Bible verses about "revelations" | WPNT

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.”

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. ³ And when He opened the second seal I heard the second living being saying, “Come!” ⁴ And another horse went out, fiery red, and it was granted to him who sat on it to take the peace from the earth, so that they would slaughter each other; also, a huge sword was given to him. ⁵ And when He opened the third seal I heard the third living being saying, “Come!” And I looked and, wow, a black horse! And he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. ⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living beings saying, “A ‘quart’ of wheat for a denarius and three ‘quarts’ of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the olive oil and the wine.” ⁷ And when He opened the fourth seal I heard a voice from the fourth living being saying, “Come!” 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?” 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 . ¹² And I saw, just when He opened the sixth seal—there was a severe earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. ¹³ And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, like a fig tree drops its late figs when shaken by a strong wind. ¹⁴ And the sky was split, like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth and the magnates and the generals and the rich and the mighty, and every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. ¹⁶ And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! ¹⁷ Because the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

¹ Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; also, the ocean was no more. ² And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Take note, the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people. Yes, God Himself will be with them. ⁴ And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death nor sorrow nor crying nor pain —they will exist no more because the first things have gone.” 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!” ⁶ Then He said to me, “I have become the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I will give of the spring of the water of Life freely. ⁷ He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be God to him and he will be a son to me. 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.” ⁹ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the woman, the Lamb’s bride.” ¹⁰ So he transported me in spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the splendor of God. Her radiance was similar to a most precious stone, like a crystalline jasper stone; ¹² she had a tremendous, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, namely the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; ¹³ looking from the east, three gates, and from the north, three gates, and from the south, three gates, and from the west, three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names, of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Now he who spoke with me had a measure, a golden reed, so that he might measure the city and her gates. ¹⁶ The city is laid out as a square; that is, her length is equal to her width. So he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand and twelve stadia. Her length and width and height are equal. ¹⁷ And he measured her wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man (which is of an angel). ¹⁸ The material of her wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation had jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, ²⁰ the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates are twelve pearls; each individual gate was composed of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. ²² I saw no sanctuary in her, because the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are her sanctuary. ²³ And the city has no need of the sun or the moon, that they should shine on her, because the very glory of God illumines her, and the Lamb is her light. ²⁴ And the nations will walk in her light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into her. ²⁵ Her gates will absolutely not be closed by day (and no night will exist there). ²⁶ And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into her. ²⁷ But anything ‘common’ or anyone perpetrating an abomination or a lie will absolutely not enter her; only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
