Revelation 12:16–19:21

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 xto make war with the remnant of her seed, ywhich keep the commandments of God, and zhave ithe testimony of Jesus Christ.

13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw aa beast rise up aout of the sea, bhaving seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten bcrowns, and upon his heads the ||name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was clike unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of da bear, and his mouth as the mouth of ea lion: and fthe dragon gave him his power, and ghis seat, and great hauthority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and ihis deadly wound was healed: and kall the world wondered lafter the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave hpower unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, mWho is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him na mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and hpower was given unto him ||to ocontinue pforty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and qthem that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him rto make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and hpower was given him over sall kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all tthat dwell upon the earth shall worship him, kwhose names are not written in uthe book of life of vthe Lamb slain wfrom the foundation of the world. xIf any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 yHe that zleadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: ahe that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. bHere is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I beheld bbanother beast coming up cout of the earth; and he had two horns dlike a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth eall the power of the first beast fbefore him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein ffto worship the first beast, gwhose deadly wound was healed. 13 And hhe doeth great mwonders, iso that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And hkdeceiveth them that dwell on the earth lby the means of those mmiracles which he had power to do fin the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, gwhich 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 nworship the image of the beast nnshould be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both osmall and great, rich and poor, pfree and bond, to receive nqa mark in their right hand, or rin their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had qthe mark, or the name of the beast, or sthe number of his name. 18 tHere is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count sthe number of the beast: for uit is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

14 And I looked, and, lo, aa Lamb stood on bthe mount Sion, and with him can hundred forty and four thousand, dhaving his Father’s name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, eas the voice of many waters, and fas the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers gharping with their harps: And they sung as it were ha new song before the throne, and before gthe four beasts, and the elders: and ino man could learn that song but cthe hundred and forty and four thousand, hwhich were redeemed from the earth. These are they which jwere not defiled with women; for kthey are virgins. These are they jlwhich follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These hwere redeemed from among men, being mthe firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And nin their mouth was found no guile: for they are owithout fault before the throne of God.

And I saw another pangel fly in the midst of heaven, having qthe everlasting gospel to preach unto rthem that dwell on the earth, and to severy nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, tFear God, and ugive glory to him; for vthe hour wof his judgment is come: and xworship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, yzBabylon is fallen, is fallen, athat great city, because bshe made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man cworship the beast and his image, and receive chis mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same dshall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is epoured out fwithout mixture into dthe cup of his indignation; and ghe shall be tormented with ghfire and ghbrimstone in the presence of ithe holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And kthe smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and lthey have no rest day nor night, cwho worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth cthe mark of his name. 12 mHere is the patience of the saints: here are nthey that keep the commandments of God, and othe faith of Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, pWrite, qBlessed are the dead rwhich die in the Lord ||sfrom henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, tthat they may rest from their labours; and utheir works do follow them.

14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and vupon the cloud one sat wlike unto the Son of man, xhaving on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came yout of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in zthy sickle, and reap: for athe time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ||ripe. 16 And bhe that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came cout of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from dthe altar, ewhich 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; ffor 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 gwinepress of the wrath of God. 20 And ghthe winepress was trodden iwithout kthe city, and blood came out of the winepress, even lunto mthe horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred nfurlongs.

15 And I saw aanother sign in heaven, great and marvellous, bseven angels having the seven last plagues; cfor in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were da sea of glass emingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over fthe beast, and over fhis image, and over gghis mark, and over hthe number of his name, stand on dthe sea of glass, ihaving the harps of God. And they sing kthe song of Moses lthe servant of God, and mthe song of the Lamb, saying, nGreat and marvellous are thy works, oLord God Almighty; pqjust and qtrue are thy ways, thou King of ||saints. rsWho shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art ptholy: for uall nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy vjudgments are made manifest.

And after that I looked, and, behold, wthe temple of xthe tabernacle of the testimony yin heaven was opened: And bthe seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, zclothed in zzpure and white linen, and ahaving their breasts girded with golden girdles. And one of bthe four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven dgolden vials full of the wrath of God, ewho liveth for ever and ever. And fthe temple was filled with smoke gfrom the glory of God, and gfrom his power; and hno man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying ato the seven angels, Go your ways, and bpour out the vials cof the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial dupon the earth; and there fell a noisome and egrievous efsore upon the men gwhich had the mark of the beast, and upon them hwhich worshipped his image.

And the second angel poured out his vial iupon the sea; and iit became as the blood of a dead man: and kevery living soul died in the sea.

And the third angel poured out his vial lupon the rivers and fountains of waters; and mthey became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, nThou art righteous, O Lord, owhich art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For pthey have shed the blood of qsaints and prophets, and rthou hast given them blood to drink; for sthey are worthy. And tI heard another out of uthe altar say, Even so, vLord God wAlmighty, xtrue and nrighteous are thy judgments.

And the fourth angel poured out his vial yupon the sun; and zpower was given unto him ato scorch men with fire. And men were ||bscorched with great heat, and cblasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and dthey repented not eto give him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon fthe seat of the beast; and ghis kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And cblasphemed hthe God of heaven because of their pains and itheir sores, and drepented not of their deeds.

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon jthe great river Euphrates; and kthe water thereof was dried up, that lthe way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three munclean spirits like nfrogs come out of the mouth of othe dragon, and out of the mouth of pthe beast, and out of the mouth of qsthe false prophet. 14 For they are rthe spirits of devils, stworking miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of uthe whole world, vto gather them to …
