Tell the wind, this is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'Come from the four winds, O Breath, and breathe on these people who were killed so that they will live.'

Jehovah also said: Son of man, all the people of Israel are like these bones. The people say: Our bones are dry, and our hope has vanished. We are completely destroyed. Prophesy and tell them: 'This is what the Lord Jehovah says: My people, I will open your graves and take you out of them. I will bring you to Israel. Then, my people, you will know that I am Jehovah, because I will open your graves and bring you out of your graves.' I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. I will place you in your own land.

As I went back, I saw many trees on both sides of the river. He said: This water flows through the land to the east, down into the Jordan Valley, and into the Dead Sea. When the water flows into the Dead Sea, it will replace the salt water there with fresh water. Wherever the river flows, there will be many fish and animals. The river will make the water in the Dead Sea fresh. Wherever the river flows, it will bring life. From En Gedi to En Eglaim people will be standing on the shore of the sea with their fishing nets spread out. As many kinds of fish will be there as there are in the Mediterranean Sea. But the water in the swamps and marshes will not become fresh. It will remain salty. All kinds of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and they will not fail to produce fruit. Each month they will produce fresh fruit because this water flows from the Holy Place. The fruit will be good food, and the leaves will be used for healing.

[The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished.] (Not found in older manuscripts.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them.

Satan will go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. The number of these is as the sand of the sea (too great to count). They advanced over the broad plain of the earth, and encircled the camp of the holy ones, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven and devoured (consumed) them. The devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and will be tormented day and night forever.

The smoke of their torment will ascend forever and ever. They who worship the beast and his image and receive the mark of his name have no rest day or night.

There was someone like the Son of man in the midst of the seven lamp stands. He was clothed with a garment that reached down to the feet, and girded at the chest with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like fine brass glowing in a furnace. His voice sounded like many rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars. A sharp two-edged sword came out of his mouth. His appearance was like the shinning sun in full strength. When I saw him, I fell as dead at his feet. He laid his right hand on me and said: Do not fear. I am the first and the last: I am alive! I was dead and, behold, I am alive forever, Amen. I have the keys of death and the grave. Write the things that you have seen and the things that are and the things that will be. This is the secret of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven congregations. The seven lamp stands that you saw are the seven congregations.

The dragon stood on the shore by the sea. I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. His horns had ten crowns on them. Blasphemous names were on his heads. The beast I saw looked like a leopard. His feet were like the feet of a bear. His mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority. One of his heads appeared to have had a fatal wound. His fatal wound had healed, and the entire world followed the beast with admiration. read more.
Men worshiped the dragon that gave power to the beast. They worshiped the beast, saying: Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him? A mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to the beast. And authority to act was given to him to continue forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, to slander his name, and his dwelling place, and those who live in heaven. It was granted to him to wage war with the holy ones, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all tribes, and tongues, and nations. All the citizens of earth will worship him, all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life who was slain from the foundation of the world. If any man can listen, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity. He who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. This requires the patience and the faith of the holy ones.

I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven. He was clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was upon his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He held a little book that lay open in his hand. He placed his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the earth. And he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. read more.
When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven say to me: Seal up those things that the seven thunders spoke. Do not write them. The angel I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth raised his hand to heaven. And he swore by him who lives forever 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 there, that there would be no more delay. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he will sound his trumpet, the secret of God is finished, just as he declared to his servants the prophets. The voice I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said: Go take the little book that is open in the hand of the angel who stands upon the sea and upon the earth. I went to the angel, and said to him: Give me the little book. He said to me: Take it, and eat it up! It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will make your belly bitter. So I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it. It was in my mouth sweet as honey and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

The army of the horsemen numbered two hundred million. I heard their number. I saw the horses and riders in the vision. Their breastplates were bright red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. Their mouths issued fire, smoke, and brimstone. A third of mankind was killed by these plagues of fire and smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. read more.
The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails: for their tails were like serpents that had heads, and with them they inflict harm.

Another sign appeared in heaven. It was a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. His tail swept a third of the stars of heaven, and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered. He was ready to devour her child as soon as it was born. She gave birth to a male-child, who was to rule all nations with a rod (scepter) of iron. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne. read more.
The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God. There they feed her a thousand two hundred and sixty days. War broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. The dragon lost and no place in heaven was found for him any longer. The great dragon was thrown down, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was hurled down to the earth, and his angels with him. I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now has come the salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power (authority) of his Christ: for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accused them before our God day and night. They conquered (overcame) him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives when faced with death. Therefore rejoice (be glad), you heavens, and you that dwell in them. But woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having fierce anger, because he knows that he has only a short time. When the dragon saw that he was thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male-child. Two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (one thousand two hundred and sixty days), out of the serpent's reach. The serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth rescued the woman, and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed up the flood that the dragon spewed out of his mouth. The dragon was furious with the woman and waged war with the remnant of her seed. These are the ones who obey the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These (witnesses) are the two olive trees, and the two lamp stands standing before the God of the earth. If any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. If any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. read more.
These (two witnesses) have power to shut the sky so that it will not rain in the days of their prophecy. They have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. When they finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them and conquer them, and kill them. Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was impaled. The people and tribes and tongues and nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days, and will look at them and refuse to bury them. The inhabitants of the earth will celebrate and rejoice over them. They will rejoice and send gifts to one another. This is because these two prophets tormented those who lived on the earth. After three and a half days the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet. Great fear fell upon all who saw them. They heard a great voice from heaven say: Come up here. So they ascended up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies beheld them.

Have no fear Zechariah, said the angel, for God has heard your prayer. Your wife Elisabeth will have a son and his name will be John. You will be filled with joy, and many will be happy at his birth. He will be great in the eyes of God. He will not drink wine or strong drink and he will be full of Holy Spirit from the time of his birth. read more.
Great numbers of the children of Israel will return to Jehovah their God because of him. (1 Samuel 7:3) He will go before God in the spirit and power of Elijah. He will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and wrongdoers to the way of righteousness. This will make ready a people whose hearts have been directed to Jehovah (YHWH). (Malachi 3:1) Zechariah asked: How might I be certain of this for my wife and I are old? The angel answered: I am Gabriel, whose place is before God. I have been sent to give you this good news. You will be without voice or language till the day when these things happen. Your lack of faith in what I say has caused this. The people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised he was in the Temple for such a long time. When he came out he could not speak to them. They realized he saw a vision in the temple. Instead of talking he made signs to them.

He said: I had a vision in the night. I saw someone riding a red horse. He stopped among some myrtle trees in a valley, and behind him were other horses, red, speckled, and white. I asked him, Sir, what do these horses mean? He answered: I will show you what they mean. The man answered: These are they whom Jehovah sent to inspect the earth. read more.
They spoke to the Messenger (Angel) of Jehovah who stood among the myrtle-trees: We have patrolled the earth and the entire world is at rest.

The word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision: Do not be afraid, Abram; I am your shield. Your reward shall be very great. Abram said: O Jehovah God, what will you give me? I continue childless! The heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus. Abram also said: You have given me no offspring. So a slave born in my house is to be my heir. read more.
The word of Jehovah came to him: This man shall not be your heir. No one but your very own issue shall be your heir. He brought him outside and said: Look toward heaven and count the stars. Are you able to count them? He continued: So shall your descendants be. He believed in Jehovah. Jehovah considered Abram's faith as his righteousness. Then God said to him: I AM JEHOVAH, who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess. Abram replied: O Jehovah God, how will I know that I shall possess it? He (God) said to him: Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon. Abram brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other. He did not cut the birds in two. When birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and terrifying darkness descended upon him. Jehovah said to Abram: Know this for sure; your offspring will be strangers (aliens) in a land that is not theirs. They will be slaves there, and they shall be oppressed for four hundred years. I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve! Afterward they will come out with great possessions. As for yourself, you shall go to your ancestors in peace. You shall be buried at a good old age. They shall come back here in the fourth generation. The iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete. The sun went down and it was dark. A smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

I looked at the dome over the heads of the angels. And I saw something that looked like a throne made of sapphire. Jehovah said to the person dressed in linen: Go between the wheels under the angels and fill your hands with burning coals. Then scatter them over the city. So he went between the wheels as I watched. The angels (cherubs) were standing on the south side of the Temple as the person went. A cloud filled the inner courtyard. read more.
Jehovah's glory rose from the angels to the entrance of the Temple. The cloud filled the Temple, and the brightness of Jehovah's glory filled the courtyard. The sound of the angels' wings was heard as far as the outer courtyard. It was like the sound of the Almighty God when he speaks. After Jehovah had commanded the person dressed in linen to take burning coals from between the wheels beside the angels, the person went in and stood beside one of the wheels. One of the angels reached into the fire that was between the angels and took out some coals. This angel put them in the hands of the person dressed in linen. The person took them and left.

The disciple Ananias was in Damascus. The Lord spoke to Ananias in a vision: Ananias. He replied: Yes, I am here, Lord. The Lord said to him, Arise, and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus for he is praying. He has seen a man named Ananias in a vision. He came in and laid his hand on him that he might receive his sight.

Being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. He said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

The next day they journeyed to the city. As they drew near, Peter went to the housetop to pray. It was about the sixth hour. He became very hungry. While the meal was being prepared he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened, something like a great sheet lowered by the four corners was descending to the earth. read more.
In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles and birds. Peter heard a voice say: Kill and eat. But Peter said: No Lord for I have never eaten any thing that is defiled or unclean. The voice spoke to him again the second time: You stop calling defiled that which God has cleansed. This happened a third time and immediately the sheet was taken up to heaven. While Peter doubted in himself what this vision ment, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius inquired for Simon's house, and stood at the gate. They called out and asked if Simon surnamed Peter lived there.

I must brag, although it does not do any good. I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know; or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows), such a one caught up even to the third heaven. And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows), read more.
how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to speak.

The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision: Do not be afraid, but speak. Do not keep silent! I am with you and no man will harm you. I have many people in this city.

Then I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven. He had everlasting good news to preach to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. He spoke in a loud voice: Respect God, and give him glory! The hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

I saw an angel come down from heaven. He had the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the old serpent that is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He hurled him into the bottomless pit, and shut it and sealed it over him. He could not deceive the nations anymore till the thousand years ended. After that he must be let loose for a little while.

There was given me a reed like a measuring rod: and the angel stood, saying: Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship there. Do not measure the court outside the temple for it is given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

A Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred forty-four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. I heard a sound from heaven, as the sound of many waters. It was as the sound of a great thunder: and I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders. No man can learn that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth. read more.
These are they who were not defiled with women. They are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed (bought) from among mankind. They are the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. No falsehood (lie) (deceit) was found in their mouth, for they are without fault.

After these things I heard a great voice of many people in heaven, saying: Praise Jehovah! Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power belong to our God. (Psalm 150:6) True and righteous are his judgments: for he has judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her fornication. And has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. Again they said: Praise Jehovah. Her smoke rose up forever and ever. read more.
The twenty-four elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped God, who sat on the throne, saying: Amen! Praise Jehovah! (Psalm 117:1) Then a voice came from the throne. It said: Praise our God, all you his servants, and you who reverence him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a large number of people, and as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of mighty thunder, saying: Praise Jehovah! For Jehovah our God, the Almighty, reigns. (Psalm 106:48) Let us be glad, rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife made herself ready. It was granted to her that she dress in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the holy ones. He said to me: Write: Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. He said to me: These are the true sayings of God.

And he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven say to me: Seal up those things that the seven thunders spoke. Do not write them.

War broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. The dragon lost and no place in heaven was found for him any longer. The great dragon was thrown down, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was hurled down to the earth, and his angels with him.

Out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth. Power was given to them like the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads. The locusts were not to kill them, but should torment them for five months: and their torment was the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a man. read more.
Men will seek death in those days and will not find it. They will desire to die and death will elude them. The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. They wore gold crowns on their heads and their faces were like the faces of men. Their hair was like the hair of women. Their teeth were like the teeth of lions. They had breastplates like iron. The sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots with many horses running to battle. Their tails were like scorpions' tails, for there were stings in their tails. They had power to hurt men five months. The angel of the bottomless pit was their king. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.

Being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

I opened my eyes again and saw four chariots. They came out from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of copper. In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses. read more.
Then I asked the angel: What are these, my lord? The angel answered: These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. The chariot with the black horses goes toward the North Country. The white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the South Country. The strong ones went forth, and sought to go that they might inspect the earth. He said: Go inspect the earth. Search back and forth through out the earth. So they inspected the earth. They searched back and forth through out the earth. Then he cried out to me: Behold! Those who go toward the North Country have quieted my spirit [of anger] in the North Country.

He showed me Joshua the high priest. Joshua was standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan was standing at his right hand to be his adversary. Jehovah said to Satan: Jehovah rebukes you, O Satan; yes, Jehovah, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. Is this a brand plucked out of the fire? Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel. read more.
He spoke to those who stood before him: Take the filthy garments from him. Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you and I will clothe you with rich apparel. I said: Let them set a clean headdress upon his head. So they set a clean headdress upon his head, and clothed him with garments. The angel of Jehovah was standing nearby.

I opened my eyes again and I saw a flying scroll. He asked me: What do you see? I said: I see a flying scroll. It is thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide. He continued: This is the curse that is upon the land. Every one who steals will be acquitted. Every one who swears falsely will be innocent. read more.
I will cause it to happen, said Jehovah of Hosts, and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of he who swears falsely by my name. The curse will abide in the midst of his house and will consume it with the timber and the stones of the house.

The man brought me to the entrance hall of the Temple and measured its recessed walls. They were nine feet on each side. The gateway was twenty-four and one half feet wide, and the walls on each side were five feet wide.

I watched as thrones were placed. The ANCIENT OF DAYS sat on one throne. His clothing was white as snow. His hair was like pure wool. His throne was like fiery flames, and the wheels on it were like burning fire. A fiery stream issued from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set and the books were opened. I paid attention because of the sound of the great (boastful) words the horn spoke. I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed. It was burned with fire. read more.
The dominion (authority) was taken away from the other beasts. Yet their lives were prolonged for a season. I saw in the night-visions someone like a SON OF MAN came with the clouds of heaven. He came to the Ancient of Days. They brought him near before him. He was given legal power and a kingdom. Out of his glory all the peoples, nations, and languages will serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away. His kingdom will not be destroyed. (Revelation 11:15) (Daniel 2:44) (Psalm 45:6) I, Daniel, was grieved to the center of my being, and the visions in my head troubled me. I came near to one of them that stood nearby, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me. 'HE MADE ME KNOW THE INTERPRETATION OF EVERYTHING. These FOUR GREAT BEASTS, ARE FOUR KINGS, that arise out of the earth. The holy ones of the Most High will receive the kingdom. They will possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.' I desired to know the truth about the fourth beast that was different from the others. This beast was exceeding terrible. It had teeth made of iron. Its claws were made of copper. It devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. There were ten horns on its head. Three horns fell and another horn came up. The horn that had eyes and a mouth spoke great (domineering) (boastful) things. Its appearance was greater than the others. I watched that same horn as it made war with the holy ones. It prevailed against (defeated) them. Then the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came that the holy ones possessed the kingdom. (Revelation 5:10; 20:4, 6) He said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on earth. It will be different from all other kingdoms. It will devour the entire earth. It will trample it down and break it in pieces. The ten horns are ten kings that will arise out of this kingdom! Another will arise after them. He will be different from the former, and he will subdue three kings. He will speak words against the Most High (Supreme God) and wear down (afflict) (cause great distress) the holy ones of the Most High. He will think to change the times and law and will have control until a time and times and half a time. (Three and one-half years) But the judgment shall be set (applied) and they will take away his power forever. The kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people who are the holy ones of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom! All dominions (legal authorities) will serve and obey him.'

Elisha prayed: O Jehovah, open his eyes that he may see. Jehovah answered his prayer. Elisha's servant looked up and saw the hillside covered with horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Suddenly there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind. It filled the house where they were sitting. Tongues of fire that sat on each of them appeared.

I saw another angel ascending from the east. He had the seal of the living God. He cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea. He said: Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. I heard the number of those who were sealed. There were sealed a hundred and forty-four thousand from all the tribes of the children of Israel. read more.
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. Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh 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 Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

The second angel blew his trumpet. Something like a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died. And a third of the ships were destroyed.

And yet another angel came out from the altar. He had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle. He said: Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. The books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged according to the things written in the books, according to their works.

The second woe has past. The third woe will come quickly.

A sea of crystal like glass was in front of the throne. In the center around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind. The first living creature was like a lion. The second living creature was like a young bull. The third living creature had a face like a man. And the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures has six wings. They are full of eyes around and within. Never resting day or night, they say: Holy, holy, holy, Jehovah God the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.

I saw a book in the right hand of him who sat on the throne. It had writing on the inside and on the back and was sealed with seven seals. And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to remove the seals? No one in heaven, on earth or under the earth was able to open the book and look inside. read more.
I wept much because no one was found worthy to open, look inside, and read the book. One of the elders said to me: Do not weep; the Lion of the tribe of Judah of the Root of David has succeeded in opening the book and removing the seven seals.

Death and the grave were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Immediately I was in the spirit. In front of me was a throne in heaven and someone sat on the throne. He who sat there had the appearance of jasper and sardius stones. A rainbow that looked like an emerald surrounded the throne.

I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it. From before him the earth and heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

In that same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand men were slain in the earthquake, and the survivors were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

I saw a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him and he conquered. When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say: Come! Another horse that was red went out: and power was given to him who sat on it to take peace from the earth. He was given a great sword so that men could kill one another. read more.
When he opened the third seal I heard the third beast say: Come! I saw a black horse; and he who sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand. I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: A measure (quart: U.S. dry). of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see that you do not hurt the oil and the wine. When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say: Come! I looked, and there was a pale horse. The name of the one who sat on him was Death. The grave followed him. Power was given to them over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with pestilence, and with the beasts of the earth.

Again Jehovah asked: What do you see? I answered: I see a boiling pot, and its top is tilted away from the north.

Jehovah spoke his word to me again. He asked: What do you see Jeremiah? I answered: I see a branch of an almond tree.

They kept talking as they walked. Then suddenly a chariot of fire pulled by horses of fire came between them. Elijah was taken up into the physical heaven (the sky) by a whirlwind.

He had a dream in which he saw a stairway set up on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven. He saw the angels of God going up and coming down on it.

This is what the Lord Jehovah showed me: Behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the sprouting of the second crop. It was the later growth (second crop) after the king's mowing. It happened when they quit eating the grass of the land. I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I entreat you: how shall Jacob stand? Since he is so small.

He showed me: and, behold, Jehovah stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. And Jehovah asked me, Amos, what do you see? I said: A plumb line. Then Jehovah said: Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not spare them any more.

The Lord Jehovah showed me a basket of summer fruit. He said: Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then Jehovah said to me: The end has come to my people Israel. I will spare them no longer.

About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw a vision. An angel of God came to him and said, Cornelius.

The fourth angel blew his trumpet. A third of the sun was struck. A third of the moon, and a third of the stars were darkened. The illumination of both day and night was cut by one third.

The first poured out his bowl on the earth. A painful and grievous sore appeared on the men who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who worshiped his image.

It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.

When they finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them and conquer them, and kill them.

These (witnesses) are the two olive trees, and the two lamp stands standing before the God of the earth.

The star is called Wormwood (Calamity) (Bitterness): and a third of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

Do not measure the court outside the temple for it is given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. It became like the blood of a dead man, and every living being died in the sea.

After that I noticed the temple of the sanctuary of the tent of witness was opened in heaven.

He showed me a pure river of water of life. It was clear as crystal and flowed out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

I saw what looked like a sea of glass mingled with fire. Those who were victorious 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 harps (written Word) of God.

A sea of crystal like glass was in front of the throne. In the center around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

This was in the middle of the street of the city. The tree of life was on each side of the river. It produced twelve kinds of fruit and yielded the fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

As I looked, I saw a hand stretched out toward me. In it was a scroll.

That night, God spoke to him and said: Jacob! Jacob! Here I am, Jacob answered.

Paul had a vision that night. In it he saw a Macedonian standing and pleading with him, Come over to Macedonia and help us!

He has seen a man named Ananias in a vision. He came in and laid his hand on him that he might receive his sight.

Around the throne were twenty-four elders sitting on thrones. They were dressed in white with crowns of gold on their heads.

The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire mixed with blood came down upon the earth. A third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

When he took the book the four living creatures and twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Every one of them had harps, and golden bowls full of incense. These are the prayers of the holy ones.

Lightnings and thunders and voices came from the throne. There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne. These are the seven Spirits of God.

After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth. They were holding back the four winds of the earth so the wind would not blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

After this I saw a door opened in heaven: and the first voice that I heard was talking to me like a trumpet. It said: Come up here and I will show you things from the future.

The angel took the incense vessel, and filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth. There were voices, and thundering and lightning, and an earthquake.

He opened the bottomless pit. Smoke came out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace. The smoke from the pit darkened the sun and the air.

There the angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire coming from the middle of a bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire but that it was not burning up.

I saw Jehovah standing beside the altar. He said: Strike the capitals that the thresholds may shake! Break them in pieces on the head of all of them and I will slay the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will get away. Not one of them will escape!

The Lord Jehovah showed me and, behold, the Lord Jehovah called for judgement (contention) by fire and it devoured the great deep. It would have eaten up the land.
