Bible verses about "armageddon" | Goodspeed

²⁵ There will be signs too in sun, moon, and stars, and on earth dismay among the heathen, bewildered at the roar of the sea and the waves.

¹ Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and spoke to me. "Come," he said, "I will show you the doom of the great idolatress who is seated on many waters, ² in whose idolatry the kings of the earth have joined, and with the wine of whose idolatry the inhabitants of the earth have been intoxicated." ³ So he carried me away in a trance to a desert, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet animal all covered with blasphemous titles; it had seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and glittered with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She had in her hand a gold cup full of accursed things, and the impurities of her immorality. ⁵ On her forehead there was written a name that was symbolic: "Mighty Babylon, mother of idolatresses and of earth's abominations." ⁶ I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's people, and the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her I was perfectly amazed, ⁷ but the angel said to me, "Why are you amazed? I will explain to you what the woman and the animal with seven heads and ten horns that carries her symbolize. ⁸ The animal that you saw was, and is no more; it is going to come up out of the abyss, but it is to go to destruction. The inhabitants of the earth, whose names from the foundation of the world have not been written in the book of life, will be amazed when they see that the animal was, and is no more, and yet is to come. ⁹ Here is a problem for a profound mind! The seven heads are seven hills, on which the woman is seated. ¹⁰ They are also seven kings; five have fallen, one is reigning, the other has not yet come, and when he does his stay must be brief. ¹¹ So must it be with the animal that was, and is no more. It is also an eighth king, although it is one of the seven, and it is to go to destruction. ¹² The ten horns that you saw are also ten kings, who have not yet begun to reign, but for a single hour they receive authority as kings along with the animal. ¹³ They have one purpose, they give their power and authority to the animal. ¹⁴ They will make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb with his elect, chosen, and faithful followers with him will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. ¹⁵ "The waters that you saw," he said to me, "on which the idolatrous woman was seated, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. ¹⁶ The ten horns that you saw and the animal will hate the idolatrous woman and make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh and burn her up with fire. ¹⁷ For God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by having a common purpose and giving up their authority to the animal until God's decrees are carried out. ¹⁸ And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth."

¹⁵ Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and loud voices were heard in heaven, saying, "The sovereignty of the world has passed into the possession of our Lord and his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever."

¹¹ Then I saw heaven thrown open and there appeared a white horse. His rider was called Faithful and True, and he judges and wages war in uprightness. ¹² His eyes blazed like fire. There were many diadems on his head, and there was a name written on him which no one knew but himself. ¹³ The garment he wore was spattered with blood, and his name was the Word of God. ¹⁴ The armies of heaven followed him mounted on white horses and clothed in pure white linen. ¹⁵ From his mouth came a sharp sword with which he is to strike down the heathen. He will shepherd them with a staff of iron, and will tread the winepress of the fierce anger of God Almighty. ¹⁶ On his clothing and his thigh he has this title written: King of kings and Lord of lords. ¹⁷ Then I saw an angel standing on the sun, and shouting in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in midair, "Come! Gather for God's great banquet, ¹⁸ and eat the bodies of kings, commanders, and mighty men, of horses and their riders—the bodies of all men, slaves and freemen, high and low." ¹⁹ Then I saw the animal and the kings of the earth and their armies gather to make war on him who was mounted upon the horse and upon his army. ²⁰ And the animal was captured and with it the false prophet who performed wonders on its behalf by means of which he led astray those who had let the animal's mark be put on them and who worshiped its statue. Both of them were flung alive into the fiery lake of burning brimstone. ²¹ The rest were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of him who sat on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves upon their bodies.

⁹ So the great dragon, the ancient serpent who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world, was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

¹⁹ Then I saw the animal and the kings of the earth and their armies gather to make war on him who was mounted upon the horse and upon his army. ²⁰ And the animal was captured and with it the false prophet who performed wonders on its behalf by means of which he led astray those who had let the animal's mark be put on them and who worshiped its statue. Both of them were flung alive into the fiery lake of burning brimstone. ²¹ The rest were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of him who sat on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves upon their bodies.

¹⁴ Then I saw a white cloud, and seated on it a being like a man, with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple and cried in a loud voice to him who was seated on the cloud, "Use your sickle and reap. The time has come to reap, for the earth's harvest is ripe." ¹⁶ So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came forth from the altar, who presided over the fire, and he called in a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, "Use your sharp sickle and gather the bunches of grapes from the earth's vine, for the grapes on it are ripe." ¹⁹ So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the fruit of the earth's vine, and flung them into the great winepress of God's wrath. ²⁰ The grapes were trodden in the winepress outside the city, and blood poured out of the winepress in a stream so deep that for 200 miles it came up to the horses' bridles.
