Revelation 14:6–14

The Proclamations of Three Angels

⁶Then I saw another angel ^mflying in the midst of heaven, ⁿhaving the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—^oto every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—⁷saying with a loud voice, ^p“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; ^qand worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

⁸And another angel followed, saying, ^r“Babylon ⁶is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because ^sshe has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

⁹Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ^t“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his ^umark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰he himself ^vshall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is ^wpoured out full strength into ^xthe cup of His indignation. ^yHe shall be tormented with ^zfire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹And ^athe smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

^12bHere is the ⁷patience of the saints; ^chere ⁸are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

¹³Then I heard a voice from heaven saying ⁹to me, “Write: ^d‘Blessed are the dead ^ewho die in the Lord from now on.’ ”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, ^f“that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow ^gthem.”

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

¹⁴Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
