Audio of Revelation - Chapter 1-22
Chapter 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave
unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and
he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and
of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that
hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written
therein: for the time is at hand.4 John to
the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him
which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which
are before his throne;5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten
of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,6 And hath made us kings and priests unto
God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every
eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the
earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.8 I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty.9 I John,
who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and
patience of Jesus Christ,
was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the
testimony of Jesus Christ.10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,
and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,11 Saying, I am Alpha
and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and
send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto
Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto
Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.12 And I turned to see the voice that spake
with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;13 And in the midst of the seven
candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the
foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.14 His head and his hairs were white like
wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if
they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.16 And he had in his right hand seven stars:
and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as
the sun shineth in his strength.17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as
dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and
was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell
and of death. 19 Write the things which
thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be
hereafter; 20 The mystery of the seven
stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven
candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
--------------Chapter 2
1 Unto the angel of the
church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in
his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;2 I know thy works, and
thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil:
and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast
found them liars:3 And hast borne, and hast
patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have
somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from
whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come
unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except
thou repent.6 But this thou hast, that
thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I
give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of
God. 8 And unto the angel of
the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which
was dead, and is alive;9 I know thy works, and
tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them
which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none of those
things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into
prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou
faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not
be hurt of the second death.12 And to the angel of the
church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with
two edges; 13 I know thy works, and
where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my
faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain
among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things
against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam,
who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto
idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them
that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will
come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my
mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I
give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the
stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth
it. 18 And unto the angel of
the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his
eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19 I know thy works, and
charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last
to be more than the first. 20 Notwithstanding I have a
few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which
calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to
repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her
into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her
children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth
the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your
works.24 But unto you I say, and
unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have
not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 25 But that which ye have
already hold fast till I come. 26 And he that overcometh,
and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the
nations: 27 And he shall rule them
with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:
even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the
morning star. 29 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
----------------Chapter 3
1 And unto the angel of
the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits
of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou
livest, and art dead.2 Be watchful, and
strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found
thy works perfect before God.3 Remember therefore how
thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou
shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what
hour I will come upon thee.4 Thou hast a few names
even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with
me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh, the
same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of
the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his
angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 7 And to the angel of the
church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is
true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man
openeth; 8 I know thy works:
behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou
hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my
name. 9 Behold, I will make them
of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will
make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved
thee.10 Because thou hast kept
the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation,
which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the
earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly:
hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. v 12 Him that
overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no
more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the
city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God:
and I will write upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 14 And unto the
angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the
faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works,
that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou
art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou
sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and
naked: 18 I counsel thee to
buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment,
that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear;
and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I
love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand
at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will
come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame,
and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
---------------Chapter 4
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door
was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a
trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee
things which must be hereafter.2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and,
behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.3 And he that sat was to look upon like a
jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in
sight like unto an emerald.4 And round about the throne were four and
twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed
in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.5 And out of the throne proceeded
lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire
burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass
like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne,
were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.7 And the first beast was like a lion, and
the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the
fourth beast was like a flying eagle.8 And the four beasts had each of them six
wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and
night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is
to come.9 And when those beasts give glory and
honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and
ever,10 The four and twenty elders fall down
before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and
ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory
and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure
they are and were created.
-------------------Chapter 5
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on
the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven
seals.2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with
a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals
thereof?3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth,
neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look
thereon.4 And I wept much, because no man was found
worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep
not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the
seven seals thereof.6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the
throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as
it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.7 And he came and took the book out of the
right hand of him that sat upon the throne.8 And when he had taken the book, the four
beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one
of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of
saints.9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou
art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast
slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and
tongue, and people, and nation;10 And hast made us unto our God kings and
priests: and we shall reign on the earth.11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of
many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the
number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands;12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the
Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and
honour, and glory, and blessing.13 And every creature which is in heaven,
and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that
are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be
unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and
ever.14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the
four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and
ever.
----------------Chapter 6
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the
seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts
saying, Come and see.2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and
he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth
conquering, and to conquer.3 And when he had opened the second seal, I
heard the second beast say, Come and see.4 And there went out another horse that was
red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth,
and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great
sword.5 And when he had opened the third seal, I
heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse;
and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the
four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley
for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I
heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power
was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and
with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I
saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and
for the testimony which they held:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on
them that dwell on the earth?11 And white robes were given unto every one
of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little
season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be
killed as they were, should be fulfilled.12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth
seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the
earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a
mighty wind.14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is
rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their
places.15 And the kings of the earth, and the great
men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains;16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall
on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from
the wrath of the Lamb:17 For the great day of his wrath is come;
and who shall be able to stand?
------------Chapter 7
1 And after these things I saw four angels
standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any
tree.2 And I saw another angel ascending from
the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to
the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the
sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
foreheads.4 And I heard the number of them which were
sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the
tribes of the children of Israel.5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were
sealed twelve thousand.6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were
sealed twelve thousand.7 Of the tribe of Simeon were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were
sealed twelve thousand.8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were
sealed twelve thousand.9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, and palms in their hands;10 And cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.11 And all the angels stood round about the
throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on
their faces, and worshipped God,12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom,
and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever
and ever. Amen.13 And one of the elders answered, saying
unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came
they?14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.
And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have
washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.15 Therefore are they before the throne of
God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them.16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst
any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the
throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
--------------Chapter 8
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.2 And I saw the seven angels which stood
before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.3 And another angel came and stood at the
altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that
he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which
was before the throne.4 And the smoke of the incense, which came
with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's
hand.5 And the angel took the censer, and filled
it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices,
and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.6 And the seven angels which had the seven
trumpets prepared themselves to sound.7 The first angel sounded, and there followed
hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the
third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.8 And the second angel sounded, and as it
were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third
part of the sea became blood;9 And the third part of the creatures which
were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were
destroyed.10 And the third angel sounded, and there
fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the
third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:
and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the
waters, because they were made bitter.12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the
third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the
third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day
shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying
through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the
inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the
three angels, which are yet to sound!
--------------Chapter 9
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a
star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless pit.2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and
there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the
sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.3 And there came out of the smoke locusts
upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth
have power.4 And it was commanded them that they
should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any
tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads.5 And to them it was given that they should
not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment
was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.6 And in those days shall men seek death,
and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto
horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like
gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.8 And they had hair as the hair of women,
and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.9 And they had breastplates, as it were
breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots
of many horses running to battle.10 And they had tails like unto scorpions,
and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five
months.11 And they had a king over them, which is
the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,
but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come
two woes more hereafter.13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard
a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the
trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.15 And the four angels were loosed, which
were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the
third part of men.16 And the number of the army of the
horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of
them.17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and
them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and
brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of
their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.18 By these three was the third part of men
killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out
of their mouths.19 For their power is in their mouth, and in
their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with
them they do hurt.20 And the rest of the men which were not
killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they
should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone,
and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:21 Neither repented they of their murders,
nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
---------------Chapter 10
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down
from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his
face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:2 And he had in his hand a little book
open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the
earth,3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a
lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.4 And when the seven thunders had uttered
their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them
not.5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the
sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and
ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and
the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein,
that there should be time no longer:7 But in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be
finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.8 And the voice which I heard from heaven
spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the
hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto
him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and
it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as
honey.10 And I took the little book out of the
angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon
as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy
again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
-----------------Chapter 11
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a
rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
altar, and them that worship therein.2 But the court which is without the temple leave
out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city
shall they tread under foot forty and two months.3 And I will give power unto my two
witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.4 These are the two olive trees, and the
two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.5 And if any man will hurt them, fire
proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will
hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain
not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to
blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.7 And when they shall have finished their
testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street
of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.9 And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and
shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall
rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because
these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.11 And after three days and an half the
Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and
great fear fell upon them which saw them.12 And they heard a great voice from heaven
saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud;
and their enemies beheld them.13 And the same hour was there a great
earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain
of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the
God of heaven.14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the
third woe cometh quickly.15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there
were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he
shall reign for ever and ever.16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat
before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God
Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee
thy great power, and hast reigned.18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is
come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou
shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and
them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which
destroy the earth.19 And the temple of God was opened in
heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there
were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great
hail.
-------------Chapter 12
1 And there appeared a great wonder in
heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her
head a crown of twelve stars:2 And she being with child cried,
travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.3 And there appeared another wonder in
heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and
seven crowns upon his heads.4 And his tail drew the third part of the
stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before
the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as
it was born.5 And she brought forth a man child, who
was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto
God, and to his throne.6 And the woman fled into the wilderness,
where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a
thousand two hundred and threescore days.7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and
his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels,8 And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven.9 And the great dragon was cast out, that
old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him.10 And I heard a loud voice saying in
heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and
the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our
brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.11 And they overcame him by the blood of the
Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto
the death.12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye
that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the
devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he
hath but a short time.13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast
unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man
child.14 And to the woman were given two wings of
a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where
she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the
serpent.15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth
water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of
the flood.16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth
opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his
mouth.17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman,
and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments
of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
---------------Chapter 13
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and
saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon
his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of
a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great
authority.3 And I saw one of his heads as it were
wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered
after the beast.4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto
the beast? who is able to make war with him?5 And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue
forty and two months.6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy
against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven.7 And it was given unto him to make war
with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all
kindreds, and tongues, and nations.8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world.9 If any man have an ear, let him
hear.10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go
into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.11 And I beheld another beast coming up out
of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.12 And he exerciseth all the power of the
first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he
maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the
earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of
the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an
image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.15 And he had power to give life unto the
image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause
that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed.16 And he causeth all, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in
their foreheads:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save
he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name.18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and
his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
--------------Chapter 14
1 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.2 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:3 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.4 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.5 And in their mouth was found no guile:
for they are without fault before the throne of God.6 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,7 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.8 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.9 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.
--------------Chapter 15
1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great
and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is
filled up the wrath of God.2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass
mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and
over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on
the sea of glass, having the harps of God.3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb,
saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true
are thy ways, thou King of saints.4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and
glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship
before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the
temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:6 And the seven angels came out of the
temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having
their breasts girded with golden girdles.7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the
seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever
and ever.8 And the temple was filled with smoke from
the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the
temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
--------------Chapter 16
1 And I heard a great voice out of the
temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the
wrath of God upon the earth.2 And the first went, and poured out his
vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his
image.3 And the second angel poured out his vial
upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul
died in the sea.4 And the third angel poured out his vial
upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.5 And I heard the angel of the waters say,
Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou
hast judged thus.6 For they have shed the blood of saints
and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are
worthy.7 And I heard another out of the altar say,
Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial
upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.9 And men were scorched with great heat,
and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they
repented not to give him glory.10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial
upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed
their tongues for pain,11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because
of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial
upon the great river Euphrates; and the water
thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be
prepared.13 And I saw three unclean spirits like
frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false prophet.14 For they are the spirits of devils, working
miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.15 Behold, I come as a
thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk
naked, and they see his shame.16 And he gathered them together into a
place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial
into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from
the throne, saying, It is done.18 And there were voices, and thunders, and
lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were
upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.19 And the great city was divided into three
parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came
in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the
fierceness of his wrath.20 And every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found.21 And there fell upon men a great hail out
of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God
because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
-------------Chapter 17
1 And there came one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I
will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many
waters:2 With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk
with the wine of her fornication.3 So he carried me away in the spirit into
the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of
names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a
golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication:5 And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH.6 And I saw the woman drunken with the
blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration.7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore
didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast
that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is
not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and
they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the
book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that
was, and is not, and yet is.9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.10 And there are seven kings: five are
fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must
continue a short space.11 And the beast that was, and is not, even
he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are
ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings
one hour with the beast.13 These have one mind, and shall give their
power and strength unto the beast.14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and
the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and
they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.15 And he saith unto me, The waters which
thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,
and tongues.16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon
the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked,
and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his
will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of
God shall be fulfilled.18 And the woman which thou sawest is that
great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
--------------Chapter 18
1 And after these things I saw another
angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened
with his glory.2 And he cried mightily with a strong
voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen,
is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the
abundance of her delicacies.4 And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and
that ye receive not of her plagues.5 For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered her iniquities.6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double
unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill
to her double.7 How much she hath glorified herself, and
lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her
heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one
day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with
fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.9 And the kings of the earth, who have
committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and
lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,10 Standing afar off for the fear of her
torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon,
that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep
and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and
precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and
scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner
vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments,
and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and
sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are
departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.15 The merchants of these things, which were
made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and
wailing,16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that
was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
precious stones, and pearls!17 For in one hour so great riches is come to
nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as
many as trade by sea, stood afar off,18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her
burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!19 And they cast dust on their heads, and
cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were
made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one
hour is she made desolate.20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye
holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great
millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that
great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall
be found no more at all.22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians,
and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no
craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the
sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;23 And the light of a candle shall shine no
more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be
heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the
earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and
of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
---------------Chapter 19
1 And after these things I heard a great
voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and
honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:2 For true and righteous are his judgments:
for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her
fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her
smoke rose up for ever and ever.4 And the four and twenty elders and the
four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;
Alleluia.5 And a voice came out of the throne,
saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small
and great.6 And I heard as it were the voice of a
great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty
thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour
to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself
ready.8 And to her was granted that she should be
arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness
of saints.9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are
they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto
me, These are the true sayings of God.10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.
And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy
brethren that have the testimony of Jesus:
worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is
the spirit of prophecy.11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a
white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war.12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on
his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he
himself.13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped
in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.14 And the armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that
with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron:
and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty
God.16 And he hath on his vesture and on his
thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun;
and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst
of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great
God;18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and
the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses,
and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond,
both small and great.19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the
earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on
the horse, and against his army.20 And the beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them
that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.21 And the remnant were slain with the sword
of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all
the fowls were filled with their flesh.
-------------Chapter 20
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and
bound him a thousand years,3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and
shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no
more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be
loosed a little season.4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon
them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the
word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither
had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived
and reigned with Christ a thousand
years.5 But the rest of the dead lived not again
until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in
the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall
be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign
with him a thousand years.7 And when the thousand years are
expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his
prison,8 And shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog,
to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the
sea.9 And they went up on the breadth of the
earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and
fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.10 And the devil that deceived them was cast
into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.11 And I saw a great white throne, and him
that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there
was found no place for them.12 And I saw the dead, small and great,
stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which
is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were
written in the books, according to their works.13 And the sea gave up the dead which were
in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they
were judged every man according to their works.14 And death and hell were cast into the
lake of fire. This is the second death.15 And whosoever was not found written in
the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
--------------Chapter 21
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no
more sea.2 And I John saw
the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their
God.4 And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed
away.5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are
true and faithful.6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is
athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.7 He that overcometh shall inherit all
things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and
all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.9 And there came unto me one of the seven
angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked
with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's
wife.10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great
and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,11 Having the glory of God: and her light
was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as
crystal;12 And had a wall great and high, and had
twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which
are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:13 On the east three gates; on the north three
gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.14 And the wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.15 And he that talked with me had a golden
reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the
length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed,
twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are
equal.17 And he measured the wall thereof, an
hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is,
of the angel.18 And the building of the wall of it was of
jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.19 And the foundations of the wall of the
city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation
was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an
emerald;20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius;
the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls:
every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold,
as it were transparent glass.22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.23 And the city had no need of the sun,
neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and
the Lamb is the light thereof.24 And the nations of them which are saved
shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory
and honour into it.25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at
all by day: for there shall be no night there.26 And they shall bring the glory and honour
of the nations into it.27 And there shall in no wise enter into it
any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a
lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
--------------Chapter 22
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of
life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the
Lamb.2 In the midst of the street of it, and on
either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner
of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were
for the healing of the nations.3 And there shall be no more curse: but the
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve
him:4 And they shall see his face; and his name
shall be in their foreheads.5 And there shall be no night there; and
they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them
light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.6 And he said unto me, These sayings are
faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew
unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.7 Behold, I come quickly:
blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.8 And I John saw
these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to
worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it
not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the
sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust
still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy
still.12 And, behold, I come
quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work
shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city.15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers,
and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify
unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.18 For I testify unto every man that heareth
the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:19 And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written
in this book.20 He which testifieth these things
saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so,
come, Lord Jesus.21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you all. Amen.
