| 1:12 |
Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven goldgolden lampstands, |
| 1:13 |
and among the lampstands was Oneone like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe and with a goldgolden sash wrapped around Hishis chest. |
| 1:14 |
HisThe headhair andof hairhis werehead was white likeas wool — white as snow — and Hishis eyes like a fiery flame. |
| 1:15 |
His feet were like fine bronze as it is fired in a furnace, and Hishis voice like the sound of cascading waters. |
| 1:16 |
He had seven stars in Hishis right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from Hishis mouth, and Hishis face was shining like the sun at middayfull strength. |
| 1:17 |
When I saw Himhim, I fell at Hishis feet like a dead man. He laid Hishis right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid!. I am the First and the Last, |
| 1:18 |
and the Living One. I was dead, but look — I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades. |

| 4:2 |
Immediately I was in the Spirit, and athere throne was seta therethrone in heaven. Oneand someone was seated on theit. throne, |
| 4:3 |
andThe theone One seated lookedthere likehad the appearance of jasper and carnelian stone. A rainbow that lookedhad likethe appearance of an emerald surrounded the throne. |
| 4:4 |
Around thatthe throne were 24twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones sat 24twenty-four elders dressed in white clothes, with goldgolden crowns on their heads. |
| 4:5 |
Flashes of lightning and rumblings and peals of thunder came from the throne. Seven fiery torches were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. |
| 4:6 |
Something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal, was also before the throne. Four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back were inaround the middlethrone andon aroundeach the throneside. |
| 4:7 |
The first living creature was like a lion; the second living creature was like aan calfox; the third living creature had a face like a man; and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. |
| 4:8 |
Each of the four living creatures had six wings; they were covered with eyes around and inside. Day and night they never stop, saying:, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Almighty, who was, who is, and who is comingto come. |
| 4:9 |
Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the Oneone seated on the throne, the Oneone who lives forever and ever, |
| 4:10 |
the 24twenty-four elders fall down before the Oneone seated on the throne, and worship the Oneone who lives forever and ever,. They cast their crowns before the throne, and say:, |
| 4:11 |
Our Lord and God, Youyou are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because Youyou have created all things, and becauseby ofyour Your will they exist and were created. |
| 5:1 |
Then I saw in the right hand of the Oneone seated on the throne a scroll with writing on theboth inside and on the backsides, sealed with seven seals. |
| 5:2 |
I also saw a mighty angel proclaiming inwith a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” |
| 5:4 |
And I criedwept and criedwept because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or even to look in it. |
| 5:5 |
Then one of the elders said to me, “StopDo cryingnot weep. Look!, Thethe Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has beenconquered victorious so that Hehe mayis able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” |
| 5:6 |
Then I saw Oneone like a slaughtered lamb standing betweenin the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth. |
| 5:7 |
He camewent and took the scroll out of the right hand of the Oneone seated on the throne. |
| 5:8 |
When Hehe took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and goldgolden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. |
| 5:9 |
And they sang a new song: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because Youyou were slaughtered, and Youyou redeemedpurchased people for God by Youryour blood from every tribe and language and people and nation. |
| 5:12 |
They said with a loud voice:, TheWorthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing! |
| 5:13 |
I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them say:, Blessing and honor and glory and dominionpower be to the Oneone seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever! |
| 6:2 |
I looked, and there was a white horse. TheIts horsemanrider onheld it had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he went out as a victorconqueror in order to conquer. |
| 6:3 |
When Hehe opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” |
| 6:4 |
Then another horse went out, a fiery red one, and its horsemanrider was empoweredallowed to take peace from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And a large sword was given to him. |
| 6:5 |
When Hehe opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and there was a black horse. TheIts horsemanrider onheld it had a set of scales in his hand. |
| 6:6 |
Then I heard something like a voice among the four living creatures say, “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.” |
| 6:7 |
When Hehe opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” |
| 6:8 |
And I looked, and there was a pale green horse. TheIts horsemanrider on it was named Death, and Hades was following after him. AuthorityThey waswere given toauthority them over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth. |
| 6:9 |
When Hehe opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the peoplesouls of those who had been slaughtered because of God’sthe word of God and the testimony they had given. |
| 6:10 |
They cried out with a loud voice:, “Lord, the Oneone who is holy and true, how long until Youyou judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?” |
| 6:11 |
So athey whitewere robeeach was given toa eachwhite of themrobe, and they were told to rest a little while longer until the number would be completed of their fellow slavesservants and their brothers and sisters, who were going to be killed just as they had been. |
| 6:12 |
Then I saw Himhim open the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair; the entire moon became like blood; |
| 6:14 |
the sky separatedwas split apart like a scroll being rolled up; and every mountain and island was moved from its place. |
| 6:15 |
Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commandersgenerals, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. |
| 6:16 |
And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the Oneone seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, |
| 6:17 |
because the great day of Theirtheir wrath has come! And who is able to stand?” |
| 7:2 |
Then I saw another angel rising up from the east, who had the seal of the living God rise up from the east. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were empoweredallowed to harm the earth and the sea:, |
| 7:3 |
“Don’t harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we seal the slavesservants of our God on their foreheads.” |
| 7:4 |
And I heard the number of thosethe who were sealed: 144,000 sealed from every tribe of the Israelites: |
| 7:9 |
After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were robedclothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands. |
| 7:11 |
All the angels stood around the throne, and along with the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God, |
| 7:12 |
saying:, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen. |
| 7:13 |
Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these people robed in white robes, and where did they come from?” |
| 7:15 |
For this reason they are before the throne of God, and they serve Himhim day and night in Hishis sanctuarytemple. The Oneone seated on the throne will shelter them: |
| 7:16 |
They will no longer hunger; they will no longer thirst; the sun will no longer strike them, nor will any scorching heat. |
| 7:17 |
For the Lamb who is at the center of the throne will shepherd them; Hehe will guide them to springs of livingthe waters of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. |
| 8:1 |
When Hehe opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. |
| 8:3 |
Another angel, with a goldgolden incense burner, came and stood at the altar. He was given a large amount of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the goldgolden altar in front of the throne. |
| 8:5 |
The angel took the incense burner, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; there were rumblingspeals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. |
| 8:12 |
The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night. as well. |
| 8:13 |
I looked again and heard an eagle flying high overhead, crying out in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to sound!” |
| 9:1 |
The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth. The key tofor the shaft ofto the abyss was given to him. |
| 9:2 |
He opened the shaft ofto the abyss, and smoke came up out of the shaft like smoke from a great furnace so that the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft. |
| 9:4 |
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green plant, or any tree, but only those people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads. |
| 9:5 |
They were not permitted to kill them but were to torment them for five months; their torment is like the torment caused by a scorpion when it strikesstings a mansomeone. |
| 9:7 |
The appearance of the locusts was like horses equippedprepared for battle. Something like goldgolden crowns was on their heads; their faces were like men’shuman faces; |
| 9:9 |
they had chests like iron breastplates; the sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots with many horses rushing into battle; |
| 9:13 |
The sixth angel blew his trumpet. From the four horns of the goldgolden altar that is before God, I heard a voice |
| 9:16 |
The number of mounted troops was 200two hundred million; I heard their number. |
| 9:17 |
This is how I saw the horses and their riders in mythe vision: TheThey horsemen had breastplates that were fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like lions’the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur. |
| 9:18 |
A third of the human race was killed by these three plagues — by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came from their mouths. |
| 9:19 |
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, forbecause their tails, which resemble snakes, have heads, andthat they inflict injury. with them. |
| 9:20 |
The rest of the people, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands to stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which arecannot not able to see, hear, or walk. |
| 10:1 |
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surroundedwrapped byin a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face was like the sun, his legs were like fierypillars pillarsof fire, |
| 10:2 |
and he hadheld a little scroll opened in his hand. He put his right foot on the sea, his left on the land, |
| 10:3 |
and he criedcalled out with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he cried out, the seven thunders spokeraised with their voices. |
| 10:4 |
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write., Thenbut I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down!” |
| 10:6 |
He swore an oath by the Oneone who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it:, “There will no longer be ana interval of timedelay, |
| 10:7 |
but in the days ofwhen the sound of the seventh angel, when he will blow his trumpet, then God’sthe hiddenmystery planof God will be completed, as Hehe announced to Hishis servants the prophets.” |
| 10:8 |
NowThen the voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” |
| 10:11 |
And Ithey wassaid toldto me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.” |
| 11:1 |
Then I was given a measuring reed like a rod, with these words: “Go and measure the temple of God’s sanctuary and the altar, and count those who worship there. |
| 11:2 |
But exclude the courtyard outside the sanctuarytemple. Don’t measure it, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42forty-two months. |
| 11:3 |
I will empowergrant my two witnesses, andauthority theyto will prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.” |
| 11:6 |
TheseThey men have theauthority power to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the days of their prophecy. They also have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every plague whenever they want. |
| 11:7 |
When they finish their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war withon them, conquer them, and kill them. |
| 11:8 |
Their dead bodies will lie in the publicmain squarestreet of the great city, which propheticallyfiguratively is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. |
| 11:9 |
And representativessome fromof the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will view their bodies for three and a half days and not permit their bodies to be put into a tomb. |
| 11:10 |
Those who live on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send gifts to one another because these two prophets broughthad judgmenttormented to those who live on the earth. |
| 11:11 |
But after 3½three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet. SoGreat great fear fell on those who saw them. |
| 11:13 |
At that moment a violent earthquake took place, a tenth of the city fell, and 7,000seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake. The survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. |
| 11:14 |
The second woe has passed. Take note: The third woe is coming quicklysoon! |
| 11:15 |
The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of Hishis MessiahChrist, and Hehe will reign forever and ever!. |
| 11:16 |
The 24twenty-four elders, who were seated before God on their thrones, fell facedown and worshiped God, |
| 11:17 |
saying:, We thankgive Youyou thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, who is and who was, because Youyou have taken Youryour great power and have begun to reign. |
| 11:18 |
The nations were angry, but Youryour wrath has come. The time has come for the dead to be judged and to give the reward to Youryour servants the prophets, to the saints, and to those who fear Youryour name, both small and great, and the time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth. |
| 11:19 |
Then the temple of God’s sanctuary in heaven was opened, and the ark of Hishis covenant appeared in Hishis sanctuarytemple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and severe hail. |
| 12:1 |
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of 12twelve stars on her head. |
| 12:3 |
Then another sign appeared in heaven: There was a great fiery red dragon having seven heads and 10ten horns, and on hisits heads were seven diademscrowns. |
| 12:4 |
HisIts tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. And the dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she did give birth heit might devour her child. |
| 12:5 |
ButShe she gave birth to a Son—, a male who is going to shepherdrule all nations with an iron scepter—androd. herHer child was caught up to God and to Hishis throne. |
| 12:6 |
The woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, to be fednourished there for 1,260 days. |
| 12:9 |
So the great dragon was thrown out — the ancient serpent, who is called the Devildevil and Satan, the one who deceives the whole world. He was thrown to earth, and his angels with him. |
| 12:10 |
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:, The salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of Hishis MessiahChrist have now come, because the accuser of our brothers hasand beensisters, thrown out: the one who accuses them before our God day and night, has been thrown down. |
| 12:11 |
They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,; for they did not love their lives into the facepoint of death. |
| 12:12 |
Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, forbecause the Devildevil has come down to you with great fury, because he knows hehis hastime ais short. time. |
| 12:13 |
When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gavehad given birth to the male child. |
| 12:14 |
The woman was given two wings of a great eagle, so that she could fly from the serpent’s presence to her place in the wilderness, where she was fednourished for a time, times, and half a time. |
| 12:15 |
From his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river flowing after the woman, to sweep her away inwith a torrentflood. |
| 12:17 |
So the dragon was furious with the woman and leftwent off to wage war against the rest of her offspring — those who keep God’sthe commands of God and havehold firmly to the testimony about Jesus. |
| 12:18 |
HeThe dragon stood on the sand of the sea. |
| 13:1 |
And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. HeIt had 10ten horns and seven heads. On hisits horns were 10ten diademscrowns, and on hisits heads were blasphemous names. |
| 13:2 |
The beast I saw was like a leopard, hisits feet were like a bear’s, and hisits mouth was like a lion’s mouth. The dragon gave himthe beast his power, his throne, and great authority. |
| 13:3 |
One of hisits heads appeared to be fatally wounded, but hisits fatal wound was healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast. |
| 13:4 |
They worshiped the dragon because he gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to wage war against himit?” |
| 13:5 |
AThe mouthbeast was given toa himmouth to speakutter boasts and blasphemies. HeIt was alsoallowed givento exercise authority to act for 42forty-two months. |
| 13:6 |
HeIt began to speak blasphemies against God: to blaspheme Hishis name and Hishis dwelling — those who dwell in heaven. |
| 13:7 |
And heit was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. HeIt was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. |
| 13:8 |
All those who live on the earth will worship himit, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered. |
| 13:9 |
If anyone has anears earto hear, helet shouldhim listen:. |
| 13:10 |
If anyone is destinedto forbe captivitytaken captive, into captivity he goes. If anyone is to be killed with a sword, with a sword he will be killed. This demandscalls thefor perseveranceendurance and faithfaithfulness offrom the saints. |
| 13:11 |
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; heit had two horns like a lamb, but heit soundedspoke like a dragon. |
| 13:12 |
HeIt exercises all the authority of the first beast on hisits behalf and compels the earth and those who live on it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. |
| 13:13 |
HeIt also performs great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in front of people. |
| 13:14 |
HeIt deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that heit is permitted to perform onin behalfthe presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image of the beast who hadwas wounded by the sword wound and yet lived. |
| 13:15 |
HeIt was permitted to give abreath spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. |
| 13:16 |
And heit requiresmakes everyone — small and great, rich and poor, free and slave — to bereceive given a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, |
| 13:17 |
so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast’s name or the number of hisits name. |
| 13:18 |
HereThis iscalls for wisdom: TheLet the one who has understanding must calculate the number of the beast, because it is the number of a manperson. HisIts number is 666. |
| 14:1 |
Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with Himhim were 144,000 who had Hishis name and Hishis Father’s name written on their foreheads. |
| 14:2 |
I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of cascading waters and like the rumbling of loud thunder. The sound I heard was also like harpists playing on their harps. |
| 14:4 |
These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, forsince they haveremained kept their virginityvirgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever Hehe goes. They were redeemed from thehumanity human race as the firstfruits for God and the Lamb. |
| 14:6 |
Then I saw another angel flying high overhead, havingwith the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth — to every nation, tribe, language, and people. |
| 14:7 |
He spoke with a loud voice: “Fear God and give Himhim glory, because the hour of Hishis judgment has come. Worship the Makerone ofwho made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” |
| 14:8 |
AAnd another, a second angel, followed, saying:, “It has fallen, Babylon the Great has fallen,. whoShe made all the nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality, which brings wrath.” |
| 14:9 |
And another, a third angel, followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and hisits image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, |
| 14:10 |
he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is mixedpoured full strength ininto the cup of Hishis anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, |
| 14:11 |
and the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and hisits image, or anyone who receives the mark of hisits name. |
| 14:12 |
This demandscalls thefor perseveranceendurance offrom the saints, who keep God’s commands and their faith in Jesus.” |
| 14:13 |
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write: TheBlessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on are blessed.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “letso themthey will rest from their labors, forsince their works follow them!”.” |
| 14:14 |
Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and Oneone like the Son of Man was seated on the cloud, with a goldgolden crown on Hishis head and a sharp sickle in Hishis hand. |
| 14:15 |
Another angel came out of the sanctuarytemple, crying out in a loud voice to the Oneone who was seated on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come, since the harvest of the earth is ripe.” |
| 14:16 |
So the Oneone seated on the cloud swung Hishis sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. |
| 14:17 |
Then another angel who also had a sharp sickle came out of the sanctuarytemple in heaven. |
| 14:18 |
Yet another angel, who had authority over fire, came from the altar, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from earth’sthe vineyard of the earth, because its grapes have ripened.” |
| 14:19 |
So the angel swung his sickle towardat the earth and gathered the grapes from earth’sthe vineyard of the earth, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. |
| 15:1 |
Then I saw another great and awe-inspiring sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven last plagues,; for with them, God’s wrath will be completed. |
| 15:2 |
I also saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, hisits image, and the number of hisits name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God. |
| 15:3 |
They sang the song of God’s servant Moses and the song of the Lamb: Great and awe-inspiring are Youryour works, Lord God, the Almighty; righteousjust and true are Youryour ways, King of the Nationsnations. |
| 15:4 |
Lord, who will not fear and glorify Youryour name? BecauseFor Youyou alone are holy,. forAll all the nations will come and worship before Youyou because Youryour righteous acts have been revealed. |
| 15:5 |
After this I looked, and the heavenly sanctuarytemple — the tabernacle of testimony — was opened. |
| 15:6 |
Out of the sanctuarytemple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in cleanpure, bright linen, with goldgolden sashes wrapped around their chests. |
| 15:7 |
One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven goldgolden bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. |
| 15:8 |
Then the sanctuarytemple was filled with smoke from God’sthe glory of God and from Hishis power, and no one could enter the sanctuarytemple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. |
| 16:1 |
Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuarytemple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.” |
| 16:2 |
The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped hisits image. |
| 16:3 |
The second poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like that of a dead man’sperson, and all life in the sea died. |
| 16:5 |
I heard the angel of the waters say:, You are righteousjust, the Holy One, who is and who was, thebecause Holyyou One,have forpassed Youjudgment haveon decided these things. |
| 16:6 |
Because they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, Youyou alsohave gavegiven them blood to drink; they deserve it! |
| 16:7 |
Then I heard someone from the altar say:, Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteousjust are Youryour judgments. |
| 16:8 |
The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun. HeIt was givenallowed the power to burnscorch people with fire, |
| 16:9 |
and people were burnedscorched by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God, who hadhas the power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give Himhim glory. |
| 16:10 |
The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and hisits kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues because of their pain |
| 16:11 |
and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, yetbut they did not repent of their actionsworks. |
| 16:14 |
For they are demonic spirits of demons performing signs, who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them for the battle ofon the great day of God, the Almighty. |
| 16:15 |
“Look, I am coming like a thief. TheBlessed is the one who is alert and remains clothed so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame.” is blessed.” |
| 16:16 |
So they assembled themthe kings at the place called in Hebrew, ArmagedonArmageddon. |
| 16:17 |
Then the seventh poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the sanctuarytemple from the throne, saying, “It is done!” |
| 16:18 |
There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and rumblingspeals of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since manpeople hashave been on the earth—, so great was the quake. |
| 16:19 |
The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; Hehe gave her the cup filled with the wine of Hishis fierce anger. |
| 16:21 |
Enormous hailstones, each weighing about 100a hundred pounds, fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe. |
| 17:1 |
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me: “Come, I will show you the judgment of the notorious prostitute who sitsis seated on many waters. |
| 17:3 |
SoThen he carried me away in the Spirit to a desertwilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and 10ten horns. |
| 17:4 |
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stonesjewels, and pearls. She had a goldgolden cup in her hand filled with everything viledetestable and with the impurities of her prostitution. |
| 17:5 |
On her forehead was written a cryptic name, wasa writtenmystery: BABYLONBabylon THEthe GREATGreat, THEthe MOTHERMother OFof PROSTITUTESProstitutes ANDand OFof THEthe VILEDetestable THINGSThings OFof THEthe EARTHEarth. |
| 17:6 |
Then I saw that the woman was drunk onwith the blood of the saints and onwith the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. |
| 17:7 |
Then the angel said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will tellexplain to you the secretmystery meaning of the woman and of the beast, with the seven heads and the 10ten horns, that carries her. |
| 17:8 |
The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up from the abyss and go to destruction. Those who live on the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast that was, and is not, and willis beto presentcome. again. |
| 17:9 |
“HereThis iscalls thefor a mind withthat has wisdom:. “The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated. They are also seven kings: |
| 17:10 |
They are also seven kings: Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes, he must remain for only a little while. |
| 17:11 |
The beast that was and is not, is himselfitself an eighth king, yetbut heit belongs to the seven and is going to destruction. |
| 17:12 |
The 10ten horns you saw are 10ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. |
| 17:14 |
These will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them because Hehe is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those with Himhim are called, chosen, and faithful.” |
| 17:16 |
The 10ten horns you saw, and the beast, will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, devour her flesh, and burn her up with fire. |
| 17:17 |
For God has put it into their hearts to carry out Hishis plan by having one purpose and to give their kingdom to the beast until God’sthe words of God are accomplishedfulfilled. |
| 17:18 |
And the woman you saw is the great city that has anroyal empirepower over the kings of the earth.” |
| 18:2 |
He criedcalled out in a mighty voice: It has fallen, Babylon the Great has fallen! She has become a dwellinghome for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, and a haunt for every unclean and despicable beast. |
| 18:3 |
For all the nations have drunk the wine of her sexual immorality, which brings wrath. The kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from her excessivesensuality luxuryand excess. |
| 18:4 |
Then I heard another voice from heaven: Come out of her, Mymy people, so that you will not share in her sins or receive any of her plagues. |
| 18:7 |
As much as she glorified herself and livedindulged luxuriouslyher sensual and excessive ways, give her that much torment and grief,. forFor she says in her heart, “I sit as a queen; I am not a widow, and I will never see grief.” |
| 18:8 |
For this reason her plagues will come in just one day — death and grief and famine. She will be burned up with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is mighty. |
| 18:9 |
The kings of the earth who have committed sexual immorality and livedshared luxuriouslyher withsensual herand excessive ways will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke offrom her burning. |
| 18:10 |
They will stand far off in fear of her torment, saying:, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in a single hour your judgment has come. |
| 18:11 |
The merchants of the earth will also weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their merchandisecargo any longer — |
| 18:12 |
merchandisecargo of gold, silver, precious stonesjewels, and pearls; fine fabrics of linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; all kinds of fragrant wood products; objects of ivory; objects of expensive wood, brass, iron, and marble; |
| 18:13 |
cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine, olive oil, fine wheat flour, and grain; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and slaves and— human lives. |
| 18:16 |
saying:, Woe, woe, the great city, dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stonesjewels, and pearls,; |
| 18:18 |
as they watched the smoke from her burning and kept crying out:, “Who iswas like the great city?” |
| 18:19 |
They threw dust on their heads and kept crying out, weeping, and mourning:, Woe, woe, the great city, where all those who have ships on the sea became rich from her wealth,; for in a single hour she was destroyed. |
| 18:20 |
Rejoice over her, heaven, and you saints, apostles, and prophets, because God has executedpronounced youron her the judgment she passed on heryou! |
| 18:21 |
Then a mighty angel picked up a stone like a large millstone and threw it into the sea, saying:, In this way, Babylon the great city will be thrown down violently and never be found again. |
| 18:23 |
the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the voice of a groom and bride will never be heard in you again. All this will happen because your merchants were the nobility of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery,. |
| 18:24 |
andIn her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all those slaughtered on the earth, was found in you. |
| 19:1 |
After this I heard something like the loud voice of a vast multitude in heaven, saying:, Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God, |
| 19:2 |
because Hishis judgments are true and righteous, because Hehe has judged the notorious prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality; and Hehe has avenged the blood of Hishis slavesservants that was on her hands. |
| 19:3 |
A second time they said:, Hallelujah! Her smoke ascends forever and ever! |
| 19:4 |
Then the 24twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who is seated on the throne, saying:, Amen! Hallelujah! |
| 19:5 |
A voice came from the throne, saying:, Praise our God, all Hishis slavesservants, and the ones who fear Himhim, both small and great! |
| 19:6 |
Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters, and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying:, Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty, hasreigns! begun to reign! |
| 19:7 |
Let us be glad, rejoice, and give Himhim glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and Hishis wifebride has prepared herself. |
| 19:9 |
Then he said to me, “Write: ThoseBlessed are those invited to the marriage feast of the Lamb are fortunate!” He also said to me, “These words of God are true.” |
| 19:10 |
Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow slaveservant with you and your brothers and sisters who havehold firmly to the testimony aboutof Jesus. Worship God, because the testimony aboutof Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” |
| 19:11 |
Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True, and Hewith justice he judges and makes war in righteousness. |
| 19:12 |
His eyes were like a fiery flame, and many crowns were on Hishis head. He had a name written that no one knows except Himselfhimself. |
| 19:13 |
He wore a robe staineddipped within blood, and Hishis name is called the Word of God. |
| 19:14 |
The armies that were in heaven followed Himhim on white horses, wearing pure white linen. |
| 19:15 |
A sharp sword came from Hishis mouth, so that Hehe might strike the nations with it. He will shepherdrule them with an iron scepterrod. He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty. |
| 19:16 |
And Hehe has a name written on Hishis robe and on Hishis thigh: KINGKing OFof KINGSKings ANDand LORDLord OFof LORDSLords. |
| 19:17 |
Then I saw an angel standing onin the sun, and he criedcalled out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying high overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, |
| 19:18 |
so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of military commanders, the flesh of the mighty men, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great.” |
| 19:19 |
Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and against Hishis army. |
| 19:20 |
But the beast was taken prisoner, and along with himit the false prophet, who had performed the signs in hisits presence. He deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and those who worshiped hisits image with these signs. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. |
| 19:21 |
The rest were killed with the sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds wereate filledtheir withfill of their flesh. |
| 20:1 |
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven withholding the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand. |
| 20:2 |
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the Devildevil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000a thousand years. |
| 20:3 |
He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it so that he would no longer deceive the nations until the 1,000thousand years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time. |
| 20:4 |
Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge. I also saw the peoplesouls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of God’sthe word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with theChrist Messiah for 1,000a thousand years. |
| 20:5 |
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. |
| 20:6 |
Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of the MessiahChrist, and they will reign with Himhim for 1,000a thousand years. |
| 20:7 |
When the 1,000thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison |
| 20:9 |
They came up overacross the surfacebreadth of the earth and surrounded the encampment of the saints, the beloved city. Then fire came down from heaven and consumed them. |
| 20:10 |
The Devildevil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. |
| 20:11 |
Then I saw a great white throne and Oneone seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from Hishis presence, and no place was found for them. |
| 20:13 |
Then the sea gave up itsthe dead that were in it, and Deathdeath and Hades gave up theirthe dead; allthat were in them; each one was judged according to their works. |
| 20:15 |
And anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. |
| 21:1 |
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer existedmore. |
| 21:2 |
I also saw the Holyholy Citycity, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. |
| 21:3 |
Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: Look!, God’s dwelling is with humanity, and Hehe will live with them. They will be Hishis peoplepeoples, and God Himselfhimself will be with them and will be their God. |
| 21:4 |
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no longer existmore; grief, crying, and pain will existbe no longermore, because the previous things have passed away. |
| 21:5 |
Then the Oneone seated on the throne said, “Look!, I am making everything new.” He also said, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.” |
| 21:6 |
AndThen Hehe said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginningbeginning and the Endend. I will freely give water as a gift to the thirsty from the spring of the water of life. |
| 21:7 |
The victorone who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be Mymy son. |
| 21:8 |
But the cowards, unbelieversfaithless, viledetestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars — their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” |
| 21:10 |
He then carried me away in the Spirit to a great, and high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, |
| 21:11 |
arrayed with God’s glory. Her radiance was like a very precious stonejewel, like a jasper stone, brightclear as crystal. |
| 21:12 |
The city had a massive high wall, with 12twelve gates. Twelve angels were at the gates; the names of the 12twelve tribes of Israel’s sons were inscribed on the gates. |
| 21:14 |
The city wall had 12twelve foundations, and the 12twelve names of the Lamb’stwelve 12 apostles of the Lamb were on the foundations. |
| 21:15 |
The one who spoke with me had a goldgolden measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. |
| 21:18 |
The building material of its wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold like clear as glass. |
| 21:19 |
The foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stonejewel: the first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, |
| 21:21 |
The 12twelve gates are 12twelve pearls; each individual gate was made of a single pearl. The broadmain street of the city was pure gold, like transparent as glass. |
| 21:22 |
I did not see a sanctuarytemple in it, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its sanctuarytemple. |
| 21:23 |
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God’sthe glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb. |
| 21:24 |
The nations will walk inby its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. |
| 21:25 |
EachIts day its gates will never close by day because it will never be night there. |
| 21:27 |
Nothing profaneunclean will ever enter it:, nonor oneanyone who does what is viledetestable or false, but only those written in the Lamb’s book of life. |
| 22:1 |
Then he showed me the river of livingthe water of life, sparklingclear likeas crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb |
| 22:2 |
down the middle of the broadcity’s main street of the city. The tree of life was on botheach sidesside of the river, bearing 12twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations, |
| 22:3 |
and there will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and Hishis slavesservants will serveworship Himhim. |
| 22:4 |
They will see Hishis face, and Hishis name will be on their foreheads. |
| 22:5 |
Night will be no longermore; exist, and people will not need lamplightthe light of a lamp or sunlightthe light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light., Andand they will reign forever and ever. |
| 22:6 |
Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true. AndThe the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent Hishis angel to show Hishis slavesservants what must quicklysoon take place.” |
| 22:7 |
“Look, I am coming quicklysoon! TheBlessed is the one who keeps the prophetic words of the prophecy of this book.” is blessed.” |
| 22:9 |
But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow slaveservant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”!” |
| 22:10 |
HeThen alsohe said to me, “Don’t seal up the prophetic words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. |
| 22:11 |
Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy gostill onbe being made filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; and let the holy gostill onbe being made holy.” |
| 22:12 |
“Look!, I am coming quicklysoon, and Mymy reward is with Meme to repay each person according to whathis he has donework. |
| 22:13 |
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Firstfirst and the Lastlast, the Beginningbeginning and the Endend. |
| 22:14 |
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. |
| 22:15 |
Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lyingfalsehood. |
| 22:16 |
“I, Jesus, have sent Mymy angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and thedescendant Offspring of David, the Brightbright Morningmorning Starstar.” |
| 22:17 |
Both the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” AnyoneLet anyone who hears, should say, “Come!” AndLet the one who is thirsty should come. WhoeverLet the one who desires should take the living water asof alife giftfreely. |
| 22:18 |
I testify to everyone who hears the prophetic words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book. |
| 22:19 |
And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophetic bookprophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, which are written about in this book. |
| 22:20 |
