1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his servants the things that must soon take place; and he declared it by sending it by his angel to his servant John,
2 who has borne witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, and to all the things that he has seen.
3 Blessed is he who reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things written in it; because the time is near.
4 John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits that are before his throne;
5 and of Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loved us, and washed us from our sins in his blood,
6 and made us kings and priests to God, his Father; To him be glory and empire forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Yes, amen.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, your brother, and your partner in the tribulation, in the kingdom, and in the patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
13 and in the middle of the seven lampstands, one like the Son of Man, clothed in a garment reaching down to the feet, and girded around the chest with a golden sash.
11 which said: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches that are in Asia: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me; and when I returned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
14 His head and hair were white as white wool, as white as snow; her eyes like a flame of fire;
15 and her feet were like polished bronze, shining as in a furnace; and his voice is like the sound of many waters.
16 He had seven stars in his right hand; From her mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and his face was like the sun when it shines in its strength.
17 When I saw him, I fell as if dead at his feet. And he put his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last;
18 and he who is alive, and was dead; but behold, I live forever and ever, amen. And I have the keys to death and Hades.
19 Write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will be after these.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you have seen are the seven churches.
1 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: He who has the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:
2 I know your works, and your hard work and patience; and that you cannot bear the wicked, and you have tested those who say they are apostles, and they are not, and you have found them to be liars;
3 and you have suffered, and you have been patient, and you have worked hard for my name’s sake, and you have not fainted.
4 But I have it against you, that you have left your first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works; If not, I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
6 But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
8 And write to the angel of the church in Smyrna: The first and the last, who was dead and lived, says this:
9 I know your works, and your tribulation, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Do not be afraid at all of what you are going to suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who conquers will not be harmed by the second death.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write: He who has the sharp two-edged sword says this:
13 I know your works, and where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is; but you hold fast my name, and have not denied my faith, not even in the days when Antipas my faithful witness was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 But I have a few things against you: that you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
15 And you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I hate.
16 Therefore repent; If not, I will come to you quickly and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone written a new name, which no one knows except he who receives it.
18 And write to the angel of the church in Thyatira: The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet like polished bronze, says this:
19 I know your works, and love, and faith, and service, and your patience, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 But I have a few things against you: that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, teaching and seducing my servants to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 And I have given her time to repent, but she does not want to repent of her fornication.
22 Behold, I cast her into her bed, and into great tribulation those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of her deeds.
23 And I will strike her children to death, and all the churches will know that I am the one who searches the mind and the heart; and I will give to each of you according to your works.
24 But to you and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have that doctrine, and have not known what they call the depths of Satan, I say to you: I will not impose another burden on you;
25 But what you have, hold on to it until I come.
26 To him who overcomes and keeps my works to the end, I will give authority over the nations,
27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron, and they will be broken like a potter’s vessel; as I have also received it from my Father;
28 and I will give him the morning star.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
1 To the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars says this: I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and that you are dead.
2 Be vigilant, and affirm the other things that are about to die; for I have not found your works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. For if you do not watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.
4 But you have a few people in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they will walk with me in white garments, because they are worthy.
5 He who conquers will be dressed in white garments; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things say the Holy One, the True One, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens:
8 I know your works; Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut; for although you have little strength, you have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
9 Behold, I deliver from the synagogue of Satan those who say they are Jews and are not, but lie; behold, I will cause them to come and fall at your feet, and acknowledge that I have loved you.
10 Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is coming upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Behold, I am coming quickly; Hold fast what you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 He who conquers, I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never leave there again; and I will write on it the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven, from my God, and my new name.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 And write to the angel of the church in Laodicea: Behold, the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation, says this:
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot!
16 But because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 For you say, I am rich, and have become rich, and have need of nothing; and you do not know that you are unfortunate, miserable, poor, blind and naked.
18 Therefore I advise you to buy from me gold refined in fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you, so that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; And anoint your eyes with eye drops so that you can see.
19 I rebuke and punish everyone I love; Be zealous, therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
21 To him who overcomes, I will give him to sit with me on my throne, just as I have overcome, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
1 After this I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet, speaking to me, said, Come up here, and I will show you the things that will happen after these.
2 And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was established in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And the appearance of him who sat was like jasper and carnelian stone; And there was a rainbow around the throne, similar in appearance to an emerald.
4 And around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and I saw twenty-four elders sitting on thrones, dressed in white robes, with golden crowns on their heads.
5 And from the throne came lightning and thunder and voices; And seven lamps of fire burned before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was like a sea of glass like crystal; and next to the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.
7 The first living creature was like a lion; the second was like a calf; The third had a face like that of a man; and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
8 And the four living creatures each had six wings, and around and within they were full of eyes; and they did not cease day and night to say: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come.
9 And whenever those living creatures give glory and honor and thanksgiving to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship. to him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 Lord, you are worthy to receive glory and honor and power; because you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created.
1 And I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a book written inside and out, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and loose its seals?
3 And no one, neither in heaven nor on earth nor under the earth, could open the book, nor even look at it.
4 And I wept greatly, because no one had been found worthy to open the book, nor to read it, nor to look at it.
5 And one of the elders said to me: Do not cry. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book and loose the seven seals from it.
6 And I looked, and saw that in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, 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 throughout the earth.
7 And he came and took the book from the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb; They all had harps, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints;
9 And they sang a new song, saying: You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals; for you were slain, and with your blood you have redeemed us for God, from every tribe and language and people and nation;
10 and you have made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign on the earth.
11 And I looked, and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and of the living creatures, and of the elders; and their number was millions of millions,
12 who said with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to take power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and praise.
13 And to everything created that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and everything that is in them, I heard saying: Him who sits on the throne, and Lamb, be praise, honor, glory and power, forever and ever.
14 The four living creatures said: Amen; and the twenty-four elders fell on their faces and worshiped him who lives forever and ever.
1 I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say as with a voice of thunder: Come and see.
2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering, and to conquer.
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come and see.
4 And another horse came out, red; and power was given to him who sat on it to take peace from the land, and to kill one another; and he was given a great sword.
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come and see. And I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a scale in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice from the midst of the four living creatures saying, Two pounds of wheat for a denarius, and six pounds of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the oil or the wine.
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come and see.
8 I looked, and behold, a yellow horse, and he that sat on it was called Death, and Hades followed him; and power was given to him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with mortality, and with the wild beasts of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the word of God and for the testimony they had.
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, Lord, holy and true, will you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?
11 And they were given white garments, and told to rest a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers, who also were to be killed like them, was completed.
12 I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, and the moon became all like blood;
13 and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its figs when it is shaken by a strong wind.
14 And the sky vanished like a scroll that is rolled up; and every mountain and every island was removed from its place.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, the rich men, the captains, the mighty men, and every bondman and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;
16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;
17 for the great day of his wrath has come; and who can stand?
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 I also saw another angel ascending from where the sun rises, and he had the seal of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom power had been given to harm the earth and the sea,
3 saying, Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed on their foreheads to the servants of our God.
4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed: one hundred and forty-four thousand who were sealed from all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed. Of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand sealed.
6 Of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand were sealed. Of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand were sealed. Of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand sealed.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand were sealed. Of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand sealed.
8 Of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand were sealed. Of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand sealed.
9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no one could number, from all nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in the presence of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and with palms in their hands. hands;
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and around the elders, and around the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne, and worshiped God,
12 saying, Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen.
13 Then one of the elders spoke, saying to me, These who are dressed in white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?
14 I said to him: Lord, you know. And he said to me, These are they who have come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 For this reason they stand before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 They will no longer hunger or thirst, and the sun will no longer fall on them, nor any heat;
17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels standing before God; and they were given seven trumpets.
3 Another angel then came and stood before the altar, with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to add to the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that was before the throne.
4 And from the hand of the angel the smoke of incense with the prayers of the saints ascended to the presence of God.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire from the altar, and cast it to the earth; and there were thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.
7 The first angel sounded the trumpet, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, which were thrown onto the earth; and a third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned.
8 The second angel sounded the trumpet, and like a great mountain burning with fire it was thrown into the sea; and the third part of the sea turned into blood.
9 And a third of the living creatures that were in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers, and on the fountains of water.
11 And the name of the star is Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from those waters, because they became bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded the 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 were darkened, and there was no light in the third. part of the day, and also of the night.
13 And I looked, and I heard an angel fly in the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe to them that dwell on the earth, because of the other trumpet blasts that are ready to sound the three angels!
1 The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and he was given the key to the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the pit of the bottomless pit, and smoke rose from the pit like smoke from a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the well.
3 And out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth; and they were given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And they were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only those men who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 And it was given to them, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months; and his torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
6 And in those days men will seek death, but they will not find it; and they will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7 The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for war; on their heads they had like crowns of gold; Their faces were like human faces;
8 had hair like women’s hair; His teeth were like those of lions;
9 had breastplates like breastplates of iron; The noise of their wings was like the roar of many horse chariots rushing into battle;
10 had tails like scorpions, and also stings; and in their tails they had power to harm men for five months.
11 And they have as king over them the angel of the deep, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.
12 The first woe is past; behold, two more woes come after this.
13 The sixth angel blew the trumpet, and I heard a voice from between the four horns of the golden altar that was before God,
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Unleash the four angels who are bound by the great river Euphrates. .
15 And the four angels who were prepared for the hour, day, month and year were released to kill a third of men.
16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard your number.
17 Thus I saw in vision the horses and their riders, who had breastplates of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and fire, smoke, and sulfur came out of his mouth.
18 By these three plagues a third of men were killed; because of the fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of his mouth.
19 For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; because their tails, similar to snakes, had heads, and with them they hurt.
20 And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues did not even repent of the works of their hands, nor did they stop worshiping demons and images of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood. , which cannot see, nor hear, nor walk;
21 and they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
1 I saw another strong angel descend from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with the rainbow over his head; and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.
2 He had a little open book in his hand; and he put his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land;
3 and he cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars; and when he had cried, seven thunders sounded out from him.
4 When the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was going to write; But I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: Seal up the things that 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 raised his hand to heaven,
6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that time would no longer be,
7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he begins to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God will be consummated, as he announced to his servants the prophets.
8 The voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said: Go and take the little book that is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.
9 And I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take, and eat it; and it will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.
10 Then I took the little book from the angel’s hand, and ate it; and it was sweet in my mouth like honey, but when I had eaten it, it made my belly bitter.
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again concerning many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.
1 Then a reed like a measuring rod was given to me, and it was said to me, Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship therein.
2 But leave the courtyard outside the temple apart, and do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles; and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.
3 And I will give my two witnesses to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These witnesses are the two olive trees, and the two lampstands that stand before the God of the earth.
5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and devours their enemies; and if anyone wants to harm them, he must die in the same way.
6 These have power to close the sky, so that it does not rain 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 wish.
7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will make war against them, and will overcome them and kill them.
8 And their corpses will be in the square of the great city, which in the spiritual sense is called Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was also crucified.
9 And those of the peoples, tribes, languages and nations will see their corpses for three and a half days, and will not allow them to be buried.
10 And the inhabitants of the earth will rejoice over them and be glad, and will send gifts to one another; for these two prophets had tormented the inhabitants of the earth.
11 But after three and a half days the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
12 And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, Come up hither. And they went up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies saw them.
13 At that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed, and seven thousand men died in the earthquake; and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; behold, the third woe is coming soon.
15 The seventh angel sounded the trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world have become our Lord’s and his Christ’s; and he will reign forever and ever.
16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,
17 saying, We thank you, Lord God Almighty, who are and who were and who are to come, because you have taken your great power, and you have reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time to judge the dead, and to give the reward to your servants the prophets, to the saints, and to those who fear your name, to the small and the great. , and to destroy those who destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and his ark of the covenant was seen in the temple. And there were lightning, voices, thunder, an earthquake and great hail.
1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 And being with child, she cried out in labor pains, in the anguish of her birth.
3 Another sign also appeared in heaven: behold, a great scarlet dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads seven diadems;
4 and his tail dragged a third of the stars of heaven, and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, in order to devour her son as soon as he was born.
5 And she gave birth to a man child, who will rule all nations with a rod of iron; and his son was caught up to God and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, to feed her there for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 Then there was a great battle in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought;
8 But they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; He was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, Now has come salvation, and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of Christ from him; for the accuser of our brothers has been cast out, who accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they despised their lives unto death.
12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the land and the sea! for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.
13 And when he saw the dragon that had been cast to the ground, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the man child.
14 And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly from before the serpent into the wilderness, to her place, where she is sustained for a time, and times, and half a time.
15 And the serpent cast water like a river out of her mouth after the woman, so that she would be carried away by the river.
16 But the earth helped the woman, for the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had cast out of her mouth.
17 Then the dragon was filled with anger against the woman; and he went to make war against the rest of her descendants, those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1 I stood on the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rising out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns; and on its horns ten diadems; and upon their heads, a blasphemous name.
2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, and its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne, and great authority.
3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been wounded to death, but his mortal wound was healed; and all the earth marveled after the beast,
4 and they worshiped the dragon which had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?
5 He also was given a mouth that spoke great things and blasphemies; and he was given authority to act forty-two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
7 And he was allowed to make war against the saints, and overcome them. He was also given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
8 And all the inhabitants of the earth worshiped her, whose names were not written in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain from the beginning of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 If anyone leads into captivity, he goes into captivity; If anyone kills with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.
11 Then I saw another beast coming up from the earth; and he had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 He also performs great signs, so that he even brings down fire from heaven to the earth before men.
14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth with the signs that he was permitted to do in the presence of the beast, commanding those who dwell on the earth to make an image for the beast, which had the wound of a sword and lived.
15 And he was allowed to breathe breath into the image of the beast, so that the image could speak and kill everyone who did not worship it.
16 And he caused everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to have a mark placed on their right hand, or on their forehead;
17 and that no one could buy or sell, except he who had the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of man. And his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
1 Then I looked, and, behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of great thunder; and the voice that I heard was like harpers playing their harps.
3 And they sang a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and before the elders; and no one could learn the song except those one hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from those of the land.
4 These are those who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb;
5 and no lie was found in their mouths, for they are blameless before the throne of God.
6 I saw another angel flying in the middle of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation, tribe, tongue and people,
7 saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give glory to him, because the hour of his judgment has arrived; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water.
8 Another angel followed him, saying, Babylon, the great city, is fallen, fallen, because he 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 anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which has been poured pure into the cup of his wrath; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and the Lamb;
11 and the smoke of his torment ascends forever and ever. And those who worship the beast and his image have no rest day or night, nor anyone who receives the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: Write: Blessed from now on are the dead who die in the Lord. Yes, says the Spirit, they will rest from their labors, because his works continue with them.
14 I looked, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud sat 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 with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, Put in your sickle and reap; because the time to reap has arrived, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle into the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, having power over the fire, and called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Put in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.
19 And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vineyard of the earth, and cast the grapes into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress to the bridles of the horses, for sixteen hundred furlongs.
1 I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues; because in them the wrath of God was consummated.
2 I also saw like a sea of glass mixed with fire; and those who had achieved victory over the beast and his image, and his mark and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, with 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 wonderful are your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, King of saints.
4 Who will not fear you, O Lord, and glorify your name? for only you are holy; therefore all nations will come and worship you, because your judgments have been revealed.
5 After these things I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the congregation was opened in heaven;
6 And out of the temple came the seven angels who had the seven plagues, dressed in clean, bright linen, and girded around their chests with golden girdles.
7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
8 And the temple was filled with smoke because of the glory of God, and because of his power; and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels had been fulfilled.
1 I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels: Go and pour out on the earth the seven vials of the wrath of God.
2 He was the first, and he poured out his cup upon the earth, and a malignant and pestilent ulcer came upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped the image of him.
3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died.
4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and on the springs of water, and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, You are righteous, O Lord, who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have judged these things.
6 Because they shed the blood of the saints and prophets, you also have given them blood to drink; Well they deserve it.
7 I also heard another saying from the altar: Truly, Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and just.
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, to which it was given to burn men with fire.
9 And men were burned with the great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory.
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was covered with darkness, and they bit his tongue with pain,
11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven for his pains and for his ulcers, and they did not repent of his works.
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way might be prepared for the kings of the east.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs 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;
14 For they are spirits of demons, which perform signs, and go to the kings of the earth throughout the world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of the Almighty God.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and he keeps his clothes, so that he does not go naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together at the place which in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air; And a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 Then there were lightnings and voices and thunder, and a great shaking of the earth, an earthquake so great, such as had never occurred since men were on the earth.
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 him the cup of the wine of his fierce wrath.
20 And every island fled, and the mountains were not found.
21 And huge hail fell from heaven on men, about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed against God because of the plague of hail; for his plague was exceedingly great.
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke to me, saying, Come hither, and I will show you the sentence against the great harlot, who sits on many waters;
2 with which the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 And he led me in the Spirit into the wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast 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, precious stones and pearls, and she had in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication;
5 and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus; and when I saw her, I was amazed with great amazement.
7 And the angel said to me: Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that bears her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to rise from the abyss and go to perdition; and the inhabitants of the earth, those whose names are not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life, will be amazed when they see the beast that was and is not and will be.
9 This, for the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits,
10 and they are seven kings. Five of them have fallen; one is, and the other has not yet come; and when he comes, it must last a short time.
11 The beast that was, and is not, is also the eighth; and he is among the seven, and he is going to perdition.
12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom; but for one hour they will receive authority as kings together with the beast.
13 These have one purpose, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
14 They will fight against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called and chosen and faithful.
15 He also said to me: The waters that you saw where the harlot sits are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.
16 And the ten horns that you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will leave her desolate and naked; and they will devour its flesh, and burn it with fire;
17 because God has put it in his heart to do what he wanted: to agree, and to give his kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
18 And the woman whom you saw is the great city that reigns over the kings of the earth.
1 After this I saw another angel descend from heaven with great power; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 And he cried with a loud voice, saying, He is fallen, the great Babylon is fallen, and has become the habitation of demons and the haunt of every unclean spirit, and the shelter 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 have become rich from the power of her pleasures.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, so that you may not be partakers of her sins, nor receive part of her plagues;
5 because her sins have reached up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Give to her as she has given to you, and repay her double according to her works; In the chalice in which she prepared drink, prepare double of it for her.
7 As much as she has glorified herself and has lived in delight, give her so much torment and weeping; because she says in her heart: I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow, and I will not see crying;
8 Therefore in one day the plagues of it will come; death, crying and hunger, and she will be burned with fire; for the Lord God is powerful, who judges her.
9 And the kings of the earth who have committed fornication with her, and have lived in delight with her, will weep and lament over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
10 standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying: Woe! Woe to the great city of Babylon, the strong city; because in one hour your judgment came!
11 And the merchants of the land weep and lament over it, because no one buys any more of its merchandise;
12 merchandise of gold, of silver, of precious stones, of pearls, of fine linen, of purple, of silk, of scarlet, of all fragrant wood, of all objects of ivory, of all objects of precious wood, of copper, of iron and marble;
13 and cinnamon, spices, frankincense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, beasts, sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, souls of men.
14 The fruits desired by your soul have departed from you, and all the exquisite and splendid things have been missing from you, and you will never find them again.
15 The merchants of these things, who have become rich at her expense, will stand afar off for fear of her torment, weeping and lamenting,
16 and saying, Woe, woe, to the great city, which was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and was adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls!
17 Because in one hour so much wealth has been consumed. And every pilot, and all those who travel in ships, and sailors, and all who work at sea, stood afar off;
18 And when they saw the smoke of its burning, they cried out, saying, What city was like this great city?
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried out, weeping and lamenting, saying, Woe, woe to the great city, in which all that had ships in the sea had become rich from its riches; for in one hour it has been desolated!
20 Rejoice over her, heaven, and you saints, apostles and prophets; because God has done you justice in it.
21 And a mighty angel took a stone, like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, With the same force Babylon, the great city, will be thrown down, and will be found no more.
22 And the voice of harpists, musicians, flute players and trumpeters will no longer be heard in you; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any more, nor the noise of a mill will be heard in you any more.
23 The light of a lamp will no longer shine in you, nor will the voice of husband and wife be heard in you anymore; because your merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by your sorceries all nations were deceived.
24 And in it was found the blood of the prophets and the saints, and of all those who were slain on the earth.
1 After this I heard a loud voice from a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah! Salvation and honor and glory and power belong to the Lord our God;
2 because his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great harlot who has corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of her servants at her hand.
3 Again they said: Hallelujah! And the smoke of it rises forever and ever.
4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down on the ground and worshiped God, who sat on the throne, and said, Amen! Hallelujah!
5 And a voice came from the throne saying: Praise our God, all his servants and those who fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard like the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters, and like the voice of great thunder, saying, Hallelujah, for the Lord our God Almighty reigns!
7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory; for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has prepared herself.
8 And it has been granted to her to be clothed in fine linen, clean and shining; for the fine linen is the righteous actions of the saints.
9 And the angel said to me: Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me: These are true words of God.
10 I fell at her feet to worship her. And he said to me: Look, don’t do it; I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God; because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 Then I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon it was called Faithful and True, and with justice he judges and fights.
12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems; and he had a name written that no one knew but himself.
13 He was dressed in a garment dipped in blood; and his name is: THE WORD OF GOD.
14 And the heavenly armies, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses.
15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, to strike down the nations with it, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; and he treads the wine press of the fury and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And on his garment and on his thigh he has this 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 birds that fly in the midst of heaven, Come, and gather together to the great supper of God,
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings. and of captains, and flesh of strong men, flesh of horses and their riders, and flesh of all, free and slave, small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and his 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 it the false prophet who had performed signs before it, with which he had deceived those who had received the mark of the beast, and had worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into a lake of fire burning with sulfur.
21 And the rest were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
1 I saw an angel descending from heaven, with the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
3 and he cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and set his seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were completed; and after this he must be unbound for a little time.
4 And I saw thrones, and those who were given authority to judge sat on them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not received the mark on their foreheads or on their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection; The second death has no power over these, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him a thousand years.
7 When the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison,
8 and he will go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; the number of which is like the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; and fire came down from God from heaven and consumed them.
10 And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled, and no place was found for them.
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before God; and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things that were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged each one according to his works.
14 And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whoever was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea was no more.
2 And I, John, saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them; and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as his God.
4 God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will be no more death, nor will there be any more crying, nor clamor, nor pain; because the first things passed away.
5 And he who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me: Write; 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 him who thirsts, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life.
7 He who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.
8 But the cowardly and unbelieving, the abominable and murderers, the fornicators and sorcerers, the idolaters and all liars will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues came to me and spoke with me, saying, Come hither, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10 And she carried me in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great holy city of Jerusalem, coming down from heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God. And its brilliance was similar to that of a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
12 It had a great and high wall with twelve gates; and at the doors, twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel;
13 to the east three doors; to the north three doors; to the south three doors; to the west three doors.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 He who spoke with me had a golden measuring reed to measure the city, its gates and its wall.
16 The city is laid out in a square, and its length is equal to its width; and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs; The length, height and width of it are equal.
17 And he measured his wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is that of an angel.
18 The material of his wall was jasper; but the city was of pure gold, like clean glass;
19 and the foundations of the city wall were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, agate; the fourth, emerald;
20 the fifth, onyx; the sixth, carnelian; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of the doors was a pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.
22 And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is her temple, and the Lamb.
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it; for the glory of God illuminates it, and the Lamb is its light.
24 And the nations that have been saved will walk in the light of it; and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honor to it.
25 The doors of it will never be closed by day, for there will be no night there.
26 And they will bring the glory and honor of the nations to it.
27 Nothing that is unclean, or that commits abomination or lies, will enter into it, but only those that are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
1 Then he showed me a clean river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb.
2 In the middle of the street of the city, on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which produces twelve fruits, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there will be no more curse; 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 his forehead.
5 There will be no more night there; and they have no need of the light of a lamp, nor of the light of the sun, for the Lord God will enlighten them; and they will reign forever and ever.
6 And he said to me: These words are faithful and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.
7 Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
8 I, John, am he who heard and saw these things. And after he had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 But he said to me, See, do not do it; for I am a fellow servant of yours, of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.
10 And he said to me, Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he who is unclean, let him be unclean still; and he who is just, let him practice justice still; and he who is holy, let him sanctify himself still.
12 Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to reward each one according to his work.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are those who wash their clothes, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and that they may enter through the gates into the city.
15 But the dogs will be outside, and the sorcerers, the fornicators, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and makes lies.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you of these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the Bride say: Come. And he who hears, let him say: Come. And the one who is thirsty, come; and whoever wants, let him take the water of life freely.
18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will bring upon him the plagues that are written in this book.
19 And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the book of life, and from the holy city, and from the things that are written in this book.
20 He who bears witness to these things says: Surely I am coming shortly. Amen; yes, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
