1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto hisservants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified itby his angel unto his servant John: 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, andof 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 sevenSpirits which are before his throne; 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is thefaithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of thekings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in hisown blood, 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; tohim be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they alsowhich 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, whichis, 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 thekingdom 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 churcheswhich are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and untoThyatira, 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 sawseven golden candlesticks; 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks onelike unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girtabout the paps with a golden girdle.
1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and hiseyes were as a flame of fire; 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as ifthey 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 asharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in hisstrength.
1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right handupon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 1:18 I am hethat liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and havethe keys of hell and of death.
1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and thethings which shall be hereafter; 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thousawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars arethe angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawestare the seven churches.
2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he thatholdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of theseven golden candlesticks; 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thypatience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast triedthem which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 2:3And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, andhast not fainted.
2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy firstlove.
2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do thefirst works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thycandlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which Ialso 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 themidst of the paradise of God.
2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith thefirst and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 2:9 I know thy works, andtribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of themwhich 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 shallcast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall havetribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crownof 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 hewhich hath the sharp sword with two edges; 2:13 I know thy works, and wherethou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, andhast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithfulmartyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them thathold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock beforethe children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commitfornication.
2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, whichthing I hate.
2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against themwith 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 givehim a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knowethsaving he that receiveth it.
2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith theSon of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are likefine brass; 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thypatience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferestthat woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seducemy 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 herinto great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall knowthat I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto everyone of you according to your works.
2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have notthis doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; Iwill 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 Igive power over the nations: 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; asthe vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received ofmy 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 hethat hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, thatthou 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, andrepent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, andthou 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 willnot blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his namebefore 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 hethat 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 thouhast 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 areJews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worshipbefore 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 fromthe hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them thatdwell upon the earth.
3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man takethy crown.
3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and heshall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and thename of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out ofheaven 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 thingssaith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation ofGod; 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thouwert cold or hot.
3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spuethee out of my mouth.
3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need ofnothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, andblind, and naked: 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, thatthou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and thatthe 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 openthe 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 Ialso 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 thefirst voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; whichsaid, 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 inheaven, and one sat on the throne.
4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: andthere 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 Isaw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had ontheir heads crowns of gold.
4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: andthere were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the sevenSpirits of God.
4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and inthe midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full ofeyes before and behind.
4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, andthe third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flyingeagle.
4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they werefull 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 onthe throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 4:10 The four and twenty elders falldown before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for everand ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 4:11 Thou artworthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast createdall 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 writtenwithin and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy toopen the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor inearth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to lookthereon.
5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read thebook, neither to look thereon.
5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of thetribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loosethe 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 sevenhorns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into allthe earth.
5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat uponthe throne.
5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty eldersfell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vialsfull 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 toopen the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thyblood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 5:10 And hastmade 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 throneand the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand timesten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthyis the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, andstrength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under theearth, 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 thethrone, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell downand 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 werethe 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; anda 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, Comeand see.
6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to himthat sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill oneanother: 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, Comeand see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pairof balances in his hand.
6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheatfor a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt notthe oil and the wine.
6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourthbeast say, Come and see.
6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him wasDeath, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over thefourth 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 ofthem that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which theyheld: 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy andtrue, 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 untothem, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservantsalso and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should befulfilled.
6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a greatearthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon becameas blood; 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig treecasteth 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 everymountain 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 thechief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hidthemselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 6:16 And said to themountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sittethon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 6:17 For the great day of hiswrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? 7:1 And after these things I sawfour angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four windsof the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, noron any tree.
7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of theliving God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it wasgiven to hurt the earth and the sea, 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neitherthe sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in theirforeheads.
7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed anhundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children ofIsrael.
7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reubenwere 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 ofNephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealedtwelve thousand.
7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Leviwere sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelvethousand.
7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Josephwere sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelvethousand.
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; 7:10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth uponthe throne, and unto the Lamb.
7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders andthe four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, andhonour, 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 arearrayed 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 greattribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood ofthe Lamb.
7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and nightin 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 sunlight on them, nor any heat.
7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, andshall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away alltears from their eyes.
8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven aboutthe space of half an hour.
8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were givenseven trumpets.
8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; andthere was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayersof 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, andcast 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 tosound.
8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled withblood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burntup, and all green grass was burnt up.
8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning withfire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 8:9 Andthe third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; andthe 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, andupon 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 thewaters, 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 thethird 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 byreason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet tosound! 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven untothe 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 byreason of the smoke of the pit.
9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them wasgiven 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 notthe seal of God in their foreheads.
9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that theyshould be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of ascorpion, when he striketh a man.
9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shalldesire 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 asthe faces of men.
9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teethof lions.
9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the soundof 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 theirtails: 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 hisname 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 ofthe golden altar which is before God, 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which hadthe trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great riverEuphrates.
9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and aday, 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 thousandthousand: and I heard the number of them.
9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, havingbreastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of thehorses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire andsmoke and brimstone.
9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by thesmoke, 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 tailswere 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 yetrepented 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 neithercan see, nor hear, nor walk: 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, norof their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with acloud: 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 bookopen: 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 hadcried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about towrite: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those thingswhich 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 uphis hand to heaven, 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, whocreated heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the thingsthat therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that thereshould be time no longer: 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventhangel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, ashe hath declared to his servants the prophets.
10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Goand take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standethupon the sea and upon the earth.
10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. Andhe 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 itwas in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly wasbitter.
10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, andnations, 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 thatworship 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 underfoot forty and two months.
11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy athousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing beforethe God of the earth.
11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, anddevoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this mannerbe killed.
11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of theirprophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite theearth with all plagues, as often as they will.
11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast thatascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shallovercome them, and kill them.
11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, whichspiritually 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 seetheir dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their deadbodies to be put in graves.
11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and makemerry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophetstormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11:11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered intothem, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which sawthem.
11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come uphither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheldthem.
11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of thecity fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and theremnant 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 ofhis Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fellupon their faces, and worshipped God, 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORDGod Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken tothee thy great power, and hast reigned.
11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of thedead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thyservants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, smalland 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 histemple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, andthunderings, 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: 12:2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to bedelivered.
12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great reddragon, 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 themto the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to bedelivered, 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 rodof 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 ofGod, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescoredays.
12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against thedragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 12:8 And prevailed not; neitherwas their place found any more in heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, andSatan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and hisangels were cast out with him.
12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, andstrength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for theaccuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day andnight.
12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of theirtestimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to theinhabiters 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 persecutedthe woman which brought forth the man child.
12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she mightfly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, andtimes, 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, andswallowed 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 theremnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimonyof Jesus Christ.
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of thesea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and uponhis heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were asthe feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gavehim 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 deadlywound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and theyworshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to makewar with him? 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great thingsand 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 overcomethem: 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 notwritten 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 killethwith the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and thefaith of the saints.
13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had twohorns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, andcauseth 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 heavenon the earth in the sight of men, 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on theearth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight ofthe beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make animage 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 imageof the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship theimage 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 noman might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, orthe number of his name.
13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of thebeast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescoreand six.
14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him anhundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in theirforeheads.
14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as thevoice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with theirharps: 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and beforethe four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but thehundred 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 wereredeemed 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 beforethe throne of God.
14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlastinggospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, andkindred, and tongue, and people, 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, andgive glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him thatmade 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 ofher fornication.
14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any manworship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or inhis hand, 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which ispoured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall betormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and inthe presence of the Lamb: 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast andhis image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep thecommandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are thedead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that theymay 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 likeunto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharpsickle.
14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to himthat sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come forthee 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 theearth was reaped.
14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he alsohaving a sharp sickle.
14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; andcried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thysharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapesare fully ripe.
14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vineof 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 thewinepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and sixhundred furlongs.
15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angelshaving 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 hadgotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, andover the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps ofGod.
15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of theLamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just andtrue are thy ways, thou King of saints.
15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only artholy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments aremade manifest.
15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of thetestimony in heaven was opened: 15:6 And the seven angels came out of thetemple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and havingtheir breasts girded with golden girdles.
15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vialsfull 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 hispower; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues ofthe seven angels were fulfilled.
16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Goyour 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 fella noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, andupon them which worshipped his image.
16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became asthe 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 ofwaters; and they became blood.
16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, whichart, 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 giventhem blood to drink; for they are worthy.
16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, trueand righteous are thy judgments.
16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was givenunto 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; andhis kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 16:11And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, andrepented 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 mightbe prepared.
16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of thedragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the falseprophet.
16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth untothe kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle ofthat great day of God Almighty.
16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth hisgarments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongueArmageddon.
16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came agreat 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 agreat earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty anearthquake, and so great.
16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of thenations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give untoher 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 theweight 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, andtalked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgmentof the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 17:2 With whom the kings ofthe earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth havebeen 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 womansit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having sevenheads and ten horns.
17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked withgold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full ofabominations and filthiness of her fornication: 17:5 And upon her forehead wasa name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS ANDABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with theblood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with greatadmiration.
17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell theethe mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath theseven heads and ten horns.
17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of thebottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shallwonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation ofthe 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 sevenmountains, on which the woman sitteth.
17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other isnot 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 theseven, and goeth into perdition.
17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received nokingdom 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 thebeast.
17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: forhe 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 whoresitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate thewhore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burnher with fire.
17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, andgive 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 overthe kings of the earth.
18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, havinggreat power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great isfallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold ofevery 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 themerchants 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 heriniquities.
18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double accordingto 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 muchtorment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and amno widow, and shall see no sorrow.
18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, andfamine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord Godwho judgeth her.
18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and liveddeliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall seethe 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 houris thy judgment come.
18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no manbuyeth 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, andscarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all mannervessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 18:13 Andcinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, andfine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, andslaves, and souls of men.
18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and allthings which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt findthem no more at all.
18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall standafar 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, andscarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 18:17 For inone hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all thecompany 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 islike 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 richall that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour isshe made desolate.
18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for Godhath avenged you on her.
18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast itinto the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon bethrown 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 hebe, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall beheard no more at all in thee; 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine nomore at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall beheard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of theearth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of allthat 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 Lordour God: 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged thegreat whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avengedthe 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 andworshipped 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 hisservants, 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 ofmany waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for theLord God omnipotent reigneth.
19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage ofthe 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 andwhite: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto themarriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayingsof God.
19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou doit not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony ofJesus: 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 uponhim was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and makewar.
19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; andhe 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 calledThe 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 smitethe nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth thewinepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OFKINGS, 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 gatheryourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 19:18 That ye may eat theflesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and theflesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, bothfree 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 againsthis army.
19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wroughtmiracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark ofthe beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive intoa 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 withtheir flesh.
20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomlesspit and a great chain in his hand.
20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, andSatan, and bound him a thousand years, 20:3 And cast him into the bottomlesspit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive thenations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that hemust be loosed a little season.
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given untothem: 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 hisimage, 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 werefinished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on suchthe 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 hisprison, 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the fourquarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: thenumber 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 ofthe saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out ofheaven, and devoured them.
20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire andbrimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormentedday and night for ever and ever.
20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose facethe 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 wereopened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the deadwere judged out of those things which were written in the books, according totheir works.
20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and helldelivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every manaccording to their works.
20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the seconddeath.
20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into thelake of fire.
21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the firstearth 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 ofheaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle ofGod is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, andGod 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 nomore 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 andthe end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water oflife freely.
21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and heshall be my son.
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, andwhoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have theirpart in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the seconddeath.
21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vialsfull of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I willshew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, andshewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven fromGod, 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone mostprecious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 21:12 And had a wallgreat and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and nameswritten thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children ofIsrael: 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the souththree gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names ofthe twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and thegates 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 puregold, like unto clear glass.
21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with allmanner 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, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; theninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; thetwelfth, an amethyst.
21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of onepearl: 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 arethe 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.
