And on her forehead was written a name of mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be shut;

And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the sound of a millstone will not be heard in you any longer;

just as I also have received from my Father; and I will give him the morning star.

For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb.

Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God.

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?"

When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come." And I looked, and behold, a black horse; and its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.

And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out from their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"

but they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.

And he who sat there was like jasper and carnelian in appearance, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

And out came a horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and to him was given a great sword.

And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down."

He had a little scroll which was open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,

and he cried out with a loud voice, like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.

I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; but when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

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

So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, "Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."

Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, "Go, take the scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.

The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.

from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,

From the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,

And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it.

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

And I wept greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.

from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"

One of its heads seemed to have a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder.

Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb."

And he who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."

He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke went up from the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.

I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and its rider's name was Death, and Hades was following him. And they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

Rejoice then, O heavens and you that dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"

And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them.

In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; and their faces were like human faces,

And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them."

And the beast was given a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.
