- SALUTATION 1:1-7
1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he
saw.
1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be
unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to
come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the
faithful witness, and
the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the
earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood,
1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.
1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every
eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds
of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
- I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA 1:8-20
1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning an
d the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and
companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus
Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and
for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and
the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it
unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto
Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto
Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with
me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks
one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot,
and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they
burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and
out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead
. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the
first and the last:
1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of
death.
1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and
the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which
thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The
seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven
candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
- CHURCH 1: EPHESUS 2:1-7
2:1 Unto the angel of the church of
Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his
right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour,
and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and
thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast
found them liars:
2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and
for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou
art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come
unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,
except thou repent.
2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I
give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise
of God.
- CHURCH 2: SMYRNA 2:8-11
2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and
is alive;
2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and
poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which
say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt
suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some
of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation
ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of
life.
2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt
of the second death.
- CHURCH 3: PERGAMOS 2:12-17
2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos
write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,
even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was m
y faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
2:14 But I have a few things against thee,
because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who
taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to
eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give
to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the
stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth
it.
- CHURCH 4: THYATIRA 2:18-29
2:18 And unto the angel of the church in
Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes
like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service,
and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more
than the first.
2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things
against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth
herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her
fornication; and she repented not.
2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and
them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they
repent of their deeds.
2:23 And I will kill her children with death;
and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins
and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your
works.
2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in
Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known
the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other
burden.
2:25 But that which ye have already hold
fast till I come.
2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of
iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even
as I received of my Father.
2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
- CHURCH 5: SARDIS 3:1-6
3:1 And unto the angel of the church in
Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God,
and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou
livest, and art dead.
3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things
which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast
received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt
not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what
hour I will come upon thee.
3:4 Thou hast a few names even in
Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with
me in white: for they are worthy.
3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall
be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the
book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before
his angels.
3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches.
- CHURCH 6: PHILADELPHIA 3:7-13
3:7 And to the angel of the church in
Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true,
he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth;
and shutteth, and no man openeth;
3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have
set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a
little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
3:9 Behold, I will make them of the
synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie;
behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to
know that I have loved thee.
3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my
patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall
come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar
in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write
upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I
will write upon him my new name.
3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
- CHURCH 7: LAODICEA 3:14-22
3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the
Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that
thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried
in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou
mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be
zealous therefore, and repent.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me.
3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to
sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with
my Father in his throne.
3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
- THE HEAVENLY THRONE 4:1-11
4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door
was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and
I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and,
behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a j
asper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the
throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4:4 And round about the throne were
four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders
sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of
gold.
4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
4:6 And before the throne there was a
sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six
wings about him; and they were
full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy,
holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before
him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and
ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory
and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure they are and were created.
- THE LAMB WORTHY TO LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS 5:1-14
5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with
a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals
thereof?
5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found
worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me,
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath
prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of
the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders,
stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes,
which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
5:7 And he came and took the book out of the
right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four
beasts and four and
twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them
harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou
art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou
wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many
angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the
number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands;
5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the
Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and
strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and
on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all
that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and
power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four
and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
- SEAL 1: WHITE HORSE (CONQUEROR) 6:1-2
6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of
the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see.
6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse:
and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he
went forth conquering, and to conquer.
- SEAL 2: RED HORSE (WARMONGER) 6:3-4
6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I
heard the second beast say, Come and see.
6:4 And there went out another horse that
was red: and power
was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and
that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great
sword.
- SEAL 3: BLACK HORSE (FAMINE) 6:5-6
6:5 And when he had opened the third seal,
I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black
horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of
the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures
of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
- SEAL 4: PALE HORSE (DEATH AND HELL) 6:7-8
6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I
heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And
power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill
with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the
earth.
- SEAL 5: MARTYRS COMFORTED 6:9-11
6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of
God, and for the testimony which they held:
6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our
blood on them that dwell on the earth?
6:11 And white robes were given unto every one
of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a
little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that
should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
- SEAL 6: GREAT EARTHQUAKE AND CELESTIAL SIGNS 6:12-17
6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth
seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty
wind.
6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is
rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their
places.
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great
men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and
every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the
rocks of the mountains;
6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall
on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb:
6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
- 144000 ISRAELITES SEALED 7:1-8
7:1 And after these things I saw four
angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds
of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the
sea, nor on any tree.
7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from
the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud
voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
sea,
7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
foreheads.
7:4 And I heard the number of them which were
sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
- GREAT MULTITUDE 7:9-17
7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and
people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation
to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom,
and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God
for ever and ever. Amen.
7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And
he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of
God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on
the throne shall dwell among them.
7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the
throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of
waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
- SEAL 7: SEVEN TRUMPETS PREPARED 8:1-6
8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood be
fore God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
8:3 And another angel came and stood at
the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much
incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon
the golden altar which was before the throne.
8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came
with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the
angel's hand.
8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled
it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven
trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
- TRUMPET 1: TREES AND GRASS 8:7
8:7 The first angel sounded, and there
followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the
earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was
burnt up.
- TRUMPET 2: SEAS 8:8-9
8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as
it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and
the third part of the sea became blood;
8:9 And the third part of the creatures which
were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were
destroyed.
- TRUMPET 3: FRESH WATERS AND WORMWOOD 8:10-11
8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell
a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon
the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
8:11 And the name of the star is called
Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men
died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
- TRUMPET 4: SKIES 8:12
8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third
part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the
third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and
the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
- THREE WOES ANNOUNCED 8:13
8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying
through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to
the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the
trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
- TRUMPET 5 (FIRST WOE): LOCUSTS 9:1-12
9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw
a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of
the bottomless pit.
9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and
there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and
the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth
have power.
9:4 And it was commanded them that they
should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither
any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads.
9:5 And to them it was given that they should
not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from
them.
9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were
like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as i
t were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were
breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of
chariots of many horses running to battle.
9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five
months.
9:11 And they had a king over them, which is
the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is
Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
- TRUMPET 6 (SECOND WOE): 200 MILLION HORSEMEN 9:13-21
9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay
the third part of men.
9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision,
and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth,
and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
9:18 By these three was the third part of men
killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which
issued out of their mouths.
9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and
with them they do hurt.
9:20 And the rest of the men which were not
killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands,
that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and
brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor
walk:
9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of
their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
- THE SEVEN THUNDERS 10:1-4
10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from
heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and
he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the
earth,
10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a
lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their
voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them
not.
- TIME NO LONGER 10:5-7
10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea a
nd upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and
ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the
earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things
which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh
angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be
finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
- THE LITTLE BOOK 10:8-11
10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake
unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him,
Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as
honey.
10:10 And I took the little book out of the
angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and
as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again
before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
- TEMPLE MEASURED 11:1-2
11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a
rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God,
and the altar, and them that worship therein.
11:2 But the court which is without the temple
leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and
the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
- THE TWO WITNESSES 11:3-13
11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore
days, clothed in sackcloth.
11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two
candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire
proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any
man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it
rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to
turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as
they will.
11:7 And when they shall have finished their
testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make
war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the
street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half,
and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall
rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another;
because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit
of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and
great fear fell upon them which saw them.
11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
11:13 And the same hour was there a great
earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake
were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and
gave glory to the God of heaven.
- TRUMPET 7 (THIRD WOE): GOD'S WRATH IS COME, SAINTS REWARDED 11:14-19
11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were
great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever
and ever.
11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God
Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken
to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath
is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that
thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the
saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest
destroy them which destroy the earth.
11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven,
and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there
were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and
great hail.
- THE SUN-CLOTHED WOMAN 12:1-6
12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in
heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and
upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in
birth, and pained to be delivered.
12:3 And there appeared another wonder in
heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns,
and seven crowns upon his heads.
12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the
stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood
before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her
child as soon as it was born.
12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to
rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God,
and to his throne.
12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness,
where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a
thousand two hundred and threescore days.
- SATAN CAST FROM HEAVEN 12:7-12
12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the
power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our God day and night.
12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the
Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives
unto the death.
12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and
ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the
sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he
knoweth that he hath but a short time.
- SATAN PERSECUTES THE WOMAN 12:13-17
12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto
the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a
great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place,
where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the
face of the serpent.
12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as
a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the
flood.
12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the
earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast
out of his mouth.
12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman,
and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
- THE FIRST BEAST (FROM THE SEA) 13:1-8
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and
saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great
authority.
13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were
wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast.
13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like
unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty
and two months.
13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with
the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all
kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world.
- PATIENCE ADMONISHED 13:9-10
13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go
into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
- THE SECOND BEAST / FALSE PROPHET (FROM THE EARTH)
13:11-14a
13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the
first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh
fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
13:14a 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; ...
- THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST 13:14b-15
13:14b ... saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.
13:15 And he had power to give life unto the
image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed.
- THE MARK AND NUMBER OF THE BEAST 13:16-18
13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or
in their foreheads:
13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
- 144000 ISRAELITES REDEEMED 14:1-5
14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his
Father's name written in their foreheads.
14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the
voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard
the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before
the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could
learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand,
which were redeemed from the earth.
14:4 These are they which were not defiled with
women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb
whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
- ANGEL 1: THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL 14:6-7
14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on
the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and
give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him
that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
- ANGEL 2: BABYLON IS FALLEN 14:8
14:8 And there followed another angel, saying,
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all
nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
- ANGEL 3: WOE TO BEAST WORSHIPPERS 14:9-11
14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with
a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
- PATIENCE TO BE REWARDED WITH REST 14:12-13
14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
- SON OF MAN ON A WHITE CLOUD WITH SICKLE 14:14
14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and up
on the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a
golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
- ANGEL 4: THRUST IN THY SICKLE (EARTH REAPED) 14:15-1
6
14:15 And another angel came out of the temple,
crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy
sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest
of the earth is ripe.
14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
- ANGEL 5: THE SECOND SICKLE 14:17
14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which
is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
- ANGEL 6: THE WINEPRESS OF THE WRATH OF GOD 14:18-20
14:18 And another angel came out from the altar,
which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the
sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the
clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great
winepress of the wrath of God.
14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the
city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles,
by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
- ANGELS OF THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES ANNOUNCED 15:1
15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and
marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is
filled up the wrath of God.
- TRIBULATION SAINTS SING THE SONG OF MOSES AND OF THE LAMB 15:2-4
15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled
with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and
over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name,
stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of
God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy
works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of
saints.
15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
- VIALS OF WRATH COMMISSIONED 15:5-16:1
15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
15:6 And the seven angels came out of the
temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and
having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven
angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from
the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into
the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
- VIAL 1: BEAST WORSHIPPERS 16:2
16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial
upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his
image.
- VIAL 2: SEAS 16:3
16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon
the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living
soul died in the sea.
- VIAL 3: FRESH WATERS 16:4-7
16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say,
Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because
thou hast judged thus.
16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even
so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
- VIAL 4: SUN 16:8-9
16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon
the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and
they repented not to give him glory.
- VIAL 5: THE SEAT OF THE BEAST 16:10-11
16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial
upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and
they gnawed their tongues for pain,
16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
- VIAL 6: EUPHRATES RIVER 16:12
16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial
upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that
the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
- ARMIES DRAWN TO ARMAGEDDON (I COME AS A THIEF) 16:13-
16
16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs
come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole
world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they
see his shame.
16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
- VIAL 7: AIR (FINAL EARTHQUAKE AND GREAT HAIL) 16:17-21
16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial
into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne, saying, It is done.
16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and
lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men
were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
16:19 And the great city was divided into three
parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in
remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the
fierceness of his wrath.
16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains
were not found.
16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
- BABYLON 1: WHORE AND BEAST DESCRIBED 17:1-7
17:1 And there came one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come
hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that
sitteth upon many waters:
17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made
drunk with the wine of her fornication.
17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into
the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her fornication:
17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood
of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I
saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst
thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the
beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
- BABYLON 2: BEAST EXPLAINED 17:8-17
17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and
they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written
in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold
the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must
continue a short space.
17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is
the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten
kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as
kings one hour with the beast.
17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou
sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and
nations, and tongues.
17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon
the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and
naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil
his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the
words of God shall be fulfilled.
- BABYLON 3: WHORE EXPLAINED 17:18
17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great
city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
- BABYLON 4: ANGEL DECLARES BABYLON IS FALLEN 18:1-3
18:1 And after these things I saw another angel
come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened
with his glory.
18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of
every unclean and hateful bird.
18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich
through the abundance of her delicacies.
- BABYLON 5: DOUBLE JUDGMENT 18:4-8
18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God
hath remembered her iniquities.
18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and
double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath
filled fill to her double.
18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and
lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in
her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one
day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned
with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
- BABYLON 6: KINGS LAMENT 18:9-10
18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have
committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her,
and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her
torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!
for in one hour is thy judgment come.
- BABYLON 7: MERCHANTS LAMENT 18:11-17a
18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and
precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk,
and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and
all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and
marble,
18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments,
and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and
beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of
men.
18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are
departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
18:15 The merchants of these things, which were
made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment,
weeping and wailing,
18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city,
that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with
gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
18:17a For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.
...
- BABYLON 8: SEAMEN LAMENT 18:17b-19
18:17b ... And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and
cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein
were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her
costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
- BABYLON 9: REJOICING OVER GOD'S VENGEANCE 18:20
18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
- BABYLON 10: FINAL JUDGMENT OF BABYLON 18:21-24
18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians,
and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee;
and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more
in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no
more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride
shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great
men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
- BABYLON 11: REJOICING OVER FINAL JUDGMENT 19:1-6
19:1 And after these things I heard a great
voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory,
and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
19:2 For true and righteous are his
judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the
earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants
at her hand.
19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

knew, but he himself.
19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that
sat on the horse, and against his army.
19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived
them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped
his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with

image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until

a thousand years.

were written in the books, according to their works.
20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in
it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and
they were judged every man according to their works.

e first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more
sea.
21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God.
21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are
passed away.
21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold,
I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is
athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
- NEW JERUSALEM (BRIDE OF CHRIST) DESCRIBED 21:9-27
21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven
angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and
talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the
Lamb's wife.
21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a
great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy
Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had
twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the
length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the
reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the
height of it are equal.
21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred
and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of
a man, that is, of the angel.
21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the
fourth, an emerald;
21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius;
the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the
tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an
amethyst.
21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
21:24 And the nations of them which are saved
shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their
glory and honour into it.
21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by
day: for there shall be no night there.
21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
- WATER OF LIFE, TREE OF LIFE 22:1-2
22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
- THE LORD GOD GIVETH THEM LIGHT 22:3-5
22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they
need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them
light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
- THESE SAYINGS ARE FAITHFUL AND TRUE 22:6-7
22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are
faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel
to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
- WORSHIP GOD ONLY 2 22:8-9
22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet
of the angel which shewed me these things.
22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it
not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and
of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
- THE TIME IS AT HAND 22:10-11
22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of
the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still:
and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be
holy still.
- ALPHA AND OMEGA, BEGINNING AND END, FIRST AND LAST
22:12-17
22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward
is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end, the first and the last.
22:14 Blessed are they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers,
and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And
let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
- WOE TO THOSE WHO ALTER GOD'S WORD 22:18-19
22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth
the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this
book:
22:19 And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of
the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
- SURELY I COME QUICKLY 22:20-21
22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
