Revelation 14
- 1And I looked, and a Lamb stood on mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty-four thousand, having his Father's name written on their foreheads.
- 2And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of a great thunder. I heard the sound of harp players playing their harps.
- 3And they sang what seemed to be a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred forty-four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth.
- 4These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
- 5And in their mouth was found no deceit. For they are without fault before the throne of God.
- 6And I saw another angel flying in the middle of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,
- 7saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
- 8And another angel followed, saying, Babylon has fallen, has fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.
- 9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead, or on his hand,
- 10He will also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out unmixed into the cup of his anger. And he will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
- 11And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
- 12Here is the patient endurance of the saints. Here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
- 13And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.
- 14And I looked, and there was a white cloud, and on the cloud sat one like the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
- 15And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, Put in your sickle, and reap. For the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
- 16And he who sat on the cloud put in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
- 17And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
- 18And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire. He cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Put in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.
- 19And the angel put 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.
- 20And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles, for about 180 miles.
