who declared the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ which he saw.

Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him and those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him. Yes, amen.

To the angel of the church in Ephesus write, These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks,

I know your works and your labor and your patience, and that you cannot bear the wicked, and you tried those who say they are apostles and are not, and found them false;

And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, These things says the first and the last, who was dead and lived,

I know your affliction and poverty, but you are rich, and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

But I have a few things against you; you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put an occasion of sin before the children of Israel, both to eat things offered to idols and to commit fornication.

So in like manner you have also those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans.

But I have against you that you allow your wife Jezebel, who says she is a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit fornication and eat things offered to idols.

But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira who have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden;

Be watchful, confirm the rest who are about to die. For I have not found your works perfect before my God.

But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them come and worship at your feet, and they shall know that I have loved you.

Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which is to come on all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth.

And when the cherubs gave glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne who lives forever and ever,

And I saw a mighty angel proclaim with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seven seals?

for the great day of his wrath has come, and who can stand?

And I saw another angel ascend 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 injure the earth and the sea,

and they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation be to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.

And one of the elders answered and said to me, Who are those clothed with white robes, and whence did they come?

And I said to him, My Lord, you know. And he said to me, These are those who come out from great affliction, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and lead them to fountains of the waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and there were given them seven trumpets.

And I saw, and heard an eagle flying in the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to those who live on the earth on account of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound.

And it was told them not to injure the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but the men who had not the seal of God on their foreheads.

saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Unbind the four angels bound by the river, the great Euphrates.

And the four angels were unbound, who were prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year, to kill a third part of men.

And the rest of men, who were not killed with these plagues, did not change their minds [to turn] from the works of their hands, not to worship demons and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which cannot see nor hear nor walk,

And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land, lifted up his right hand to heaven,

And the voice which I heard from heaven [I heard] again speak to me and say, Go and take the little opened book in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.

And the twenty-four elders who sit before God on their thrones fell on their faces, and worshipped God,

and his tail drew a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them on the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear [a child], that when she had borne he might devour her son.

And she bore a male child, who is about to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.

And the great dragon, the old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, and who deceives all the world, was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast [to the earth] with him.

Therefore rejoice, heavens, and those who dwell in them; woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short time.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who bore the male child.

And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.

and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave power to the beast, and worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who is able to make war with him?

And all who dwell on the earth shall worship him, [every one] whose name is not enrolled in the Lamb's book of life who was killed from the foundation of the world.

And it was given him to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that all who would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And they sung a new song before the throne and before the four cherubs and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth.

These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins; these are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from men a first fruit to God and the Lamb,

And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the eternal gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people,

And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, who made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

And the smoke of their torment rises up forever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yes, says the Spirit, they shall rest from their labors; and their works follow after them.

and another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and cried with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Send your sharp sickle and gather the grapes of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.

who shall not fear thee, Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, for all the nations shall come and worship before thee, for thy righteous ordinances have been made manifest.

and the seven angels went out who have the last seven plagues, clothed with pure bright linen, and girded about the breasts with golden girdles.

And one of the four cherubs gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of the God who lives forever and ever.

And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and there was an evil and malignant ulcer on the men who have the mark of the beast and those who worship his image.

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and changed not their minds to give him glory.

AND one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke to me, saying, Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,

with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

The beast which you saw was and is not, and is about to come up from the abyss, and goes to destruction; and those who live on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, when they see the beast that he was and is not and is to come.

Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death and sorrow and famine, and she shall be burnt with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.

And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her shall weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

And dealers in these things, and those who became rich by her, shall stand afar off for fear of her distress, weeping and lamenting,

for in one hour are so great riches made a desolation. And every sailing-master and every one who sails to the place, and sailors and all that work on the sea, shall stand afar off,

And they shall cast dust on their heads, and cry weeping and lamenting, saying, Alas, alas, the great city, by which all were enriched who had ships on the sea on account of her costly merchandise, for in one hour is it made desolate.

for true and righteous are his judgments, for he has judged the great harlot who destroyed the earth with her fornication, and avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

And the twenty-four elders fell down, and the four cherubs, and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen, Halleluia.

And he said to me, Write, Blessed are those who are called to the wedding supper of the Lamb. And he told me, These are the true words of God.

And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See [that you do it] not; I am your fellow-servant and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of chiliarchs and the flesh of mighty [men] and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all, both free-men and servants and both small and great.

And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet who performed miracles before him, with which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship his image; and the two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with sulphur.

And he took the dragon, which is the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and the word of God, and who did not worship the beast nor his image and did not receive the mark on their forehead and on their right hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years;

And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and sulphur, where also the beast and the false prophet [were cast], and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.

And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged each according to their works.

And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the last seven plagues came, and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show you the wife, the bride of the Lamb.

And I am John who heard and saw these thing; and when I heard and when I saw I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things.
