Blessed is he that reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.

His head and his hair were white as white wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Write, therefore, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and those which shall be here after;

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches: To him that overcomes, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He that overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him that overcomes, I will give of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives it.

But I have against you that you suffer that woman Jezebel, who calls her self a prophetess, and teaches and deceives my servants to practice lewdness, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

And I have given her time to repent; and she will not repent of her lewdness.

Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent of their deeds.

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searches the reins and the hearts: and I will give to every one of you according to your works.

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

Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard, and be watchful and repent. If, therefore, you do not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

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

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

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

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

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

And I saw when he had opened the sixth seal; and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood:

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

And they had hair like the hair of women; and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

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

And the rest of men that were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they might not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;

And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and in the earthquake there were slain names of men, seven thousand: and the rest were frightened, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

And a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun; and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars;

And his tail drew along the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that, when she had brought forth, he might devour her child.

And she brought forth a male child, that was to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught away to God, even to his throne.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there for a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

And 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, away from the presence of the serpent.

And the serpent threw out of his mouth water like a river, after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.

And the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river that the dragon threw out of his mouth.

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

If any one has an ear, let him hear.

If any one leads into captivity, he shall go into captivity. If any kills with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faithfulness of the saints.

Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

and he said with a loud voice: Fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him that made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

And another angel followed, saying: Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen; because she has made all nations drink of the maddening wine of her lewdness.

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

And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered before God, that he might give her the cup of the wine of his fiercest wrath.

And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; and she had in her hand a golden cup full of idolatrous pollutions, and the impurities of her lewdness.

And on her forehead was a name written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND OF THE IDOLATROUS POLLUTIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus; and when I saw her, I wondered with great astonishment.

And the angel said to me: Why did you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, that has seven heads and ten horns.

Here is the mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

And the ten horns that you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.

For she has made all nations drink of the maddening wine of her lewdness; and the kings of the earth have practiced lewdness with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the power of her voluptuousness.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Come out of her, my people, lest you become partakers of her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

For her sins reach even to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

Reward her as she has rewarded you, and render back to her double, according to her works: in the cup that she has mixed, mix for her double.

As much glory and voluptuousness as she has given to herself, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore, her plagues shall come in one day, death and mourning and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

And the kings of the earth, who have practiced lewdness and lived voluptuously with her, shall weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

standing far off for fear of her torment, saying: Alas, alas, that great city of Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour has your judgment come.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and lament over her, because no one buys their merchandise any more;

Those who traded in these things, who were made rich by her, Shalt stand far off for fear of her torment, weeping and mourning and

saying: Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! for in one hour, so great riches have been brought to ruin.

and cried, when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying: "What city is like the great city?

And they threw dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning and saying: Alas, alas, that great city, by which all that had ships in the sea became rich by means of costly merchandise! for in one hour she is made desolate.

Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets: for God has avenged you on her.

And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

for true and righteous are his judgments, for he has judged the great harlot that corrupted the earth with her lewdness; and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

And again they said: Alleluia; and her smoke rises up from age to age.

And to her was given that she should be clothed in fine linen, clean arid white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
