Rev. 13:1‑18:24• 1And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
2And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet as a bear's, and his mouth as a lion's mouth; and the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.
3And {i}I saw{/i} one of his heads as slain unto death; and his deadly wound was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast.
4And they worshipped the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who {i}is{/i} like the beast? and who is able to make war with him?
5And there was given him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemy; and there was given him authority to work forty-two months.
6And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle [and] those that tabernacle in the heaven.
7And it was given him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
8And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, of whom the name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain, from {i}the{/i} world's foundation.
9If Anyone hath an ear, let him hear.
10If Anyone {i}is{/i} for captivity, into captivity he goeth; if Anyone will kill with sword, with sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11And I saw another beast rising up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And all the authority of the first beast he exerciseth before him, and causeth the earth and those that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13And he doeth great signs, so that even fire he maketh come down out of the heaven unto the earth before men;
14and he deceiveth those that dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to do before the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who hath the wound of the sword and lived.
15And it was given him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause [that] as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16And he causeth all, the little and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that they should give them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead,
17and that no one may be able to buy or sell, save he that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and his number {i}is{/i} 666.
1And I saw, and, behold, the Lamb standing upon the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty {i}and{/i} four thousand, having his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
2And I heard a voice out of the heaven, as a voice of many waters and as a voice of loud thunder: and the voice which I heard {i}was{/i} as of harpers harping with their harps;
3and they sing [as] a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song but the hundred forty {i}and{/i} four thousand that were bought from the earth.
4These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are virgins. These [are] they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were bought from among men, firstfruits to God and to the Lamb:
5and in their mouth was found no falsehood; [for] they are blameless.
6And I saw [another] angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting gospel to announce unto those that sit on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people,
7saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and [the] sea and fountains of waters.
8And another, a second angel followed, saying, Fallen [fallen] is Babylon the great, who hath given all the nations to drink of the wine of the fury of her fornication.
9And another, a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If Anyone worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead or upon his hand,
10even he shall drink of the wine of the indignation of God that is mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb:
11and the smoke of their torment riseth up unto the ages of the ages; and they have no rest day and night, that worship the beast and his image, and if Anyone receiveth the mark of his name.
12Here is the patience of the saints, that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13And I heard a voice out of the heaven, saying, Write, Blessed {i}are{/i} the dead that die in {i}the{/i} Lord henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their toils; for their works follow with them.
14And I saw, and, behold, a white cloud; and upon the cloud {i}I saw one{/i} sitting like {i}the{/i} Son of man, having upon his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15And another angel came forth out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send thy sickle and reap; for the time to reap hath come: for the harvest of the earth is dried up.
16And he that sat upon the cloud put his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17And another angel came forth out of the temple that is in the heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18And another angel came forth out of the altar, having authority over the fire, and cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19And the angel put his sickle unto the earth, and gathered the fruit of the vine of the earth, and cast {i}it{/i} into the great winepress of the indignation of God.
20And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came forth out of the winepress unto the bridles of the horses, a thousand six hundred stadia off.
1And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful: seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them was finished the indignation of God.
2And I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those that won the victory over the beast, and over his image and over the number of his name, standing upon the sea of glass, having harps of God.
3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful {i}are{/i} thy works, O Lord God the Almighty; just and true {i}are{/i} thy ways, thou King of the nations.
4Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for {i}thou{/i} only {i}art{/i} holy: for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteousnesses were manifested.
5And after these things I saw, and there was opened the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven;
6and the seven angels that had the seven plagues came [out of the temple], clad in pure bright linen, and girt round about their breasts with golden girdles.
7And one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the indignation of God that liveth unto the ages of the ages.
8And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, from his power; and no one was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
1And I heard a loud voice [out of the temple] saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the seven bowls of the indignation of God unto the earth.
2And the first went away and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came an evil and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and {i}upon{/i} those that worshipped his image.
3And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, those in the sea.
4And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and [into] the fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5And I heard the angel of the waters say, Righteous art thou that art and that wast holy, because thou hast judged these things.
6For they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou gavest them blood to drink: they are worthy.
7And I heard the altar say, Yea, O Lord God the Almighty, true and righteous {i}are{/i} thy judgments.
8And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given him to scorch men with fire.
9And the men were scorched with great scorching, and blasphemed the name of God that had authority over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.
10And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for the pain,
11and blasphemed the God of the heaven for their pains and for their sores, and repented not of their works.
12And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings that are from {i}the{/i} east might be prepared.
13And I saw 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 as frogs.
14For they are spirits of demons working signs, who go forth unto the kings of the whole habitable {i}world{/i} to gather them together unto the war of [that] great day of God the Almighty.
15(Behold, I come as a thief: blessed {i}is{/i} he that watcheth, and keepeth his raiment, that he walk not naked, and they see {i}not{/i} his shame.)
16And they gathered them together unto the place that is called in Hebrew Harmagedon.
17And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a loud voice from the temple [of the heaven], from the throne, saying, It is done.
18And there were lightnings and voices and thunders, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since a man was on the earth (such an earthquake, so great.
19And the great city became 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 indignation of his wrath.
20And every island fled away, and no mountains were found.
21And great hail as of a talent's weight cometh down out of the heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail; because the plague thereof is exceeding great.
1And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spoke with me, saying, Come hither; I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth on [the] many waters;
2with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those that inhabit the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3And he carried me away in {i}the{/i} Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast full of [the] names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4And the woman was clothed with purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication,
5and upon her forehead a name written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus; and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder.
7And the angel said to me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that beareth her, that hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
8The beast which thou sawest was and is not, and is to rise up out of the abyss and go into perdition: and they shall wonder that dwell on the earth, of whom the name is not written in the book of life from {i}the{/i} world's foundation, when they behold the beast that he was and is not and shall be present.
9Here {i}is{/i} the mind that hath wisdom.
10The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sitteth on them; and they are seven kings: five are fallen, one is, the other is not yet come; and when he shall have come, he must continue a short {i}space{/i}.
11And the beast which was and is not, even he is an eighth and is of the seven and goeth into perdition.
12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings which have not yet received a kingdom; but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
13These have one mind and give their power and authority to the beast.
14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them (for he is Lord of lords and King of kings), and those that are with him, called and chosen and faithful.
15And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
16And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh and shall burn her with fire.
17For God hath put into their hearts to accomplish his mind, and to accomplish one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God shall be finished.
18And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city that hath kingship over the kings of the earth.
1After these things I saw another angel coming down out of the heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illumined with his glory.
2And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Fallen [fallen] is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a haunt of every unclean spirit, and a haunt of every unclean and hated bird.
3For of the wine of the fury of her fornication all the nations drank, and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich by the power of her luxury.
4And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:
5for her sins have reached unto the heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6Render to her as she also rendered, and double [the] double according to her works: in the cup which she mixed mix to her double.
7How much she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, so much torment and mourning give her. Because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen and am no widow and shall in no wise see mourning;
8therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death and mourning and famine; and she shall be utterly burnt with fire: for strong {i}is{/i} the Lord God that judged her.
9And the kings of the earth that committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her shall weep and wail on account of her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
10standing afar off because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour came thy judgment.
11And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn on account of her; for their lading no one buyeth anymore—a
12lading of gold and of silver and of precious stone and of pearl and of fine linen and of purple and of silk and of scarlet; and all thyine wood and all furniture of ivory and all furniture of most precious wood, and of brass and of iron and of marble;
13and cinnamon and amomum and incense and unguent and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and of horses and of chariots and of bodies and souls of men.
14And the fruits of the desire of thy soul have departed from thee, and all the sumptuous and the bright things have perished from thee, and never shall they find them anymore.
15The merchants of these things that became rich by her shall stand afar off because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls!
17for in one hour were so great riches made desolate. And every pilot and every voyager and sailors and as many as trade by the sea stood afar off,
18and cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What {i}city is{/i} like the great city!
19And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all that had ships in the sea became rich by reason of her costliness! for in one hour was she made desolate.
20Rejoice over her, O heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets: for God hath judged your judgment on her.
21And a strong angel took up a stone as a great millstone, and cast {i}it{/i} into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall Babylon the great city be cast down, and shall in no wise be found more.
22And no voice of harpers and musicians and pipers and trumpeters shall be heard any more in thee; and no craftsman of any craft shall be found any more in thee; and no sound of millstone shall be heard any more in thee;
23and no light of lamp shall shine any more in thee; and no voice of bridegroom and of bride shall be heard any more in thee; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery were all the nations deceived.
24And in her the blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all that were slain on the earth. (Rev. 13:1‑18:24)
