I became in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a great voice like a trumpet

and he who lives. And I became dead, and behold, I am living into the ages of the ages. Truly. And I have the keys of death and of Hades.

And to the agent of the congregation in Smyrna write, These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:

And straightaway I became in spirit. And behold, a throne was set in heaven, and him sitting upon the throne

And I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake occurred, and the sun became black as hairy sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood.

And the second agent sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood,

And in that day a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth part of the city fell. And seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

And the temple became full of vapor from the glory of God and from his power. And none was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven agents were ended.

And the second agent poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like of a dead man, and every living soul in the sea died.

And the third agent poured out his bowl into the rivers and into the springs of the waters, and they became blood.

And the fifth agent poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened, and they gnawed their tongues from the anguish.

And the great city became in three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And the great Babylon was remembered before God, to give to it the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger.

And he cried out in a mighty voice, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, and became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hated bird.

Because all the nations have drunk from the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her wantonness.

The merchants of these things who became rich from her will stand from afar because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

And they cast dust on their heads, and cried out, weeping and mourning, and saying, Alas, alas, the great city in which all who had ships in the sea became rich from her luxuriance! Because in one hour she was devastated.
