⁶ That in which were the black horses went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the spotted went out to the land of the south; ⁷ and the bay went out and looked with an intent to go round this land: and he said, Go and scour round this land. And when they had scoured round this land ⁸ he cried aloud and spoke to me, saying, Behold they who went to the land of the north have appeased my wrath in the land of the north.

¹¹ and thou shalt take silver and gold and make crowns and put one on the head of Jesus the son of Josedek the high priest ¹² and say to him, Thus saith the Lord Almighty, Behold a man! his name is Anatole [Day-spring] underneath him he shall spring up. And he shall build the house of the Lord. ¹³ And he shall take authority and sit and rule on his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand; and there shall be a counsel of peace between both.

⁵ And the valley of my mountains shall be blocked up; and the valley of mountains shall be closed up even to Jasod. It shall be blocked up as it was in the days of the earthquake; in the days of Ozias king of Juda. And when the Lord my God shall come and all the holy ones with him,

² And who can abide the day of his coming? Or who can stand his appearance? Since he is coming like the fire of a refiner's furnace; and like the soap of the fullers.

²¹ Now brother will deliver up brother to death; and a father, a son; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

³⁴ Do not imagine that I am come to send peace on the earth. I am not come to send peace, but a sword.

²³ And thou Capernaum, which hast been exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to the mansion of the dead; for if the miracles, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

³⁴ For this, behold I am about to send you prophets, wise men and Scribes: and some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city; ³⁵ that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth; from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

⁷ For nation will rise against nation; and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in divers places.

²⁹ Now immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her splendour; and the stars will fall from heaven, and the heavenly powers will be shaken. And then will appear the sign of the son of man in heaven.

⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him, It is as thou hast spoken. Moreover I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the son of man sitting at the right hand of that Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour:

⁵⁴ When the centurion, and they who were with him guarding Jesus, observed the earthquake, and what had happened, they were greatly terrified, and said, This was certainly a son of a God.

² and behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord, having descended from heaven, came and rolled away the stone from the entrance, and sat upon it.

¹⁸ Then Jesus came near and spoke to them, saying, All power in heaven and on earth is given to me.

²⁴ But in those days, after that distress, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will withhold her splendour, ²⁵ and the stars of heaven will continue falling, and the powers which are in the heavens will be shaken.

³³ But when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land, until the ninth hour.

⁷ And will not God vindicate the cause of his chosen, who are crying to him day and night"? Will he linger in their cause? ⁸ He will, I assure you, vindicate their cause speedily. But will the son of man, when he cometh, find this belief in this land"?

²² Because these are days of vengeance that all which are written may be accomplished;

²⁵ There will indeed be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth, anguish of desponding nations, while the sea is roaring and the billows thereof;

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.

³⁰ Then will they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us: and to the hills, Cover us.

⁴⁴ It was now about the sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth, ⁴⁵ when the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent down the middle;

² They will excommunicate you. Indeed a time is coming, when whosoever killeth you will think he doth an act of religious worship to God.

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou couldst have no power at all against me, if it were not given thee from above; therefore he who delivered me up to thee hath the greater sin.

¹⁹ and I will exhibit wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood and fire and smoky vapour. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and illustrious day of the Lord.

²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

⁵ Indeed according to this obduracy, and impenitent heart of thine thou art treasuring up for thyself wrath against a day of the wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

¹⁹ Beloved, avenge not yourselves, but give place to the wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will requite, saith the Lord."

¹⁸ For I will not presume to mention any thing, save what Christ hath wrought by me for the obedience of the Gentiles, both in profession and practice, ¹⁹ by virtue of signs and wonders, by the power of the spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem and the country around even to Illyricum, I have confirmed the glad tidings of the Christ,

²⁵ For he must reign until he hath put all the enemies under his feet.

⁵⁵ O death where is thy sting? Where thy victory, O grave?

⁵⁵ O death where is thy sting? Where thy victory, O grave? ⁵⁶ Sin is indeed the sting of death; And the law is the strength of sin: ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God who gives us the victory Through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ and go on undaunted [as we think it better for us to be abroad from the body and at home with the Lord;]

³ For walking in flesh, not after the flesh, we are carrying on a war ⁴ [the weapons of our warfare being indeed not carnal but mighty through God for the demolition of fortifications] ⁵ demolishing surmises and every mount raised against the knowledge of God, and bringing every sentiment captive to the obedience of the Christ;

²³ For I am strained between the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ which is by far the best;

¹⁷ but can if I am even poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and service of your belief, rejoice and congratulate with you all.

⁶ since it is just with God to retribute affliction to them who afflict you; ⁷ and to you who are afflicted, rest with us at the manifestation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels,

⁷ and to you who are afflicted, rest with us at the manifestation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, ⁸ executing, with flaming fire, vengeance on them who know not God, and on them who hearken not to the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ executing, with flaming fire, vengeance on them who know not God, and on them who hearken not to the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ These shall suffer punishment, an everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty,

⁸ Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me who am a prisoner on his account; but share with me in affliction for the glad tidings, according to the power of God,

⁶ For I am now about to be poured out as a libation; and the time of my departure is at hand.

¹¹ They shall perish, but thou wilt endure. They shall all wax old like a garment, ¹² And like a mantle thou wilt fold them up and they shall be changed :But as for thee, thou art the same And thy years shall have no end". ¹³ And to which of these messengers did he ever say, "Sit at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool."

³⁸ [of whom the world was not worthy] wandering in deserts, and mountains, and dens, and caves of the earth.

⁴⁰ God having provided something better for us, that without us they should not be made perfect.

²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaketh better things than that of Abel.

¹⁰ Now the day of the Lord will come, as a thief at night, when the heavens with a crashing roar shall pass away, and the elements shall be dissolved by fire, and the earth, and all the works thereon, shall be burned up.

⁶ and the angels who did not keep their own government, but left their proper abode, he hath reserved in perpetual bonds, under darkness, for the judgment of the great day.

² who hath testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and what he saw.

⁹ I John, who am your brother, and a partaker in this affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island which is called Patmos, on the account of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ even he who liveth. Though I was dead yet behold I am alive, and live for the ages of the ages, Amen. And I have the keys of the mansion of the dead, and of death.

¹³ "I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where the throne of satan is; yet thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied the belief of me, even in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you where satan dwelleth.

⁴ Thou hast a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. These shall walk with me in white robes because they are worthy. ⁵ He who overcometh shall be clothed with white raiment, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁷ And to the angel of the congregation at Philadelphia write thus saith the Holy one and the True, who hath the key [the Son] of David, who openeth and none shutteth, and who shutteth and none openeth,

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will keep thee from the hour of trial which is coming soon on the whole world, to try the inhabitants of the earth.

²¹ To him who overcometh I will grant to sit with me on my throne, as I have overcome, and sit with my Father on his throne.

² Thereupon I was immediately enrapt, and behold a throne was set in the heaven, and one was sitting on the throne.

⁵ And from the throne proceed lightnings and thunders and voices. And there were seven lamps of fire blazing before the throne: these are the seven spirits of God.

⁵ And from the throne proceed lightnings and thunders and voices. And there were seven lamps of fire blazing before the throne: these are the seven spirits of God. ⁶ And before the throne was a glassy sea resembling chrystal. And in the middle of the throne and around the throne were four animate beings full of eyes before and behind.

⁶ And before the throne was a glassy sea resembling chrystal. And in the middle of the throne and around the throne were four animate beings full of eyes before and behind. ⁷ And the first animate being was like a lion; and the second animate being was like a calf; and the third animate being had a face like a man; and the fourth animate being was like a flying eagle.

⁷ And the first animate being was like a lion; and the second animate being was like a calf; and the third animate being had a face like a man; and the fourth animate being was like a flying eagle.

⁹ And when the animate beings give glory and honour and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, to him who liveth for the ages of the ages,

¹ And I saw in the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne a volume written within and on the back sealed with seven seals.

⁵ one of the elders saith to me, "weep not; behold! the lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the volume and to loose the seven seals thereof."

⁵ one of the elders saith to me, "weep not; behold! the lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the volume and to loose the seven seals thereof." ⁶ Then I looked and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four animate beings and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as if it had been slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. ⁷ And he went and took the book out of the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne.

⁹ And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou hast been slain and hast purchased us for God with thy blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation;

¹ And I looked when the lamb opened the first of the seals and I heard the first of the four animate beings say as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see."

³ And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second animate being say, "Come and see!"

⁵ And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third animate being say, "Come and see!" And I looked and behold! a black horse, and he who was mounted upon him had a balance in his hand.

⁷ And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth animate being say, "Come and see."

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O sovereign, the holy one and the true, dost thou defer judging and avenging our blood on the inhabitants of the earth?"

³ saying, "Hurt not the earth nor the sea nor the trees until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."

⁹ After this I looked and behold! a great multitude, which no one could number, of every nation and of tribes and peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clad in white robes; and palm branches in their hands;

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.

³ And another angel came and stood by the altar, having a golden censer: and to him much incense was given, that he might offer it, for the prayers of all the saints, upon the golden altar which is before the throne.

⁵ the angel took the censer and filled it with some of the fire of the altar and threw it on the earth. And there were noises and thunders and lightnings and an earthquake.

⁷ And the first angel sounded; and there was hail and fire mingled with blood which were thrown on the earth and the third part of the trees was burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. ⁸ And the second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain blazing with fire was cast into the sea; and the third part of the sea became blood; ⁹ and the third part of the creatures, which were in the sea and which had life, died; and the third part of the ships was destroyed. ¹⁰ And the third angel sounded; and there fell from heaven a great star blazing like a torch; and it fell upon the third part of the rivers and on the fountains of the waters. ¹¹ [Now the name of the star is called wormwood.] And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many of the men died of the waters because they were made bitter. ¹² And the fourth angel sounded; and the third part of the sun, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars were smitten, so that the third part of them was darkened and the day did not shine the third part of it and in like manner the night.

¹ And when the fifth angel sounded, I saw a star fallen from heaven on the earth. And to it was given the key of the pit of the bottomless gulf, 2 and it opened the pit of the bottomless gulf; and a smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit.

⁴ and a charge was given to them not to hurt the grass of the earth nor any thing green nor any tree, nothing but the men only who have not the seal of God on their foreheads;

¹³ And the sixth angel sounded; and I heard a united voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God

¹⁵ and the four angels who were ready prepared were loosed for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, that they might slay the third part of men.

¹⁸ By these three the third part of the men was slain by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone which issue out of their mouths;

³ and cried with a loud voice as a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices ⁴ And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices I was going to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me. "Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not.

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,

³ And I will give to my two witnesses and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days clothed in sackcloth. ⁴ These are the two olive trees and the two lamps which stand before the God of the earth. ⁵ And if any one attempt to injure them a fire issueth out of their mouth, and utterly devoureth their enemies. If any one indeed attempt to wrong them in this manner he ought to be slain. ⁶ These have power to shut the heaven that it may not rain in the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every calamity as often as they please. 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,

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.

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.

¹⁸ The nations indeed were enraged and thy wrath came and the time for the dead to be avenged and for giving the reward to thy servants the teachers and to the saints and to them who fear thy name, small and great, and for destroying them who destroy the earth. ¹⁹ And the temple of God in heaven was opened; and the ark of his covenant in his temple was seen. And there were lightnings and noises and thunders and an earthquake and great hail.

³ And another sign was seen in heaven and behold! a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and on his heads seven crowns; ⁴ and his tail dragged the third part of the stars of heaven and threw them on the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was in labour, that when she brought forth he might devour her child.

¹¹ and they have conquered him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony and have not spared to expose their life even to death. ¹² Therefore rejoice ye heavens and ye who dwell in them. Alas! for the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! for the devil is gone down to you in great wrath knowing that he hath but a little time. ¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast on the earth he persecuted the woman who had brought forth the masculine child; ¹⁴ and to the woman were given two wings of the great eagle that she might fly to the wilderness to her place where she is nourished for a time and times and the half of a time from the face of the serpent. ¹⁵ And the serpent spouted out of his mouth after the woman water like a river that she might be swept away by the stream; ¹⁶ and the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the torrent which the dragon spouted out of his mouth: ¹⁷ and the dragon was enraged at the woman and went to make war against the rest of her seed them who were keeping the commandments of God and maintaining the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ If any one gathereth [prisoners] for captivity; into captivity he goeth; if any one shall kill with the sword; with the sword he ought to be slain. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints.

¹⁵ And power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might speak and cause all to be slain who would not worship the image of the beast.

² And I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of musicians playing on their kitharas

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. ¹⁴ And I looked and behold! a white cloud and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man having on his head a crown of gold and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁸ And another angel came out from the altar, having power over the fire and he cried with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle saying, Put forth that sharp sickle of thine and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for its grapes are ripe:

² And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, and them who were victorious over the beast and over its image and over the number of its name, standing at the glassy sea having the musical instruments of God; ³ and they sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord, God, Almighty; Just and true are thy ways O thou king of the saints; ⁴ Who would not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou alone art perfect. For all the nations will come and worship before thee, For thy rules of rectitude are made manifest.

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, O Lord, who art and who wast and who art to come, because thou hast passed these judgments. ⁶ Because they poured out the blood of thy saints and prophets, therefore thou hast given them blood to drink, for they deserve it. ⁷ And I heard another from the altar, saying, Yes, Lord, God, Almighty, thy judgments are true and righteous.

⁷ And I heard another from the altar, saying, Yes, Lord, God, Almighty, thy judgments are true and righteous.

¹⁴ For these are spirits of demons making signs which go forth to the kings of the earth and the whole world, to gather them together to the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.

¹⁸ And there were noises and thunders and lightnings and there was a great earthquake, such, that there had not been since men were on the earth such an extensive, so great a shock.

²⁰ and every island fled; and mountains were not found;

³ And he carried me away in spirit to a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of blasphemous names, which had seven heads and ten horns.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus; and when I saw her I expressed my astonishment with great amaze.

¹⁴ These will make war against the lamb, and the lamb will overcome them; for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and they who are with him are called and chosen and faithful.

⁹ And the kings of the earth who have committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will wail and beat their breasts for her, when they see the smoke of her burning ¹⁰ standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying, Alas! Alas! that great city Babylon! that 'mighty city! for in one hour thy judgment is come. ¹¹ The merchants of the earth also will weep and mourn for her; because no one any more buyeth their merchandize

²⁰ Rejoice over her, O heaven! and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints and of all who were slain on the earth.

² for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath passed sentence on the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and hath avenged the blood of his servants, at her hand.

⁶ And I heard as it were a voice of a great multitude and as a sound of many waters, and as it were a peal of mighty thunder saying, Alleluia. Because the Lord God the Omnipotent reigneth,

¹⁰ Whereupon I fell down at his feet to worship him. And he saith to me, See thou do not. I am the fellow servant of thee and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the spirit of this prophecy is the testimony of Jesus. ¹¹ Then I saw the heaven opened and behold a white horse I and he who was mounted on him was called; Faithful And True, and with righteousness he judgeth and maketh war. ¹² His eyes are like a flame of fire; and on his head are many crowns and he hath a name written which no one but himself knoweth; ¹³ and he was clothed with a mantle dipped in blood; and his name is The Word or God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven clad in cotton robes white and clean followed him on white horses.

¹⁴ And the armies in heaven clad in cotton robes white and clean followed him on white horses. ¹⁵ And out of his mouth issueth a sharp sword that with it he may smite the nations. And he himself tendeth them with an iron crook; and he himself treadeth the press of the venemous and raging wine of God Almighty.

¹⁵ And out of his mouth issueth a sharp sword that with it he may smite the nations. And he himself tendeth them with an iron crook; and he himself treadeth the press of the venemous and raging wine of God Almighty. ¹⁶ And he hath on his mantle and on his thigh this name written King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords. ¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun and he cried with a loud voice to all the birds which fly in mid-heaven saying, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God; ¹⁸ that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them mounted on them and the flesh of all both freemen and slaves, both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to come to a battle with him who was mounted on the horse and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet who did these signs before him by which he led astray them who had received the mark of the beast, and them who worshipped his image. Both these were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone; ²¹ and the rest were slain with the sword of him who was mounted on the horse; with that which issueth out of his mouth; and all the birds were glutted with their flesh.

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;

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat thereon from whose presence the earth and the heaven fled away and there was no place found for them.

¹³ And the sea delivered up the dead in it; and death and the mansion of the dead delivered up the dead in them; and they were judged, every one according to his works. ¹⁴ And death and the mansion of the dead were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

¹ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth were passed away and the sea is no more.
