| 1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and
with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name
of his Father, written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from
heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and
the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping
with their harps: 3 and they sing as it were a new song before the throne,
and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn
the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, even they that
had been purchased out of the earth. 4 These are they that were not
defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they that follow
the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to
be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth
was found no lie: they are without blemish. 6 And I saw another angel
flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that
dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
7 and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the
hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the
earth and sea and fountains of waters. 8 And another, a second angel,
followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the
nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And
another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man
worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or
upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever
and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast
and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the
patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith
of Jesus. 13 And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are
the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them. 14 And
I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud I saw one sitting
like unto a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand
sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a
great voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle, and reap:
for the hour to reap is come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And
he that sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was
reaped. 17 Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven, he
also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar,
he that hath power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him that
had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the
clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And
the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the
earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress, of the
wrath of God. 20 And the winepress are trodden without the city, and there
came out blood from the winepress, even unto the bridles of the horses, as
far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
