Revelation 1
1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his
servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by
his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of
the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3
Blessed is
he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those
things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. 4 John to the
seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which
is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are
before his throne; 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and
the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto
him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath
made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion
for ever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall
see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall
wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty. 9
I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation,
and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called
Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was
in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a
trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What
thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in
Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and
unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see
the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden
candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the
Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps
with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as
white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like
unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of
many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his
mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in
his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid
his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the
last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19 Write the things
which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be
hereafter; 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right
hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the
seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven
churches.
Revelation 2
1
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that
holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven
golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience,
and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which
say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast
borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not
fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent,
and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove
thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast,
that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that
hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God. 8
And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These
things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9 I know
thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the
blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of
Satan. 10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the
devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall
have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a
crown of life. 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second
death. 12
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things
saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and
where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name,
and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful
martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few
things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of
Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel,
to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast
thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I
hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight
against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to
eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new
name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 18
And unto
the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God,
who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine
brass; 19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy
patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. 20
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that
woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my
servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into
great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her
children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which
searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according
to your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many
as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they
speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 25 But that which ye have
already hold fast till I come. 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my
works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 And he
shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be
broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him
the morning star. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
Revelation 3
1
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he
that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that
thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and
strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found
thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and
heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come
on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon
thee. 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their
garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He
that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot
out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my
Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches. 7
And to the angel of the church in
Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that
hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and
no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open
door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my
word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the
synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I
will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have
loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will
keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to
try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast
which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I
make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will
write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is
new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write
upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches. 14
And unto the angel of the church of the
Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness,
the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art
neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou
art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of
nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and
blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that
the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve,
that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man
hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my
throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his
throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
Revelation 4
1
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the
first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which
said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven,
and one sat on the throne. 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper
and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight
like unto an emerald. 4 And round about the throne were four and twenty
seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white
raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne
proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of
fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 And
before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst
of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before
and behind. 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like
a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a
flying eagle. 8
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him;
and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying,
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9 And
when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the
throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down
before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and
ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O
Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things,
and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Revelation 5
1
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written
within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong
angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to
loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under
the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept
much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to
look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the
Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst
of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a
Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took
the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he
had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before
the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which
are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art
worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and
hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and
people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and
we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many
angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of
them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power,
and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth,
and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing,
and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and
unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the
four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and
ever.
Revelation 6
1
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were
the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I
saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was
given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3
And when he
had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And
there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat
thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and
there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third
seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black
horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I
heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a
penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil
and the wine. 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of
the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power
was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and
with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. 9
And when he
had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were
slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they
cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not
judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white
robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they
should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their
brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 12 And I
beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as
blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the
heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and
island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the
great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and
every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks
of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of
the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to
stand?
Revelation 7
1
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of
the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on
the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel
ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a
loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we
have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the
number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and
four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5 Of the tribe of
Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of
Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the
tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of
the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve
thousand. 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man
could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood
before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in
their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God
which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood
round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell
before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen:
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and
might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13
And one of the elders
answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and
whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to
me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their
robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they
before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that
sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any
heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes.
Revelation 8
1
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about
the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before
God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and
stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much
incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden
altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came
with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's
hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar,
and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and
lightnings, and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels which had the seven
trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 7
The first angel sounded, and there
followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth:
and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire
was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the
third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the
third part of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and
there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon
the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the
name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became
wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 12
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the
third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of
them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night
likewise. 13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet
to sound!
Revelation 9
1
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the
earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened
the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a
great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of
the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto
them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was
commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any
green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God
in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill
them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as
the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall
men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall
flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses
prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and
their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of
women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was
as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had
tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power
was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the
angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in
the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. 12 One woe is past; and, behold,
there come two woes more hereafter. 13
And the sixth angel sounded, and I
heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are
bound in the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, which
were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the
third part of men. 16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two
hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw
the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of
fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the
heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and
brimstone. 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire,
and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like
unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 20 And the rest of
the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of
their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver,
and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor
walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor
of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 10
1
And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a
cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and
his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and
he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 3 And
cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven
thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered
their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them
not. 5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted
up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who
created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things
that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there
should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh
angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as
he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8
And the voice which I heard
from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is
open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little
book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly
bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little
book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as
honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11 And he said
unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues,
and kings.
Revelation 11
1
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood,
saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that
worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and
measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they
tread under foot forty and two months. 3
And I will give power unto my two
witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two
candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if any man will hurt
them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if
any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have power
to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power
over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as
often as they will. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the
beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and
shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the
street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where
also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and
shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that
dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send
gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on
the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God
entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them
which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them,
Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies
beheld them. 13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth
part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:
and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14
The
second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. 15 And the
seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ;
and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders,
which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped
God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and
wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast
reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time
of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward
unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name,
small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 19 And
the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark
of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an
earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 12
1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun,
and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And
she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great
red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his
heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did
cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to
be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she
brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and
her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled
into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should
feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 7 And there was
war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon
fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any
more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called
the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the
earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice
saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not
their lives unto the death. 12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that
dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil
is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a
short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he
persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman
were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness,
into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,
from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water
as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the
flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the
dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her
seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
Revelation 13
1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the
sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of
a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great
authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his
deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And
they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped
the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with
him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to
make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all
kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him
hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and
the faith of the saints. 11
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he
exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth
and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was
healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on
the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight
of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an
image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he
had power to give life unto 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. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let
him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number
of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 14
1
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an
hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their
foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping
with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne,
and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but
the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the
earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are
virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were
redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the
throne of God. 6
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having
the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every
nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear
God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship
him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that
great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication. 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his
forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,
and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth
up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast
and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the
patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus. 13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow
them. 14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat
like unto 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 with a loud
voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time
is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he
that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was
reaped. 17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he
also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar,
which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp
sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine
of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel thrust in his
sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the
great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden without
the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by
the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 15
1
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels
having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten
the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the
number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3 And
they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb,
saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are
thy ways, thou King of saints. 4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify
thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before
thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. 5
And after that I looked, and,
behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 6
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed
in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden
girdles. 7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden
vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. 8 And the
temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no
man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven
angels were fulfilled.
Revelation 16
1
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go
your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And
the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome
and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them
which worshipped his image. 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon
the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in
the sea. 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the
waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be,
because thou hast judged thus. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And
I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and
righteous are thy judgments. 8
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon
the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were
scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over
these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10 And the fifth
angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full
of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the
God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their
deeds. 12
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the
east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of
the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils,
working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole
world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them
together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 17
And the
seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out
of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there
were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake,
such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so
great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of
the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto
her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island
fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a
great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was
exceeding great.
Revelation 17
1
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and
talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment
of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of
the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been
made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the
spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman
was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious
stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and
filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with
the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration. 7
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I
will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her,
which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was,
and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in
the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast
that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there
are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and
when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was,
and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into
perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the
beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto
the beast. 14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are
with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 15 And he saith unto me, The
waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes,
and nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the
beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and
shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put in their
hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast,
until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18 And the woman which thou sawest
is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Revelation 18
1
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having
great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,
and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a
cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the
wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the
abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God
hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and
double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled
fill to her double. 7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived
deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I
sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her
plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be
utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9
And
the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously
with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of
her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas,
alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment
come. 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no
man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and
silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and
silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all
manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil,
and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and
slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are
departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed
from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these
things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her
torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city,
that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold,
and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come
to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and
as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke
of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they
cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas,
that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason
of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 20 Rejoice over her,
thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on
her. 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast
it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be
thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22 And the voice of harpers,
and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in
thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in
thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of
the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy
merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations
deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and
of all that were slain upon the earth.
Revelation 19
1
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven,
saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our
God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great
whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the
blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her
smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the
four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;
Alleluia. 5
And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all
ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as
it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as
the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent
reigneth. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the
marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to
her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for
the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write,
Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he
saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet
to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the
testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11
And I saw heaven opened,
and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame
of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no
man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in
blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were
in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and
clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should
smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth
the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on
his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF
LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud
voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the
flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the
flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both
free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of
the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat
on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him
the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them
that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And
the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their
flesh.
Revelation 20
1
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless
pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And
cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that
he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be
fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4 And I saw
thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the
souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of
God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had
received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not
again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests
of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when
the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the
earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is
as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and
compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down
from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived
them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11
And
I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth
and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw
the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out
of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up
the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their
works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21
1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first
earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy
city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride
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 dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are
true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain
of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 9
And there came unto me
one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last
plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride,
the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high
mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of
heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a
stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had a
wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and
names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children
of Israel: 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; 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 names of the twelve apostles of the
Lamb. 15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city,
and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16 And the city lieth
foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city
with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the
height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and
forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the
angel. 18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was
pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the
city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was
jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an
emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite;
the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh,
a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve
pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure
gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the
Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no
need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did
lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them
which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do
bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be
shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall
bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no
wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of
life.
Revelation 22

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the
street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which
bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves
of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more
curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants
shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in
their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no
candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they
shall reign for ever and ever. 6
And he said unto me, These sayings are
faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew
unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, I come
quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this
book. 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and
seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these
things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy
fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the
sayings of this book: worship God. 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the
sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is
unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy
still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is
holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they
that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may
enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and
sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth
and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these
things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright
and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him
take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth
the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if
any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall
take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from
the things which are written in this book. 20
He which testifieth these
things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
