12And there appeared a great ||wonder in heaven; a woman aclothed with bthe sun, and cthe moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of dtwelve stars: 2And eshe being with child cried, ftravailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3And there appeared another ||wonder in heaven; and behold a great gred hdragon, ihaving seven heads and ijten horns, and seven kcrowns upon his heads. 4And his tail ldrew mthe third part of the stars of heaven, and ndid cast them to the earth: and hthe dragon stood before othe woman which was ready to be delivered, pfor to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5And she brought forth a man child, who was to qrule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was rcaught up unto God, and to his throne. 6And othe woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there sa thousand two hundred and threescore days.

7And there was war in heaven: tMichael and his angels fought against hthe dragon; and the dragon fought and uhis angels, 8And prevailed not; vneither was their place found any more in heaven. 9And the great hdragon wwas cast out, xthat old yserpent, called the Devil, and zSatan, yawhich deceiveth bthe whole world: che was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come dsalvation, and ddstrength, and ethe kingdom of our God, and the power of ehis Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, fwhich accused them before our God gday and night. 11And hthey overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by ithe word of their testimony; and kthey loved not their lives unto the death. 12Therefore lrejoice, ye heavens, and ye that mdwell in them. nWoe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for othe devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, pbecause he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

13And when the dragon saw that he was cast qunto the earth, he persecuted rthe woman which brought forth the man child. 14And to the woman were given stwo wings of a great eagle, tthat she might fly uinto the wilderness, tinto her place, where she is nourished vfor a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water was a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17And 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.

13And 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. 2And 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. 3And 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. 4And 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? 5And there was given unto him na mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and hpower was given unto him ||to ocontinue pforty and two months. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and qthem that dwell in heaven. 7And 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. 8And 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. 9xIf any man have an ear, let him hear. 10yHe 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.

11And I beheld bbanother beast coming up cout of the earth; and he had two horns dlike a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And 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. 13And hhe doeth great mwonders, iso that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14And 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. 15And 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. 16And 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: 17And 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. 18tHere 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.

14And 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. 2And 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: 3And 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. 4These 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. 5And nin their mouth was found no guile: for they are owithout fault before the throne of God.

6And 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, 7Saying 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. 8And 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. 9And 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, 10The 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: 11And 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. 12mHere is the patience of the saints: here are nthey that keep the commandments of God, and othe faith of Jesus. 13And 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.

14And 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. 15And 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. 16And bhe that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17And another angel came cout of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18And 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. 19And 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. 20And 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.

15And 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. 2And 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. 3And 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. 4rsWho 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.

5And after that I looked, and, behold, wthe temple of xthe tabernacle of the testimony yin heaven was opened: 6And bthe seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, zclothed in zzpure and white…
