Revelation  


14 : 1 Then I looked, and behold, onMount Zionstood the Lamb, and with him144,000 whohad his name and his Father's name writtenon their foreheads.
14 : 2 And I heard a voice from heavenlike the roar of many waters andlike the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound ofharpists playing on their harps,
14 : 3 and they were singinga new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders.No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.
14 : 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, forthey are virgins. It is thesewho follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind asfirstfruits for God and the Lamb,
14 : 5 andin their mouth no lie was found, for they areblameless.
14 : 6 Then I saw another angelflying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim tothose who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.
14 : 7 And he said with a loud voice,Fear God andgive him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, andworship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and thesprings of water.
14 : 8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying,Fallen, fallen isBabylon the great,she who made all nations drinkthe wine of the passionof her sexual immorality.
14 : 9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice,If anyoneworships the beast and its image and receivesa mark on his forehead or on his hand,
14 : 10 he also will drinkthe wine of God's wrath,poured full strength into the cup of his anger, andhe will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
14 : 11 Andthe smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, andthey have no rest, day or night, theseworshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.
14 : 12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those whokeep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.
14 : 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying,Write this:Blessed are the deadwho die in the Lord from now on.Blessed indeed,says the Spirit,that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!
14 : 14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud onelike a son of man,with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.
14 : 15 And another angelcame out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud,Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, forthe harvest of the earth is fully ripe.
14 : 16 So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped.
14 : 17 Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.
14 : 18 And another angel came out from the altar,the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle,Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth,for its grapes are ripe.
14 : 19 So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the greatwinepress of the wrath of God.
14 : 20 Andthe winepress was troddenoutside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high asa horse's bridle, for 1,600 stadia.
