1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants what things it behooves to take place in quickness. And He signified it through having sent His angel to His servant, John, 2 who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, as much as he saw. 3 Blessed is the one reading, and those hearing the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things having been written in it; for the time is near. 4 John, To the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him being and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the One loving us and releasing us from our sins through His blood, 6 and He has made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father--to Him be the glory and the dominion to the ages of the ages. Amen. 7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Yes! Amen! 8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says Lord God, the One being, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty. 9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like that of a trumpet, 11 saying, "What you see, write in a book and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea." 12 And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands, One like the Son of Man, having been clothed to the feet, and having been girded about at the breasts with a golden sash. 14 Now His head and His hairs are white like wool, white as snow; and His eyes are like a flame of fire; 15 and His feet are like fine bronze, as having been refined in a furnace; and His voice is like the voice of many waters; 16 and He is holding in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp two-edged sword is going forth out of His mouth; and His face is like the sun shining in its full strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. And He placed His right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not. I am the First and the Last, 18 and the Living One. And I was dead, and behold I am living to the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of Death and of Hades. 19 Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to take place after these, 20 the mystery of the seven stars, which you saw on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. 2 To the messenger of the church in Ephesus write: These things says the One holding the seven stars in His right hand, walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands. 2 I know your works and your labor and endurance, and that you are not able to tolerate evil ones. And you have tested those claiming to be apostles and are not, and you have found them false. 3 And you have perseverance, and have endured for the sake of My name, and have not grown weary. 4 But I have against you that you have abandoned your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand out of its place, unless you should repent. 6 But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one overcoming, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. 8 And to the messenger of the church in Smyrna write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and came to life. 9 I know your tribulation and poverty--but you are rich--and the blasphemy of those claiming themselves to be Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you might be tested; and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give to you the crown of life. 11 The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one overcoming shall not be injured by the second death. 12 And to the messenger of the church in Pergamum write: These things says the One having the sharp two-edged sword. 13 I know where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is; and you hold fast to My name, and you have not denied My faith, even in the days of Antipas My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have some there holding the teaching of Balaam, who would teach Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. 15 So likewise you also have some holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent! But if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth. 17 The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one overcoming, I will give to him the manna having been hidden, and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone new a name having been written, which no one has known, except the one receiving it. 18 And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, the One having His eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished bronze. 19 I know your works, and your love and faith and service and perseverance; and your latter works are greater than the first. 20 But I have against you that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, the one calling herself a prophetess and teaching and misleading My servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I have given her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a sickbed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they shall repent of her deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches will know that I am the One searching affections and hearts; and I will give to each of you according to your works. 24 But I say to you, to the rest of those in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say: I will not cast upon you any other burden. 25 But hold fast to what you have until which time I might come. 26 And the one overcoming and keeping My works until the end, I will give to him authority over the nations, 27 and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken in pieces--just as I also have received from My Father. 28 And I will give to him the morning star. 29 The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 3 And to the messenger of the church in Sardis write: These things says the One having the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds, that you have the characterization that you are alive, and yet you are dead. 2 Be watching, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die; for I have not found your works having been completed in the sight of My God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard--and keep it and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come like a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you. 4 But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with Me in white, because they are worthy. 5 The one overcoming thus will be clothed in white garments. And I will never blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 7 And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy One, the True One, having the key of David, the One opening and no one will shut, and shutting and no one opens. 8 I know your deeds. Behold, I have set before you a door having been opened, which no one is able to shut it, because you have little power, and yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name. 9 Behold, I give those from the synagogue of Satan--those declaring themselves to be Jews, and are not, but they lie--behold, I will cause them that they will come and will worship before your feet, and they shall know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept the word of My patient endurance, I also will keep you out of the hour of the trial being about to come upon the whole inhabited world, to try those dwelling upon the earth. 11 I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown. 12 The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall not go out anymore. And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. 13 The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 14 And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of God's creation. 15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you would be cold or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of My mouth. 17 For you say, 'I am rich, and I have grown rich, and I have need of nothing.' And you do not realize that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may be clothed and the shame your of nakedness might not be made manifest, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19 As many as I might love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear My voice and open the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21 The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." 4 After these things I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven, and the first voice that I heard like a trumpet was speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show to you what it behooves to take place after these things." 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sitting upon the throne, 3 and the One sitting, in appearance was like jasper and carnelian stone. And a rainbow was around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 And around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and sitting on the thrones twenty-four elders, having been clothed in white garments; and on their heads, golden crowns. 5 And out of the throne come flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunderings. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures, being full of eyes in front and behind. 7 And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle flying. 8 And the four living creatures, each of them had six wings respectively, full of eyes all around and within; and they did not have rest day and night, saying: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, the One having been, and the One being, and the One coming." 9 And whenever the living creatures will give glory and honor and thanksgiving to the One sitting upon the throne, the One living to the ages of the ages, 10 the twenty-four elders will fall before the One sitting upon the throne, and they will worship the One living to the ages of the ages, and they will cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 "Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will, they existed and were created." 5 And I saw on the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne a scroll, having been written inside and on the back, having been sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to break its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the scroll, nor to see it. 4 And I was weeping loudly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, nor to see it. 5 And one of the elders says to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has overcome to open the scroll and its seven seals." 6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God having been sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took it out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne. 8 And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls being full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they are singing a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and You purchased to God by Your blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth." 11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and of the living creatures, and of the elders; and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying in a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb having been slain, to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!" 13 And I heard every creature which is in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and everything in them, saying: "To the One sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing and honor and glory and might to the ages of the ages." 14 And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped. 6 And I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of thunder, "Come!" 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse, and the one sitting on it having a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went forth overcoming, and that he might conquer. 3 And when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come!" 4 And another horse went forth, bright red; and to the one sitting on it, to him was granted to take the peace from the earth, and that they will slay one another; and a great sword was given to him. 5 And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come!" And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and the one sitting on it having a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius; and you should not injure the oil and the wine." 7 And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come!" 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse, and the one sitting on it, the name of him was Death, and Hades was following with him; and authority was given to them over the fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with plague, and by the beasts of the earth. 9 And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those having been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had upheld. 10 And they were crying in a loud voice, saying, "Until when, O Lord, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood from those dwelling upon the earth?" 11 And to each of them were given white robes, and it was said to them that they shall rest yet a little time, until their fellow servants would also be complete, and their brothers, those being about to be killed as they also had been. 12 And I saw when He opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs, being shaken by a great wind. 14 And heaven departed like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great ones, and the commanders, and the rich, and the powerful, and every slave and free, hid themselves in the caves, and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 because the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" 7 After these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel, having ascended from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God. And he cried in a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been given to them to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, "Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads." 4 And I heard the number of those having been sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: 5 Out of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand having been sealed, out of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, 6 out of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, 7 out of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Isaachar twelve thousand, 8 out of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand having been sealed. 9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no one was able to number it, out of every nation, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, having been clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands. 10 And they were crying out in a loud voice, saying: "Salvation to our God, the One sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, "Amen! Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, to our God, to the ages of the ages! Amen." 13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, "These having been clothed with the white robes, who are they, and from where have they come?" 14 And I said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Because of this, 'They are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One sitting on the throne will tabernacle over them. 16 they will not hunger any more, neither will they thirst anymore, nor shall the sun at all fall upon them, nor any scorching heat; 17 because the Lamb in the center of the throne will shepherd them, and He will lead them to fountains living of waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'" 8 And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel having a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and much incense was given to him, that he will offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense went up before God, with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it to the earth; and there were thunders, and rumblings, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels having the seven trumpets prepared themselves, that they might sound the trumpets. 7 And the first sounded his trumpet, and there was hail and fire having been mixed with blood, and it was cast upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. 8 And the second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. And a third of the sea became blood, 9 and a third of the creatures having life in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star fell out of heaven, burning like a torch. And it fell upon a third of the rivers, and upon the springs of waters. 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. 12 And the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them should be darkened, and the day should not appear for a third of it, and the night likewise. 13 And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying in a loud voice, "Woe! Woe! Woe to those dwelling on the earth, because of the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels being about to sound their trumpets!" 9 And the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star having fallen out of heaven to the earth, and the key of the pit of the abyss was given to it. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke, locusts came forth unto the earth, and power was given to them, like the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was said to them that they shall not harm the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men not having the seal of God on the foreheads. 5 And it was granted to them that they should not kill them, but that they shall torment them five months. And their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it might strike a man. 6 And in those days, men will seek death, and will not find it; and they will long to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the appearance of the locusts was like horses having been prepared for battle, and upon their heads were something like crowns, like gold; and their faces like the faces of men. 8 And they had hair like hair of women, and their teeth were like those of lions. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots of horses rushing into battle. 10 And they have tails and stingers like scorpions, and their power to injure men for five months is in their tails. 11 They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek, he has the name Apollyon. 12 The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes still are coming after these things. 13 And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel, the one having the trumpet, "Release the four angels, those having been bound at the great river Euphrates." 15 And the four angels having been prepared for the hour and day and month and year were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind. 16 And the number of the armies of the cavalry was twice ten thousand ten thousands; I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting on them, having fiery and hyacinthine and brimstone breastplates. And the heads of the horses were like heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues, a third of mankind was killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone proceeding out of their mouths. 19 For the powers of the horses are in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents having heads, and with them they injure. 20 And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues did not even repent of the works of their hands so that they will not worship the demons, and the golden and silver and bronze and stone and wooden idols, which are able neither to see, nor to hear, nor to walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts. 10 And I saw another mighty angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire, 2 and having in his hand a little scroll being open. And he placed his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the earth. 3 And he cried out in a loud voice as a lion roars. And when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voice. 4 And when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write. But I heard a voice out of heaven, saying, "Seal what the seven thunders have spoken, and do not write them." 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6 and he swore by the One living to the ages of the ages, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, "There will be no more delay! 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound the trumpet, then the mystery of God would be completed, as proclaimed to His servants, the prophets." 8 And the voice that I heard out of heaven was speaking with me again and saying, "Go, take the little scroll having been opened in the hand of the angel standing upon the sea and upon the land." 9 And I went to the angel, saying to him, "Give me the little scroll." And he says to me, "Take and eat it; and your stomach it will make bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey." 10 And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the angel, and I ate it; and it was sweet as honey in my mouth; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11 And they say to me, "It is necessary for you to prophesy again concerning many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings." 11 And a measuring rod like a staff was given to me, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those worshiping in it. 2 And leave out the courtyard outside the temple, and do not measure it, because it has been given up to the nations, and they will trample upon the holy city forty and two months. 3 And I will grant to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone should desire to harm them, fire goes out of their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone should desire to harm them, thus it is necessary for him to be killed. 6 These have the power to shut the sky, so that no rain shall fall in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they might desire. 7 And when they shall have completed their testimony, the beast coming up out of the abyss will make war with them, and will overcome them, and will kill them. 8 And their body will be upon the street of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 And those of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze upon their bodies three and a half days, and they will not allow their bodies to be put into a tomb. 10 And those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and make merry, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets have tormented those dwelling upon the earth. 11 And after the three and a half days, the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those beholding them. 12 And they heard a great voice out of heaven, saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them. 13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14 The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly. 15 And the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were great voices in heaven, saying: "The kingdom of the world has become that of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign to the ages of the ages." 16 And the twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell upon their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying: "We give thanks to You, Lord God Almighty, the One being and who was, that You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign. 18 And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to Your servants, the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the earth." 19 And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. 12 And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars, 2 and having in womb. And she cries out, being in travail, and being in pain to bring forth. 3 And another sign was seen in heaven, and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads, seven diadems. 4 And his tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stands before the woman being about to bring forth, so that when she should bring forth, he might devour her child. 5 And she brought forth a male son, who is about to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God, and to His throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place having been prepared there by God, so that they should nourish her there one thousand two hundred sixty days. 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels warred back. 8 And he did not have strength, nor was found a place for them any longer in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown out, the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, deceiving the whole inhabited world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ have come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night. 11 And they have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony; and they have not loved their life unto death. 12 Because of this, rejoice O heavens, and those dwelling in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great fury, knowing that he has a short time." 13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who had brought forth the male child. 14 And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly from the face of the serpent into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a time. 15 And out of his mouth the serpent cast water as a river after the woman, so that he might cause her to be carried away by a flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river, which the dragon had cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was angry with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her children keeping the commandments of God and holding the testimony of Jesus. And he stood upon the sand of the sea. 13 And I saw rising out of the sea a beast, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on its horns, ten diadems, and upon its heads, names of blasphemy. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, and its feet like a bear's, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority. 3 And one of its heads was as having been slain to death. And its wound of death was healed, and the whole earth marveled after the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, who had given authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? And who is able to make war against it?" 5 And a mouth was given to it, speaking great things and blasphemy, and it was given authority to act forty and two months. 6 And it opened its mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, those dwelling in heaven. 7 And there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And authority was given to it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all dwelling on the earth will worship it, of whom their names have not been written from the founding of the world in the book of life of the Lamb having been slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 "If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he goes; If anyone is to be killed with the sword, by the sword it is necessary for him to be killed." Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints. 11 And I saw another beast rising out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, and it was speaking like a dragon. 12 And it exercises all the authority of the first beast in the presence of it, and causes the earth and those dwelling in it, that they will worship the first beast, of whom its fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it works great signs, so that it should even cause fire out of heaven to come down to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And it deceives those dwelling on the earth, by reason of the signs that were given to it to perform before the beast, telling those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast that has the wound of the sword and has lived. 15 And there was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, so that image of the beast also should speak, and should cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast would be killed. 16 And it causes all the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the servants, that it should give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and that no one should be able to buy or to sell, if not the one having the mark--the name of the beast, or the number of its name. 18 Here is the wisdom. The one having understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is a man's number, and its number is six hundred sixty-six. 14 And I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing upon Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred forty-four thousand having His name and the name of His Father having been written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice out of heaven like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of loud thunder. And the voice that I heard was like that of harpists harping with their harps. 3 And they are singing as a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders. And no one was able to learn the song, except the one hundred forty-four thousand having been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they who have not been defiled with women; for they are pure, these following the Lamb wherever He shall go. These have been redeemed out from men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth no lie was found; they are blameless. 6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting glad tidings to preach upon those dwelling on the earth, and upon every nation and tribe and tongue and people, 7 saying in a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. And worship the One having made heaven, and the earth, and sea, and springs of waters." 8 And another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Fallen, Fallen is Babylon the great, who has given all the Gentiles to drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality." 9 And another, a third angel, followed them, saying in loud a voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the anger of God, having been mixed undiluted in the cup of His wrath; and he will be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages; and those worshiping the beast and its image have no rest day and night, and if anyone receives the mark of its name." 12 Here is the endurance of the saints, those keeping the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice out of heaven, saying "Write, 'Blessed are the dead dying in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "so that they will rest from their labors; for their works follow with them." 14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud is sitting One like 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 in a loud voice to the One sitting on the cloud, "Put forth Your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth has ripened." 16 And the One sitting upon the cloud put forth His sickle upon the earth, and the earth was harvested. 17 And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel having authority over the fire came out of the altar, and he called in a loud cry to the one having the sharp sickle, saying, "Put forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because its grapes have fully ripened." 19 And the angel put forth his sickle to the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast them into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed out of the winepress, as high as the bridles of the horses, to the distance of one thousand six hundred stadia. 15 And I saw another great and wonderful sign in heaven: seven angels, having seven plagues--the last, because in them the wrath of God was completed. 2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those conquering over the beast, and over its image, and over the number of its name, standing upon the sea of glass, having harps of God. 3 And they are singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and wonderful are Your works, Lord God the Almighty! Righteous and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! 4 Who should not fear You, O Lord, and will glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all the nations will come and will worship before You, because Your righteous acts have been revealed." 5 And after these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. 6 And the seven angels having the seven plagues came forth out of the temple, having been clothed in pure, bright linen, and having been girded with golden sashes around the chests. 7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, the One living to the ages of the ages. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. 16 And I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out into the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God." 2 And the first departed and poured out his bowl into the earth, and an evil and grievous sore came upon the men having the mark of the beast and those worshiping its image. 3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood, as of one dead; and every living soul that was in the sea died. 4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of the waters, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying: "Righteous are You the One being, and having been, O holy One, because You have judged these things, 6 because they have poured out the blood of saints and of prophets, and You have given to them blood to drink, they are worthy." 7 And I heard the altar saying: "Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments." 8 And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun, and there was given to it to scorch men with fire. 9 And the men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, the One having authority over these plagues; and they did not repent to give Him glory. 10 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues for the distress, 11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven on account of their distresses, and on account of their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. 12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way might be prepared of the kings of the rising of the sun. 13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, like frogs; 14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go forth to the kings of the whole inhabited world, to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God the Almighty. 15 "Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one watching and keeping his garments, so that he should not walk naked and they might see his shame." 16 And he gathered them together unto the place called in Hebrew Armageddon. 17 And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out from the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" 18 And there were flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since men were upon the earth--so great was the earthquake, so mighty, 19 and the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath. 20 And every island fled, and mountains were not to be found. 21 And a great hail, about a talent weight, comes down out of heaven upon the men. And the men blasphemed God on account of the plague of the hail, for the plague of it is exceedingly severe. 17 And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, the one sitting upon many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and those dwelling on the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality." 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast being full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand, being full of abominations and the impurity of her sexual immorality. 5 And upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery: Babylon the Great, the mother of the prostitutes, and of the abominations of the earth. 6 And I saw the woman being drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And having seen her, I marveled with great wonder. 7 And the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast carrying her, having the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go into destruction; and those dwelling on the earth whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will wonder, seeing the beast which was, and is not, and yet will be. 9 Here is the mind having wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits on them; 10 and there are seven kings. The five are fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come; and when he shall have come, it behooves him to remain a little while. 11 And the beast which was, and is not, is also himself an eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into destruction. 12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour, along with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and they shall give up their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those with Him are called and chosen and faithful." 15 And he says to me, "The waters that you saw where the prostitute sits are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. 16 And the ten horns that you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her with fire. 17 For God has put into their hearts to accomplish His purpose, and to do one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled. 18 And the woman whom you saw is the great city, having kingship over the kings of the earth." 18 After these things I saw another angel descending out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illuminated from his glory. 2 And he cried out in a mighty voice, saying: "Fallen, Fallen is Babylon the great! And she has become a habitation of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, and a prison of every unclean creature also having been hated. 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality; and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her; and the merchants of the earth have been enriched through the power of her luxury." 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: "Come out of her, my people, so that you may not have fellowship in her sins, and so that you may not receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have been heaped as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Give back to her as she also has rendered; and pay back double to her, twofold according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix double to her. 7 So much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give to her as much torment and misery, because in her heart she says, 'I sit as a queen, and I am never a widow, and never shall I see mourning.' 8 Because of this, her plagues will come in one day, death and misery and famine, and she will be burned up with fire, because mighty is the Lord God, the One having judged her." 9 And the kings of the earth, the ones having committed sexual immorality and having lived luxuriously with her, will weep and will wail for her when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying: "Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come." 11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, because no one buys their cargo any longer-- 12 cargo of gold, and of silver, and of precious stone, and of pearls; and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk, and of scarlet; and all thyine wood and of every article of ivory and every article of most precious wood; and of bronze, and of iron, and of marble; 13 and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and myrrh, and frankincense; and wine, and oil, and finest flour, and wheat; and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots; and of slaves and souls of men. 14 "And the ripe fruits of the desire of your soul are departed from you, and all the sumptuous things and the splendid things have departed from you, and they will not find them any longer." 15 The merchants of these things having been enriched from her will stand from afar, weeping and mourning because of the fear of her torment, 16 saying: "Woe, woe, the great city, having been clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and having been adorned with gold and precious stone and pearl! 17 For in one hour such great wealth has been brought to desolation." And every shipmaster, and all those sailing to a place, and sailors, and as many as trade by the sea, stood at a distance, 18 and were crying out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?' 19 And they cast dust upon their heads, and they were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying: "Woe, woe, the great city, in which all those having ships in the sea were enriched through her wealth! For in one hour she has been brought to desolation." 20 "Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has judged for you the judgment against her." 21 And one mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying: "Thus Babylon will be cast down with violence, the great city, and shall never be found any longer. 22 And the sound of harpists and musicians, and flute players and trumpeters, shall never be heard in you any longer. And any craftsmen of any craft shall never be found in you any longer, and the sound of a millstone shall never be heard in you any longer. 23 And the light of lamp shall never shine in you any longer, and the voice of a bridegroom and a bride shall never be heard in you any longer. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because by your sorcery all the nations were deceived." 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all those having been slain on the earth. 19 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out: "Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power to our God! 2 For His judgments are true and righteous, because He has judged the great prostitute, who had corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His servants, out of her hand." 3 And a second time they said: "Hallelujah! And her smoke goes up to the ages of the ages." 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, the One sitting on the throne, saying: "Amen, Hallelujah!" 5 And a voice came forth from the throne, saying: "Praise our God, all you His servants, and those fearing Him, the small and the great!" 6 And I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the sound of many waters, and like a sound of mighty thunders, saying: "Hallelujah! For the Lord God our Almighty has reigned. 7 We should rejoice and should exult and will give to Him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. 8 And it was given to her that she should be clothed in bright, pure, fine linen." For the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 9 And he says to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those having been invited to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb.'" And he says to me, "These are the true words of God." 10 And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, "See that you not do this. I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers, holding the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." 11 And I saw heaven having been opened, and behold, a white horse, and the One sitting upon it called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 Now His eyes are like a flame of fire, and upon His head many diadems, having a name having been written, which no one except He Himself knows, 13 and having been clothed with a garment having been dipped in blood. And His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies who were in heaven, having been clothed in pure, white, fine linen were following Him upon white horses. 15 And out of His mouth goes forth a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations; and He will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the press of the wine of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And He has a name having been written upon the robe and upon His thigh: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 17 And I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in loud a voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, "Come, gather yourselves unto the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of horses and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all, both free and slaves, and small and great." 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, having been gathered together to make war with the One sitting on the horse and with His army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet, the one having done the signs before him, by which he deceived those having received the mark of the beast and those worshiping its image. The two were cast living into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword of the One sitting on the horse having gone forth out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled with their flesh. 20 And I saw an angel descending out of heaven, holding in his hand the key of the Abyss, and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 And he cast him into the Abyss, and shut and sealed it over him, so that he should not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed. After these things it is necessary for him to be released for a little time. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those having been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not take the mark upon the forehead, and upon their hand. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years shall have been completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is the one having a part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years shall have been completed, Satan will be released out of his prison, 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together unto the war, of whom is the number of them like the sand of the sea. 9 And they marched up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the city having been beloved. But fire came down out of heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, the one deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and of sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet also are; and they will be tormented day and night to the ages of the ages. 11 And I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged out of the things having been written in the books, according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and each of them were judged according to their works. 14 And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone was not found having been written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. 21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride having been 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 tabernacle with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them as their God. 4 And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more nor mourning nor crying nor pain; they will be no more, because the former things have passed away." 5 And the One sitting on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He says, "Write this, because these words are faithful and true." 6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one thirsting I will give of the spring of the water of life freely. 7 The one overcoming will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. 8 But to the cowardly and unbelieving and having become abominable and murderers and the sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their portion is in the lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." 9 And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls being full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone being clear as crystal, 12 having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names having been inscribed which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. 13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and 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 twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And the one speaking with me had a golden measuring reed, so that he could measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. 16 And the city lies foursquare, and its length the same as also the width. And he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand stadia. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of man, that is of the angel. 18 And the structure of its wall was jasper, and the city pure gold, like clear glass, 19 the foundations of the wall of the city having been adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates respectively was of one pearl, and the street of the city pure gold, transparent as glass. 22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they should shine in it; for the glory of God enlightened it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 And the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. 25 And its gates shall not be shut by day, for there will be no night there. 26 And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 And anything defiling, and those practicing abomination and a lie, never shall enter into it; only those having been written in the Lamb's book of life. 22 And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street and of the river, on this side and on that side, was a tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 And there will not be any curse any longer. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him. 4 And they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 And there will be no night there, and they have no need of the light of a lamp and of the light of the sun, because the Lord God will enlighten upon them, and they will reign to the ages of the ages. 6 And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show His servants the things that must come to pass in quickness." 7 "And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book." 8 And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing these things me. 9 And he says to me, "See that you not do this. I am your fellow servant, and with your brothers the prophets, and with those keeping the words of this book. Worship God!" 10 And he says to me, "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is near. 11 The one being unrighteous, let him be unrighteous still; and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he who is righteous, let him practice righteousness still; and he who is holy, let him be holy still." 12 "Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each as is his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." 14 Blessed are those washing their robes, that their right will be to the tree of life, and they shall enter into the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving and practicing falsehood. 16 "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to all of you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star." 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And the one hearing, let him say, "Come!" And the one thirsting let him come; the one desiring, let him take freely the water of life. 18 I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone should add to these things, God will add unto him the plagues having been written in this book. 19 And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, of those having been written in this book. 20 The One testifying these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
