Revelation
The Revelation of St. John the Divine
{1:1} The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave
unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must
shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his
angel unto his servant John: {1:2} Who bare record of the
word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all
things that he saw. {1:3} Blessed [is] he that readeth, and
they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those
things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand.
{1:4} John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace
[be] unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which
was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits
which are before his throne; {1:5} And from Jesus Christ,
[who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the
dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that
loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
{1:6} And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his
Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen. {1:7} Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye
shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all
kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so,
Amen. {1:8} I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which
is to come, the Almighty.
{1:9} I John, who also am your brother, and companion in
tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ,
was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God,
and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. {1:10} I was in the
Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice,
as of a trumpet, {1:11} Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the
first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and
send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto
Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto
Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto
Laodicea. {1:12} And I turned to see the voice that spake
with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden
candlesticks; {1:13} And in the midst of the seven
candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a
garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a
golden girdle. {1:14} His head and [his] hairs [were] white
like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame
of fire; {1:15} And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they
burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many
waters. {1:16} And he had in his right hand seven stars: and
out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his
countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength. {1:17}
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid
his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the
first and the last: {1:18} I [am] he that liveth, and was dead;
and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the
keys of hell and of death.
{1:19} Write the things which thou hast seen, and the
things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
{1:20} The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in
my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The
seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the
seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven
churches.
{2:1} Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;
These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right
hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden
candlesticks; {2:2} I know thy works, and thy labour, and
thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are
evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles,
and are not, and hast found them liars: {2:3} And hast
borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast
laboured, and hast not fainted. {2:4} Nevertheless I have
[somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first
love. {2:5} Remember therefore from whence thou art
fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come
unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of
his place, except thou repent. {2:6} But this thou hast, that
thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
{2:7} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat
of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of
God.
{2:8} And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write;
These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and
is alive; {2:9} I know thy works, and tribulation, and
poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the
synagogue of Satan. {2:10} Fear none of those things which
thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you
into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have
tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will
give thee a crown of life. {2:11} He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
{2:12} And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write;
These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two
edges; {2:13} I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,
[even] where Satan’s seat [is:] and thou holdest fast my
name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days
wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain
among you, where Satan dwelleth. {2:14} But I have a few
things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold
the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a
stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things
sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. {2:15} So
hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. {2:16} Repent; or else I
will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them
with the sword of my mouth. {2:17} He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him
that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and
will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name
written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it.
]{2:18} And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira
write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes
like unto a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
{2:19} I know thy works, and charity, and service, and
faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be]
more than the first. {2:20} Notwithstanding I have a few
things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman
Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to
seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things
sacrificed unto idols. {2:21} And I gave her space to repent
of her fornication; and she repented not. {2:22} Behold, I
will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with
her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
{2:23} And I will kill her children with death; and all the
churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins
and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according
to your works. {2:24} But unto you I say, and unto the rest
in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which
have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will
put upon you none other burden. {2:25} But that which ye
have [already] hold fast till I come. {2:26} And he that
overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him
will I give power over the nations: {2:27} And he shall rule
them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they
be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
{2:28} And I will give him the morning star. {2:29} He that
hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
{3:1} And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write;
These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and
the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that
thou livest, and art dead. {3:2} Be watchful, and strengthen
the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not
found thy works perfect before God. {3:3} Remember
therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast,
and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on
thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will
come upon thee. {3:4} Thou hast a few names even in
Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall
walk with me in white: for they are worthy. {3:5} He that
overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and
I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
{3:6} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
{3:7} And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia
write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he
that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man
shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; {3:8} I know
thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and
no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast
kept my word, and hast not denied my name. {3:9} Behold,
I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they
are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to
come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have
loved thee. {3:10} Because thou hast kept the word of my
patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation,
which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell
upon the earth. {3:11} Behold, I come quickly: hold that
fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. {3:12}
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of
my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon
him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my
God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of
heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new
name. {3:13} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
{3:14} And unto the angel of the church of the
Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful
and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
{3:15} I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:
I would thou wert cold or hot. {3:16} So then because thou
art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out
of my mouth. {3:17} Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor,
and blind, and naked: {3:18} I counsel thee to buy of me
gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white
raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame
of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with
eyesalve, that thou mayest see. {3:19} As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. {3:20}
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me. {3:21} To him that overcometh
will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
{3:22} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
{4:1} After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was]
opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as
it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up
hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
{4:2} And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a
throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne. {4:3}
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine
stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in
sight like unto an emerald. {4:4} And round about the
throne [were] four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I
saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment;
and they had on their heads crowns of gold. {4:5} And out
of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and
voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before
the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. {4:6} And
before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal:
and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne,
[were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind. {4:7} And
the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast like a
calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth
beast [was] like a flying eagle. {4:8} And the four beasts
had each of them six wings about [him;] and [they were]
full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying,
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is,
and is to come. {4:9} And when those beasts give glory and
honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth
for ever and ever, {4:10} The four and twenty elders fall
down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him
that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before
the throne, saying, {4:11} Thou art worthy, O Lord, to
receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created
all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
{5:1} And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the
throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed
with seven seals. {5:2} And I saw a strong angel
proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the
book, and to loose the seals thereof? {5:3} And no man in
heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to
open the book, neither to look thereon. {5:4} And I wept
much, because no man was found worthy to open and to
read the book, neither to look thereon. {5:5} And one of the
elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe
of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof. {5:6} And I beheld,
and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and
in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. {5:7} And he
came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat
upon the throne. {5:8} And when he had taken the book, the
four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before
the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials
full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. {5:9} And
they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the
book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and
hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred,
and tongue, and people, and nation; {5:10} And hast made
us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the
earth. {5:11} And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many
angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders:
and the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands; {5:12} Saying with a
loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive
power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour,
and glory, and blessing. {5:13} And every creature which is
in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as
are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying,
Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him
that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and
ever. {5:14} And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four
[and] twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that
liveth for ever and ever.
{6:1} And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see. {6:2} And I saw, and behold a
white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown
was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer. {6:3} And when he had opened the second seal, I
heard the second beast say, Come and see. {6:4} And there
went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was
given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth,
and that they should kill one another: and there was given
unto him a great sword. {6:5} And when he had opened the
third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I
beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a
pair of balances in his hand. {6:6} And I heard a voice in
the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a
penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see]
thou hurt not the oil and the wine. {6:7} And when he had
opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast
say, Come and see. {6:8} And I looked, and behold a pale
horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell
followed with him. And power was given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
{6:9} And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under
the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of
God, and for the testimony which they held: {6:10} And
they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on
them that dwell on the earth? {6:11} And white robes were
given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little season, until their
fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed
as they [were,] should be fulfilled. {6:12} And I beheld
when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great
earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became as blood; {6:13} And the stars of
heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. {6:14}
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
together; and every mountain and island were moved out of
their places. {6:15} And the kings of the earth, and the great
men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the
mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid
themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
{6:16} And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb: {6:17} For the great day of his
wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
{7:1} And after these things I saw four angels standing on
the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the
earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the
sea, nor on any tree. {7:2} And I saw another angel
ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God:
and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it
was given to hurt the earth and the sea, {7:3} Saying, Hurt
not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have
sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. {7:4} And
I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there
were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of
all the tribes of the children of Israel. {7:5} Of the tribe of
Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben
[were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were]
sealed twelve thousand. {7:6} Of the tribe of Aser [were]
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were]
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were]
sealed twelve thousand. {7:7} Of the tribe of Simeon [were]
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed
twelve thousand. {7:8} Of the tribe of Zabulon [were]
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed
twelve thousand. {7:9} After this I beheld, and, lo, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and
kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne,
and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms
in their hands; {7:10} And cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and
unto the Lamb. {7:11} And all the angels stood round about
the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and
fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
{7:12} Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom,
and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be]
unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. {7:13} And one of
the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which
are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? {7:14}
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood
of the Lamb. {7:15} Therefore are they before the throne of
God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that
sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. {7:16} They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall
the sun light on them, nor any heat. {7:17} For the Lamb
which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall
lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes.
{8:1} And when he had opened the seventh seal, there
was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. {8:2}
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to
them were given seven trumpets. {8:3} And another angel
came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and
there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer
[it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which
was before the throne. {8:4} And the smoke of the incense,
[which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up
before God out of the angel’s hand. {8:5} And the angel
took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast
[it] into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings,
and lightnings, and an earthquake. {8:6} And the seven
angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to
sound.
{8:7} The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and
fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth:
and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass
was burnt up. {8:8} And the second angel sounded, and as it
were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the
sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; {8:9} And
the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had
life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
{8:10} And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great
star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon
the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
{8:11} And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and
the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many
men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
{8:12} And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of
the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the
third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was
darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and
the night likewise.
{8:13} And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through
the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe,
woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other
voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to
sound!
{9:1} And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall
from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of
the bottomless pit. {9:2} And he opened the bottomless pit;
and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a
great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by
reason of the smoke of the pit. {9:3} And there came out of
the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given
power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. {9:4} And
it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass
of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but
only those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads. {9:5} And to them it was given that they should
not kill them, but that they should be tormented five
months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a
scorpion, when he striketh a man. {9:6} And in those days
shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire
to die, and death shall flee from them. {9:7} And the shapes
of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle;
and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and
their faces [were] as the faces of men. {9:8} And they had
hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth]
of lions. {9:9} And they had breastplates, as it were
breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as
the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
{9:10} And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there
were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men
five months. {9:11} And they had a king over them, [which
is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the
Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath
[his] name Apollyon. {9:12} One woe is past; [and,]
behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
{9:13} And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice
from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
{9:14} Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river
Euphrates. {9:15} And the four angels were loosed, which
were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a
year, for to slay the third part of men. {9:16} And the
number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred
thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. {9:17}
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on
them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and
brimstone: and the heads of the horses [were] as the heads
of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and
brimstone. {9:18} By these three was the third part of men
killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone,
which issued out of their mouths. {9:19} For their power is
in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails [were] like
unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
{9:20} And the rest of the men which were not killed by
these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands,
that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and
silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can
see, nor hear, nor walk: {9:21} Neither repented they of
their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication,
nor of their thefts.
{10:1} And I saw another mighty angel come down from
heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his
head, and his face [was] as it were the sun, and his feet as
pillars of fire: {10:2} And he had in his hand a little book
open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and [his] left
[foot] on the earth, {10:3} And cried with a loud voice, as
[when] a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven
thunders uttered their voices. {10:4} And when the seven
thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I
heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those
things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
{10:5} And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and
upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, {10:6} And
sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created
heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and
the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which
are therein, that there should be time no longer: {10:7} But
in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall
begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as
he hath declared to his servants the prophets. {10:8} And
the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again,
and said, Go [and] take the little book which is open in the
hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
earth. {10:9} And I went unto the angel, and said unto him,
Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it,] and
eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in
thy mouth sweet as honey. {10:10} And I took the little
book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my
mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my
belly was bitter. {10:11} And he said unto me, Thou must
prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and
tongues, and kings.
{11:1} And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and
the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of
God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. {11:2}
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and
measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy
city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.
{11:3} And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and]
threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. {11:4} These are the
two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the
God of the earth. {11:5} And if any man will hurt them, fire
proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies:
and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be
killed. {11:6} These have power to shut heaven, that it rain
not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over
waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all
plagues, as often as they will. {11:7} And when they shall
have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of
the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall
overcome them, and kill them. {11:8} And their dead
bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord
was crucified. {11:9} And they of the people and kindreds
and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three
days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be
put in graves. {11:10} And they that dwell upon the earth
shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send
gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented
them that dwelt on the earth. {11:11} And after three days
and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them,
and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them
which saw them. {11:12} And they heard a great voice from
heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they
ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld
them. {11:13} And the same hour was there a great
earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the
earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the
remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of
heaven. {11:14} The second woe is past; [and,] behold, the
third woe cometh quickly. {11:15} And the seventh angel
sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our
Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
{11:16} And the four and twenty elders, which sat before
God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped
God, {11:17} Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God
Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because
thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
{11:18} And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come,
and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and
that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the
prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name,
small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy
the earth. {11:19} And the temple of God was opened in
heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his
testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and
thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
{12:1} And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a
woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet,
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: {12:2} And she
being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered. {12:3} And there appeared another wonder in
heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads
and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. {12:4}
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and
did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the
woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her
child as soon as it was born. {12:5} And she brought forth a
man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:
and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.
{12:6} And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she
hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there
a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days. {12:7} And
there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
{12:8} And prevailed not; neither was their place found any
more in heaven. {12:9} And the great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him. {12:10} And I heard
a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and
strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his
Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which
accused them before our God day and night. {12:11} And
they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the
word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto
the death. {12:12} Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye
that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of
the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great
wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
{12:13} And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the
earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the
man [child. ]{12:14} And to the woman were given two
wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the
wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a
time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the
serpent. {12:15} And the serpent cast out of his mouth
water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to
be carried away of the flood. {12:16} And the earth helped
the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed
up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
{12:17} And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and
went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep
the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
{13:1} And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads
the name of blasphemy. {13:2} And the beast which I saw
was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a
bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon
gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
{13:3} And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast. {13:4} And they worshipped the
dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast?
who is able to make war with him? {13:5} And there was
given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue
forty [and] two months. {13:6} And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. {13:7} And it
was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds,
and tongues, and nations. {13:8} And all that dwell upon
the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in
the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world. {13:9} If any man have an ear, let him hear. {13:10}
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is
the patience and the faith of the saints. {13:11} And I
beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. {13:12}
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before
him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
{13:13} And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire
come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
{13:14} And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the
means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the
sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast, which had the
wound by a sword, and did live. {13:15} And he had power
to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be killed. {13:16}
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: {13:17} And that no man might buy or sell, save
he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the
number of his name. {13:18} Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is
the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred
threescore [and] six.
{14:1} And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount
Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand,
having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. {14:2}
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many
waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the
voice of harpers harping with their harps: {14:3} And they
sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the
four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song
but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were
redeemed from the earth. {14:4} These are they which were
not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they
which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were
redeemed from among men, [being] the firstfruits unto God
and to the Lamb. {14:5} And in their mouth was found no
guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
{14:6} And I saw another angel fly in the midst of
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them
that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred,
and tongue, and people, {14:7} Saying with a loud voice,
Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his
judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and
earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. {14:8} And
there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of
the wine of the wrath of her fornication. {14:9} And the
third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any
man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his]
mark in his forehead, or in his hand, {14:10} The same shall
drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall
be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: {14:11} And
the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast
and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his
name. {14:12} Here is the patience of the saints: here [are]
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of
Jesus. {14:13} And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest
from their labours; and their works do follow them.
{14:14} And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and
upon the cloud [one] sat like unto the Son of man, having
on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
{14:15} And another angel came out of the temple, crying
with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy
sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for
the harvest of the earth is ripe. {14:16} And he that sat on
the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was
reaped. {14:17} And another angel came out of the temple
which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. {14:18}
And another angel came out from the altar, which had
power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had
the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and
gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are
fully ripe. {14:19} And the angel thrust in his sickle into the
earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into
the great winepress of the wrath of God. {14:20} And the
winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out
of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space
of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.
{15:1} And I saw another sign in heaven, great and
marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for
in them is filled up the wrath of God. {15:2} And I saw as it
were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had
gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and
over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on
the sea of glass, having the harps of God. {15:3} And they
sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of
the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works,
Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King
of saints. {15:4} Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and
glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations
shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are
made manifest. {15:5} And after that I looked, and, behold,
the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was
opened: {15:6} And the seven angels came out of the
temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white
linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
{15:7} And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven
angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who
liveth for ever and ever. {15:8} And the temple was filled
with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and
no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven
plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
{16:1} And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying
to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of
the wrath of God upon the earth. {16:2} And the first went,
and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a
noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the
mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his
image. {16:3} And the second angel poured out his vial
upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man:]
and every living soul died in the sea. {16:4} And the third
angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of
waters; and they became blood. {16:5} And I heard the
angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which
art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
{16:6} For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are
worthy. {16:7} And I heard another out of the altar say,
Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy
judgments. {16:8} And the fourth angel poured out his vial
upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men
with fire. {16:9} And men were scorched with great heat,
and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over
these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
{16:10} And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the
seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and
they gnawed their tongues for pain, {16:11} And
blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and
their sores, and repented not of their deeds. {16:12} And the
sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way
of the kings of the east might be prepared. {16:13} And I
saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth
of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of
the mouth of the false prophet. {16:14} For they are the
spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to
the battle of that great day of God Almighty. {16:15}
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
shame. {16:16} And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. {16:17} And the
seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there
came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the
throne, saying, It is done. {16:18} And there were voices,
and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great
earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth,
so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great. {16:19} And the
great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the
nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before
God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness
of his wrath. {16:20} And every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found. {16:21} And there fell upon
men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the
weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding
great.
{17:1} And there came one of the seven angels which had
the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come
hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great
whore that sitteth upon many waters: {17:2} With whom
the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine
of her fornication. {17:3} So he carried me away in the
spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having
seven heads and ten horns. {17:4} And the woman was
arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold
and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
{17:5} And upon her forehead [was] a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER
OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
{17:6} And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the
saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when
I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. {17:7} And
the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will
tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
{17:8} The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall
ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and
they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names
were not written in the book of life from the foundation of
the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not,
and yet is. {17:9} And here [is] the mind which hath
wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which
the woman sitteth. {17:10} And there are seven kings: five
are fallen, and one is, [and] the other is not yet come; and
when he cometh, he must continue a short space. {17:11}
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and
is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. {17:12} And the
ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one
hour with the beast. {17:13} These have one mind, and
shall give their power and strength unto the beast. {17:14}
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and
faithful. {17:15} And he saith unto me, The waters which
thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and tongues. {17:16} And the ten
horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the
whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat
her flesh, and burn her with fire. {17:17} For God hath put
in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be
fulfilled. {17:18} And the woman which thou sawest is that
great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
{18:1} And after these things I saw another angel come
down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was
lightened with his glory. {18:2} And he cried mightily with
a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,
and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every
foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
{18:3} For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath
of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the
earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies. {18:4} And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers
of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. {18:5}
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath
remembered her iniquities. {18:6} Reward her even as she
rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her
works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
{18:7} How much she hath glorified herself, and lived
deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she
saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall
see no sorrow. {18:8} Therefore shall her plagues come in
one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be
utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who
judgeth her. {18:9} And the kings of the earth, who have
committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall
bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the
smoke of her burning, {18:10} Standing afar off for the fear
of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon,
that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
{18:11} And the merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any
more: {18:12} The merchandise of gold, and silver, and
precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple,
and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner
vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious
wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, {18:13} And
cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense,
and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and
sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of
men. {18:14} And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are
departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and
goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no
more at all. {18:15} The merchants of these things, which
were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her
torment, weeping and wailing, {18:16} And saying, Alas,
alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and
purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious
stones, and pearls! {18:17} For in one hour so great riches
is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the
company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea,
stood afar off, {18:18} And cried when they saw the smoke
of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great
city! {18:19} And they cast dust on their heads, and cried,
weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city,
wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by
reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made
desolate. {18:20} Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye]
holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on
her. {18:21} And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great
millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with
violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and
shall be found no more at all. {18:22} And the voice of
harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall
be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of
whatsoever craft [he be,] shall be found any more in thee;
and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in
thee; {18:23} And the light of a candle shall shine no more
at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the
bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants
were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all
nations deceived. {18:24} And in her was found the blood
of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the
earth.
{19:1} And after these things I heard a great voice of
much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and
glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
{19:2} For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he
hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth
with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his
servants at her hand. {19:3} And again they said, Alleluia.
And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. {19:4} And the
four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and
worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;
Alleluia. {19:5} And a voice came out of the throne, saying,
Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him,
both small and great. {19:6} And I heard as it were the
voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for
the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. {19:7} Let us be glad
and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the
Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. {19:8}
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine
linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness
of saints. {19:9} And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are]
they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
{19:10} And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said
unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of
thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God:
for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. {19:11}
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he
that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war. {19:12} His
eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many
crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but
he himself. {19:13} And he [was] clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
{19:14} And the armies [which were] in heaven followed
him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and
clean. {19:15} And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule
them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. {19:16} And he
hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
{19:17} And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he
cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the
midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto
the supper of the great God; {19:18} That ye may eat the
flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of
mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on
them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both
small and great. {19:19} And I saw the beast, and the kings
of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war
against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
{19:20} And the beast was taken, and with him the false
prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and
them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive
into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. {19:21} And the
remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the
horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all
the fowls were filled with their flesh.
{20:1} And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his
hand. {20:2} And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years, {20:3} And cast him into the bottomless pit,
and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should
deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should
be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
{20:4} And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of
them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand years. {20:5} But the rest of the dead
lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This
[is] the first resurrection. {20:6} Blessed and holy [is] he
that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second
death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. {20:7}
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be
loosed out of his prison, {20:8} And shall go out to deceive
the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog
and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of
whom [is] as the sand of the sea. {20:9} And they went up
on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the
saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from
God out of heaven, and devoured them. {20:10} And the
devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are,] and
shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
{20:11} And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat
on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them. {20:12} And I saw
the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books
were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the
book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things
which were written in the books, according to their works.
{20:13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and
death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works.
{20:14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death. {20:15} And whosoever was not
found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of
fire.
{21:1} And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the
first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there
was no more sea. {21:2} And I John saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. {21:3} And I heard a
great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them,
[and be] their God. {21:4} And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away. {21:5} And he
that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and
faithful. {21:6} And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him
that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
{21:7} He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will
be his God, and he shall be my son. {21:8} But the fearful,
and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.
{21:9} And there came unto me one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and
talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the
bride, the Lamb’s wife. {21:10} And he carried me away in
the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven
from God, {21:11} Having the glory of God: and her light
[was] like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper
stone, clear as crystal; {21:12} And had a wall great and
high, [and] had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels,
and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel: {21:13} On the east
three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three
gates; and on the west three gates. {21:14} And the wall of
the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of
the twelve apostles of the Lamb. {21:15} And he that talked
with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates
thereof, and the wall thereof. {21:16} And the city lieth
foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he
measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
{21:17} And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred
[and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a
man, that is, of the angel. {21:18} And the building of the
wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like
unto clear glass. {21:19} And the foundations of the wall of
the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones.
The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the
third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; {21:20} The
fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite;
the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an
amethyst. {21:21} And the twelve gates [were] twelve
pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of
the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
{21:22} And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. {21:23} And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to
shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb
[is] the light thereof. {21:24} And the nations of them
which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of
the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. {21:25}
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there
shall be no night there. {21:26} And they shall bring the
glory and honour of the nations into it. {21:27} And there
shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither
[whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but
they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
{22:1} And he shewed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of
the Lamb. {22:2} In the midst of the street of it, and on
either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which
bare twelve [manner] of fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every
month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of
the nations. {22:3} And there shall be no more curse: but
the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his
servants shall serve him: {22:4} And they shall see his face;
and his name [shall be] in their foreheads. {22:5} And there
shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither
light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and
they shall reign for ever and ever.
{22:6} And he said unto me, These sayings [are] faithful
and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his
angel to shew unto his servants the things which must
shortly be done. {22:7} Behold, I come quickly: blessed is
he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
{22:8} And I John saw these things, and heard [them.] And
when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before
the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. {22:9}
Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy
fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. {22:10}
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy
of this book: for the time is at hand. {22:11} He that is
unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him
be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. {22:12} And,
behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give
every man according as his work shall be. {22:13} I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and
the last. {22:14} Blessed [are] they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city. {22:15}
For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers,
and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and
maketh a lie.
{22:16} I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you
these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring
of David, [and] the bright and morning star.
{22:17} And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let
him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst
come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life
freely.
{22:18} For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add
unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that
are written in this book: {22:19} And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God
shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of
the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this
book.
{22:20} He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I
come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
