66:001:001 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:
66:001:002 Who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he saw.
66:001:003 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.
66:001:004 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;
66:001:005 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,
66:001:006 And
hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
66:001:007 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.
66:001:008 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.
66:001:009 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.
66:001:010 I
was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,
66:001:011 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.
66:001:012 And
I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned,
I saw seven golden candlesticks;
66:001:013 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.
66:001:014 His
head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his
eyes were as a flame of fire;
66:001:015 And
his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and
his voice as the sound of many waters.
66:001:016 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.
66:001:017 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:
66:001:018 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.
66:001:019 Write
the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the
things which shall be hereafter;
66:001:020 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.
66:002:001 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;
66:002:002 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:
66:002:003 And
hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured,
and hast not fainted.
66:002:004 Nevertheless
I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
66:002:005 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.
66:002:006 But
this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes,
which I also hate.
66:002:007 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.
66:002:008 And
unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith
the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
66:002:009 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.
66:002:010 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.
66:002:011 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.
66:002:012 And
to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith
he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
66:002:013 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.
66:002:014 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.
66:002:015 So
hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes,
which thing I hate.
66:002:016 Repent;
or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them
with the sword of my mouth.
66:002:017 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.
66:002:018 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;
66:002:019 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.
66:002:020 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.
66:002:021 And
I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented
not.
66:002:022 Behold,
I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her
into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
66:002:023 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.
66:002:024 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.
66:002:025 But
that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
66:002:026 And
he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will
I give power over the nations:
66:002:027 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.
66:002:028 And
I will give him the morning star.
66:002:029 He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
66:003:001 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.
66:003:002 Be
watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready
to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
66:003:003 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.
66:003:004 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.
66:003:005 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.
66:003:006 He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
66:003:007 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;
66:003:008 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.
66:003:009 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.
66:003:010 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.
66:003:011 Behold,
I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take
thy crown.
66:003:012 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.
66:003:013 He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
66:003:014 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;
66:003:015 I
know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou
wert cold or hot.
66:003:016 So
then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spue thee out of my mouth.
66:003:017 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:
66:003:018 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.
66:003:019 As
many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent.
66:003:020 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.
66:003:021 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.
66:003:022 He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches.
66:004:001 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.
66:004:002 And
immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in
heaven, and one sat on the throne.
66:004:003 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.
66:004:004 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.
66:004:005 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.
66:004:006 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.
66:004:007 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.
66:004:008 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.
66:004:009 And
when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat
on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
66:004:010 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,
66:004:011 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.
66:005:001 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.
66:005:002 And
I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy
to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
66:005:003 And
no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able
to open the book, neither to look thereon.
66:005:004 And
I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read
the book, neither to look thereon.
66:005:005 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.
66:005:006 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.
66:005:007 And
he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat
upon the throne.
66:005:008 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.
66:005:009 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;
66:005:010 And
hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign
on the earth.
66:005:011 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;
66:005:012 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.
66:005:013 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.
66:005:014 And
the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell
down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
66:006:001 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.
66:006:002 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.
66:006:003 And
when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say,
Come and see.
66:006:004 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.
66:006:005 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.
66:006:006 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.
66:006:007 And
when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth
beast say, Come and see.
66:006:008 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.
66:006:009 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:
66:006:010 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?
66:006:011 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.
66:006:012 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;
66:006:013 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.
66:006:014 And
the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and
every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
66:006:015 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;
66:006:016 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:
66:006:017 For
the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
66:007:001 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.
66:007:002 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,
66:007:003 Saying,
Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have
sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
66:007:004 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.
66:007:005 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.
66:007:006 Of
the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed
twelve thousand.
66:007:007 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.
66:007:008 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.
66:007:009 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;
66:007:010 And
cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
66:007:011 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,
66:007:012 Saying,
Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour,
and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
66:007:013 And
one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which
are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
66:007:014 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.
66:007:015 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.
66:007:016 They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the
sun light on them, nor any heat.
66:007:017 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.
66:008:001 And
when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven
about the space of half an hour.
66:008:002 And
I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were
given seven trumpets.
66:008:003 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.
66:008:004 And
the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
66:008:005 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.
66:008:006 And
the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves
to sound.
66:008:007 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.
66:008:008 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;
66:008:009 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.
66:008:010 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;
66:008:011 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.
66:008:012 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.
66:008:013 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!
66:009:001 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.
66:009:002 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.
66:009:003 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.
66:009:004 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.
66:009:005 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.
66:009:006 And
in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall
desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
66:009:007 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.
66:009:008 And
they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the
teeth of lions.
66:009:009 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.
66:009:010 And
they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their
tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
66:009:011 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.
66:009:012 One
woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
66:009:013 And
the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns
of the golden altar which is before God,
66:009:014 Saying
to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels
which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
66:009:015 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.
66:009:016 And
the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand
thousand: and I heard the number of them.
66:009:017 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.
66:009:018 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.
66:009:019 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.
66:009:020 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:
66:009:021 Neither
repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their
fornication, nor of their thefts.
66:010:001 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:
66:010:002 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,
66:010:003 And
cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had
cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
66:010:004 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.
66:010:005 And
the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted
up his hand to heaven,
66:010:006 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:
66:010:007 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.
66:010:008 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.
66:010:009 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.
66:010:010 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.
66:010:011 And
he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and
nations, and tongues, and kings.
66:011:001 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.
66:011:002 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.
66:011:003 And
I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy
a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
66:011:004 These
are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before
the God of the earth.
66:011:005 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.
66:011:006 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.
66:011:007 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.
66:011:008 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.
66:011:009 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.
66:011:010 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.
66:011:011 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.
66:011:012 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.
66:011:013 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.
66:011:014 The
second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
66:011:015 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.
66:011:016 And
the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats,
fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
66:011:017 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.
66:011:018 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.
66:011:019 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.
66:012:001 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:
66:012:002 And
she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered.
66:012:003 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.
66:012:004 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.
66:012:005 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.
66:012:006 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.
66:012:007 And
there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
66:012:008 And
prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
66:012:009 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.
66:012:010 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.
66:012:011 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.
66:012:012 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.
66:012:013 And
when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted
the woman which brought forth the man child.
66:012:014 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.
66:012:015 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.
66:012:016 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.
66:012:017 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.
66:013:001 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.
66:013:002 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.
66:013:003 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.
66:013:004 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?
66:013:005 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.
66:013:006 And
he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name,
and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
66:013:007 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.
66:013:008 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.
66:013:009 If
any man have an ear, let him hear.
66:013:010 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.
66:013:011 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.
66:013:012 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.
66:013:013 And
he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven
on the earth in the sight of men,
66:013:014 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.
66:013:015 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.
66:013:016 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:
66:013:017 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.
66:013:018 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.
66:014:001 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.
66:014:002 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:
66:014:003 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.
66:014:004 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.
66:014:005 And
in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before
the throne of God.
66:014:006 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,
66:014:007 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.
66:014:008 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.
66:014:009 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,
66:014:010 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:
66:014:011 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.
66:014:012 Here
is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments
of God, and the faith of Jesus.
66:014:013 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.
66:014:014 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.
66:014:015 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.
66:014:016 And
he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and
the earth was reaped.
66:014:017 And
another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also
having a sharp sickle.
66:014:018 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.
66:014:019 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.
66:014:020 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.
66:015:001 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.
66:015:002 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.
66:015:003 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.
66:015:004 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.
66:015:005 And
after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of
the testimony in heaven was opened:
66:015:006 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.
66:015:007 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.
66:015:008 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.
66:016:001 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.
66:016:002 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.
66:016:003 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.
66:016:004 And
the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains
of waters; and they became blood.
66:016:005 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.
66:016:006 For
they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given
them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
66:016:007 And
I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty,
true and righteous are thy judgments.
66:016:008 And
the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was
given unto him to scorch men with fire.
66:016:009 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.
66:016:010 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,
66:016:011 And
blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores,
and repented not of their deeds.
66:016:012 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.
66:016:013 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.
66:016:014 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.
66:016:015 Behold,
I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
66:016:016 And
he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon.
66:016:017 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.
66:016:018 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.
66:016:019 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.
66:016:020 And
every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
66:016:021 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.
66:017:001 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:
66:017:002 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.
66:017:003 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.
66:017:004 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:
66:017:005 And
upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
66:017:006 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.
66:017:007 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.
66:017:008 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.
66:017:009 And
here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains,
on which the woman sitteth.
66:017:010 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.
66:017:011 And
the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of
the seven, and goeth into perdition.
66:017:012 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.
66:017:013 These
have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the
beast.
66:017:014 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.
66:017:015 And
he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
66:017:016 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.
66:017:017 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.
66:017:018 And
the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over
the kings of the earth.
66:018:001 And
after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having
great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
66:018:002 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.
66:018:003 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.
66:018:004 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.
66:018:005 For
her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
66:018:006 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.
66:018:007 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.
66:018:008 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.
66:018:009 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,
66:018:010 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.
66:018:011 And
the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no
man buyeth their merchandise any more:
66:018:012 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,
66:018:013 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.
66:018:014 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.
66:018:015 The
merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand
afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
66:018:016 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!
66:018:017 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,
66:018:018 And
cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city
is like unto this great city!
66:018:019 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.
66:018:020 Rejoice
over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God
hath avenged you on her.
66:018:021 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.
66:018:022 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;
66:018:023 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.
66:018:024 And
in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all
that were slain upon the earth.
66:019:001 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:
66:019:002 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.
66:019:003 And
again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
66:019:004 And
the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped
God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
66:019:005 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.
66:019:006 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.
66:019:007 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.
66:019:008 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.
66:019:009 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.
66:019:010 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.
66:019:011 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.
66:019:012 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.
66:019:013 And
he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called
The Word of God.
66:019:014 And
the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
66:019:015 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.
66:019:016 And
he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
66:019:017 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;
66:019:018 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.
66:019:019 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.
66:019:020 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.
66:019:021 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.
66:020:001 And
I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless
pit and a great chain in his hand.
66:020:002 And
he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil,
and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
66:020:003 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.
66:020:004 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.
66:020:005 But
the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were
finished. This is the first resurrection.
66:020:006 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.
66:020:007 And
when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of
his prison,
66:020:008 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.
66:020:009 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.
66:020:010 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.
66:020:011 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.
66:020:012 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.
66:020:013 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.
66:020:014 And
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second
death.
66:020:015 And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into
the lake of fire.
66:021:001 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.
66:021:002 And
I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out
of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
66:021:003 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.
66:021:004 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.
66:021:005 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.
66:021:006 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.
66:021:007 He
that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God,
and he shall be my son.
66:021:008 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.
66:021:009 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.
66:021:010 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,
66:021:011 Having
the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious,
even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
66:021:012 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:
66:021:013 On
the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three
gates; and on the west three gates.
66:021:014 And
the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names
of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
66:021:015 And
he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and
the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
66:021:016 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.
66:021:017 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.
66:021:018 And
the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure
gold, like unto clear glass.
66:021:019 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;
66:021:020 The
fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the
eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the
eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
66:021:021 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.
66:021:022 And
I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb
are the temple of it.
66:021:023 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.
66:021:024 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.
66:021:025 And
the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall
be no night there.
66:021:026 And
they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
66:021:027 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.
66:022:001 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.
66:022:002 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.
66:022:003 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:
66:022:004 And
they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
66:022:005 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.
66:022:006 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.
66:022:007 Behold,
I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy
of this book.
66:022:008 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.
66:022:009 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.
66:022:010 And
he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book:
for the time is at hand.
66:022:011 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.
66:022:012 And,
behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every
man according as his work shall be.
66:022:013 I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the
last.
66:022:014 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.
66:022:015 For
without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,
and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
66:022:016 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.
66:022:017
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.
66:022:018
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:
66:022:019
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.
66:022:020
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
66:022:021
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
