Jude
1:1Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to those of God's selection who have been made holy by God the Father and are kept safe for Jesus Christ:
Revelation
1:1The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John; 1:2Who gave witness of the word of God, and of the witness of Jesus Christ, even of all the things which he saw. 1:3A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near. 1:4John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat; 1:5And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood; 1:6And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it. 1:7See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it. 1:8I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all. 1:9I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus. 1:10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears, 1:11Saying, What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea. 1:12And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them; 1:13And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts. 1:14And his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 1:15And his feet like polished brass, as if it had been burned in a fire; and his voice was as the sound of great waters. 1:16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining in its strength. 1:17And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one; 1:18And I was dead, and see, I am living for ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hell. 1:19Put in writing, then, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will be after these; 1:20The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches.
2:1To the angel of the church in Ephesus say: These things says he who has the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the middle of the seven gold lights: 2:2I have knowledge of your doings, and of your hard work and long waiting, and that you will not put up with evil men, and have put to the test those who say they are Apostles and are not, and have seen that they are false; 2:3And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness. 2:4But I have this against you, that you are turned away from your first love. 2:5So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed. 2:6But at least you have the credit of hating the works of the Nicolaitans, as I do. 2:7He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God. 2:8And to the angel of the church in Smyrna say: These things says the first and the last, who was dead and is living: 2:9I have knowledge of your troubles and how poor you are (but you have true wealth), and the evil words of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan. 2:10Have no fear of the things which you will have to undergo: see, the Evil One will send some of you into prison, so that you may be put to the test; and you will have great trouble for ten days. Be true till death, and I will give you the crown of life. 2:11He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death. 2:12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos say: These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword: 2:13I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place. 2:14But I have some things against you, because you have with you those who keep the teaching of Balaam, by whose suggestion Balak made the children of Israel go out of the right way, taking food which was offered to false gods, and going after the desires of the flesh. 2:15And you have those who keep the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 2:16See, then, that you have a change of heart; or I will come to you quickly, and will make war against them with the sword of my mouth. 2:17He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given. 2:18And to the angel of the church in Thyatira say: These things says the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire, and his feet like polished brass: 2:19I have knowledge of your works, and your love and faith and help and strength in trouble, and that your last works are more than the first. 2:20But I have this against you, that you let the woman Jezebel say she is a prophet and give false teaching, making my servants go after the desires of the flesh and take food offered to false gods. 2:21And I gave her time for a change of heart, but she has no mind to give up her unclean ways. 2:22See, I will put her into a bed, and those who make themselves unclean with her, into great trouble, if they go on with her works. 2:23And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works. 2:24But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, even to those who have not this teaching, and have no knowledge of the secrets of Satan, as they say; I put on you no other weight. 2:25But what you have, keep safe till I come. 2:26He who overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, to him I will give rule over the nations, 2:27And he will be ruling them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of the potter they will be broken, even as I have power from my Father: 2:28And I will give him the morning star. 2:29He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
3:1And to the angel of the church in Sardis say: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I have knowledge of your works, that you seem to be living but are dead. 3:2Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure. 3:3Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you. 3:4But you have some names in Sardis who have kept clean their robes; and as a reward they will go in white with me. 3:5He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels. 3:6He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. 3:7And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia say: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, opening the door so that it may be shut by no one, and shutting it so that it may be open to no one. 3:8I have knowledge of your works (see, I have put before you an open door which may be shut by no one), and that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have been true to my name. 3:9See, I will make those of the Synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but say what is false; I will make them come and give worship before your feet, and see my love for you. 3:10Because you have kept my word in quiet strength, I will keep you from the hour of testing which is coming on all the world, to put to the test those who are on earth. 3:11I come quickly: keep that which you have, so that no one may take your crown. 3:12Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name. 3:13He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. 3:14And to the angel of the church in Laodicea say: These things says the true and certain witness, the head of God's new order: 3:15I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm. 3:16So because you are not one thing or the other, I will have no more to do with you. 3:17For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing. 3:18If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see. 3:19To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways. 3:20See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me. 3:21To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat. 3:22He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
4:1After these things I saw a door open in heaven, and the first voice came to my ears, like the sound of a horn, saying, Come up here, and I will make clear to you the things which are to come. 4:2Straight away I was in the Spirit: and I saw a high seat in heaven, and one was seated on it; 4:3And to my eyes he was like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was an arch of light round the high seat, like an emerald. 4:4And round about the high seat were four and twenty seats: and on them I saw four and twenty rulers seated, clothed in white robes; and on their heads crowns of gold. 4:5And out of the high seat came flames and voices and thunders. And seven lights of fire were burning before the high seat, which are the seven Spirits of God; 4:6And before the high seat there was, as it seemed, a clear sea of glass; and in the middle of the high seat, and round about it, four beasts full of eyes round about. 4:7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second like an ox, and the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. 4:8And the four beasts, having every one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and inside: and without resting day and night, they say, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, Ruler of all, who was and is and is to come. 4:9And when the beasts give glory and honour to him who is seated on the high seat, to him who is living for ever and ever, 4:10The four and twenty rulers go down on their faces before him who is seated on the high seat, and give worship to him who is living for ever and ever, and take off their crowns before the high seat, saying, 4:11It is right, our Lord and our God, for you to have glory and honour and power: because by you were all things made, and by your desire they came into being.
5:1And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat, a book with writing inside it and on the back, shut with seven stamps of wax. 5:2And I saw a strong angel saying in a loud voice, Who is able to make the book open, and to undo its stamps? 5:3And no one in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to get the book open, or to see what was in it. 5:4And I was very sad, because there was no one able to get the book open or to see what was in it. 5:5And one of the rulers said to me, Do not be sad: see, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome, and has power to undo the book and its seven stamps. 5:6And I saw in the middle of the high seat and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the rulers, a Lamb in his place, which seemed as if it had been put to death, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 5:7And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat. 5:8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty rulers went down on their faces before the Lamb, having every one an instrument of music, and gold vessels full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints. 5:9And their voices are sounding in a new song, saying, It is right for you to take the book and to make it open: for you were put to death and have made an offering to God of your blood for men of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation, 5:10And have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are ruling on the earth. 5:11And I saw, and there came to my ears the sound of a great number of angels round about the high seat and the beasts and the rulers; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 5:12Saying with a great voice, It is right to give to the Lamb who was put to death, power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing. 5:13And to my ears came the voice of everything in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and of all things which are in them, saying, To him who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb, may blessing and honour and glory and power be given for ever and ever. 5:14And the four beasts said, So be it. And the rulers went down on their faces and gave worship.
6:1And I saw when the Lamb undid one of the stamps, and the voice of one of the four beasts came to my ears, saying as with a voice of thunder, Come and see. 6:2And I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it had a bow; and there was given to him a crown: and he went out with power to overcome. 6:3And when the second stamp was undone, the voice of the second beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see. 6:4And another horse came out, a red horse; and it was given to him who was seated on it to take peace from the earth, so that people might put one another to death: and there was given to him a great sword. 6:5And when the third stamp was undone, the voice of the third beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see. And I saw a black horse; and he who was seated on it had scales in his hand. 6:6And a voice came to my ears, from the middle of the four beasts, saying, A measure of grain for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny: and see that you do no damage to the oil and the wine. 6:7And when the fourth stamp was undone, the voice of the fourth beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see. 6:8And I saw a grey horse, and the name of him who was seated on it was Death; and Hell came after him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to put to destruction by the sword, and by taking away their food, and by death, and by the beasts of the earth. 6:9And when the fifth stamp was undone, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for the word of God, and for the witness which they kept. 6:10And they gave a great cry, saying, How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth? 6:11And there was given to every one a white robe, and they were ordered to take their rest for a little time, till the number was complete of the other servants, their brothers, who would be put to death, even as they had been. 6:12And I saw when the sixth stamp was undone, and there was a great earth-shock; and the sun became black as haircloth, and all the moon became as blood; 6:13And the stars of heaven were falling to the earth, like green fruit from a tree before the force of a great wind. 6:14And the heaven was taken away like the roll of a book when it is rolled up; and all the mountains and islands were moved out of their places. 6:15And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the chief captains, and the men of wealth, and the strong, and every servant and free man, took cover in the holes and the rocks of the mountains; 6:16And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 6:17For the great day of their wrath is come, and who may keep his place?
7:1After this I saw four angels in their places at the four points of the earth, keeping back the four winds in their hands, so that there might be no moving of the wind on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. 7:2And I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the mark of the living God: and he said with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to do damage to the earth and the sea, 7:3Do no damage to the earth, or the sea, or the trees, till we have put a mark on the servants of our God. 7:4And there came to my ears the number of those who had the mark on their brows, a hundred and forty-four thousand, who were marked out of every tribe of the people of Israel. 7:5Of the tribe of Judah were marked twelve thousand: of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand: of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand: 7:6Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand: of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand: of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand: 7:7Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand: 7:8Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin were marked twelve thousand. 7:9After these things I saw a great army of people more than might be numbered, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and languages, taking their places before the high seat and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and with branches in their hands, 7:10Saying with a loud voice, Salvation to our God who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb. 7:11And all the angels were round about the high seat, and about the rulers and the four beasts; and they went down on their faces before the high seat, and gave worship to God, saying, 7:12So be it. Let blessing and glory and wisdom and praise and honour and power and strength be given to our God for ever and ever. So be it. 7:13And one of the rulers made answer, saying to me, These who have on white robes, who are they, and where did they come from? 7:14And I said to him, My lord, you have knowledge. And he said to me, These are they who came through the great testing, and their robes have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. 7:15This is why they are before the high seat of God; and they are his servants day and night in his house: and he who is seated on the high seat will be a tent over them. 7:16They will never be in need of food or drink: and they will never again be troubled by the burning heat of the sun: 7:17For the Lamb who is on the high seat will be their keeper and their guide to fountains of living water: and God will make glad their eyes for ever.
8:1And when the seventh stamp was undone there was quiet in heaven for about half an hour. 8:2And I saw the seven angels who had their place before God; and seven horns were given to them. 8:3And another angel came and took his place at the altar, having a gold vessel for burning perfume; and there was given to him much perfume, so that he might put it with the prayers of all the saints on the gold altar which was before the high seat. 8:4And the smoke of the perfume, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand. 8:5And the angel took the vessel; and he made it full of the fire of the altar, and sent it down on the earth: and there came thunders and voices and flames and a shaking of the earth. 8:6And the seven angels who had the seven horns made ready for sounding them. 8:7And at the sounding of the first, a rain of ice and fire, mixed with blood, was sent on the earth: and a third part of the earth, and of the trees, and all green grass was burned up. 8:8And at the sounding of the second angel, it was as if a great mountain burning with fire was sent into the sea: and a third part of the sea became blood, 8:9And destruction came on a third part of the living things which were in the sea, and on a third part of the ships. 8:10And at the sounding of the third angel, there went down from heaven a great star, burning like a flame, and it came on a third part of the rivers, and on the fountains of water. 8:11And the name of the star is Wormwood: and a third part of the waters became bitter; and a number of men came to their end because of the waters, for they were made bitter. 8:12And at the sounding of the fourth angel, a third part of the sun, and of the moon, and of the stars was made dark, so that there was no light for a third part of the day and of the night. 8:13And there came to my ears the cry of an eagle in flight in the middle of heaven, saying with a great voice, Trouble, trouble, trouble, to all on the earth, because of the other voices of the horns of the three angels, whose sounding is still to come.
9:1And at the sounding of the fifth angel I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth: and there was given to him the key of the great deep. 9:2And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke. 9:3And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions. 9:4And they were ordered to do no damage to the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to such men as have not the mark of God on their brows. 9:5And orders were given them not to put them to death, but to give them great pain for five months: and their pain was as the pain from the wound of a scorpion. 9:6And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them. 9:7And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 9:8And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9:9And they had breastplates like iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of carriages, like an army of horses rushing to the fight. 9:10And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months. 9:11They have over them as king the angel of the great deep: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek language Apollyon. 9:12The first Trouble is past: see, there are still two Troubles to come. 9:13And at the sounding of the sixth angel a voice came to my ears from the horns of the gold altar which is before God, 9:14Saying to the sixth angel who had the horn, Make free the four angels who are chained at the great river Euphrates. 9:15And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men. 9:16And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: the number of them came to my ears. 9:17And so I saw the horses in the vision, and those who were seated on them, having breastplates of fire and glass and of burning stone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and a smell of burning. 9:18By these evils a third part of men was put to death, by the fire, and the smoke, and the burning smell which came out of their mouths. 9:19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails: because their tails are like snakes, and have heads, and with them they give wounds. 9:20And the rest of the people, who were not put to death by these evils, were not turned from the works of their hands, but went on giving worship to evil spirits, and images of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood which have no power of seeing or hearing or walking: 9:21And they had no regret for putting men to death, or for their use of secret arts, or for the evil desires of the flesh, or for taking the property of others.
10:1And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and an arch of coloured light was round his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire; 10:2And he had in his hand a little open book: and he put his right foot on the sea, and his left on the earth; 10:3And he gave a loud cry, like the angry voice of a lion: and at his cry the voices of the seven thunders were sounding. 10:4And when the seven thunders had given out their voices, I was about to put their words down: and a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Keep secret the things which the seven thunders said, and do not put them in writing. 10:5And the angel which I saw taking his position on the sea and on the earth, put up his right hand to heaven, 10:6And took his oath by him who is living for ever and ever, who made the heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there would be no more waiting: 10:7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when the sound of his horn is about to come, then will the secret of God be complete, of which he gave the good news to his servants the prophets. 10:8And the voice came to me again from heaven, saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who has his place on the sea and on the earth. 10:9And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little book. And he said to me: Put it in your mouth; and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey. 10:10And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and did as he said; and it was sweet as honey in my mouth: and when I had taken it, my stomach was made bitter. 10:11And they said to me, You are to give word again of what is coming in the future to the peoples and nations and languages and kings.
11:1And there was given to me a measuring rod: and one said, Go up and take the measure of the house of God, and the altar, and the worshippers in it. 11:2But do not take the measure of the space outside the house; because it has been given to the nations: and the holy town will be under their feet for forty-two months. 11:3And I will give orders to my two witnesses, and they will be prophets for a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed with haircloth. 11:4These are the two olive-trees and the two lights, which are before the Lord of the earth. 11:5And if any man would do them damage, fire comes out of their mouth and puts an end to those who are working against them: and if any man has a desire to do them damage, in this way will he be put to death. 11:6These have the power to keep the heaven shut, so that there may be no rain in the days when they are prophets: and they have power over the waters to make them into blood, and to send every sort of disease on the earth as their pleasure is. 11:7And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death. 11:8And their dead bodies will be in the open street of the great town, which in the spirit is named Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was put to death on the cross. 11:9And the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will be looking on their dead bodies three days and a half, and will not let their dead bodies be put in the earth. 11:10And those who are on the earth will have pleasure and delight over them; and they will send offerings one to another because these two prophets gave great trouble to all on the earth. 11:11And after three days and a half the breath of life from God went into them, and they got up on their feet; and great fear came on those who saw them. 11:12And a great voice from heaven came to their ears, saying to them, Come up here. And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and were seen by those desiring their death. 11:13And in that hour there was a great earth-shock and a tenth part of the town came to destruction; and in the earth-shock seven thousand persons came to their end: and the rest were in fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 11:14The second Trouble is past: see, the third Trouble comes quickly. 11:15And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever. 11:16And the four and twenty rulers, who are seated before God on their high seats, went down on their faces and gave worship to God, saying, 11:17We give you praise, O Lord God, Ruler of all, who is and who was; because you have taken up your great power and are ruling your kingdom. 11:18And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time of reward for your servants, the prophets, and for the saints, and for those in whom is the fear of your name, small and great, and the time of destruction for those who made the earth unclean. 11:19And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.
12:1And a great sign was seen in heaven: a A woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 12:2And she was with child; and she gave a cry, in the pains of childbirth. 12:3And there was seen another sign in heaven; a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns. 12:4And his tail was pulling a third part of the stars of heaven down to the earth, and the dragon took his place before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when the birth had taken place he might put an end to her child. 12:5And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat. 12:6And the woman went in flight to the waste land, where she has a place made ready by God, so that there they may give her food a thousand, two hundred and sixty days. 12:7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going out to the fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels made war, 12:8And they were overcome, and there was no more place for them in heaven. 12:9And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him. 12:10And a great voice in heaven came to my ears, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because he who says evil against our brothers before our God day and night is forced down. 12:11And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death. 12:12Be glad then, O heavens, and you who are in them. But there is trouble for the earth and the sea: because the Evil One has come down to you, being very angry, having the knowledge that he has but a short time. 12:13And when the dragon saw that he was forced down to the earth, he made cruel attacks on the woman who gave birth to the male child. 12:14And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, so that she might go in flight into the waste land, to her place, where she is given food for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the snake. 12:15And the snake sent out of his mouth after the woman a river of water, so that she might be taken away by the stream. 12:16And the earth gave help to the woman, and with open mouth took up the river which the dragon sent out of his mouth. 12:17And the dragon was angry with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her seed, who keep the orders of God, and the witness of Jesus:
13:1And he took his place on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads unholy names. 13:2And the beast which I saw was like 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. 13:3And I saw one of his heads as if it had been given a death-wound; and his death-wound was made well: and all the earth was wondering at the beast. 13:4And they gave worship to the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and worshipping the beast, they said, Who is like the beast? and who is able to go to war with him? 13:5And there was given to him a mouth to say words of pride against God; and there was given to him authority to go on for forty-two months. 13:6And his mouth was open to say evil against God, and against his name and his Tent, even against those who are in heaven. 13:7And it was given to him to make war on the saints and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and language and nation. 13:8And all who are on the earth will give him worship, everyone whose name has not been from the first in the book of life of the Lamb who was put to death. 13:9If any man has ears, let him give ear. 13:10If any man sends others into prison, into prison he will go: if any man puts to death with the sword, with the sword will he be put to death. Here is the quiet strength and the faith of the saints. 13:11And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and his voice was like that of a dragon. 13:12And he makes use of all the authority of the first beast before his eyes. And he makes the earth and those who are in it give worship to the first beast, whose death-wound was made well. 13:13And he does great signs, even making fire come down from heaven on the earth before the eyes of men. 13:14And those who are on the earth are turned from the true way by him through the signs which he was given power to do before the beast; giving orders to those who are on the earth to make an image to the beast, who was wounded by the sword, and came to life. 13:15And he had power to give breath to the image of the beast, so that words might come from the image of the beast, and that he might have all those who did not give worship to the image of the beast put to death. 13:16And he gives to all, small and great, the poor and those who have wealth, the free and those who are not free, a mark on their right hand or on their brows; 13:17So that no man might be able to do trade but he who has the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name. 13:18Here is wisdom. He who has knowledge let him get the number of the beast; because it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty-six.
14:1And I saw the Lamb on the mountain of Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, marked on their brows with his name and the name of his Father. 14:2And a voice from heaven came to my ears, like the sound of great waters, and the sound of loud thunder: and the voice which came to me was like the sound of players, playing on instruments of music. 14:3And they made as it seemed a new song before the high seat, and before the four beasts and the rulers: and no man might have knowledge of the song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, even those from the earth whom God has made his for a price. 14:4These are they who have not made themselves unclean with women; for they are virgins. These are they who go after the Lamb wherever he goes. These were taken from among men to be the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. 14:5And in their mouth there was no false word, for they are untouched by evil. 14:6And I saw another angel in flight between heaven and earth, having eternal good news to give to those who are on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and language and people, 14:7Saying with a loud voice, Have fear of God and give him glory; because the hour of his judging is come; and give worship to him who made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of water. 14:8And a second angel came after, saying, Destruction has come to Babylon the great, which gave to all the nations the wine of the wrath of her evil ways. 14:9And a third angel came after them, saying with a loud voice, If any man gives worship to the beast and his image, and has his mark on his brow or on his hand, 14:10To him will be given of the wine of God's wrath which is ready unmixed in the cup of his wrath and he will have cruel pain, burning with fire before the holy angels and before the Lamb: 14:11And the smoke of their pain goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, who give worship to the beast and his image, and have on them the mark of his name. 14:12Here is the quiet strength of the saints, who keep the orders of God, and the faith of Jesus. 14:13And a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Put in writing, There is a blessing on the dead who from now on come to their end in the Lord: yes, says the Spirit, that they may have rest from their troubles; for their works go with them. 14:14And I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud I saw one seated, like a son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp curved blade. 14:15And another angel came out from the house of God, crying with a loud voice to him who was seated on the cloud, Put in your blade, and let the grain be cut: because the hour for cutting it is come; for the grain of the earth is over-ready. 14:16And he who was seated on the cloud sent in his blade on the earth; and the grain of the earth was cut. 14:17And another angel came out from the house of God which is in heaven, having a sharp curved blade. 14:18And another angel came out from the altar, who has power over fire; and he gave a loud cry to him who had the sharp curved blade, saying, Put in your sharp blade, and let the grapes of the vine of the earth be cut; for her grapes are fully ready. 14:19And the angel sent his blade into the earth, and the vine of the earth was cut, and he put it into the great wine-crusher of the wrath of God. 14:20And the grapes were crushed under foot outside the town, and blood came out from them, even to the head-bands of the horses, two hundred miles.
15:1And I saw another sign in heaven, great and strange; seven angels having the seven last punishments, for in them the wrath of God is complete. 15:2And I saw a sea which seemed like glass mixed with fire; and those who had overcome the beast and his image and the number of his name, were in their places by the sea of glass, with God's instruments of music in their hands. 15:3And they give the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and full of wonder are your works, O Lord God, Ruler of all; true and full of righteousness are your ways, eternal King. 15:4What man is there who will not have fear before you, O Lord, and give glory to your name? because you only are holy; for all the nations will come and give worship before you; for your righteousness has been made clear. 15:5And after these things I saw, and the house of the Tent of witness in heaven was open: 15:6And the seven angels who had the seven punishments came out from the house of God, clothed with linen, clean and bright and with bands of gold about their breasts. 15:7And one of the four beasts gave to the seven angels seven gold vessels full of the wrath of God, who is living for ever and ever. 15:8And the house of God was full of smoke from the glory of God, and from his power, and no one was able to go into the house of God, till the seven punishments of the seven angels were ended.
