REVELATION
OF JESUS CHRIST
|
| 001:001
| The Revelation of
Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified
it by his angel unto his servant John:
|
| 001:002
| Who bare record of
the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all
things that he saw.
|
| 001:003
| Blessed is he that
readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep
those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
|
| 001:004
| John to the seven
churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him
which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven
Spirits which are before his throne;
|
| 001:005
| And from Jesus
Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the
dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that
loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
|
| 001:006
| And hath made us
kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and
dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
|
| 001:007
| Behold, he cometh
with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which
pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of
him. Even so, Amen.
|
| 001:008
| I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and
which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
|
| 001:009
| I John, who also am
your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and
patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos,
for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
|
| 001:010
| I was in the Spirit
on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a
trumpet,
|
| 001:011
| Saying, I am Alpha
and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in
a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia;
unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto
Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto
Laodicea.
|
| 001:012
| And I turned to see
the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden
candlesticks;
|
| 001:013
| And in the midst of
the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with
a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden
girdle.
|
| 001:014
| His head and his
hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as
a flame of fire;
|
| 001:015
| And his feet like
unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as
the sound of many waters.
|
| 001:016
| And he had in his
right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged
sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
|
| 001:017
| And when I saw him,
I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me,
saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
|
| 001:018
| I am he that liveth,
and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have
the keys of hell and of death.
|
| 001:019
| Write the things
which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things
which shall be hereafter;
|
| 001:020
| The mystery of the
seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven
golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven
churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the
seven churches.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
2
|
| 002:001
| Unto the angel of
the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth
the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the
seven golden candlesticks;
|
| 002:002
| I know thy works,
and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them
which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are
apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
|
| 002:003
| And hast borne, and
hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not
fainted.
|
| 002:004
| Nevertheless I have
somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
|
| 002:005
| Remember therefore
from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works;
or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy
candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
|
| 002:006
| But this thou hast,
that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
|
| 002:007
| He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the
midst of the paradise of God.
|
| 002:008
| And unto the angel
of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and
the last, which was dead, and is alive;
|
| 002:009
| I know thy works,
and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the
blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are
the synagogue of Satan.
|
| 002:010
| Fear none of those
things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some
of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have
tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give
thee a crown of life.
|
| 002:011
| He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
|
| 002:012
| And to the angel of
the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the
sharp sword with two edges;
|
| 002:013
| I know thy works,
and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou
holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those
days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among
you, where Satan dwelleth.
|
| 002:014
| But I have a few
things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the
doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock
before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto
idols, and to commit fornication.
|
| 002:015
| So hast thou also
them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I
hate.
|
| 002:016
| Repent; or else I
will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the
sword of my mouth.
|
| 002:017
| He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give
him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no
man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
|
| 002:018
| And unto the angel
of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of
God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are
like fine brass;
|
| 002:019
| I know thy works,
and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy
works; and the last to be more than the first.
|
| 002:020
| Notwithstanding I
have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman
Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to
seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things
sacrificed unto idols.
|
| 002:021
| And I gave her space
to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
|
| 002:022
| Behold, I will cast
her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great
tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
|
| 002:023
| And I will kill her
children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he
which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every
one of you according to your works.
|
| 002:024
| But unto you I say,
and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine,
and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I
will put upon you none other burden.
|
| 002:025
| But that which ye
have already hold fast till I come.
|
| 002:026
| And he that
overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give
power over the nations:
|
| 002:027
| And he shall rule
them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be
broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
|
| 002:028
| And I will give him
the morning star.
|
| 002:029
| He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
3
|
| 003:001
| And unto the angel
of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the
seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that
thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
|
| 003:002
| Be watchful, and
strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I
have not found thy works perfect before God.
|
| 003:003
| Remember therefore
how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If
therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief,
and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
|
| 003:004
| Thou hast a few
names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and
they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
|
| 003:005
| He that overcometh,
the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot
out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name
before my Father, and before his angels.
|
| 003:006
| He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
|
| 003:007
| And to the angel of
the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is
holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that
openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
|
| 003:008
| I know thy works:
behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut
it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and
hast not denied my name.
|
| 003:009
| Behold, I will make
them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are
not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship
before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
|
| 003:010
| Because thou hast
kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour
of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them
that dwell upon the earth.
|
| 003:011
| Behold, I come
quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown.
|
| 003:012
| Him that overcometh
will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no
more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the
name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh
down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new
name.
|
| 003:013
| He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
|
| 003:014
| And unto the angel
of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the
Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation
of God;
|
| 003:015
| I know thy works,
that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
|
| 003:016
| So then because thou
art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my
mouth.
|
| 003:017
| Because thou sayest,
I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and
blind, and naked:
|
| 003:018
| I counsel thee to
buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and
white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of
thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve,
that thou mayest see.
|
| 003:019
| As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
|
| 003:020
| Behold, I stand at
the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
|
| 003:021
| To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I
also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
|
| 003:022
| He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
4
|
| 004:001
| After this I looked,
and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice
which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which
said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be
hereafter.
|
| 004:002
| And immediately I
was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and
one sat on the throne.
|
| 004:003
| And he that sat was
to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a
rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
|
| 004:004
| And round about the
throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four
and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had
on their heads crowns of gold.
|
| 004:005
| And out of the
throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there
were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the
seven Spirits of God.
|
| 004:006
| And before the
throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the
midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts
full of eyes before and behind.
|
| 004:007
| And the first beast
was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third
beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying
eagle.
|
| 004:008
| And the four beasts
had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes
within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy,
LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
|
| 004:009
| And when those
beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the
throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
|
| 004:010
| The four and twenty
elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship
him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before
the throne, saying,
|
| 004:011
| Thou art worthy, O
Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast
created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were
created.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
5
|
| 005:001
| And I saw in the
right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and
on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
|
| 005:002
| And I saw a strong
angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the
book, and to loose the seals thereof?
|
| 005:003
| And no man in
heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open
the book, neither to look thereon.
|
| 005:004
| And I wept much,
because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book,
neither to look thereon.
|
| 005:005
| And one of the
elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of
Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to
loose the seven seals thereof.
|
| 005:006
| And I beheld, and,
lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the
midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having
seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the earth.
|
| 005:007
| And he came and took
the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
|
| 005:008
| And when he had
taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell
down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden
vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
|
| 005:009
| And they sung a new
song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the
seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by
thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and
nation;
|
| 005:010
| And hast made us
unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
|
| 005:011
| And I beheld, and I
heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the
beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand
times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
|
| 005:012
| Saying with a loud
voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and
riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and
blessing.
|
| 005:013
| And every creature
which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and
such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying,
Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
|
| 005:014
| And the four beasts
said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and
worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
6
|
| 006:001
| And I saw when the
Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of
thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
|
| 006:002
| And I saw, and
behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a
crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer.
|
| 006:003
| And when he had
opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and
see.
|
| 006:004
| And there went out
another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat
thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill
one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
|
| 006:005
| And when he had
opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.
And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a
pair of balances in his hand.
|
| 006:006
| And I heard a voice
in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a
penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt
not the oil and the wine.
|
| 006:007
| And when he had
opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say,
Come and see.
|
| 006:008
| And I looked, and
behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and
Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the
fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and
with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
|
| 006:009
| And when he had
opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them
that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which
they held:
|
| 006:010
| And they cried with
a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou
not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
|
| 006:011
| And white robes were
given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they
should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were,
should be fulfilled.
|
| 006:012
| And I beheld when he
had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became
as blood;
|
| 006:013
| And the stars of
heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
|
| 006:014
| And the heaven
departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places.
|
| 006:015
| And the kings of the
earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief
captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free
man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
|
| 006:016
| And said to the
mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him
that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
|
| 006:017
| For the great day of
his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
7
|
| 007:001
| And after these
things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the
earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should
not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
|
| 007:002
| And I saw another
angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God:
and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was
given to hurt the earth and the sea,
|
| 007:003
| Saying, Hurt not the
earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the
servants of our God in their foreheads.
|
| 007:004
| And I heard the
number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred
and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of
Israel.
|
| 007:005
| Of the tribe of Juda
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
|
| 007:006
| Of the tribe of Aser
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed
twelve thousand.
|
| 007:007
| Of the tribe of
Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed
twelve thousand.
|
| 007:008
| Of the tribe of
Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed
twelve thousand.
|
| 007:009
| After this I beheld,
and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all
nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the
throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms
in their hands;
|
| 007:010
| And cried with a
loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb.
|
| 007:011
| And all the angels
stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four
beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped
God,
|
| 007:012
| Saying, Amen:
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and
power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
|
| 007:013
| And one of the
elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed
in white robes? and whence came they?
|
| 007:014
| And I said unto him,
Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came
out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb.
|
| 007:015
| Therefore are they
before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his
temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
|
| 007:016
| They shall hunger no
more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on
them, nor any heat.
|
| 007:017
| For the Lamb which
is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them
unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
8
|
| 008:001
| And when he had
opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the
space of half an hour.
|
| 008:002
| And I saw the seven
angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven
trumpets.
|
| 008:003
| And another angel
came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was
given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the
prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the
throne.
|
| 008:004
| And the smoke of the
incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up
before God out of the angel's hand.
|
| 008:005
| And the angel took
the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into
the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings,
and an earthquake.
|
| 008:006
| And the seven angels
which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
|
| 008:007
| The first angel
sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and
they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was
burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
|
| 008:008
| And the second angel
sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was
cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
|
| 008:009
| And the third part
of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and
the third part of the ships were destroyed.
|
| 008:010
| And the third angel
sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it
were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and
upon the fountains of waters;
|
| 008:011
| And the name of the
star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became
wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made
bitter.
|
| 008:012
| And the fourth angel
sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third
part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third
part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part
of it, and the night likewise.
|
| 008:013
| And I beheld, and
heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a
loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by
reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels,
which are yet to sound!
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
9
|
| 009:001
| And the fifth angel
sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to
him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
|
| 009:002
| And he opened the
bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the
smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by
reason of the smoke of the pit.
|
| 009:003
| And there came out
of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given
power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
|
| 009:004
| And it was commanded
them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any
green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not
the seal of God in their foreheads.
|
| 009:005
| And to them it was
given that they should not kill them, but that they should be
tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a
scorpion, when he striketh a man.
|
| 009:006
| And in those days
shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to
die, and death shall flee from them.
|
| 009:007
| And the shapes of
the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on
their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were
as the faces of men.
|
| 009:008
| And they had hair as
the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
|
| 009:009
| And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of
their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to
battle.
|
| 009:010
| And they had tails
like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and
their power was to hurt men five months.
|
| 009:011
| And they had a king
over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in
the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his
name Apollyon.
|
| 009:012
| One woe is past;
and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
|
| 009:013
| And the sixth angel
sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden
altar which is before God,
|
| 009:014
| Saying to the sixth
angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound
in the great river Euphrates.
|
| 009:015
| And the four angels
were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a
month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
|
| 009:016
| And the number of
the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I
heard the number of them.
|
| 009:017
| And thus I saw the
horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having
breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads
of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths
issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
|
| 009:018
| By these three was
the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and
by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
|
| 009:019
| For their power is
in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto
serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
|
| 009:020
| And the rest of the
men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the
works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and
idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood:
which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
|
| 009:021
| Neither repented
they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their
fornication, nor of their thefts.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
10
|
| 010:001
| And I saw another
mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a
rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun,
and his feet as pillars of fire:
|
| 010:002
| And he had in his
hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea,
and his left foot on the earth,
|
| 010:003
| And cried with a
loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven
thunders uttered their voices.
|
| 010:004
| And when the seven
thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I
heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things
which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
|
| 010:005
| And the angel which
I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to
heaven,
|
| 010:006
| And sware by him
that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things
that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are,
and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should
be time no longer:
|
| 010:007
| But in the days of
the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the
mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his
servants the prophets.
|
| 010:008
| And the voice which
I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the
little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth
upon the sea and upon the earth.
|
| 010:009
| And I went unto the
angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said
unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly
bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
|
| 010:010
| And I took the
little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in
my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly
was bitter.
|
| 010:011
| And he said unto me,
Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and
tongues, and kings.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
11
|
| 011:001
| And there was given
me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and
measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship
therein.
|
| 011:002
| But the court which
is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is
given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under
foot forty and two months.
|
| 011:003
| And I will give
power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand
two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
|
| 011:004
| These are the two
olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of
the earth.
|
| 011:005
| And if any man will
hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their
enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be
killed.
|
| 011:006
| These have power to
shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and
have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the
earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
|
| 011:007
| And when they shall
have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the
bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome
them, and kill them.
|
| 011:008
| And their dead
bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was
crucified.
|
| 011:009
| And they of the
people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead
bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead
bodies to be put in graves.
|
| 011:010
| And they that dwell
upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall
send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented
them that dwelt on the earth.
|
| 011:011
| And after three days
and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and
they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which
saw them.
|
| 011:012
| And they heard a
great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they
ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
|
| 011:013
| And the same hour
was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell,
and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the
remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
|
| 011:014
| The second woe is
past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
|
| 011:015
| And the seventh
angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of
his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
|
| 011:016
| And the four and
twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon
their faces, and worshipped God,
|
| 011:017
| Saying, We give thee
thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come;
because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
|
| 011:018
| And the nations were
angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they
should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy
servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy
name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy
the earth.
|
| 011:019
| And the temple of
God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark
of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and
thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
12
|
| 012:001
| And there appeared a
great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon
under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
|
| 012:002
| And she being with
child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
|
| 012:003
| And there appeared
another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
|
| 012:004
| And his tail drew
the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the
earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be
delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
|
| 012:005
| And she brought
forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:
and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
|
| 012:006
| And the woman fled
into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that
they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore
days.
|
| 012:007
| And there was war in
heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the
dragon fought and his angels,
|
| 012:008
| And prevailed not;
neither was their place found any more in heaven.
|
| 012:009
| And the great dragon
was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him.
|
| 012:010
| And I heard a loud
voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and
the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the
accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before
our God day and night.
|
| 012:011
| And they overcame
him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death.
|
| 012:012
| Therefore rejoice,
ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of
the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you,
having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short
time.
|
| 012:013
| And when the dragon
saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which
brought forth the man child.
|
| 012:014
| And to the woman
were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the
wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and
times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
|
| 012:015
| And the serpent cast
out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might
cause her to be carried away of the flood.
|
| 012:016
| And the earth helped
the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the
flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
|
| 012:017
| And the dragon was
wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her
seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony
of Jesus Christ.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
13
|
| 013:001
| And I stood upon the
sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having
seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy.
|
| 013:002
| And the beast which
I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a
bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave
him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
|
| 013:003
| And I saw one of his
heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was
healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
|
| 013:004
| And they worshipped
the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped
the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make
war with him?
|
| 013:005
| And there was given
unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power
was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
|
| 013:006
| And he opened his
mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
|
| 013:007
| And it was given
unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and
power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
|
| 013:008
| And all that dwell
upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in
the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world.
|
| 013:009
| If any man have an
ear, let him hear.
|
| 013:010
| He that leadeth into
captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword
must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith
of the saints.
|
| 013:011
| And I beheld another
beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a
lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
|
| 013:012
| And he exerciseth
all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth
and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose
deadly wound was healed.
|
| 013:013
| And he doeth great
wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth
in the sight of men,
|
| 013:014
| And deceiveth them
that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he
had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that
dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
|
| 013:015
| And he had power to
give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed.
|
| 013:016
| And he causeth all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
|
| 013:017
| And that no man
might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name.
|
| 013:018
| Here is wisdom. Let
him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it
is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore
and six.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
14
|
| 014:001
| And I looked, and,
lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty
and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their
foreheads.
|
| 014:002
| And I heard a voice
from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a
great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their
harps:
|
| 014:003
| And they sung as it
were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and
the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and
forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
|
| 014:004
| These are they which
were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they
which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed
from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
|
| 014:005
| And in their mouth
was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne
of God.
|
| 014:006
| And I saw another
angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to
preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and
kindred, and tongue, and people,
|
| 014:007
| Saying with a loud
voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his
judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and
the sea, and the fountains of waters.
|
| 014:008
| And there followed
another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great
city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath
of her fornication.
|
| 014:009
| And the third angel
followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the
beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in
his hand,
|
| 014:010
| The same shall drink
of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in
the presence of the Lamb:
|
| 014:011
| And the smoke of
their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no
rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
|
| 014:012
| Here is the patience
of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus.
|
| 014:013
| And I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may
rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
|
| 014:014
| And I looked, and
behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son
of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp
sickle.
|
| 014:015
| And another angel
came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat
on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come
for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
|
| 014:016
| And he that sat on
the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was
reaped.
|
| 014:017
| And another angel
came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp
sickle.
|
| 014:018
| And another angel
came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with
a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy
sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth;
for her grapes are fully ripe.
|
| 014:019
| And the angel thrust
in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth,
and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
|
| 014:020
| And the winepress
was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress,
even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six
hundred furlongs.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
15
|
| 015:001
| And I saw another
sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the
seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
|
| 015:002
| And I saw as it were
a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the
victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and
over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the
harps of God.
|
| 015:003
| And they sing the
song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb,
saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty;
just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
|
| 015:004
| Who shall not fear
thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for
all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments
are made manifest.
|
| 015:005
| And after that I
looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony
in heaven was opened:
|
| 015:006
| And the seven angels
came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure
and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden
girdles.
|
| 015:007
| And one of the four
beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the
wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
|
| 015:008
| And the temple was
filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and
no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues
of the seven angels were fulfilled.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
16
|
| 016:001
| And I heard a great
voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways,
and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
|
| 016:002
| And the first went,
and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome
and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast,
and upon them which worshipped his image.
|
| 016:003
| And the second angel
poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a
dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
|
| 016:004
| And the third angel
poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and
they became blood.
|
| 016:005
| And I heard the
angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art,
and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
|
| 016:006
| For they have shed
the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood
to drink; for they are worthy.
|
| 016:007
| And I heard another
out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and
righteous are thy judgments.
|
| 016:008
| And the fourth angel
poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to
scorch men with fire.
|
| 016:009
| And men were
scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which
hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him
glory.
|
| 016:010
| And the fifth angel
poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom
was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
|
| 016:011
| And blasphemed the
God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented
not of their deeds.
|
| 016:012
| And the sixth angel
poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water
thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might
be prepared.
|
| 016:013
| And I saw three
unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon,
and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the
false prophet.
|
| 016:014
| For they are the
spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings
of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle
of that great day of God Almighty.
|
| 016:015
| Behold, I come as a
thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest
he walk naked, and they see his shame.
|
| 016:016
| And he gathered them
together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
|
| 016:017
| And the seventh
angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great
voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is
done.
|
| 016:018
| And there were
voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great
earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so
mighty an earthquake, and so great.
|
| 016:019
| And the great city
was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell:
and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her
the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
|
| 016:020
| And every island
fled away, and the mountains were not found.
|
| 016:021
| And there fell upon
men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a
talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail;
for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
17
|
| 017:001
| And there came one
of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me,
saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of
the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
|
| 017:002
| With whom the kings
of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of
the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
|
| 017:003
| So he carried me
away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon
a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven
heads and ten horns.
|
| 017:004
| And the woman was
arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full
of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
|
| 017:005
| And upon her
forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
|
| 017:006
| And I saw the woman
drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration.
|
| 017:007
| And the angel said
unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery
of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the
seven heads and ten horns.
|
| 017:008
| The beast that thou
sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless
pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and
is not, and yet is.
|
| 017:009
| And here is the mind
which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which
the woman sitteth.
|
| 017:010
| And there are seven
kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
|
| 017:011
| And the beast that
was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and
goeth into perdition.
|
| 017:012
| And the ten horns
which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as
yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
|
| 017:013
| These have one mind,
and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
|
| 017:014
| These shall make war
with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of
lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called,
and chosen, and faithful.
|
| 017:015
| And he saith unto
me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are
peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
|
| 017:016
| And the ten horns
which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and
shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and
burn her with fire.
|
| 017:017
| For God hath put in
their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
|
| 017:018
| And the woman which
thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of
the earth.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
18
|
| 018:001
| And after these
things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great
power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
|
| 018:002
| And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen,
is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of
every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
|
| 018:003
| For all nations have
drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings
of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the
merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies.
|
| 018:004
| And I heard another
voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be
not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
|
| 018:005
| For her sins have
reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
|
| 018:006
| Reward her even as
she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her
works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
|
| 018:007
| How much she hath
glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and
sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am
no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
|
| 018:008
| Therefore shall her
plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she
shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who
judgeth her.
|
| 018:009
| And the kings of the
earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with
her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the
smoke of her burning,
|
| 018:010
| Standing afar off
for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city
Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
|
| 018:011
| And the merchants of
the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their
merchandise any more:
|
| 018:012
| The merchandise of
gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine
linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and
all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most
precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
|
| 018:013
| And cinnamon, and
odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and
fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and
chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
|
| 018:014
| And the fruits that
thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which
were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find
them no more at all.
|
| 018:015
| The merchants of
these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off
for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
|
| 018:016
| And saying, Alas,
alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple,
and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and
pearls!
|
| 018:017
| For in one hour so
great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the
company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood
afar off,
|
| 018:018
| And cried when they
saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this
great city!
|
| 018:019
| And they cast dust
on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas
that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the
sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made
desolate.
|
| 018:020
| Rejoice over her,
thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath
avenged you on her.
|
| 018:021
| And a mighty angel
took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea,
saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown
down, and shall be found no more at all.
|
| 018:022
| And the voice of
harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be
heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever
craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a
millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
|
| 018:023
| And the light of a
candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the
bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:
for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy
sorceries were all nations deceived.
|
| 018:024
| And in her was found
the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain
upon the earth.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
19
|
| 019:001
| And after these
things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying,
Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the
Lord our God:
|
| 019:002
| For true and
righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore,
which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged
the blood of his servants at her hand.
|
| 019:003
| And again they said,
Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
|
| 019:004
| And the four and
twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God
that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
|
| 019:005
| And a voice came out
of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye
that fear him, both small and great.
|
| 019:006
| And I heard as it
were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many
waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia:
for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
|
| 019:007
| Let us be glad and
rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is
come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
|
| 019:008
| And to her was
granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white:
for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
|
| 019:009
| And he saith unto
me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage
supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true
sayings of God.
|
| 019:010
| And I fell at his
feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am
thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of
Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy.
|
| 019:011
| And I saw heaven
opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and
make war.
|
| 019:012
| His eyes were as a
flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name
written, that no man knew, but he himself.
|
| 019:013
| And he was clothed
with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of
God.
|
| 019:014
| And the armies which
were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine
linen, white and clean.
|
| 019:015
| And out of his mouth
goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and
he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the
winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
|
| 019:016
| And he hath on his
vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD
OF LORDS.
|
| 019:017
| And I saw an angel
standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all
the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
|
| 019:018
| That ye may eat the
flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty
men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and
the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
|
| 019:019
| And I saw the beast,
and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to
make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
|
| 019:020
| And the beast was
taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before
him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the
beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast
alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
|
| 019:021
| And the remnant were
slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword
proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with
their flesh.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
20
|
| 020:001
| And I saw an angel
come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a
great chain in his hand.
|
| 020:002
| And he laid hold on
the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and
bound him a thousand years,
|
| 020:003
| And cast him into
the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that
he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years
should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little
season.
|
| 020:004
| And I saw thrones,
and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I
saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,
and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand years.
|
| 020:005
| But the rest of the
dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This
is the first resurrection.
|
| 020:006
| Blessed and holy is
he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second
death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
|
| 020:007
| And when the
thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his
prison,
|
| 020:008
| And shall go out to
deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth,
Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of
whom is as the sand of the sea.
|
| 020:009
| And they went up on
the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints
about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of
heaven, and devoured them.
|
| 020:010
| And the devil that
deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where
the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day
and night for ever and ever.
|
| 020:011
| And I saw a great
white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth
and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
|
| 020:012
| And I saw the dead,
small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead
were judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works.
|
| 020:013
| And the sea gave up
the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the
dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according
to their works.
|
| 020:014
| And death and hell
were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
|
| 020:015
| And whosoever was
not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of
fire.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
21
|
| 021:001
| And I saw a new
heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away; and there was no more sea.
|
| 021:002
| And I John saw the
holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
|
| 021:003
| And I heard a great
voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
|
| 021:004
| And God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.
|
| 021:005
| And he that sat upon
the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto
me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
|
| 021:006
| And he said unto me,
It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I
will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of
life freely.
|
| 021:007
| He that overcometh
shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be
my son.
|
| 021:008
| But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part
in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death.
|
| 021:009
| And there came unto
me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the
seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I
will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
|
| 021:010
| And he carried me
away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me
that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from
God,
|
| 021:011
| Having the glory of
God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like
a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
|
| 021:012
| And had a wall great
and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels,
and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve
tribes of the children of Israel:
|
| 021:013
| On the east three
gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on
the west three gates.
|
| 021:014
| And the wall of the
city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve
apostles of the Lamb.
|
| 021:015
| And he that talked
with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates
thereof, and the wall thereof.
|
| 021:016
| And the city lieth
foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he
measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
|
| 021:017
| And he measured the
wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to
the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
|
| 021:018
| And the building of
the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like
unto clear glass.
|
| 021:019
| And the foundations
of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious
stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the
third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
|
| 021:020
| The fifth, sardonyx;
the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl;
the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a
jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
|
| 021:021
| And the twelve gates
were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the
street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
|
| 021:022
| And I saw no temple
therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of
it.
|
| 021:023
| And the city had no
need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the
glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
|
| 021:024
| And the nations of
them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings
of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
|
| 021:025
| And the gates of it
shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night
there.
|
| 021:026
| And they shall bring
the glory and honour of the nations into it.
|
| 021:027
| And there shall in
no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever
worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written
in the Lamb's book of life.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
22
|
| 022:001
| And he shewed me a
pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of
the throne of God and of the Lamb.
|
| 022:002
| In the midst of the
street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree
of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit
every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of
the nations.
|
| 022:003
| And there shall be
no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in
it; and his servants shall serve him:
|
| 022:004
| And they shall see
his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
|
| 022:005
| And there shall be
no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun;
for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever
and ever.
|
| 022:006
| And he said unto me,
These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy
prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which
must shortly be done.
|
| 022:007
| Behold, I come
quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of
this book.
|
| 022:008
| And I John saw these
things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down
to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these
things.
|
| 022:009
| Then saith he unto
me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy
brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this
book: worship God.
|
| 022:010
| And he saith unto
me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the
time is at hand.
|
| 022:011
| He that is unjust,
let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy
still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and
he that is holy, let him be holy still.
|
| 022:012
| And, behold, I come
quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as
his work shall be.
|
| 022:013
| I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
|
| 022:014
| Blessed are they
that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of
life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
|
| 022:015
| For without are
dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and
idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
|
| 022:016
| I Jesus have sent
mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am
the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning
star.
|
| 022:017
| And the Spirit and
the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let
him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the
water of life freely.
|
| 022:018
| For I testify unto
every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If
any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the
plagues that are written in this book:
|
| 022:019
| And if any man shall
take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall
take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy
city, and from the things which are written in this book.
|
| 022:020
| He which testifieth
these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come,
Lord Jesus.
|
| 022:021
| The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
