The Revelation to Saint John
1:1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which
God gave him to show unto his servants, even the things which must
shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel
unto his servant John; 1:2who bare witness of the word of God,
and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, even of all things that he
saw. 1:3Blessed is he that readeth, and they
that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written
therein: for the time is at hand. 1:4John to the seven churches that are in
Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and who was and who is to
come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne; 1:5and
from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of
the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth
us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood; 1:6and he made us to
be a kingdom, to be priests unto his God and Father; to him
be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1:7Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and
every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of
the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen. 1:8I am the Alpha and the
Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the
Almighty. 1:9I John, your brother and partaker with
you in tribulation and kingdom and patience which are in Jesus, was
in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony
of Jesus. 1:10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,
and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet 1:11saying, What thou
seest, write in a book and send it to the seven churches: unto
Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto
Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 1:12And I turned to see
the voice that spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden
candlesticks; 1:13and in the midst of the candlesticks
one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and
girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle. 1:14And his head and his
hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as
a flame of fire; 1:15and his feet like unto burnished
brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice
of many waters. 1:16And he had in his right hand seven
stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his
countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 1:17And when I saw him, I
fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying,
Fear not; I am the first and the last, 1:18and the Living one;
and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys
of death and of Hades. 1:19Write therefore the things which thou
sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass
hereafter; 1:20the 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 are
seven churches.
2:1To the angel of the church in Ephesus
write: These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right
hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: 2:2I
know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear
evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are
not, and didst find them false; 2:3and thou hast patience and didst bear
for my name's sake, and hast not grown weary. 2:4But I have this
against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love. 2:5Remember therefore
whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come
to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou
repent. 2:6But this thou hast, that thou hatest
the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 2:7He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that
overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the
Paradise of God. 2:8And to the angel of the church in
Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and
lived again: 2:9I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty
(but thou art rich), and the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews, and
they art not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 2:10Fear not the things
which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to 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 the crown of life.
2:11He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of
the second death. 2:12and to the angel of the church in
Pergamum write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:
2:13I know where thou dwellest,
even where Satan's throne is; and thou holdest fast my name, and
didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my
faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth. 2:14But
I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there some that hold
the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before
the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit
fornication. 2:15So hast thou also some that hold the
teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner. 2:16Repent therefore; or
else I come to thee quickly, and I will make war against them with the
sword of my mouth. 2:17He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I
give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the
stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
2:18And to the angel of the church in
Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like
a flame of fire, and his feet are like unto burnished brass: 2:19I
know thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that
thy last works are more than the first. 2:20But I have this
against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a
prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 2:21And I gave her time
that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication.
2:22Behold, I cast her into a bed, and
them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they
repent of her works. 2:23And I will kill her children with
death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the
reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your
works. 2:24But to you I say, to the rest that are
in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep
things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other
burden. 2:25Nevertheless that which ye have, hold
fast till I come. 2:26And he that overcometh, and he that
keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the
nations: 2:27and he shall rule them with a rod of
iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have
received of my Father: 2:28and I will give him the morning star.
2:29He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith to the churches.
3:1And to 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 thou art dead. 3:2Be thou watchful, and establish the
things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of
thine perfected before my God. 3:3Remember therefore how thou hast
received and didst hear; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou
shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour
I will come upon thee. 3:4But thou hast a few names in Sardis
that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white;
for they are worthy. 3:5He that overcometh shall thus be
arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the
book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his
angels. 3:6He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith to the churches. 3:7And 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 none shall shut, and
that shutteth and none openeth: 3:8I know thy works (behold, I have set
before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little
power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name. 3:9Behold, I give of the synagogue of
Satan, of them that say they are Jews, and they 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. 3:10Because thou didst keep the word of my
patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that hour
which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the
earth. 3:11I come quickly: hold fast that which
thou hast, that no one take thy crown. 3:12He that overcometh, I
will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence
no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the
city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my
God, and mine own new name. 3:13He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith to the churches. 3:14And to the angel of the church in
Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of the creation of God: 3:15I know thy works, that
thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 3:16So
because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out
of my mouth. 3:17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou
art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked: 3:18I
counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become
rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that
the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint
thine eyes, that thou mayest see. 3:19As many as I love, I reprove and
chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 3:20Behold, 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. 3:21He that overcometh, I
will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and
sat down with my Father in his throne. 3:22He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
4:1After these things I saw, and behold, a
door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, a voice as
of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up hither, and I will show
thee the things which must come to pass hereafter. 4:2Straightway I was in
the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting
upon the throne; 4:3and he that sat was to look upon
like a jasper stone and a sardius: and there was a rainbow round
about the throne, like an emerald to look upon. 4:4And round about the
throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I
saw four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on
their heads crowns of gold. 4:5And out of the throne proceed
lightnings and voices and thunders. And there was seven lamps of
fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 4:6and
before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like a crystal; and in the
midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures
full of eyes before and behind. 4:7And the first creature was like
a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a
face as of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.
4:8and the four living creatures, having
each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and
they have no rest day and night, saying,
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who
is and who is to come.
4:9And when the living creatures shall
give glory and honor and thanks to him that sitteth on the throne, to him
that liveth for ever and ever, 4:10the four and twenty elders shall fall
down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that
liveth for ever and ever, and shall cast their crowns before the throne,
saying,
4:11Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God,
to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create
all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.
5:1And I saw in the right hand of him that
sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with
seven seals. 5:2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming
with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals
thereof? 5:3And no one in the heaven, or on the
earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon.
5:4And I wept much, because no one was
found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon: 5:5and one of the elders
saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals
thereof. 5:6And I saw in the midst of the throne
and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb
standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes,
which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth. 5:7And
he came, and he taketh it out of the right hand of him that sat on
the throne. 5:8And when he had taken the book, the
four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the
Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are
the prayers of the saints. 5:9And they sing a new song, saying,
Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for
thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of
every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, 5:10and madest them to
be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon earth.
5:11And I saw, and I heard a voice of many
angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and
the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands; 5:12saying with a great voice,
Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and
riches, and wisdom, and might and honor, and glory, and blessing.
5:13And every created thing which is in
the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all
things are in them, heard I saying,
Unto him that sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the
blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and
ever.
5:14And the four living creatures said,
Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped.
6:1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of
the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as
with a voice of thunder, Come. 6:2And I saw, and behold, a white horse,
and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown:
and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. 6:3And when he opened the
second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 6:4And
another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon
it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one
another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 6:5And when he opened the
third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and
behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand.
6:6And I heard as it were a voice in the
midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a
shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and the oil and the
wine hurt thou not. 6:7And when he opened the fourth seal, I
heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come. 6:8And I
saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was
Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them
authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. 6:9And
when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of
them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which
they held: 6:10and they cried with a great voice,
saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and
avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 6:11And there was given
them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should
rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their
brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled
their course. 6:12And I saw when he opened the sixth
seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; 6:13and
the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her
unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind. 6:14And the heaven was
removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places. 6:15And the kings of the earth, and the
princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every
bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the
mountains; 6:16and they say to the mountains and to
the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on
the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 6:17for the great day of
their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?
7:1After his I saw four angels standing at
the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that
no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree. 7:2And I
saw another angel ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living
God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels to whom it was
given to hurt the earth and the sea, 7:3saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the
sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on
their foreheads. 7:4And I heard the number of them that
were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every
tribe of the children of Israel:
7:5Of the tribe of Judah were
sealed 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 sealed twelve thousand.
7:9After these things I saw, and behold, a
great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of
all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and
before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; 7:10and
they cry with a great voice, saying,
Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.
7:11And all the angels were standing round
about the throne, and about the elders and the four living
creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped
God, 7:12saying,
Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and
power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
7:13And one of the elders answered, saying
unto me, These that are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and whence
came they? 7:14And I say unto him, My lord, thou
knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come of the great
tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood
of the Lamb. 7:15Therefore are they before the throne
of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that
sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them. 7:16They shall hunger no more, neither
thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat: 7:17for
the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and
shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away
every tear from their eyes.
8:1And when he opened the seventh seal,
there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 8:2And I
saw the seven angels that stand before God; and there were given unto them
seven trumpets. 8:3And another angel came and stood over
the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much
incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the
golden altar which was before the throne. 8:4And the smoke of the
incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the
angel's hand. 8:5And the angel taketh the censer; and he
filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and
there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 8:6And
the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
8:7And the first sounded, and there
followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the
earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of
the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8:8And
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; 8:9and
there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea,
even they that had life; and the third part of the ships was
destroyed. 8:10And the third angel sounded, and there
fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the
third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters; 8:11and
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. 8:12And 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; that the third part of them should be darkened,
and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in
like manner. 8:13And I saw, and I heard an eagle,
flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for them
that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of
the three angels, who are yet to sound.
9:1And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw
a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the
key of the pit of the abyss. 9:2And he opened the pit of the abyss; and
there went up 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. 9:3And
out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given
them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 9:4And it was said unto
them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green
thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on
their foreheads. 9:5And it was given them 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 it striketh a man. 9:6And
in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they
shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 9:7And the shapes of the
locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it
were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men's faces. 9:8And
they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as teeth
of lions. 9:9And they had breastplates, as it were
breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of
chariots, of many horses rushing to war. 9:10And they have tails
like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt
men five months. 9:11They have over them as king the angel
of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek
tongue he hath the name Apollyon. 9:12The first Woe is past:
behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter. 9:13And the sixth angel
sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is
before God, 9:14one saying to the sixth angel that had
one trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river
Euphrates. 9:15And the four angels were loosed, that
had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they
should kill the third part of men. 9:16And the number of the armies of the
horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of
them. 9:17And thus I saw the horses in the
vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates as of fire
and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of lions; and out of their
mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. 9:18By these three plagues
was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the
brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 9:19For the power of the
horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like
unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt. 9:20And
the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not
of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the
idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood;
which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: 9:21and they repented not
of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of
their thefts.
10:1And I saw another strong angel coming
down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his
head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire; 10:2and
he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the
sea, and his left upon the earth; 10:3and he cried with a great voice, as a
lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
10:4And when the seven thunders uttered
their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven
saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write
them not. 10:5And the angel that I saw standing upon
the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven, 10:6and
sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the
things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein,
and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no
longer: 10:7but in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished they mystery of
God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the
prophets. 10:8And the voice which I heard from
heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the
book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and
upon the earth. 10:9And I went unto the angel, saying unto
him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it,
and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it
shall be sweet as honey. 10:10And 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
when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. 10:11And they say unto me,
Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and
kings.
11:1And there was given me a reed like
unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
altar, and them that worship therein. 11:2And the court which is
without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been
given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot
forty and two months. 11:3And I will give unto my two witnesses,
and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth. 11:4These are the two olive trees and the
two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth. 11:5And
if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and
devoureth their enemies; and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this
manner must he be killed. 11:6These have the power to shut the
heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have
power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with
every plague, as often as they shall desire. 11:7And when they shall
have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss
shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 11:8And
their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was
crucified. 11:9And from among the peoples and tribes
and tongues and nations do men look upon their dead bodies three
days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 11:10And they that dwell on the earth
rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to
another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the
earth. 11:11And after the three days and a half
the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their
feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. 11:12And they heard a great voice from
heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in
the cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 11:13And in that hour
there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and
there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest
were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 11:14The second Woe is past: behold, the
third Woe cometh quickly. 11:15And the seventh angel sounded; and
there followed great voices in heaven, and they said,
The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and
of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever.
11:16And the four and twenty elders, who
sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God,
11:17saying,
We give thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who wast;
because thou hast taken thy great power, and didst reign. 11:18And the nations were wroth, and thy
wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to
give their reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to
them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that
destroy the earth.
11:19And there was opened the temple of
God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his
covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an
earthquake, and great hail.
12:1And a great sign was seen in heaven: a
woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head
a crown of twelve stars; 12:2and she was the child; and she crieth
out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. 12:3And
there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon,
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. 12:4And
his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them
to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be
delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. 12:5And
she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations
with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his
throne. 12:6And the woman fled into the
wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may
nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 12:7And
there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war
with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 12:8And
they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 12:9And
the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the
Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the
earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 12:10And I heard a great
voice in heaven, saying,
Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 12:11And they overcame him because of the
blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they
loved not their life even unto death. 12:12Therefore rejoice, O
heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea:
because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that
he hath but a short time.
12:13And when the dragon saw that he was
cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man
child. 12:14And there were given to the woman the
two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto
her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,
from the face of the serpent. 12:15And the serpent cast out of his mouth
after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried
away by the stream. 12:16And the earth helped the woman, and
the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon
cast out of his mouth. 12:17And the dragon waxed wroth with the
woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the
commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
13:1and he stood upon 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 diadems, and upon his heads names of
blasphemy. 13:2And 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
throne, and great authority. 13:3And I saw one of his heads as
though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed:
and the whole earth wondered after the beast; 13:4and they worshipped
the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able
to war with him? 13:5and there was given to him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him
authority to continue forty and two months. 13:6And he opened his
mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven. 13:7And
it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and
tongue and nation. 13:8And all that dwell on the earth shall
worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the
foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been
slain. 13:9If any man hath an ear, let him hear.
13:10If any man is for captivity,
into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the
sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
13:11And I saw another beast coming up out
of the earth; and he had two horns like unto lamb, and he spake as a
dragon. 13:12And he exerciseth all the authority
of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. 13:13And he doeth great signs, that he
should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the
sight of men. 13:14And he deceiveth them that dwell on
the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him 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 who hath the stroke of the sword and lived. 13:15And it was given unto him to
give breath to it, even to the image to the breast, that the image
of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not
worship the image of the beast should be killed. 13:16And he causeth all,
the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the
bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their
forehead; 13:17and that no man should be able to buy
or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast
or the number of his name. 13:18Here is wisdom. He that hath
understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number
of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.
14:1And I saw, and behold, the Lamb
standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four
thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their
foreheads. 14:2And I heard a voice from heaven, as
the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the
voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with
their harps: 14:3and they sing as it were a new song
before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders:
and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four
thousand, even they that had been purchased out of the earth. 14:4These are they that were not defiled
with women; for they are virgins. These are they that follow the
Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to
be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. 14:5And in their mouth was
found no lie: they are without blemish. 14:6And I saw another
angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto
them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue
and people; 14:7and he saith with a great voice, Fear
God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship
him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters. 14:8And
another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the
great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of
her fornication. 14:9And another angel, a third, followed
them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his
image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 14:10he also shall drink of the wine of
the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and
he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 14:11and the smoke of
their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and
night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the
mark of his name. 14:12Here is the patience of the saints,
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 14:13And I heard the voice from heaven
saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth:
yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their
works follow with them. 14:14And I saw, and behold, a white cloud;
and on the cloud I saw one sitting like unto a son of man, having
on his head a golden crown, and in his hand sharp sickle. 14:15And another angel came out from the
temple, crying with a great voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send forth
thy sickle, and reap: for the hour to reap is come; for the harvest of the
earth is ripe. 14:16And he that sat on the cloud cast his
sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped. 14:17Another angel came
out from the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 14:18And another angel came out from the
altar, he that hath power over fire; and he called with a great voice to
him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and
gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully
ripe. 14:19And the angel cast his sickle into
the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the
winepress, the great winepress, of the wrath of God. 14:20And the winepress are trodden without
the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even unto the
bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
15:1And I saw another sign in heaven,
great and marvellous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are
the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God. 15:2And I saw as it were a
sea of glass mingled with fire; and them that come off victorious from the
beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by
the sea of glass, having harps of God. 15:3And they sing the song
of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
Great and marvellous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous
and true are thy ways, thou King of the ages. 15:4Who shall not fear, O
Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations
shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made
manifest.
15:5And after these things I saw, and the
temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 15:6and
there came out from the temple the seven angels that had the seven
plagues, arrayed with precious stone, pure and bright, and
girt about their breasts with golden girdles. 15:7And one of the four
living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the
wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. 15:8And the temple was
filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and none was
able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels
should be finished.
16:1And I heard a great voice out of the
temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of
the wrath of God into the earth. 16:2And the first went, and poured out his
bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the
men that had the mark of the beast, and that worshipped his image. 16:3And
the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a
dead man; and every living soul died, even the things that were in
the sea. 16:4And the third poured out his bowl into
the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood. 16:5And
I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and
who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge: 16:6for
they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood hast
thou given them to drink: they are worthy. 16:7And I heard the altar
saying, Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are thy
judgments. 16:8And the fourth poured out his bowl
upon the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire. 16:9And
men were scorched men with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God
who hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him
glory. 16:10And the fifth poured out his bowl
upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they
gnawed their tongues for pain, 16:11and they blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their
works. 16:12And the sixth poured out his bowl
upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof
was dried up, that the way might by made ready for the kings that
come from the sunrising. 16:13And I saw coming out of the
mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the
mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: 16:14for they are spirits of demons,
working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather
them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. 16:15(Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed
is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and
they see his shame.) 16:16And they gathered them together into
the place which is called in Hebrew Har-magedon. 16:17And the seventh
poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out
of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done: 16:18and there were
lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake,
such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an
earthquake, so mighty. 16:19And the great city was divided into
three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was
remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of
the fierceness of his wrath. 16:20And every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found. 16:21And great hail, every stone
about the weight of a talent, cometh down out of heaven upon men: and men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof
is exceeding great.
17:1And there came one of the seven angels
that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will
show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;
17:2with whom the kings of the earth
committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken
with the wine of her fornication. 17:3And he carried me away in the Spirit
into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 17:4And
the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and
precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of
abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, 17:5and
upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER
OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 17:6And 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 a great wonder. 17:7And
the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the
seven heads and the ten horns. 17:8The beast that thou sawest was, and is
not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition.
And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, they whose name hath
not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,
when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.
17:9Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The
seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth: 17:10and they are seven kings; the five
are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he
must continue a little while. 17:11And the beast that was, and is not,
is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into
perdition. 17:12And the ten horns that thou sawest
are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive
authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. 17:13These have one mind,
and they give their power and authority unto the beast. 17:14These shall war against the Lamb, and
the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings;
and they also shall overcome that are with him, called and chosen
and faithful. 17:15And he saith unto me, The waters
which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes,
and nations, and tongues. 17:16And the ten horns which thou sawest,
and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate
and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire.
17:17For God did put in their hearts to do
his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the
beast, until the words of God should be accomplished. 17:18And the woman whom thou sawest is the
great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
18:1After these things I saw another angel
coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was
lightened with his glory. 18:2And he cried with a mighty voice,
saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of
demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean
and hateful bird. 18:3For by the wine of the wrath of her
fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth
committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich
by the power of her wantonness. 18:4And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with
her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: 18:5for her sins have
reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 18:6Render unto her even as she rendered,
and double unto her the double according to her works: in the cup
which she mingled, mingle unto her double. 18:7How much soever she
glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and
mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and
shall in no wise see mourning. 18:8Therefore in one day shall her plagues
come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned
with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her. 18:9And
the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with
her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her
burning, 18:10standing afar off for the fear of her
torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for
in one hour is thy judgment come. 18:11And the merchants of the earth weep
and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more; 18:12merchandise of gold, and silver, and
precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and
scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel
made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; 18:13and cinnamon, and spice, and incense,
and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and
wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and merchandise of horses and
chariots and slaves; and souls of men. 18:14And the fruits which
thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty
and sumptuous are perished from thee, and men shall find them no
more at all. 18:15The merchants of these things, who
were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment,
weeping and mourning; 18:16saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she
that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with
gold and precious stone and pearl! 18:17for in an hour so great riches is
made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any
wither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar
off, 18:18and cried out as they looked upon the
smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city? 18:19And they cast dust on their heads,
and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein
all that had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her
costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 18:20Rejoice over her,
thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath
judged your judgment on her. 18:21And a strong angel took up a stone as
it were a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a
mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be
found no more at all. 18:22And the voice of harpers and
minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all
in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at
all in thee; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in
thee; 18:23and the light of a lamp 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 princes
of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived. 18:24And in her was found the blood of
prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.
19:1After these things I heard as it were
a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,
Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God: 19:2for
true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot,
her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the
blood of his servants at her hand.
19:3And a second time they say,
Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever. 19:4And
the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and
worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah. 19:5And
a voice came forth from the throne, saying,
Give praise to our God, all ye his servants, ye that fear him, the
small and the great.
19:6And I heard as it were the voice of a
great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of
mighty thunders, saying,
Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth. 19:7Let
us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for
the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 19:8And
it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright
and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
19:9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed
are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith
unto me, These are true words of God. 19:10And I fell down
before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not:
I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the
testimony of Jesus: worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit
of prophecy. 19:11And I saw the heaven opened; and
behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True;
and in righteous he doth judge and make war. 19:12And his eyes
are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and
he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself. 19:13And he is arrayed in a garment
sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 19:14And the armies which are in heaven
followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and
pure. 19:15And out of his mouth proceedeth 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
of the wrath of God, the Almighty. 19:16And he hath on his garment and on his
thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 19:17And I saw an angel standing in the
sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in
mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of
God; 19:18that 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 thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free
and bond, and small and great. 19:19And I saw the beast, and the kings of
the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him
that sat upon the horse, and against his army. 19:20And the beast was
taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight,
wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and
them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of
fire that burneth with brimstone: 19:21and the rest were killed with the
sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came
forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
20:1And I saw an angel coming down out of
heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 20:2And
he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan,
and bound him for a thousand years, 20:3and cast him into the abyss, and shut
it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the
nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this
he must be loosed for a little time. 20:4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon
them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them
that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of
God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received
not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and
reigned with Christ a thousand years. 20:5The rest of the dead
lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first
resurrection. 20:6Blessed and holy is he that hath part
in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but
they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a
thousand years. 20:7And when the thousand years are
finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 20:8and shall come forth
to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and
Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the
sand of the sea. 20:9And they went up over the breadth of
the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved
city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them. 20:10And the devil that deceived them was
cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the
false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and
ever. 20:11And I saw a great white throne, and
him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them. 20:12And I saw the dead,
the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were
opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and
the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books,
according to their works. 20:13And the sea gave up the dead that
were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and
they were judged every man according to their works. 20:14And death and Hades were cast into
the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.
20:15And if any was not found written in
the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
21:1And I saw a new heaven and a new
earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the
sea is no more. 21:2And I saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready as a bride adorned
for her husband. 21:3And I heard a great voice out of the
throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall
dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be
with them, and be their God: 21:4and he shall wipe away every tear from
their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning,
nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away. 21:5And
he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true. 21:6And he said unto me,
They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the
end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of
life freely. 21:7He that overcometh shall inherit these
things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 21:8But
for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and
fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part
shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is
the second death. 21:9And there came one of the seven angels
who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and
he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the
wife of the Lamb. 21:10And he carried me away in the Spirit
to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, 21:11having the glory of God: her light
was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as
crystal: 21:12having a wall great and high; having
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:
21:13on the east were three gates; and on
the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three
gates. 21:14And the wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15And he that spake with me had for a
measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the
wall thereof. 21:16And the city lieth foursquare, and
the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city
with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and
the height thereof are equal. 21:17And he measured the wall thereof, a
hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a
man, that is, of an angel. 21:18And the building of the wall thereof
was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass. 21:19The foundations of the wall of the
city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation
was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth,
emerald; 21:20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth,
sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the
tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21:21And the twelve gates were twelve
pearls; each one of the several gates was of one pearl: and the street of
the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 21:22And I saw no temple therein: for the
Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof. 21:23And the city hath no need of the sun,
neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten
it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb. 21:24And the nations shall
walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their
glory into it. 21:25And the gates thereof shall in no
wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there): 21:26and they shall bring the glory and
the honor of the nations into it: 21:27and there shall in no wise enter into
it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only
they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.
22:1And he showed me a river of water of
life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the
Lamb, 22:2in the midst of the street thereof.
And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing
twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the
leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 22:3And
there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb
shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him; 22:4and they shall see his
face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. 22:5And
there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither
light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign
for ever and ever. 22:6And he said unto me, These words are
faithful and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets,
sent his angels to show unto his servants the things which must shortly
come to pass. 22:7And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is
he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. 22:8And
I John am he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I
fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these
things. 22:9And he saith unto me, See thou do it
not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren the prophets,
and with them that keep the words of this book: worship God. 22:10And he saith unto me, Seal not up the
words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. 22:11He that is unrighteous, let him do
unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy
still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he
that is holy, let him be made holy still. 22:12Behold, I come
quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his
work is. 22:13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
first and the last, the beginning and the end. 22:14Blessed are they that
wash their robes, that they may have the right to come to the tree
of life, and my enter in by the gates into the city. 22:15Without are the dogs, and the
sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and
every one that loveth and maketh a lie. 22:16I Jesus have sent
mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the
root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star. 22:17And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let
him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely. 22:18I
testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this
book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues
which are written in this book: 22:19and if any man shall take away from
the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from
the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this
book. 22:20He who testifieth these things saith,
Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus. 22:21The grace of the Lord
Jesus be with the saints. Amen.
