² As the Lord liveth" with truth in judgment and justice: then shall the nations bless by him, and by him praise God in Jerusalem.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I Nabuchodonosar lifted up mine eyes to heaven, and mine understanding was restored to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and glorified him who liveth forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion and his kingdom is to endless generations,

¹⁴ And he said to him, Even till there shall be of an evening and a morning two thousand four hundred days. Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

¹³ For the king of the north will return, and bring a multitude greater than the former and at the end of times of years invade the frontiers with a great army, and with much wealth.

⁶ And one said to the man clothed with the flowing robes who was over the water of the river, How long to the end of these wonderful things which thou hast spoken?

¹¹ Now from the time of the change of the daily sacrifice, when the abomination of desolation shall be set up there will be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. ¹² Happy he who will wait and come to a thousand three hundred and thirty five days.

¹⁴ Therefore settle it in your minds not to premeditate what defence you shall make.

²⁴ They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captives to all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trampled down by nations until the times of nations shall be fulfilled.

⁹ but you being a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people peculiarly set apart that you may publish the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

⁵ Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his hand to heaven ⁶ and sware by him who liveth for the ages of the ages, who created the heaven and the things therein, and, the earth and the things therein and the sea and the things therein, that there should no longer be a delay, ⁷ but that in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall have sounded, as he soon will, the mystery of God shall be completed as he revealed the glad tidings to his servants the prophets.

² but leave out the court which is on the outside of the temple and measure it not; for it is given to the nations and they shall trample the holy city forty two months. ³ And I will give to my two witnesses and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days clothed in sackcloth.

⁷ And when they shall be performing their testimony the beast which ascendeth out of the bottomless gulf will come to battle with them, and overcome them, and kill them, ⁸ and their corpses will be in the broad street of the great city which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt where our Lord was crucified; ⁹ and some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will see their dead bodies three days and a half and will not permit their dead bodies to be put in graves. ¹⁰ And they who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and be glad, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented them who dwelt on the earth. ¹¹ And after the three days and a half, a breath of life from God came upon them and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon them who beheld them; ¹² and they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, Come up hither; and they ascended up to heaven in the cloud and their enemies beheld them; ¹³ and at that period there was a great earthquake and the tenth part of the city fell and seven thousand names of men were destroyed by the earthquake. And the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. ¹⁴ The second woe passed away; and behold the third woe cometh quickly. ¹⁵ Then the seventh angel sounded and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of the world are become [the kingdom] of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for the ages of the ages.

⁶ and the woman fled to the wilderness where she hath a place prepared of God that she may be nourished there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

⁵ And to it was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies. And power was given it to make war forty-two months.

¹⁴ and am come to teach thee what will befal thy people in the last days. Because this vision is for days to come.

³⁴ But they understood nothing of these things. This matter indeed was hid from them, so that they did not comprehend the meaning of what was spoken.

¹⁶ These things his disciples did not understand at the time; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him; and that they had done them for him.

⁷ Whereupon he said to them, It is not for you to know times and seasons which the Father hath reserved in his own disposal.

¹¹ and search, trying to find to what time, and what manner of time, the spirit of Christ within them pointed, when it testified before hand the sufferings which were for Christ, and the glories which should succeed them:

¹¹ all these prophesies will be to you like the words of a book which is sealed: which when they give to a man skilled in letters, saying, Read this: He will say, I cannot read it, for it is sealed.

¹ My son, if thou wilt receive the dictate which I enjoin and hide it with thee, ² thine ear will hearken to wisdom; and thou wilt apply thy heart to understanding, and transmit it for instruction to thy son. ³ For if thou wilt call upon wisdom: and utter thy voice for understanding; ⁴ if thou wilt seek for it as silver; and search for it as for treasures; ⁵ then thou shalt understand the fear of the Lord; and find the knowledge of God.

¹⁸ then come: [let our controversy be brought to issue, saith the Lord] and though your sins be as a purple stain; I will make you white as snow; though they be as a stain of scarlet; I will make you white as wool.

⁶ For the fool will speak foolishly, and his heart will devise vain things; that he may commit iniquity, and utter error before the Lord in order to scatter hungry souls: and the thirsty souls he will send away empty. ⁷ For the counsel of the wicked will devise unlawful devices to destroy the poor with unjust pleas; and to baffle the pleas of the poor in judgment.

²⁵ then I will sprinkle upon you pure water, and you shall be cleansed from all your impurities and from all your idols; and when I have cleansed you,

¹¹ But when it is forced from its channel and when it is turned from its course, and when it is caused to swell immoderately, the waters will not heal. They are turned into salt.

³ And they who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and some of the many righteous like the stars for the ages and longer.

⁹ [p] Who is wise that he may understand these things, prudent, that he may know them? Because the ways of the Lord are straight; therefore the righteous will walk in them: But in them the wicked shall be without strength.

⁹ And when I have passed this third part through fire, and tried them as silver is tried, and proved them as gold is proved; this people will invoke My name and I will hear them and say, this is my people, and they will say, the Lord is my God.

¹¹ Whereupon he said to them, To you it is granted to know the secrets of the reign of God; but to those without, all these things are delivered in parables,

¹⁷ If any man is disposed to do his will, he will know in respect to this doctrine, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

⁴⁷ He who is of God doth, for this cause, hear the words of God: you do not hearken, because you are not of God.

³⁷ Thereupon Pilate said to him, Thou art a king then? Jesus answered, It is as thou sayest, I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to bear testimony for the truth. Every one who is of the truth hearkeneth to my voice.

⁸ As it is written, "God hath given them a spirit of stupefaction, eyes not to see and ears not to hear even to this day." ⁹ And David saith, "Let their table be for a snare and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, And bow down their neck continually."

¹⁰ and which God hath revealed to us by his spirit. For this spirit searcheth all things, even the depths of God. ¹¹ For who of mankind knoweth the things of a man, but only the spirit of the man which is in him? So no one knoweth the things of God, but the spirit of God only. ¹² Now we have not received the spirit of this world, but the spirit which is from God, that we may know the things which God hath freely granted to us; ¹³ which things we indeed speak, not in set words of human wisdom, but in the dictated words of a holy spirit, explaining spiritual things by spiritual words. ¹⁴ Now an animal man receiveth not those dictates of the spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, because they are to be spiritually examined; ¹⁵ but the spiritual man examineth all things, and is himself examined by no man. ¹⁶ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Who can instruct him? As for us we have the mind of Christ.

¹¹ Now such some of you were; but, you have washed yourselves; but you are hallowed, but you are acquitted by the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God.

¹⁰ and with all the deceit of this unrighteousness among them who perish. Because they did not embrace the love of the truth that they might be saved; ¹¹ for this cause therefore God will send them the energy of delusion, that they may believe this falsehood; ¹² that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days corrected us as they thought fit; but he for our advantage, that we may partake of his holiness.

⁷ in order that your faith, which hath stood the test and is much more precious than gold which is of a perishable nature though tried by fire, may be found praise worthy, and honourable, and glorious, at the manifestation of Jesus Christ,

²² Having, in obedience to the truth, purified your souls by the spirit for an unfeigned brotherly affection, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

²⁰ and we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, and in his son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the life eternal.

¹⁸ I advise thee to purchase of me gold tried in the fire that thou mayst be rich, and white raiment that thou mayst be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayst see.

¹³ 'Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these who are clad in white robes? and whence came they?" ¹⁴ And I said to him, "Sir, thou knowest" Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of great affliction and have washed their robes and made them white by the blood of the Lamb.

²⁰ And when the rest of the men who were not slain by these chastisements neither reformed from the works of their hands so as not to worship the demons and the idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood which can neither see nor hear nor walk; ²¹ nor reformed from their murders nor from their magical incantations, nor from their fornication nor from their thefts,

¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain, and because of their ulcers, and did not reform from their works.

⁸ and it hath been granted her, that she should be arrayed in a cotton [robe] clean and white for this cotton is the righteous acts of the saints.

¹¹ Let him who is unjust be unjust still and him who is polluted be polluted still; and let the just be still just and the holy still holy.

¹² Try thy servants, we pray thee, ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink;

¹¹ And until the captain general should deliver the captivity, even by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed; and he was prospered; and the sanctuary is to be desolated; ¹² and sin was permitted against the sacrifice; and this righteousness was cast on the ground; so he acted and was prospered. ¹³ And I heard a holy one speaking; and a holy one said to the Phelmoni who spoke, "How long shall this vision last, respecting the sacrifice which is taken away, and the sin of desolation which is permitted; and the sanctuary and the host be trodden down?" ¹⁴ And he said to him, Even till there shall be of an evening and a morning two thousand four hundred days. Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

²⁷ Now one week shall confirm a covenant for many and in the half of that week my sacrifice and libation shall be taken away. And upon the temple shall be an abomination of the desolations, and at the end of a time, an end shall be put to that desolation.

³¹ And seeds out of him will spring up, and the sanctuary of the dominion will be polluted; and the daily sacrifice will be removed; and there will be set up an abomination which hath caused desolation,

¹⁵ Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, [reader attend!]

¹⁴ Now when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by the prophet Daniel, erected where it ought not [ Reader attend!] then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains;

² but leave out the court which is on the outside of the temple and measure it not; for it is given to the nations and they shall trample the holy city forty two months.

¹⁸ [p] But again the Lord will wait to be gracious to you, and will therefore be exalted for compassionating you. Because the Lord your God is judge, happy are they who wait for him.

⁴ And I saw thrones and to them who sat on them judgment was given, and [I saw] the souls of them who had been slain for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God and who had not worshipped the beast nor its image, nor received the mark on their forehead or on their hand. And they lived and reigned with the Christ the thousand years;

⁵ Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the righteous.

⁵ The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou art he who restoreth me mine inheritance.

¹ You see how a righteous one was destroyed, and no one layeth it to heart. And righteous men are taken away, and no one observeth, that on account of iniquity the righteous one was taken away. ² His sepulture shall be in peace. He is taken from among you.

⁷ Thus saith the Lord Almighty, If thou wilt walk in my ways, and keep my statutes, thou shalt judge my house. And if thou wilt carefully watch my court I will give thee men conversant with these attendants.

²⁹ Now, O Lord, thou dismissest thy servant in peace according to thy word, ³⁰ since mine eyes have seen that salvation of thine,

³⁶ Watch therefore, on every occasion, praying that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which will soon come to pass; and to stand before the son of man.

¹ For we know that when the earthly house of this dwelling of ours is dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens.

⁷ and to you who are afflicted, rest with us at the manifestation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels,

⁷ I have maintained the good combat. I have finished the course; I have kept the faith. ⁸ As to what remaineth, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, not only to me, but to all who have loved his glorious appearance.

¹⁴ Now to such as these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold the Lord is coming with his holy myriads ¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the wicked among them of all their impious deeds, which they have impiously committed, and of all the bitter things which impious sinners have uttered against him."

¹³ Then I heard a voice from the heaven saying to me, "Write, Happy the dead who die in the Lord henceforth! Yes, verily saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labours and their works accompany them.
