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:
12:2: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to
be delivered. 12:3: 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. 12:4: 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. 12:5: 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. 12:6: 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. 12:7: And there was war in heaven: Michael
and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels, 12:8: And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
heaven. 12:9: 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. 12:10: 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.
12:11: 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. 12:12:
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.
12:13: And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he
persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 12:14: 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. 12:15: 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. 12:16: 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. 12:17: 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. 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. 13:2: 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. 13:3: 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. 13:4: 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? 13:5: 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. 13:6: And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them
that dwell in heaven. 13:7: 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. 13:8: 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. 13:9: If any man have an ear, let
him hear. 13:10: 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. 13:11: 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. 13:12: 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. 13:13: And he doeth great
wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the
sight of men, 13:14: 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. 13:15: 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. 13:16: 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: 13:17: 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. 13:18: 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. 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. 14:2: 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: 14:3:
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. 14:4:
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.
14:5: And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault
before the throne of God. 14:6: 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, 14:7:
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. 14:8: 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. 14:9: 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, 14:10: 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: 14:11: 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. 14:12: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they
that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 14:13: 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.> 14:14:
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. 14:15: 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. 14:16: And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the
earth; and the earth was reaped. 14:17: And another angel came out of the
temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 14:18: 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. 14:19: 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. 14:20: 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. 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. 15:2: 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. 15:3: 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. 15:4: 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. 15:5: And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the
tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 15:6: 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.
15:7: 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. 15:8: 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.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. 16:2: 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. 16:3: 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. 16:4: And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they became blood. 16:5: 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. 16:6: For they have shed the blood of
saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are
worthy. 16:7: And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God
Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 16:8: And the fourth angel
poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch
men with fire. 16:9: 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. 16:10: 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, 16:11: And blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
16:12: 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. 16:13: 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. 16:14: 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. 16:15: Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
shame. 16:16: And he gathered them together into a place called in the
Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 16:17: 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. 16:18: 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.
16:19: 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. 16:20:
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 16:21: 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. 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: 17:2: 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. 17:3: 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. 17:4: 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: 17:5:
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 17:6: 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. 17:7: 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. 17:8: 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. 17:9: And here is the
mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the
woman sitteth. 17:10: 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. 17:11: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the
eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 17:12: 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. 17:13: These have
one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 17:14:
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. 17:15: And he saith unto me, The waters
which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes,
and nations, and tongues. 17:16: 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. 17:17: 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. 17:18:
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over
the kings of the earth. 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. 18:2: 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. 18:3: 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. 18:4: 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. 18:5: For her sins have reached
unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 18:6: 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. 18:7: 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. 18:8: 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. 18:9: 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, 18:10: 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. 18:11: And the merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 18:12: 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, 18:13: 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. 18:14: 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. 18:15: The merchants of these
things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of
her torment, weeping and wailing, 18:16: 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! 18:17: 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,
18:18: And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city
is like unto this great city! 18:19: 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. 18:20: Rejoice over her,
thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you
on her. 18:21: 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. 18:22: 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; 18:23: 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. 18:24:
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that
were slain upon the earth.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: 19:2: 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. 19:3: And again
they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 19:4: And
the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped
God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 19:5: 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. 19:6: 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. 19:7: 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.
19:8: 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. 19:9:
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. 19:10: 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. 19:11: 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. 19:12: 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. 19:13: And he was clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 19:14: And the
armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in
fine linen, white and clean. 19:15: 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. 19:16: And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh
a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 19:17: 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; 19:18: 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. 19:19: 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. 19:20:
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. 19:21: 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. 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. 20:2: And he laid hold
on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound
him a thousand years, 20:3: 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. 20:4: 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. 20:5: But the rest of the dead lived not again
until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6: 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. 20:7: And when the
thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 20:8:
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. 20:9: 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. 20:10:
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. 20:11: 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. 20:12: 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. 20:13: 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. 20:14: And death and hell were
cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 20:15: And whosoever
was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
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. 21:2: And I John
saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 21:3: 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. 21:4: 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. 21:5: 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. 21:6: 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. 21:7: He that overcometh shall
inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 21:8:
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. 21:9: 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. 21:10:
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, 21:11: Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a
stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 21:12:
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: 21:13: On the east three gates;
on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three
gates. 21:14: And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them
the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 21:15: And he that talked
with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and
the wall thereof. 21:16: 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. 21:17: 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.
21:18: And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was
pure gold, like unto clear glass. 21:19: 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; 21:20: The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21:21:
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. 21:22: And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and
the Lamb are the temple of it. 21:23: 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. 21:24: 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. 21:25: And the gates of it shall not
be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 21:26: And they
shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 21:27: 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. 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.
22:2: 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. 22:3: 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: 22:4: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
foreheads. 22:5: 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. 22:6: 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.
22:7: Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of
the prophecy of this book. 22:8: 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. 22:9: 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.
22:10: And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand. 22:11: 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. 22:12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me,
to give every man according as his work shall be. 22:13: I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 22:14: 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. 22:15: For without
are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters,
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 22:16: 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. 22:17: 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. 22:18: 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: 22:19: 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. 22:20: He which testifieth
these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
22:21: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen. |
