REVELATION

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto
him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they
that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are
written therein: for the time is at hand. 4 John to the seven churches
which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and
which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are
before his throne; 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful
witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the
kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins
in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his
Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold,
he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which
pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.
Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,
saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty. 9 ¶ I John, who also am your brother, and companion in
tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in
the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the
testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day,
and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the
last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven
churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto
Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia,
and unto Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst
of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a
garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and
his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass,
as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many
waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out
of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as
the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his
feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear
not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead;
and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell
and of death. 19 ¶ Write the things which thou hast seen, and the
things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20 The
mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the
seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven
churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven
churches.

1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;
These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand,
who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy
works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear
them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are
apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and
hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not
fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast
left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen,
and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee
quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou
repent.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of
the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I
give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise
of God. 8 ¶ And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These
things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9 I
know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I
know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but
are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none of those things which thou
shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison,
that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou
faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the
second death. 12 ¶ And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write;
These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I
know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is:
and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in
those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among
you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee,
because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who
taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to
eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast
thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I
hate.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly,
and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him
that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give
him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man
knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 18 ¶ And unto the angel of the
church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath
his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy
patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. 20
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou
sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to
teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat
things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her
fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a
bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with
death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the
reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to
your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as
many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of
Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 25 But
that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto
the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 And he shall
rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be
broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give
him the morning star. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.

1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write;
These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven
stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and
art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that
are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and
repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a
thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 Thou
hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments;
and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He that
overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not
blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name
before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches. 7 ¶ And to the angel of the church in
Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is
true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man
shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold,
I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou
hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my
name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say
they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to
come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep
thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world,
to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou
hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will
write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,
which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God:
and I will write upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 14 ¶ And unto the angel
of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the
faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I
know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert
cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest,
I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind,
and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed,
and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine
eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I
stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with
me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my
Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.

1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened
in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a
trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew
thee things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the
spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the
throne. 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine
stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like
unto an emerald. 4 And round about the throne were four and twenty
seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed
in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5 And out
of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and
there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the
seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like
unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the
throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the
first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the
third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying
eagle. 8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and
they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying,
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that
sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty
elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him
that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne,
saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and
honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure they are and were created.

1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the
throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven
seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is
worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man
in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the
book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was
found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the
tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and
to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne
and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as
it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and
took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty
elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and
golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And
they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to
open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to
God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and
nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we
shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many
angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the
number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was
slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and
honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in
heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the
sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour,
and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and
unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And
the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for
ever and ever.

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts
saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he
that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went
forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second
seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out
another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon
to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another:
and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened
the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I
beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of
balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a
penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7 And when he had
opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come
and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat
on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto
them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. 9 And when he
had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that
were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on
the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of
them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little
season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should
be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 12 And I beheld when he
had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and
the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as
blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig
tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and
every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the
kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief
captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man,
hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from
the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and
who shall be able to stand?

1 And after these things I saw four angels standing
on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any
tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the
seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four
angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying,
Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed
the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of
them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and
four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5 Of the
tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of
the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were
sealed twelve thousand. 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and
people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a
loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne,
and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on
their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory,
and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto
our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13 And one of the elders answered,
saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and
whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he
said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and
night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell
among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the
Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall
lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes.

1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was
silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the
seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven
trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a
golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he
should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar
which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came
with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the
angel’s hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire
of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and
thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets
prepared themselves to sound. 7 ¶ The first angel sounded, and there
followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the
earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass
was burnt up. 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great
mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of
the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were
in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were
destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star
from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part
of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and
the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the
waters, because they were made bitter. 12 And the fourth angel sounded,
and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the
moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was
darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night
likewise. 13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst
of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters
of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three
angels, which are yet to sound!

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall
from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a
smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and
the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there
came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given
power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded
them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any
green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the
seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they
should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months:
and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a
man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall
not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto
battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their
faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of
women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their
wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10
And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their
tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel
of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but
in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. 12 One woe is past; and,
behold, there come two woes more hereafter. 13 ¶ And the sixth angel
sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar
which is before God, 14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the
trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river
Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for
an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part
of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were
two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17 And
thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having
breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of
the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued
fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three was the third part of
men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which
issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and
in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads,
and with them they do hurt. 20 And the rest of the men which were not
killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands,
that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and
brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor
walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of
their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from
heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his
face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he
had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the
sea, and his left foot on the earth, 3 And cried with a loud voice, as
when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered
their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I
was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them
not. 5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever,
who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and
the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are
therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the
voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery
of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the
prophets. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me
again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand
of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I
went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he
said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly
bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the
little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my
mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was
bitter.
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again
before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and
the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without
the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the
Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two
months. 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in
sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks
standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if any man will hurt them,
fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if
any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not
in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them
to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they
will. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast
that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them,
and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall
lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom
and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people
and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three
days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in
graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them,
and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two
prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of
life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and
great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great
voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended
up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And the same
hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell,
and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant
were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14 The second woe
is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. 15 And the seventh
angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his
Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before
God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast,
and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and
hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and
the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou
shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the
saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest
destroy them which destroy the earth. 19 And the temple of God was
opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his
testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and
an earthquake, and great hail.

1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a
woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her
head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried,
travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared
another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail
drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the
earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be
delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she
brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of
iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she
hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a
thousand two hundred and threescore days. 7 And there was war in
heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the
dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast
out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of
his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused
them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto
the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is
come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath
but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the
earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might
fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a
time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And
the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman,
that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth
opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out
of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to
make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of
God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and
upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as
the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I
saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound
was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they
worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able
to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue
forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues,
and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth
with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and
the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and
causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so
that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of
men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of
those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image
to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he
had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of
the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in
their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had
the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here
is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six.

1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount
Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his
Father’s name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from
heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great
thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the
four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the
hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the
earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are
virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and
to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are
without fault before the throne of God.
6 ¶ And I saw another angel fly in the midst of
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on
the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour
of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8 And there followed another
angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because
she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any
man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his
forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for
ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest
from their labours; and their works do follow them. 14 ¶ And I looked,
and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son
of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp
sickle. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud
voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for
the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his
sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 17 And another angel
came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp
sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power
over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle,
saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine
of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel thrust in
his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast
it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress
was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even
unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred
furlongs.

1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and
marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is
filled up the wrath of God. 2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass
mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast,
and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name,
stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3 And they sing the
song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true
are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord,
and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall
come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. 5
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of
the testimony in heaven was opened:
6 And the seven angels came out of the temple,
having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having
their breasts girded with golden girdles. 7 And one of the four beasts
gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God,
who liveth for ever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke
from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter
into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were
fulfilled.

1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying
to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath
of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial
upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his
image. 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it
became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the
sea. 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of
the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and
shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty,
true and righteous are thy judgments. 8 And the fourth angel poured out
his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with
fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name
of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to
give him glory. 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the
seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they
gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of
their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 12 And
the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and
the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east
might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and
out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of
devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth
and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day
of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see
his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 17 And the seventh angel poured
out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the
temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there
were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great
earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three
parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in
remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the
fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of
heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed
God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was
exceeding great.

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had
the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I
will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon
many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed
fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with
the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into
the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the
woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold
and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead
was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the
saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her,
I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me,
Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten
horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend
out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell
on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of
life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that
was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And
there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is
not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is
the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the
ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the
beast. 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they
that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 15 And he saith
unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are
peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the
beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and
naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath
put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over
the kings of the earth.

1 And after these things I saw another angel come
down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with
his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon
the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils,
and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and
hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of
her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication
with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the
abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have
reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double
unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath
filled fill to her double. 7 How much she hath glorified herself, and
lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith
in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and
famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the
Lord God who judgeth her. 9 And the kings of the earth, who have
committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her,
and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that
great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment
come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The
merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls,
and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood,
and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most
precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and
odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine
flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and
slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are
departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The
merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand
afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that
was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with
gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great
riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in
ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And
cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like
unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried,
weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were
made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness!
for in one hour is she made desolate. 20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven,
and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great
millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall
that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at
all. 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and
trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of
whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound
of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light
of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the
bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for
thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries
were all nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of
prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

1 And after these things I heard a great voice of
much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and
honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are
his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt
the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his
servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke
rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the
four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne,
saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying,
Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small
and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty
thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of
the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her
was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white:
for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto
me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper
of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou
do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the
testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the
spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white
horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame
of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written,
that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the
armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in
fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp
sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them
with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a
name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 ¶ And I saw an angel
standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the
fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves
together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh
of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and
the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all
men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast,
and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make
war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the
beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles
before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of
the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast
alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him
that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and
all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having
the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he
laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and
Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the
bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he
should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be
fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4 And I
saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:
and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,
or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand
years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years. 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are
in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them
together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And
they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the
saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of
heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast
into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 ¶ And I saw a great white throne, and him that
sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book
was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of
those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell
delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every
man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the
lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle
of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the
throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write:
for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst
of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall
inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death. 9 ¶ And there came unto me one of the seven
angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and
talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the
Lamb’s wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and
high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like
unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the
gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of
the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 On the east three
gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the
west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations,
and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he
that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the
gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is
as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve
thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are
equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and
four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was
pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of
the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first
foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony;
the fourth, an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth,
a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every
several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure
gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein: for
the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the
city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for
the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:
and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be
no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the
nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing
that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie:
but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

REVELATION
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.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river,
was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and
yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the
healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall
serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in
their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no
candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:
and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 ¶ And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful
and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew
unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, I
come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of
this book. 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I
had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel
which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it
not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and
of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. 10 And he
saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for
the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and
he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous,
let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every
man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that
do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and
may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs,
and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you
these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,
and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst
come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 ¶ For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this
book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of
this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life,
and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this
book. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
all. Amen.
