chapter 14
1
And I
beheld, and lo a lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four
thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their
foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the noise of many
waters, and as the voice of great thunder; and the voice which I heard, was as
the voice of harpers, harping on their harps.
3 And they sung as it were a new canticle, before the throne,
and before the four living creatures, and the ancients; and no man could say
the canticle, but those hundred forty-four thousand, who were purchased from
the earth.
4 These are they who were not defiled with women: for
they are virgins. These follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were
purchased from among men, the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb:
5 And in their mouth there was found no lie; for they
are without spot before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel flying through the midst of
heaven, having the eternal gospel, to preach unto them that sit upon the earth,
and over every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people:
7 Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord, and give him
honour, because the hour of his judgment is come; and adore ye him, that made
heaven and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And another angel followed, saying: That great
Babylon is fallen, is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud
voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his
character in his forehead, or in his hand;
10 He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath, and shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels, and in the sight of
the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torments shall ascend up for
ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast,
and his image, and whoever receiveth the character of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me:
Write: Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith
the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow them.
14 And I saw, and behold a white cloud; and upon the
cloud one sitting like to the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold,
and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out from the temple crying
with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle, and
reap, because the hour is come to reap: for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust his sickle into
the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in
heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had
power over fire; and he cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp
sickle, saying: Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the
vineyard of the earth; because the grapes thereof are ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle into the
earth, and gathered the vineyard of the earth, and cast it into the great press
of the wrath of God:
20 And the press was trodden without the city, and
blood came out of the press, up to the horses' bridles, for a thousand and six
hundred furlongs.
