The Revelation of St.
John the divine
Revelation 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:
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of
the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
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.
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;
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,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God
and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
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.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty.
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.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and
heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
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.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake
with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
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.
14 His head and his hairs were white like
wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if
they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
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.
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:
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.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and
the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
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.
Revelation 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 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:
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for
my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee,
because thou hast left thy first love.
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.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the
deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos
write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
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 my faithful
martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
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.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee
quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
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.
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;
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.
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.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her
fornication; and she repented not.
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.
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.
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.
25 But that which ye have already hold fast
till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my
works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
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.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
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;
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.
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.
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.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast
which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
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.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
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;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither
cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
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:
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.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be
zealous therefore, and repent.
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.
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.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 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.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and,
behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a
jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the
throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour
and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
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,
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.
Revelation 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.
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?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither
under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found
worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep
not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath
prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
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.
7 And he came and took the book out of the
right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
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.
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;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and
priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
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;
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.
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.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the
four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever
and ever.
Revelation 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.
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.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I
heard the second beast say, Come and see.
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.
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 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.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I
heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
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.
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:
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?
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.
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;
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.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it
is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their
places.
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;
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:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and
who shall be able to stand?
Revelation 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.
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,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea,
nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
foreheads.
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.
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.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
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.
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.
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;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
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,
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.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto
me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
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.
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.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst
any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
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.
Revelation 8
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood
before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
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.
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.
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.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven
trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
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.
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;
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.
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;
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.
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.
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!
Revelation 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and
their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
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.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and
there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five
months.
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.
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come
two woes more hereafter.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a
voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the
trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river
Euphrates.
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.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
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.
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.
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.
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:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor
of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 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:
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,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion
roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
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.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea
and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
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:
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.
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.
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 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.
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy
again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Revelation 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.
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.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses,
and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two
candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the
third woe cometh quickly.
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.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat
before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
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.
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.
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.
Revelation 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:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing
in birth, and pained to be delivered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his
angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place
found any more in heaven.
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.
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.
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 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.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast
unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Revelation 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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against
God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven.
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.
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.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
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.
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.
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 And he doeth great wonders, so that he
maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth
by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of
the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make
an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
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.
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:
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.
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.
Revelation 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.
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:
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.
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.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for
they are without fault before the throne of God.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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:
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.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here
are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
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.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and
upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a
golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
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.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his
sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple
which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
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.
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.
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.
Revelation 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.
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.
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.
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.
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the
temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
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.
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.
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.
Revelation 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.
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.
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.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon
the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
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.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say,
Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial
upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
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.
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,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of
their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
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.
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.
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.
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 And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
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.
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.
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.
20 And every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found.
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.
Revelation 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:
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.
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.
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:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH.
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.
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.
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.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The
seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
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.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he
is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
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.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their
power and strength unto the beast.
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.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou
sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,
and tongues.
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 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.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that
great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Revelation 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.
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.
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.
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.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and
God hath remembered her iniquities.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep
and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
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,
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.
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.
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,
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!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to
nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors,
and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her
burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
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.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy
apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
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.
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;
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.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets,
and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Revelation 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:
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.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke
rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four
beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;
Alleluia.
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.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty
thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour
to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made
herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be
arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the
righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are
they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith
unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And
he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy
brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony
of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white
horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on
his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew,
but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in
blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a
rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh
a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
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 gather yourselves together unto the supper of the
great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the
flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses,
and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and
bond, both small and great.
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 against his army.
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
brimstone.
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 with their flesh.
Revelation 20
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and
shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations
no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he
must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them,
and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had
not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark
upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again
until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the
first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall
be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired,
Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather
them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the
earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast
into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet
are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him
that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which
is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which
were written in the books, according to their works.
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.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake
of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the
book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for
the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no
more sea.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst
of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire
and brimstone: which is the second death.
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.
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,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was
like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as
crystal;
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:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three
gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me had a golden
reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
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.
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.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of
jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
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;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius;
the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth,
a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
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.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord
God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
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.
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.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at
all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour
of the nations into it.
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.
Revelation 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.
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.
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:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name
shall be in their foreheads.
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.
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.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that
keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
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.
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.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings
of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
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.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward
is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end, the first and the last.
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.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and
maketh a lie.
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.
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.
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:
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.
20 He which testifieth these things saith,
Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you all. Amen.
