[1]
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:
[2] Who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he saw.
[3] 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.
[4]
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;
[5] 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,
[6]
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9] 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.
[10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and
heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
[11]
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.
[12]
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I
saw seven golden candlesticks;
[13] 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.
[14] His head and his hairs were white like wool,
as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
[15]
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;
and his voice as the sound of many waters.
[16] 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.
[17] 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:
[18] 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.
[19]
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the
things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
[20]
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.
[1]
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;
[2]
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:
[3] And hast
borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and
hast not fainted.
[4] Nevertheless
I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first
love.
[5] 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.
[6] But
this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which
I also hate.
[7] 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.
[8] And
unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the
first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
[9]
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.
[10]
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.
[11]
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.
[12] And
to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he
which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
[13] 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.
[14]
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.
[15]
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine
of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
[16]
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against
them with the sword of my mouth.
[17] 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.
[18]
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;
[19]
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.
[20] 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.
[21] And I gave her
space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
[22]
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery
with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their
deeds.
[23] 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.
[24] 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.
[25]
But that which ye have already hold fast till I
come.
[26] And he that
overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give
power over the nations:
[27] 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.
[28] And I will give
him the morning star.
[29] He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
[1]
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.
[2] Be
watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to
die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
[3]
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.
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[6] He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
[7] 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;
[8]
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.
[9]
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.
[10] 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.
[11] Behold,
I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown.
[12] 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.
[13] He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
[14]
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;
[15]
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold
nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
[16] So
then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue
thee out of my mouth.
[17] 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:
[18] 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.
[19] As
many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent.
[20] 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.
[21]
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.
[22] He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
[1]
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.
[2] And
immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in
heaven, and one sat on the throne.
[3] 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.
[4]
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.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9]
And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that
sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
[10] 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,
[11] 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.
[1]
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.
[2]
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy
to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
[3] And
no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to
open the book, neither to look thereon.
[4] And I wept
much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book,
neither to look thereon.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7]
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat
upon the throne.
[8] 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.
[9] 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;
[10]
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign
on the earth.
[11] 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;
[12] 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.
[13] 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.
[14]
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell
down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
[1]
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.
[2] 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.
[3] And when he had
opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and
see.
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[6]
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.
[7] And when he had
opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say,
Come and see.
[8] 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.
[9] 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:
[10] 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?
[11] 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.
[12]
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;
[13] 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.
[14] And the heaven
departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain
and island were moved out of their places.
[15] 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;
[16] 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:
[17] For the great day of
his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
[1]
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.
[2]
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,
[3]
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we
have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
[4]
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.
[5] 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.
[6]
Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were
sealed twelve thousand.
[7] 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.
[8]
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.
[9] 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;
[10] And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation
to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
[11]
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,
[12] Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and
wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto
our God for ever and ever. Amen.
[13] And one of the elders
answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white
robes? and whence came they?
[14] 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.
[15] 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.
[16]
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the
sun light on them, nor any heat.
[17] 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.
[1]
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven
about the space of half an hour.
[2] And I saw the seven
angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven
trumpets.
[3] 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.
[4] And the
smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
[5] 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.
[6] And the seven angels
which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
[7]
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.
[8]
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;
[9] 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.
[10] 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;
[11]
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.
[12] 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.
[13] 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!
[1]
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.
[2]
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.
[3] 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.
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[6] And in those
days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to
die, and death shall flee from them.
[7] 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.
[8] And they had hair as the hair of women,
and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
[9] 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.
[10] And they had tails like unto scorpions, and
there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men
five months.
[11] 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.
[12]
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more
hereafter.
[13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a
voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before
God,
[14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river
Euphrates.
[15] 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.
[16] And the number of the army of
the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the
number of them.
[17] 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.
[18] 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.
[19] 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.
[20]
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:
[21]
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor
of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
[1]
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:
[2] 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,
[3] And cried with a loud
voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders
uttered their voices.
[4] 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.
[5] And the angel which I saw
stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to
heaven,
[6] 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:
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9] 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.
[10] 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.
[11]
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples,
and nations, and tongues, and kings.
[1]
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.
[2] 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.
[3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses,
and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.
[4] These are the two olive trees,
and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
[5]
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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9] 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.
[10] 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.
[11] 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.
[12]
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.
[13] 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.
[14] The
second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
[15]
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.
[16]
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats,
fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
[17] 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.
[18] 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.
[19] 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.
[1]
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:
[2] And she being with child cried, travailing in
birth, and pained to be delivered.
[3] 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.
[4]
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.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7]
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against
the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
[8] And
prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9]
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.
[10]
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.
[11] 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.
[12] 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.
[13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto
the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man
child.
[14] 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.
[15] 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.
[16] 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.
[17] 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.
[1]
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.
[2] 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.
[3]
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.
[4] 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?
[5] 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.
[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against
God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell
in heaven.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9]
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
[10] 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.
[11] 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.
[12] 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.
[13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh
fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
[14]
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.
[15]
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.
[16]
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:
[17] 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.
[18] 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.
[1]
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.
[2] 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:
[3]
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.
[4] 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.
[5] And in their
mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the
throne of God.
[6] 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,
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9]
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,
[10] 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:
[11] 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.
[12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
[13]
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.
[14] 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.
[15]
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.
[16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his
sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
[17] And
another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also
having a sharp sickle.
[18] 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.
[19] 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.
[20] 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.
[1]
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.
[2] 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.
[3] 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.
[4] 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.
[5] And after that I looked, and,
behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was
opened:
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[1]
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.
[2] 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.
[3] 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.
[4] And the third angel poured
out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became
blood.
[5] 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.
[6] For they have shed the blood of
saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for
they are worthy.
[7] And I heard another out of the altar
say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy
judgments.
[8] And the fourth angel poured out his vial
upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with
fire.
[9] 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.
[10] 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,
[11]
And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their
sores, and repented not of their deeds.
[12] 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.
[13] 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.
[14]
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.
[15] Behold,
I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
[16]
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon.
[17] 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.
[18] 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.
[19] 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.
[20] And
every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
[21]
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.
[1]
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:
[2]
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.
[3] 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.
[4]
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:
[5]
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
[6]
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.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven
heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
[10]
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.
[11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is
the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
[12]
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.
[13] These have one mind, and shall give their
power and strength unto the beast.
[14] 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.
[15] And he saith unto me, The
waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
[16] 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.
[17] 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.
[18] And
the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over
the kings of the earth.
[1]
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven,
having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
[2]
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.
[3] 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.
[4] 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.
[5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God
hath remembered her iniquities.
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8]
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.
[9] 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,
[10] 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.
[11] And the
merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man
buyeth their merchandise any more:
[12] 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,
[13] 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.
[14] 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.
[15] The merchants of these
things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the
fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
[16] 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!
[17] 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,
[18]
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city
is like unto this great city!
[19] 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.
[20]
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for
God hath avenged you on her.
[21] 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.
[22] 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;
[23] 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.
[24] And in her was
found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were
slain upon the earth.
[1]
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:
[2] 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.
[3] And again they said,
Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
[4] And
the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and
worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
[5]
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.
[6]
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.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9]
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.
[10] 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.
[11]
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.
[12] 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.
[13] And he was clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
[14]
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
[15] 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.
[16]
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
[17] 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;
[18] 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.
[19]
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.
[20] 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.
[21] 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.
[1]
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he
laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and
Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
[3] 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.
[4] 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.
[5] But the rest of
the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This
is the first resurrection.
[6] 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.
[7] And when the thousand
years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8]
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.
[9]
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.
[10] 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.
[11] 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.
[12]
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.
[13] 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.
[14] And death and hell were cast into the
lake of fire. This is the second death.
[15] And whosoever
was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of
fire.
[1]
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.
[2]
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out
of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
[3]
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.
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7]
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God,
and he shall be my son.
[8] 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.
[9] 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.
[10] 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,
[11] Having the glory of
God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a
jasper stone, clear as crystal;
[12] 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:
[13] On the east three gates; on
the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west
three gates.
[14] And the wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the
Lamb.
[15] And he that talked with me had a golden reed to
measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
[16]
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.
[17] 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.
[18] And the building of the wall of it
was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear
glass.
[19] 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;
[20] The fifth, sardonyx; the
sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the
ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth;
the twelfth, an amethyst.
[21] 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.
[22]
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb
are the temple of it.
[23] 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.
[24] 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.
[25]
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall
be no night there.
[26] And they shall bring the glory and
honour of the nations into it.
[27] 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.
[1]
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.
[2]
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.
[3]
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:
[4]
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
foreheads.
[5]
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.
[6]
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.
[7]
Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he
that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
[8]
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.
[9]
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.
[10]
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand.
[11]
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.
[12]
And, behold, I come quickly; and my
reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall
be.
[13]
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end, the first and the last.
[14]
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.
[15]
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,
and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
[16]
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.
[17]
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.
[18]
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:
[19]
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.
[20]
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely
I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come,
Lord Jesus.
[21] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you all. Amen.
