Revelation 14 Cross References - WPNT

¹ And wow, I saw a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads. ² And I heard a sound from the sky, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of loud thunder; and the sound that I heard was like harpists playing on their harps. ³ And they sing a new song before the Throne, and before the four living beings and the elders; and no one was able to learn the song except the 144 thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These are the ones not defiled with women, for they are virgins; these are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He may go. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, firstfruits for God and for the Lamb; ⁵ no lie was found in their mouth, for they are blameless. ⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an everlasting gospel to be proclaimed to those who reside on the earth—to every ethnic nation and tribe and language and people— ⁷ saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judging has come, and do obeisance to Him who made heaven and earth, the ocean and springs of water.” ⁸ And another, a second, angel followed, saying, “It fell, it fell, Babylon the great!—she made all the nations drink of the wine of the rage of her fornication.” ⁹ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the Beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ really, he will drink of the wine of the fury of God, mixed at full strength in the cup of His wrath. In fact, he will be tormented with fire and sulfur before the holy angels and before the Lamb.” ¹¹ So the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, those who worship the Beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. ¹² Here is the endurance of the saints, here those who keep the commands of God and the faith of Jesus. ¹³ I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on’ (“Yes” says the Spirit) ‘so that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow along with them’.” ¹⁴ And wow, I saw a white cloud, and someone like a son of man sitting on the cloud, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple crying out with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come because the harvest of the earth is dry.” ¹⁶ So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was harvested. ¹⁷ Then another angel came out of the temple (the one in heaven), he too having a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came out from the altar (having authority over the fire) and he called out with a loud cry to the one having the sharp sickle saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the grape clusters of the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.” ¹⁹ So the angel swung his sickle at the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of God’s fury. ²⁰ And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress up to the horses’ bridles, for a thousand six hundred stadia.

²³ because as I went along and scrutinized the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO UNKNOWN GOD. Now then, the one you worship as ‘unknown’, this is the One I proclaim to you: ²⁴ The God who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples built by hands, ²⁵ neither is He cared for by men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself has always given life and breath to all.

²⁸ So take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God which He purchased with His own blood.

¹⁸ The message of the cross, you see, is foolishness to those who are being wasted, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

²⁰ Because you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

²⁵ Now about the virgins I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy. ²⁶ I consider therefore that this is good because of the current distress—that it is good for a man to remain as he is:

²⁸ However, should you marry, you haven’t sinned; and if a virgin should marry, she hasn’t sinned. Still, such will have trouble in the flesh, and I want to spare you.

¹⁸ Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.

⁵⁸ So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

¹⁴ who is the down payment on our inheritance until the release of the possession, to the praise of His glory.

⁹ and to enlighten all as to the program of the secret that from the beginning of the ages has been hidden by the God who created all things through Jesus Christ; ¹⁰ to the intent that now, through the Church, the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms, ¹¹ according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished by Christ Jesus our Lord,

²⁷ that He might present her—the splendid Church—to Himself, not having a blemish or a wrinkle or any such thing, but that she be holy and blameless.

²¹ —to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. ²² Now if I am to live on in the flesh it will mean fruitful labor for me, so I don’t know what to choose. ²³ I am torn between the two: I have the desire to depart and be with Christ (far better),

¹⁷ Yes, even if I am a libation being poured on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

²² by His physical body through His death, so as to present you before Him holy and blameless and above reproach — ²³ if, that is, you continue in the faith established and firm, not drifting away from the hope of the Gospel, that you heard and that was proclaimed in all the creation under the heaven, of which I, Paul, became a servant.

¹⁶ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved—so as to fill up the measure of their sins. They have received the full impact of the Wrath).

¹⁴ Because since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, just so will God bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

¹⁶ because the Lord Himself—with a commanding shout, with the archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet—will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first;

¹⁰ who died for us so that whether awake or asleep we may live together with Him.

⁶ since to God it is right to pay back affliction to those who are afflicting you ⁷ and rest (along with us) to you who are being afflicted, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels in blazing fire, ⁸ inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁹ who will pay a penalty: everlasting ruin, away from the face of the Lord and from the glory of His might,

¹⁶ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope, by grace,

³ who forbid to marry and to eat foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and really know the truth.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now the crown of the righteousness is reserved for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day; and not only to me, but also to all those who have longed for His appearing.

¹ Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God’s elect and a real knowledge of the truth that accords with godliness, ² in hope of eternal life —which life God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time ³ but has manifested by a proclamation of His Word at chosen times, which word was entrusted to me by the command of our Savior God;

⁸ while to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; ‘Scepter of Uprightness’ is the scepter of Your kingdom.

⁹ But we do see Jesus, who ‘was made lower than the angels, for a little while’ (in order to suffer death), ‘crowned with glory and honor’—this, by the grace of God, so that He\up6 [S]\up0 might taste death on behalf of everyone.

⁹ So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. ¹⁰ Further, the one having entered into His rest has himself also rested from his own works, just as God did from His. ¹¹ Therefore, let us take pains to enter into that rest so that no one may fall through the same pattern of disobedience.

¹⁰ Because God is not unjust so as to ignore your work, even the labor of love you have invested in His name, in that you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so. ¹¹ You see, we really do want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so as to fulfill the hope;

²² but you have come to Mount Zion, even to the City of the Living God, Heavenly Jerusalem; to myriads of angels in festal gathering, ²³ to an assembly of firstborn ones who have been enrolled in heaven; to God, Judge of all; to the spirits of the perfected righteous; ²⁴ to Jesus, Mediator of a new covenant, and to a blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

¹¹ Because the bodies of the animals—whose blood, concerning sin, is brought into the Holies by the high priest—are burned up outside the camp, ¹² therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people by His own blood, suffered outside the city gate.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace—who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep—

¹⁸ Having willed it, He brought us forth by a word of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of His products.

⁹ But you are a chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a private-property people, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

¹⁰ For: “The one who wants to love life and to see good days must refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit;

⁷ The end of all things has approached; therefore be serious and self-controlled in your praying.

⁷ So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns—who gave themselves up to fornication and went after a different kind of flesh in a manner similar to those angels—stand as an example, undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

²⁴ Now to Him who is able to keep them from stumbling and to present them before His glorious presence without fault and with exultation—

⁷ Take note, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts [in dismay] because of Him. Yea, verily!

¹⁰ I was in spirit on the Lord’s day and I heard a voice behind me, loud as a trumpet, ¹¹ saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

¹³ and in the midst of the seven lampstands one similar to a son of man, clothed down to the feet and girded at the nipples with a golden belt.

¹⁵ and His feet were like fine brass, as when refined in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters;

¹ “To the messenger of the church in Ephesus write: These things says He who holds the seven stars on His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

¹⁷ ‘He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who overcomes I will grant to eat from the hidden manna. And I will give him a white pebble, and on the pebble a new name written, which no one knows except the receiver.’

⁴ ‘But you do have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

⁸ ‘I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, that no one is able to shut; because you have a little strength and have kept my Word and have not denied my name.

¹⁰ Because you have kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of the testing that is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to test those who dwell on the earth.

¹² The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never again go out. And I will write on him the name of my God, the name of my God’s city—the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God—and my new name.

¹ After these things I looked and wow —a door standing open in the sky, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here and I will show you the things that must take place after these.” ² And immediately I was in spirit, and there, a throne set in heaven (and One sitting on the throne) ³ similar in appearance to a stone, jasper and carnelian, and there was a rainbow around the throne, similar in appearance to an emerald. ⁴ And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw the twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes and golden crowns on their heads. ⁵ And out of the throne came lightnings and voices and thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before His throne, which are seven spirits of God; ⁶ and before the throne it was like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living beings full of eyes, front and back. ⁷ The first living being was similar to a lion, the second living being was similar to a calf, the third living being had a face like a man, and the fourth living being was similar to a flying eagle. ⁸ And the four living beings, each one of them, having six wings apiece, were full of eyes around and within. And they take no rest, day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; The Lord God Almighty; He who was and who is and who is coming.”

⁸ And the four living beings, each one of them, having six wings apiece, were full of eyes around and within. And they take no rest, day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; The Lord God Almighty; He who was and who is and who is coming.” ⁹ And whenever the living beings ascribe glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever,

⁹ And whenever the living beings ascribe glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever,

⁹ And whenever the living beings ascribe glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying:

¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying: ¹¹ “You are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created!”

¹¹ “You are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created!”

⁵ So one of the elders says to me, “Stop weeping! Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals.” ⁶ And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing —as if slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. ⁷ And He goes and takes it out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne! ⁸ And when He took the scroll the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having harps and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.

⁸ And when He took the scroll the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having harps and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they sing a new song saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals; because You were slaughtered, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and language and people and ethnic nation;

⁹ And they sing a new song saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals; because You were slaughtered, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and language and people and ethnic nation;

¹² saying with a great voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive the power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” ¹³ And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and those upon the sea, and everything in them—I heard them all saying: “To Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb: the blessing and the honor and the glory and the power for ever and ever! Amen!!”

¹³ And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and those upon the sea, and everything in them—I heard them all saying: “To Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb: the blessing and the honor and the glory and the power for ever and ever! Amen!!” ¹⁴ and the four living beings saying the “Amen”. And the elders fell and did obeisance.

¹ And I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings saying, like a voice of thunder, “Come!” ² And I looked and, wow, a white horse! And he who sat on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, that is, in order to conquer.

⁸ And I looked and wow, a sickly pale horse! And as for the one sitting upon it, his name is Death, and Hades follows with him. And authority was given to him over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword and by famine and by death, even by the wild animals of the earth. ⁹ And when He opened the fifth seal I saw underneath the altar the souls of the people who had been slaughtered on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of the Lamb which they held. ¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice saying, “How long, O Sovereign, Holy and True, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice saying, “How long, O Sovereign, Holy and True, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” ¹¹ So a white robe was given to each of them, and they were told that they should rest a while longer, until both their fellow slaves and their brothers, who were about to be killed just like they were, should complete the number .

³ saying: “Do not harm the earth nor the sea nor the trees, until we have sealed the slaves of our God on their foreheads.” ⁴ And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: ⁵ From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, ⁶ from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, ⁷ from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, ⁸ from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. ⁹ After these things I looked, and wow, a great multitude that no one could number, from all ethnic nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the Throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes and palm branches in their hands. ¹⁰ And they shouted with a loud voice saying, “Saved by our God who sits on the throne, and by the Lamb!” ¹¹ And all the angels stood around the Throne, and the elders and the four living beings, and they fell down before the Throne, on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² saying: “Amen! The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength to our God for ever and ever! Amen.”

¹² saying: “Amen! The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength to our God for ever and ever! Amen.” ¹³ And one of the elders reacted, saying to me, “Who are these that are clothed in the white robes, and where did they come from?” ¹⁴ So I said to him, “My lord, you know.” So he said to me: “These are those who come out of the Great Tribulation—they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His sanctuary. And He who sits on the throne will shelter them. ¹⁶ They shall not hunger anymore, nor thirst anymore; the sun will absolutely not strike them, nor any heat; ¹⁷ because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

⁷ So the first one trumpeted, and there appeared hail and fire mixed with blood, and it [the mixture] was thrown at the earth, and a third of the earth was burned up; that is, a third of the trees was burned up and all green grass was burned up.

¹⁰ So the third angel trumpeted, and a great star fell out of the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell upon a third of the rivers, and on the springs of waters.

¹³ And I saw and heard an eagle flying in midheaven saying with a loud voice, three times; “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth because of the remaining trumpet blasts of the three angels who are about to trumpet!”

¹⁷ And in the vision I saw the horses like this: those who rode them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue and sulfur yellow; the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads; out of their mouths came fire, smoke and brimstone. ¹⁸ By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone that came out of their mouths.

¹ (I saw a mighty angel descending out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow on his head; his face was like the sun and his feet like pillars of fire;

³ and he cried out with a loud voice, just like a lion roars. And when he cried out the seven thunders uttered their voices. ⁴ Now when the seven thunders spoke I was about to write, but I heard a voice out of heaven saying, “Seal up the things that the seven thunders said,” and “You write after these things.”

⁴ Now when the seven thunders spoke I was about to write, but I heard a voice out of heaven saying, “Seal up the things that the seven thunders said,” and “You write after these things.”

¹¹ And he said to me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, even over ethnic nations and languages and kings.”

⁸ —and leave their corpses in the street of the great city! (which is called Sodom and Egypt, spiritually speaking), even where their Lord was crucified.

¹² And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them. ¹³ And in that day there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand individuals were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became fearful and gave glory to the God of heaven.)

¹⁵ So the seventh angel trumpeted, and there were loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.”

¹⁷ saying: “We thank You, O Lord God Almighty, He who is and who was and who is coming, because You have taken up your great power and begun to reign. ¹⁸ The nations were angry and your wrath came, even the time for the dead to be judged and to give the reward to Your slaves the prophets, and to the saints and those who fear your name, small and great, and to destroy those who have corrupted the earth.” ¹⁹ And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings and huge hail.

¹⁷ So the dragon was furious about the woman and off he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony of Jesus.

³ And one of his heads was as if it had been mortally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the Beast. ⁴ And they did obeisance to the dragon who had given the authority to the Beast, and they did obeisance to the Beast saying, “Who is like the Beast, and who is able to make war with him?” ⁵ And he was given a mouth speaking great things, that is, blasphemy; and he was given authority to make war forty-two months. ⁶ So he opened that mouth of his in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, those who dwell in Heaven. ⁷ And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given him over every tribe and language and ethnic nation.

¹⁰ If anyone has captivity, he goes away. If anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints. ¹¹ Now I saw another beast of prey coming up out of the land, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. ¹² And he exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence; and he started to cause the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

¹² And he exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence; and he started to cause the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed. ¹³ And he performs great signs, including that fire should come down from heaven upon the earth before the people. ¹⁴ And he deceives my own people, those dwelling on the earth, by the signs that it was given to him to perform before the Beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who had the sword wound and lived. ¹⁵ And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast should actually speak, and should cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast to be killed. ¹⁶ And he causes everyone—both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave—to receive marks on their right hand or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ so that no one would be able to buy or sell who does not have the mark, the name of the Beast or the number of his name.

¹ And wow, I saw a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an everlasting gospel to be proclaimed to those who reside on the earth—to every ethnic nation and tribe and language and people— ⁷ saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judging has come, and do obeisance to Him who made heaven and earth, the ocean and springs of water.” ⁸ And another, a second, angel followed, saying, “It fell, it fell, Babylon the great!—she made all the nations drink of the wine of the rage of her fornication.” ⁹ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the Beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

¹¹ So the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, those who worship the Beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

¹⁴ And wow, I saw a white cloud, and someone like a son of man sitting on the cloud, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁴ And wow, I saw a white cloud, and someone like a son of man sitting on the cloud, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple crying out with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come because the harvest of the earth is dry.”

¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple crying out with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come because the harvest of the earth is dry.”

¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple crying out with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come because the harvest of the earth is dry.” ¹⁶ So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was harvested.

¹⁶ So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was harvested. ¹⁷ Then another angel came out of the temple (the one in heaven), he too having a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came out from the altar (having authority over the fire) and he called out with a loud cry to the one having the sharp sickle saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the grape clusters of the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.” ¹⁹ So the angel swung his sickle at the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of God’s fury.

² And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who prevailed over the Beast and over his image and over the number of his name, standing on the glassy sea, having harps of God. ³ They sing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! ⁴ Who could not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? Because You alone are holy, because all the nations will come and do obeisance before You, because Your righteous judgments have been manifested.” ⁵ After these things I looked, and the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.

⁵ After these things I looked, and the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. ⁶ And out from the sanctuary came the seven angels, the ones having the seven plagues; they were clothed in pure bright linen and were girded around the chests with golden belts.

⁶ And out from the sanctuary came the seven angels, the ones having the seven plagues; they were clothed in pure bright linen and were girded around the chests with golden belts.

¹ And I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the bowls of God’s fury on the earth.”

¹ And I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the bowls of God’s fury on the earth.” ² So off went the first one and poured out his bowl on the earth, and a foul and malignant ulcer appeared in the people who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. ³ Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood, like a dead person’s; so every living soul in the sea died. ⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “How just You are! The One who is and who was, the holy One, because You have judged these things. ⁶ Because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They deserve it!” ⁷ And I heard one from the altar saying, “Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty! Your judgings are true and just!” ⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was granted to him to burn the people with fire.

⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was granted to him to burn the people with fire. ⁹ So the people were burned with severe burns, and they blasphemed the name of God, who has authority over these plagues. And they did not repent to give Him glory.

⁹ So the people were burned with severe burns, and they blasphemed the name of God, who has authority over these plagues. And they did not repent to give Him glory. ¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the Beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness; so they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. ¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains, and because of their ulcers; yet they did not repent of their deeds. ¹² Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way for the kings from the sun’s rising might be prepared. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. ¹⁵ (“Watch out, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who watches and guards his clothes, so that he not walk about naked and they see his shame.”) ¹⁶ So he gathered them to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. ¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a great voice came out of the sanctuary of heaven, from the Throne, saying, “It is done!”

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a great voice came out of the sanctuary of heaven, from the Throne, saying, “It is done!” ¹⁸ and there were lightnings and thunders and noises. And there was a tremendous earthquake, a terribly severe earthquake such as had not occurred since mankind existed on the earth. ¹⁹ So the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath.

¹⁹ So the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath. ²⁰ And every island fled, and mountains were not found. ²¹ And huge hailstones, weighing about a talent, fall out of the sky on the people; and the people blasphemed God on account of the plague of the hail, because its plague was exceedingly severe.

² with whom the kings of the earth fornicated; and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” ³ So he took me away in spirit to a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. ⁵ And on her forehead a name was written: “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the prostitutes and the abominations of the earth.” ⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, even with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And upon seeing her I was tremendously impressed.

¹⁴ They will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”

¹⁸ Now the woman whom you saw is the great city that holds rulership over the kings of the earth.

² And he cried out with a strong voice saying: “It fell, it fell, Babylon the great! and has become a dwelling place of demons, even a prison of every unclean spirit, also a prison of every unclean and detestable bird. ³ Because all the nations have drunk of the rage of the wine of her fornication and the kings of the earth have fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich through the strength of her luxury.”

³ Because all the nations have drunk of the rage of the wine of her fornication and the kings of the earth have fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich through the strength of her luxury.”

⁶ Render to her just as she rendered to you; yes, pay her back double, according to her deeds; in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her.

¹⁰ standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, O great city Babylon, O mighty city! Because your judgment came in one hour .’

¹⁰ standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, O great city Babylon, O mighty city! Because your judgment came in one hour .’ ¹¹ “And the merchants of the earth weep and sorrow over her because no one buys their goods anymore:

¹⁷ because in one hour such great wealth was laid waste.’ “And every ship captain, and all who travel by ship—sailors and as many as work the sea—stood afar off ¹⁸ and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘Who is like the great city!?’

¹⁸ and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘Who is like the great city!?’ ¹⁹ They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and sorrowing and saying, ‘Alas, alas, O great city! by which all who had ships in the sea became rich, by her costly abundance; because in one hour she was laid waste.’

¹⁹ They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and sorrowing and saying, ‘Alas, alas, O great city! by which all who had ships in the sea became rich, by her costly abundance; because in one hour she was laid waste.’ ²⁰ “Rejoice over her, O heaven, yes you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her!” ²¹ And a mighty angel took up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the ocean saying: “The great city Babylon will be thrown down violently, just like that, and will never be found again. ²² ‘The sound of harpists and musicians and flutists and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; no craftsman of whatever craft will ever be found in you again; the sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again;

¹ After these things I heard as it were the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven saying, “Hallelujah! The salvation and power and glory of our God! ² Because His judgments are true and just, because He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of His slaves by her hand.”

² Because His judgments are true and just, because He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of His slaves by her hand.” ³ And a second voice said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up for ever and ever!”

³ And a second voice said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up for ever and ever!” ⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God, who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen, Hallelujah!” ⁵ And a voice came from the Throne saying, “”Praise our God, all you His slaves and those who fear Him, small and great!”

⁵ And a voice came from the Throne saying, “”Praise our God, all you His slaves and those who fear Him, small and great!” ⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderings saying: “Hallelujah! Because the Lord our God reigns, the Almighty! ⁷ Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His wife has prepared herself.”

⁹ And he says to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb’.” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.”

¹² Now His eyes were a flame of fire and on His head were many diadems, having names written, besides a written name that no one knows except Himself;

¹⁴ And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white, clean, followed Him on white horses. ¹⁵ And out of His mouth goes a sharp, two-edged sword, so that with it He may strike the nations. And He Himself will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He Himself treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God, the Almighty. ¹⁶ And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh, King of kings and Lord of lords! ¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, “Come, gather together to the great dinner of God, ¹⁸ so that you may eat flesh of kings and flesh of commanders and flesh of the mighty and flesh of horses along with their riders, even the flesh of all, both free and slave, both small and great.” ¹⁹ And I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the One riding the horse and against His army. ²⁰ So the Beast was captured, and with him the False prophet, the one who performed signs in his presence (by which he had deceived those who had received the mark of the Beast and those who worshipped his image). The two were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire that burns with brimstone.

²⁰ So the Beast was captured, and with him the False prophet, the one who performed signs in his presence (by which he had deceived those who had received the mark of the Beast and those who worshipped his image). The two were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire that burns with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were killed by the sword that proceeds from the mouth of the One riding the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

⁶ Blessed and holy is the one having a part in the first resurrection; upon such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

¹⁰ And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the Lake of Fire and brimstone, where the Beast and the False prophet also are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. ¹¹ Then I saw a tremendous white throne and the One who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away; and no place was found for them.

⁵ Then He who sat on the throne said, “Take note, I make everything new!” And He says to me, “Write, because these words are true and faithful!”

⁸ But as for the cowardly and unbelieving and sinners and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters, and all who are false, their portion is in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

⁵ Night will not exist there and they will need neither lamp nor sunlight, because the Lord God illuminates them. And they will reign forever and ever.
