  • The Revelation of St. John the Divine

  • Chapter 1

  • The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things

  • which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant

  • John: who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and

  • of all things that he saw. 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.

  • John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from him which

  • is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his

  • throne; and from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten

  • of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed

  • us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his

  • Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he cometh with

  • clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds

  • of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning

  • and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

  • 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. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice,

  • as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest,

  • write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus,

  • and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia,

  • and unto Laodicea. And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned,

  • I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like

  • unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps

  • with a golden girdle. His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow;

  • and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they

  • burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right

  • hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance

  • [was] as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as

  • dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and

  • the last: [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.

  • Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which

  • shall be hereafter; 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.

  • Chapter 2

  • Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven

  • stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I

  • know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are

  • evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found

  • them liars: and hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and

  • hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first

  • love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works;

  • or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,

  • except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans,

  • which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;

  • To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst

  • of the paradise of God.

  • And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the

  • last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but

  • thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not,

  • but [are] the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold,

  • the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation

  • ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that

  • hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh

  • shall not be hurt of the second death.

  • And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the

  • sharp sword with two edges; 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.

  • But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine

  • of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things

  • sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine

  • of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and

  • will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He that hath an ear, let him hear

  • what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of

  • the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written,

  • which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].

  • And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God,

  • who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass; 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. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because

  • thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce

  • my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave

  • her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her

  • into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they

  • repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches

  • shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every

  • one of you according to your works. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira,

  • as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they

  • speak; I will put upon you none other burden. But that which ye have [already] hold fast

  • till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give

  • power over the nations: 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. And I will

  • give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto

  • the churches.

  • Chapter 3

  • And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the

  • seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that

  • thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are

  • ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 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.

  • 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. 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. He that hath an ear,

  • let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

  • 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; 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. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they

  • are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before

  • thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 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. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast,

  • that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,

  • and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name

  • of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God:

  • and [I will write upon him] my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit

  • saith unto the churches.

  • And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful

  • and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither

  • cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither

  • cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 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: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,

  • that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the

  • shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou

  • mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

  • Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door,

  • I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will

  • I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my

  • Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the

  • churches.

  • Chapter 4

  • After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which

  • I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I

  • will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and,

  • behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne. And he that sat was to

  • look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the

  • throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne [were] four and twenty

  • seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment;

  • and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 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. And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like

  • unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts

  • full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast

  • like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast [was] like

  • a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were]

  • full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord

  • God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and

  • honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 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, Thou art worthy, O Lord,

  • to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy

  • pleasure they are and were created.

  • Chapter 5

  • 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. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud

  • voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in

  • heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look

  • thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book,

  • neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion

  • of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the

  • seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four

  • beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven

  • horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

  • And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And

  • when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before

  • the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are

  • the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the

  • book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by

  • thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto

  • our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the

  • voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number

  • of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a

  • loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom,

  • and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and

  • on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them,

  • heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth

  • upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen.

  • And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and

  • ever.

  • Chapter 6

  • And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of

  • thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse:

  • and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering,

  • and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say,

  • Come and see. And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him

  • that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and

  • there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard

  • the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him

  • had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts

  • say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see]

  • thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the

  • voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and

  • his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto

  • them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with

  • death, and with the beasts of the earth. 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: 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? And white

  • robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest

  • yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed

  • as they [were], should be fulfilled. 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; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig

  • tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed

  • as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of

  • their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the

  • chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves

  • in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 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: for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

  • Chapter 7

  • 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. 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, aying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till

  • we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of

  • them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand

  • of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve

  • thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve

  • thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.

  • Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand.

  • Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand.

  • Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.

  • Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand.

  • Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand.

  • Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.

  • 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.

  • After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations,

  • and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed

  • with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation

  • to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood

  • round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne

  • on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and

  • thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

  • And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white

  • robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,

  • These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them

  • white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve

  • him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

  • They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them,

  • nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall

  • lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their

  • eyes.

  • Chapter 8

  • And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half

  • an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven

  • trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and

  • there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all

  • saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense,

  • [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's

  • hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast [it] into

  • the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. And the

  • seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

  • 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. 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; 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. 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; and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third

  • part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were

  • made bitter. And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten,

  • and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of

  • them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

  • 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!

  • Chapter 9

  • And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him

  • was given the key of the bottomless pit. 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. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon

  • the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

  • And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any

  • green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their

  • foreheads. 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. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall

  • desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts [were] like

  • unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold,

  • and their faces [were] as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and

  • their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates

  • of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running

  • to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and

  • their power [was] to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, [which is]

  • the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in

  • the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon. One woe is past; [and], behold, there come

  • two woes more hereafter.

  • And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar

  • which is before God, saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels

  • which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were

  • prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of

  • men. And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand: and

  • I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat

  • on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of

  • the horses [were] as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke

  • and brimstone. 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. For their power is in

  • their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails [were] like unto serpents, and had heads,

  • and with them they do hurt. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues

  • yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols

  • of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear,

  • nor walk: neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication,

  • nor of their thefts.

  • Chapter 10

  • 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: 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, and cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth:

  • and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders

  • had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto

  • me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel

  • which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware

  • by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein

  • are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are

  • therein, that there should be time no longer: 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. And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again,

  • and said, Go [and] take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth

  • upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me

  • the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it], and eat it up; and it shall make thy

  • belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book

  • out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as

  • soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again

  • before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

  • Chapter 11

  • And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and

  • measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court

  • which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:

  • and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months. And I will give [power]

  • unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days,

  • clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before

  • the God of the earth. 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. 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. 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. 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. And they

  • of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three

  • days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 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. And

  • after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they

  • stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a

  • great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven

  • in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake,

  • and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:

  • and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe

  • is past; [and], behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and

  • there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the

  • kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And

  • the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces,

  • and worshipped God, saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast,

  • and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And

  • the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should

  • be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the

  • saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which

  • destroy the earth. 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.

  • Chapter 12

  • 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: and she being with child

  • cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 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. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did

  • cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered,

  • for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who

  • was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and

  • [to] his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared

  • of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.

  • And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the

  • dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more

  • in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,

  • which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast

  • out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength,

  • and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren

  • is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by

  • the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their

  • lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to

  • the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having

  • great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw

  • that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].

  • 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. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the

  • woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 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. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with

  • the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

  • Chapter 13

  • And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having

  • seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of

  • blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the

  • feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power,

  • and his seat, and great authority. 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. And they worshipped

  • the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who

  • [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him

  • a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty

  • [and] two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his

  • name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make

  • war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds,

  • and tongues, and nations. 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.

  • If any man have an ear, let him hear. 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. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had

  • two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first

  • beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first

  • beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh

  • fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that

  • dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight

  • of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image

  • to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life

  • unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause

  • that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 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: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had

  • the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him

  • that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man;

  • and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

  • Chapter 14

  • And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty

  • [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 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: and they sung as it were a new song

  • before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that

  • song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

  • These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they

  • which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being]

  • the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for

  • they are without fault before the throne of God.

  • And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach

  • unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and

  • people, 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. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that

  • great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

  • And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the

  • beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 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: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth

  • up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his

  • image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints:

  • here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard

  • a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord

  • from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their

  • works do follow them.

  • And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud [one] sat like unto the Son

  • of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 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. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and

  • the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also

  • having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire;

  • and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp

  • sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

  • And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth,

  • and cast [it] into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden

  • without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by

  • the space of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.

  • Chapter 15

  • And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven

  • last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of

  • glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over

  • his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass,

  • having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the

  • song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and

  • true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints. 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. And after that I looked, and, behold, the

  • temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 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. And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven

  • angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. 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.

  • Chapter 16

  • And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways,

  • and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured

  • out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which

  • had the mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his image. 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. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers

  • and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou

  • art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

  • For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to

  • drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty,

  • true and righteous [are] thy judgments. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon

  • the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with

  • great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they

  • repented not to give him glory. 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, and

  • blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of

  • their deeds. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and

  • the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

  • 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. For they are

  • the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of

  • the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold,

  • I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked,

  • and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew

  • tongue Armageddon. 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. And there

  • were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as

  • was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great. And

  • the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great

  • Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness

  • of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there

  • fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent:

  • and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding

  • great.

  • Chapter 17

  • And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying

  • unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth

  • upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the

  • inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried

  • me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured

  • beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was

  • arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,

  • having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon

  • her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND

  • ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 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.

  • And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery

  • of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

  • 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. And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads

  • are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen,

  • and one is, [and] the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short

  • space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,

  • and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have

  • received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have

  • one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with

  • the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:

  • and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me,

  • The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and

  • nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate

  • the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her

  • with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give

  • their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which

  • thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

  • Chapter 18

  • And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power;

  • and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice,

  • saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,

  • and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit,

  • and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of

  • the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed

  • fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich

  • through the abundance of her delicacies. 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. For her sins have reached unto heaven,

  • and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you,

  • and double unto her double according to her works:

  • in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

  • 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. 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. And the kings of the earth, who have committed

  • fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her,

  • when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 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. And the merchants of the earth shall weep

  • and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

  • the merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls,

  • and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet,

  • and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory,

  • and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

  • and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense,

  • and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat,

  • and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

  • And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee,

  • and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee,

  • and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made

  • rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment,

  • weeping and wailing, 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!

  • For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.

  • And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships,

  • and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, and cried

  • when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great city!

  • And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying,

  • Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships

  • in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

  • Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and prophets;

  • for God hath avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone,

  • and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon

  • be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

  • And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard

  • no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft [he

  • be], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard

  • no more at all in thee; and the light of a candle shall shine no more

  • at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the

  • bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the

  • earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

  • And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints,

  • and of all that were slain upon the earth.

  • Chapter 19

  • And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia;

  • Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: for true and righteous

  • [are] his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with

  • her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they

  • said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders

  • and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;

  • Alleluia. 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. 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. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour

  • to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 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. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they

  • which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are

  • the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me,

  • See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony

  • of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 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. 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. And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is

  • called The Word of God. And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses,

  • clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that

  • with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he

  • treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on [his]

  • vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

  • And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all

  • the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the

  • supper of the great God; 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. And I saw the beast,

  • and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him

  • that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the

  • false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had

  • received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast

  • alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword

  • of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls

  • were filled with their flesh.

  • Chapter 20

  • And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a

  • great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is

  • the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 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. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and

  • [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word

  • of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his]

  • mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand

  • years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

  • This [is] the first resurrection. 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. And when the thousand years

  • are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the

  • nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together

  • to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth

  • of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire

  • came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 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.

  • 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. And I saw the dead, small and great,

  • stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the

  • book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the

  • books, according to their works. 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. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second

  • death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake

  • of fire.

  • Chapter 21

  • And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were

  • passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming

  • down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard

  • a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he

  • will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them,

  • [and be] their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall

  • be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for

  • the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make

  • all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And

  • he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give

  • unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh

  • shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful,

  • and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,

  • and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:

  • which is the second death.

  • And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven

  • last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the

  • Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed

  • me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of

  • God: and her light [was] like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear

  • as crystal; and had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve

  • angels, and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children

  • of Israel: on the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates;

  • and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in

  • them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden

  • reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare,

  • and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve

  • thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured

  • the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of

  • a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the

  • city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass. 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; the fifth, sardonyx;

  • the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the

  • tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 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. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God

  • Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither

  • of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the

  • light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and

  • the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall

  • not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the

  • glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing

  • that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which

  • are written in the Lamb's book of life.

  • Chapter 22

  • And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of

  • the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side

  • of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and]

  • yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the

  • nations. 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: and they shall see his face; and his name

  • [shall be] in their foreheads. 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.

  • And he said unto me, These sayings [are] faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets

  • sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold,

  • I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

  • And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down

  • to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto

  • me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them

  • which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings

  • of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be

  • unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous,

  • let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold,

  • I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall

  • be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 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. For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers,

  • and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

  • I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the

  • root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star.

  • And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him

  • that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

  • For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If

  • any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written

  • in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy,

  • God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from]

  • the things which are written in this book.

  • He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord

  • Jesus.

  • The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
