Open English Translation REV Chapter 14

14 Then I looked and wow, the lamb was standing on Mt. Tsiyon (Zion), and with him were 144,000 people with his name and the name of his father written on their foreheads.[ref] 2 I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of lots of water and like the sound of great thunder, and the sound that I heard was like lots of people playing their harps. 3 They sang a new song in front of throne and the four living creatures and the elders, and no one was able to learn the song except the 144,000 who had been bought from the earth. 4 They are all virgins and they follow the lamb wherever he goes. Out of all people, these ones have been purchased as a first fruits offering for God and for the lamb, 5 and they tell no lies because they are innocent.[ref]

6 Then I saw another messenger flying through the air, having the good message that’s eternal to proclaim to those living on the earth, even to every nation and tribe and language and people, 7 saying in a loud voice, “Honour God and praise him, because his judgement time has come. Worship the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the springs of water.”

8 Then a second messenger followed, saying, “The powerful Bavel (Babylon) has fallen into ruins,[ref] the city that caused all the nations to drink from the wine of the passion of her immorality!”

9 Then a third messenger followed them, saying in a loud voice, “Those who worship the sea creature and its image, and receive a mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they’ll be on the receiving end of God’s anger which he’ll pour out undiluted,[ref] so they’ll be tormented with fire and burning sulfur[ref] in front of God’s messengers and of the lamb. 11 The smoke from their torment will continue through all the ages,[ref] yes, the ones worshipping the sea creature and its image and anyone who receives the mark of its name will have no rest, day or night. 12 So the believers who obey God’s commands and have faith in Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) must persevere on.

“Yes,” says the spirit, “so they will rest from their work, because the record of their activities will follow with them.”

14 Then I looked and wow, there was a white cloud, and someone who looked like a human was sitting on the cloud[ref] with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle (harvesting tool) in his hand. 15 Another messenger came out of the temple, calling out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud: “Extend your sickle and cut the grain because it’s harvest time—the harvest of the earth is ripe now.”[ref] 16 So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was harvested.

17 Then another messenger came out from the temple in heaven, also holding a sharp sickle.

18 And another messenger came from the altar, the one who had authority over the fire, and he shouted in a loud voice to the one with the sharp sickle, saying, “Extend your sharp sickle out and gather the clusters of the grapevine of the earth, because their grapes are ripe.” 19 So the messenger swung his sickle across the earth and harvested the grapevine of the earth, and he threw the grapes into the great wine-pressing pit which is God’s anger. 20 Then the grapes were trampled in the wine-pressing pit outside the city,[ref] and blood came out of it and flowed up to the height of a horse’s bridle for 300 kilometres.
