And I
looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion,
and with him an hundred forty and four thousand,
having his Father's name written in their
foreheads.
02 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice
of many waters, and as the voice of a great
thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping
with their harps:
03 And they sung as it were a new song before the
throne, and before the four beasts, and the
elders: and no man could learn that song but the
hundred and forty and four thousand, which were
redeemed from the earth.
04 These are they which were not defiled with
women; for they are virgins. These are they which
follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These
were redeemed from among men, being the
firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
05 And in their mouth was found no guile: for
they are without fault before the throne of God.
06 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach
unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every
nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
07 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give
glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is
come: and worship him that made heaven, and
earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
08 And there followed another angel, saying,
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city,
because she made all nations drink of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication.
09 And the third angel followed them, saying with
a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and
his image, and receive his mark in his forehead,
or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath
of God, which is poured out without mixture into
the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of the holy angels, and in the presence of the
Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor
night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are
they that keep the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labours; and their works
do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and
upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man,
having on his head a golden crown, and in his
hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple,
crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the
cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the
time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of
the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his
sickle on 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,
which had power over fire; and cried with a loud
cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying,
Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the
clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes
are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the
earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and
cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of
God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the
city, and blood came out of the winepress, even
unto the horse bridles, by the space of a
thousand and six hundred furlongs.
