Revelation 14:6-20

6And I saw another angel flying in 1midheaven with 2an eternal gospel to preach to 3those who 4live on the earth, and to 5every nation, tribe, language, and people; 7and he said with a loud voice, “6Fear God and 7give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who 8made the heaven and the earth, and sea and 9springs of waters.”

8And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, “1011Fallen, fallen is 12Babylon the great, she who has 13made all the nations drink of the 14wine of the 15passion of her sexual immorality.”

9Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone 16worships the beast and his 17image, and receives a 18mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10he also will drink of the 19wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed 20in full strength 21in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with 22fire and 23brimstone in the presence of the 24holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11And the 25smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; 26they have no rest day and night, those who 27worship the beast and his 28image, and 29whoever receives the 30mark of his name.” 12Here is 31the 32perseverance of the 33saints who 34keep the commandments of God and 3536their faith in Jesus.

13And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write: ‘37Blessed are the dead who 38die in the Lord from now on!’” “Yes,” 39says the Spirit, “so that they may 40rest from their labors, for their 41deeds follow with them.”

14Then I looked, and behold, a 42white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one 43like 44a son of man, with a golden 45crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand. 15And another angel 46came out of the 47temple, calling out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “4849Put in Your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the 50harvest of the earth 51is ripe.” 16Then He who sat on the cloud 52swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17And another angel 53came out of the 54temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. 18Then another angel, 55the one who has power over fire, came out from 56the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “5758Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters 59from the vine of the earth, 60because her grapes are ripe.” 19So the angel 61swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into 62the great wine press of the wrath of God. 20And 63the wine press was trampled 64outside the city, and 65blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses’ bridles, 66for a distance of 671,600 stadia.
