Chapter 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. |
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. |
