The Revelation
of St John the Divine
( Chapters 1-22 )
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 Nicolaitans, 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
Nicolaitans, 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.
22:21: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
