Revelation 14:1–11

THE LAMB AND THE 144,000

14 Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion,d and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.e I heard a soundD from heaven like the sound of cascading watersf and like the rumbling of loud thunder. The sound I heard was like harpists playing on their harps.g They sangE a new songh before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders,i but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, since they remained virgins.j These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemedF from humanity as the firstfruitsk for God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.l

THE PROCLAMATION OF THREE ANGELS

Then I saw another angelm flying high overhead,n with the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.o He spoke with a loud voice:p “Fear Godq and give him glory,r because the hour of his judgment has come.s Worship the one who made heaven and earth,t the sea and the springs of water.”

And another, a second angel, followed, saying, “It has fallen, Babylon the Greatu has fallen.G She made all the nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality,H which brings wrath.”v

And another, a third angel, followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is poured full strength into the cup of his anger.w He will be tormented with fire and sulfurx in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, 11 and the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever.y There is no restI,z day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or anyone who receives the markaa of its name.
