The next file is: REVELATION
1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to
 show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass;
 and he sent and signified [it] by his angel to his servant
 John:
1:2 Who bore testimony of the word of God, and of the testimony
 of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
1:3 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.
1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] to
 you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to
 come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
1:5 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. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
 his own blood,
1:6 And hath made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to
 him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,
 and they [also] who pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth
 shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith
 the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the
 Almighty.
1:9 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.
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me
 a great voice, as of a trumpet,
1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and,
 What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] to the seven
 churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to
 Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia,
 and to Laodicea.
1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And
 having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like the
 Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt
 about the paps with a golden girdle.
1:14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white
 as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
1:15 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a
 furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his
 mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance [was]
 as the sun shineth in his strength.
1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid
 his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first
 and the last:
1:18 [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.
1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which
 are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
1:20 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.
2:1 To 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;
2:2 I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and that
 thou canst not bear them who are evil; and thou hast tried them
 who say they are apostles, and are not; and hast found them
 liars:
2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake
 hast labored, and hast not fainted.
2:4 Nevertheless, I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou
 hast left thy first love.
2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou hast fallen, and repent,
 and do the first works; or else I will come to thee quickly,
 and will remove thy candlestick out of its place, except thou
 repent.
2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
 Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to
 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.
2:8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna, write; These
 things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and is
 alive;
2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou
 art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them who say they are
 Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold,
 the devil will cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be
 tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful
 to death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to
 the churches; He that overcometh, shall not be hurt by the
 second death.
2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These
 things saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges;
2:13 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.
2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast
 there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak
 to cast a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat
 things sacrificed to idols, and to commit lewdness.
2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
 Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
2:16 Repent; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will fight
 against them with the sword of my mouth.
2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to
 the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
 hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone
 a new name written, which no man knoweth, he excepted, that
 receiveth [it].
2:18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These
 things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of
 fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
2:19 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:
2:20 Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, because
 thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a
 prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit
 lewdness, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
2:21 And I gave her time to repent of her lewdness, and she
 repented not.
2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit
 adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of
 their deeds.
2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the
 churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and
 hearts: and I will give to every one of you according to your
 works.
2:24 But to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, As many as
 have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of
 Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you no other burden:
2:25 But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works to the end, to
 him will I give power over the nations:
2:27 (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.
2:28 And I will give him the morning-star.
2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to
 the churches.
3:1 And to 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.
3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that
 are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before
 God.
3:3 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.
3:4 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.
3:5 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.
3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to
 the churches.
3:7 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:
3:8 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.
3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who 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.
3:10 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.
3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast,
 that no man take thy crown.
3:12 Him that overcometh, will I make a pillar in the temple of
 my God, and he shall go out no more: 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.
3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to
 the churches.
3:14 And to 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;
3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I
 would thou wert cold or hot.
3:16 So then, because thou art luke-warm, and neither cold nor
 hot, I will vomit thee out of my mouth:
3:17 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:
3:18 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 may not appear;
 and anoint thy eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see.
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
 therefore, and repent.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man shall
 hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
 will sup with him, and he with me.
3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my
 throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father
 on his throne.
3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to
 the churches.
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 show thee things which must be hereafter.
4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold, a throne
 was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne.
4:3 And he that sat was in appearance like a jasper and a
 sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow around the throne in
 sight like an emerald.
4:4 And around 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.
4:5 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.
4:6 And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like
 crystal: And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne,
 [were] four living beings full of eyes before and behind.
4:7 And the first living being [was] like a lion, and the second
 living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face
 as a man, and the fourth living being [was] like a flying
 eagle.
4:8 And the four living beings 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, who
 was, and is, and is to come.
4:9 And when those living beings give glory, and honor, and
 thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and
 ever,
4:10 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,
4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honor, and
 power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure
 they are and were created.
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.
5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who
 is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals?
5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth,
 was able to open the book, neither to look upon it.
5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open,
 and to read the book, neither to look upon it.
5:5 And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not: behold, the
 Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed
 to open the book, and to loose its seven seals.
5:6 And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the
 four living beings, 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.
5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him
 that sat upon the throne.
5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four living beings, and
 four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having
 every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which
 are the prayers of saints.
5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take
 the book, and to open the seals of it: for thou wast slain, and
 hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and
 language, and people, and nation;
5:10 And hast made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall
 reign on the earth.
5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels around
 the throne, and the living beings, and the elders: and the
 number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and
 thousands of thousands;
5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
 to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and
 honor, and glory, and blessing.
5:13 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, I heard saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory,
 and power, [be] to him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the
 Lamb for ever and ever.
5:14 And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four [and]
 twenty elders fell down and worshiped him that liveth for ever
 and ever.
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 living
 beings saying, Come and see.
6:2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse: and he that sat on him
 had a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went forth
 conquering, and to conquer.
6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second
 living being say, Come and see.
6:4 And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power]
 was given to him that sat upon him to take peace from the
 earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was
 given to him a great sword.
6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third
 living being 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.
6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living beings
 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.
6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of
 the fourth living being say, Come and see.
6:8 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 to 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.
6:9 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:
6:10 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?
6:11 And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was
 said to them, that they should rest yet for a little season,
 until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that
 should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
6:12 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:
6:13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a
 fig-tree casteth its untimely figs, when it is shaken by a
 mighty wind.
6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
 together; and every mountain and isle were moved out of their
 places.
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich
 men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
 bond-man, and every free-man, hid themselves in the dens and in
 the rocks of the mountains;
6:16 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:
6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who will be
 able to stand?
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.
7:2 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,
7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,
 till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
7:4 And I heard the number of them who were sealed: [and there
 were] sealed a hundred [and] forty four thousand of all the
 tribes of the children of Israel.
7:5 Of the tribe of Judah [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the
 tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
 Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.
7:6 Of the tribe of Asher [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the
 tribe of Naphtalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
 of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.
7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the
 tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
 Isachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.
7:8 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.
7:9 After this I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no man
 could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and
 languages, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
 clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God
 who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
7:11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and [about] the
 elders and the four living beings, and fell before the throne
 on their faces, and worshiped God,
7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
 thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, [be] to our God
 for ever and ever. Amen.
7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these
 that are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
7:14 And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
 These are they who came out of great tribulation, and have
 washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the
 Lamb.
7:15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him
 day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne
 will dwell among them.
7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither
 shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
7:17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed
 them, and will lead them to living fountains of waters: and God
 will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence
 in heaven about the space of half an hour.
8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stood before God; and to them
 were given seven trumpets.
8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a
 golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he
 should offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the
 golden altar which was before the throne.
8:4 And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers
 of the saints, ascended before God out of the angel's hand.
8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of
 the altar, and cast [it] upon the earth: and there were voices,
 and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
8:6 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared
 themselves to sound.
8:7 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.
8:8 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;
8:9 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.
8:10 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;
8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third
 part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died by the
 waters, because they were made bitter.
8:12 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 that the third part of them was darkened, and
 the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night
 likewise.
8:13 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!
9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from
 heaven to the earth: and to him was given the key of the
 bottomless pit.
9:2 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.
9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and
 to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have
 power.
9:4 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 who have not the seal of God in their
 foreheads.
9:5 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.
9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find
 it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
9:7 And the shapes of the locusts [were] like to horses prepared
 for battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like
 gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.
9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were
 as [the teeth] of lions.
9:9 And they had breast-plates, as it were breast-plates of
 iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of
 chariots of many horses running to battle.
9:10 And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in
 their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months.
9:11 And they had a king over them, [who is] the angel of the
 bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew language [is] Abaddon,
 but in the Greek language he hath [his] name Apollyon.
9:12 One woe is past; [and] behold, there come two woes more
 hereafter.
9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the
 four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
9:14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the
 four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates.
9:15 And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an
 hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third
 part of men.
9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen [was] two
 hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat
 on them, having breast-plates 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.
9:18 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.
9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for
 their tails [were] like to serpents, and had heads, and with
 them they do hurt.
9:20 And the rest of the men who were not killed by these
 plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they
 should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and silver, and
 brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear,
 nor walk:
9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their
 sorceries, nor of their lewdness, nor of their thefts.
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:
10:2 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,
10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth: and
 when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was
 about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,
 Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and
 write them not.
10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the
 earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
10:6 And swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created
 heaven, and the things that are in it, and the earth, and the
 things that are in it, and the sea, and the things which are in
 it, that there should be time no longer:
10:7 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.
10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to 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.
10:9 And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the
 little book. And he said to me, Take [it], and eat it, and it
 shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet
 as honey.
10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and
 ate it; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I
 had eaten it my belly was bitter.
10:11 And he said to me, Thou must prophesy again before many
 peoples, and nations, and languages, and kings.
11:1 And there was given me a reed like a rod: and the angel
 stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
 altar, and them that worship in it.
11:2 But the court which is without the temple, leave out, and
 measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles: and the holy
 city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.
11:3 And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall
 prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days, clothed in
 sackcloth.
11:4 These are the two olive-trees, and the two candlesticks
 standing before the God of the earth.
11:5 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.
11:6 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.
11:7 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.
11:8 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.
11:9 And they of the people, and kindreds, and languages, and
 nations, shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and
 shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
11:10 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.
11:11 And after three days and a half the Spirit of life from
 God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and
 great fear fell upon them who saw them.
11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them,
 Come up hither. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud; and
 their enemies beheld them.
11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the
 tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were killed
 of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and
 gave glory to the God of heaven.
11:14 The second woe is past; [and] behold, the third woe cometh
 quickly.
11:15 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 will reign for
 ever and ever.
11:16 And the four and twenty elders, who sat before God on
 their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God,
11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art,
 and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy
 great power, and hast reigned.
11:18 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 to thy servants the prophets, and to the
 saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and
 shouldest destroy them who destroy the earth.
11:19 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.
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:
12:2 And she being with child, cried, travailing in birth, and
 pained to be delivered.
12:3 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.
12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,
 and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the
 woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as
 soon as it was born.
12:5 And she brought forth a male child, who was to rule all
 nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God,
 and [to] his throne.
12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a
 place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a
 thousand two hundred [and] sixty days.
12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought
 against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more
 in heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called
 the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
 cast out upon the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
12:10 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, who accused them before our God day and night.
12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the
 word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the
 death.
12:12 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 to you, having great wrath, because he
 knoweth that he hath but a short time.
12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he
 persecuted the woman who brought forth the male-[child].
12:14 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.
12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood
 after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by
 the flood.
12:16 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.
12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make
 war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of
 God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise
 out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
 horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like 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.
13:3 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.
13:4 And they worshiped the dragon which gave power to the
 beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who [is] like the
 beast? who is able to make war with him?
13:5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things
 and blasphemies; and power was given to him to continue forty
 [and] two months.
13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to
 blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
 heaven.
13:7 And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to
 overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
 languages, and nations.
13:8 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.
13:9 If any man hath an ear, let him hear.
13:10 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.
13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, and
 he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before
 him, and causeth the earth and them who dwell in it to worship
 the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come
 down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
13:14 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
 lived.
13:15 And he had power to give life to the image of the beast,
 that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that
 as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
 killed.
13:16 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:
13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save him that had the
 mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18 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 and sixty six.
14:1 And I looked, and lo, a lamb stood on the mount Sion, and
 with him a hundred [and] forty four thousand, having his
 Father's name written in their foreheads.
14:2 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:
14:3 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 four thousand, who were
 redeemed from the earth.
14:4 These are they who were not defiled with women; for they
 are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever
 he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the
 first-fruits to God and to the Lamb.
14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without
 fault before the throne of God.
14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having
 the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the
 earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and language, and
 people,
14:7 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.
14:8 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 lewdness.
14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud
 voice, If any man worshipeth the beast and his image, and
 receiveth [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
14:10 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:
14:11 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 whoever receiveth the mark of his
 name.
14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that
 keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me, Write,
 Blessed [are] the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth:
 Verily, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors;
 and their works follow them.
14:14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the
 cloud [one] sat like the Son of man, having on his head a
 golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
14:15 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.
14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the
 earth; and the earth was reaped.
14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in
 heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, who 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.
14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and
 gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into the great
 wine-press of the wrath of God.
14:20 And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood
 came out of the wine-press, even to the horses' bridles, by the
 space of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.
15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous,
 seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is
 filled up the wrath of God.
15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and
 them that had gained 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.
15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the
 song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous [are] thy works,
 Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of
 saints.
15:4 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.
15:5 And after that I looked, and behold, the temple of the
 tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
15:6 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.
15:7 And one of the four living beings gave to the seven angels
 seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for
 ever and ever.
15:8 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.
16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the
 seven angels, Go, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God
 upon the earth.
16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth;
 and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men who had
 the mark of the beast, and [upon] them who worshiped his image.
16:3 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.
16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
 fountains of waters; and they became blood.
16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art
 righteous, O Lord, who art, and wast, and wilt be, because thou
 hast judged thus.
16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and
 thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
16:7 And I heard another from the altar say, Even so, Lord God
 Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments.
16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and
 power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the
 name of God, who hath power over these plagues: and they
 repented not to give him glory.
16:10 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,
16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains
 and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great
 river Euphrates; and the water of it was dried up, that the way
 of the kings of the east might be prepared.
16:13 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.
16:14 For they are the spirits of demons, working miracles,
 [which] go forth to the kings of the earth, and of the whole
 world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
 Almighty.
16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth,
 and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
 shame.
16:16 And he gathered them into a place called in the Hebrew
 tongue Armageddon.
16:17 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.
16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and
 there was a great earthquake, such as hath not been since men
 were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.
16:19 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 to her the cup of the wine of
 the fierceness of his wrath.
16:20 And every isle fled away, and the mountains were not
 found.
16:21 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 of it was
 exceeding great.
17:1 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven
 vials, and talked with me, saying to me, Come hither; I will
 show to thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon
 many waters;
17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed lewd deeds,
 and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the
 wine of her lewdness.
17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
 and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of
 names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet-color, and
 decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a
 golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
 her lewdness:
17:5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY,
 BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINATIONS OF
 THE EARTH.
17:6 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.
17:7 And the angel said to me, Why didst thou wonder? I will
 tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
 carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
17:8 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.
17:9 And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads
 are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
17:10 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 time.
17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth,
 and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who
 have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one
 hour with the beast.
17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and
 strength to the beast.
17:14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will
 overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and
 they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.
17:15 And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where
 the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,
 and languages.
17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these
 shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked,
 and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and
 to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words
 of God shall be fulfilled.
17:18 And the woman whom thou sawest is that great city, which
 reigneth over the kings of the earth.
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.
18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon
 the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of
 demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
 unclean and hateful bird.
18:3 For all nations have drank of the wine of the wrath of her
 lewdness, and the kings of the earth have committed lewd deeds
 with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich
 through the abundance of her delicacies.
18:4 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.
18:5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God hath
 remembered her iniquities.
18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double to her
 double according to her works: in the cup which she hath
 filled, fill to her double.
18:7 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.
18:8 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.
18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed lewdness and
 lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for
 her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
18:10 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.
18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over
 her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
18:12 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 vessels of ivory, and all
 vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and
 marble,
18:13 And cinnamon, and odors, 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.
18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after have departed
 from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly have
 departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
18:15 The merchants of these things who were made rich by her,
 shall stand afar off, for the fear of her torment, weeping and
 wailing,
18:16 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!
18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And
 every ship-master, and all the company in ships, and sailors,
 and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying,
 What [city is] like this great city!
18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and
 wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, in which were
 made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her
 opulence! for in one hour is she made desolate.
18:20 Rejoice over her [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and
 prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
18:21 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 no more
 found.
18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers,
 and trumpeters, shall be no more heard in thee; and no
 artificer, of whatever craft [he be], shall be found any more
 in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be no more heard in
 thee;
18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more in thee; and
 the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no
 more in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the
 earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints,
 and of all that were slain upon the earth.
19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of many people
 in heaven, saying, Alleluia: Salvation, and glory, and honor,
 and power, to the Lord our God:
19:2 For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he hath
 judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her
 lewdness, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her
 hand.
19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for
 ever and ever.
19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four living beings
 fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying,
 Amen; Alleluia.
19:5 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.
19:6 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.
19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the
 marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself
 ready.
19:8 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.
19:9 And he saith to me, Write, Blessed [are] they who are
 called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me,
 These are the true sayings of God.
19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me,
 See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy
 brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the
 testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
19:11 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.
19:12 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.
19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and
 his name is called, The Word of God.
19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon
 white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
19:15 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 wine-press of the fierceness and
 wrath of Almighty God.
19:16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name
 written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
19:17 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 assemble yourselves to the supper of the
 great God;
19:18 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.
19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their
 armies, assembled to make war against him that sat on the
 horse, and against his army.
19:20 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
 worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of
 fire burning with brimstone.
19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat
 upon the horse, which [sword] proceedeth out of his mouth: and
 all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
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.
20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is
 the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
20:3 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.
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
 given to them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded
 for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who
 had not worshiped 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.
20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand
 years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
20:6 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.
20:7 And when the thousand years have expired, Satan shall be
 loosed from his prison,
20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the
 four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them to
 battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.
20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and
 encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and
 fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
20:10 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.
20:11 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.
20:12 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 the things
 which were written in the books, according to their works.
20:13 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.
20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This
 is the second death.
20:15 And whoever was not found written in the book of life was
 cast into the lake of fire.
21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
 heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no
 more sea.
21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down
 from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
 husband.
21:3 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 will be
 with them, [and be] their God.
21:4 And God will 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 have passed
 away.
21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all
 things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true
 and faithful.
21:6 And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the
 beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of
 the fountain of the water of life freely.
21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be
 his God, and he shall be my son.
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
 murderers, and lewd men, 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.
21:9 And there came to me one of the seven angels, who had the
 seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me,
 saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's
 wife.
21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high
 mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,
 descending out of heaven from God,
21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like to a
 stone most precious, even like a jasper-stone, clear as
 crystal;
21:12 And had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and
 at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which
 are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the
 south three gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on
 them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15 And he that talked with me, had a golden reed to measure
 the city, and its gates, and its wall.
21:16 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 hight of
 it are equal.
21:17 And he measured the wall of it a hundred [and] forty four
 cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the
 angel.
21:18 And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and
 the city [was] pure gold, like clear glass.
21:19 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;
21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
 chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
 chrysoprase; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21:21 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.
21:22 And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and
 the Lamb are the temple of it.
21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon,
 to shine in it: for the glory of God enlightened it, and the
 Lamb [is] the light of it.
21:24 And the nations of them who are saved shall walk in the
 light of it: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and
 honor into it.
21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut by day: for there
 shall be no night there.
21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations
 into it.
21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that
 defileth, neither [whatever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a
 lie; but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as
 crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on each side of the
 river, [was there] the tree of life, which bore twelve [kinds
 of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves
 of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations.
22:3 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:
22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in
 their foreheads.
22:5 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.
22:6 And he said to me, These sayings [are] faithful and true.
 And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show to
 his servants the things which must shortly be done.
22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the
 sayings of the prophecy of this book.
22:8 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 who showed me these things.
22:9 Then saith he to me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy
 fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
 who keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
22:10 And he saith to me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy
 of this book: for the time is at hand.
22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who 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.
22:12 And behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to
 give to every man according as his work shall be.
22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first
 and the last.
22:14 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.
22:15 For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and lewd men, and
 murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loveth and maketh a lie.
22:16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you these things
 in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,
 [and] the bright and morning-star.
22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
 heareth, say, Come. And let him that is thirsty, come: And
 whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
22:18 For I testify to every man that heareth the words of the
 prophecy of this book, if any man shall add to these things,
 God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book:
22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book
 of this prophecy, God will 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.
22:20 He who testifieth these things saith, Surely I come
 quickly: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.
 Amen.
