Chapter 14

And I saw, and behold, the Lamb was standing upon Mount Sion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

And I heard a voice from heaven like a voice of many waters, and like a voice of loud thunder; and the voice that I heard was as of harpers playing their harps.

And they were singing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except those hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been purchased from the earth.

These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were purchased from among men, first-fruits unto God and unto the Lamb,

and in their mouth there was found no lie; they are without blemish. The Three Angels

And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell upon the earth and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people,

saying with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give him honor, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made the heaven and the earth, the sea and the fountains of waters."

And another angel followed, saying, "She has fallen, Babylon the great, who of the wine of the wrath of her immorality has given all the nations to drink."

And another, a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark upon his forehead or upon his right hand,

he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured unmixed into the cup of his wrath; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb.

And the smoke of their torments goes up forever and ever; and they rest neither day nor night, they who have worshipped the beast and its image, and anyone who receives the mark of its name." Blessedness of the Saints

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

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth. Yes, says the Spirit, let them rest from their labors, for their works follow them." Vision of the Judgment

And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sitting like to a son of man, having upon his head a crown of gold and in his hand a sharp sickle.

And another angel came forth out of the temple crying with a loud voice to him who sat upon the cloud, "Put forth thy sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe."

And he who sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped.

And another angel came forth out of the temple that is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

And another angel came forth from the altar, he who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Put forth thy sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for its grapes are fully ripe."

And the angel cast his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the great wine press of the wrath of God.

And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and there came forth blood out of the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a thousand and six hundred stadia.
