14: • 1 Then I looked, and I saw that the Lamb was standing upon Mount Zion and with Him one hundred forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice out from heaven, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of great thunder. The voice that I heard was like harpists playing on their harps. • 3 And they were singing a new song in the presence of the throne, and in the presence of the four living things and the elders. No one was able to learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand who are purchased from the earth. 4 These have not been defiled with women; for they are virgins. • They follow the Lamb wherever He goes [t]. These have been purchased out from humanity as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was not found any lie or falseness or pretending; blameless they are in the presence of the throne of God [u). • 6 Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the age-unfolding gospel to proclaim upon those sitting upon the earth, to proclaim it upon every ethnic family and tribe, language and people, 7 saying in a great voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgement has come. And worship the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of waters.” 8 And a second angel followed, saying, “Fallen prostrate, fallen prostrate, is Babylon the great, for she has given to all ethnic families to drink of the wine of passion for her immorality.” 9 Then a third angel followed them, saying in a great voice, “If anyone worship the beast and its image, and receives a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he will also drink of the wine of the passion of God, that has been mixed undiluted inside the cup of His opposition; and he will be examined inside of fire and sulphur, in the presence of devoted angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their examination arises into the unfolding of the ages [v], and they shall not have rest day and night, those worshiping the beast and its image, and anyone who receives the imprint of its name. • 12 Here is the perseverance of the devoted ones, those watching over the completion of God and the faith of Jesus. 13 I heard a voice out of heaven saying, “Write, blessed are the dead inside of the Lord, those dying from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “So that they will rest from their toil; for their works accompany them.” 14 Then I looked, and I saw a white cloud, and upon the cloud was sitting One who resembles the Son of Man, having a golden crown upon His head and a sharp and eager sickle in His hand. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying in a great voice to the One sitting on the cloud, “Put forth Your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth has ripened.” • 16 And the One sitting upon the cloud swung His sickle upon the earth, and the earth was harvested. 17 Then another angel came out of the temple inside of heaven having also a sharp and eager sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, having authority over the fire, and he called in a great voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send forth your sharp sickle and gather in the clusters from the vine of the earth, because its grapes have fully ripened.” 19 And the angel sent forth his sickle into the earth and gathered in the vine of the earth and cast it into the winepress of the great passion of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed out of the winepress, as high as the bridles of the horses, to the distance of one thousand six hundred stadia. |
