Revelation 14:2-20
2And I heardG191 a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772, likeG5613 1the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204 and likeG5613 the 2soundG5456 of loudG3173 thunderG1027, and the voiceG5456 whichG3739 I heardG191 was likeG5613 the sound of 3harpistsG2790 playingG2789 on their harpsG2788. 3And they sangG103 45a newG2537 songG5603 beforeG1799 the throneG2362 and beforeG1799 the 6fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 7eldersG4245; and 8noG3762 oneG3762 was ableG1410 to learnG3129 the songG5603 exceptG1508 the 9144,000G1540G5065G5064G5505 who had been 10purchasedG59 from the earthG1093. 411TheseG3778 are the ones who have not defiledG3435 themselves with womenG1135, for they are celibateG3933. TheseG3778 are the ones who 12followG190 the LambG721 whereverG3699G302 He goesG5217. TheseG3778 have been 13purchasedG59 from mankindG444 14as firstG536 fruitsG536 to GodG2316 and to the LambG721. 5And 15noG3756 lieG5579 was foundG2147 in their mouthsG4750; they are 16blamelessG299.
6And I sawG3708 anotherG243 angelG32 flyingG4072 in 17midheavenG3321 withG2192 18an eternalG166 gospelG2098 to preachG2097 to 19thoseG3588 who 20liveG2521 on the earthG1093, and to 21everyG3956 nationG1484, tribeG5443, languageG1100, and peopleG2992; 7and he saidG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “22FearG5399 GodG2316 and 23giveG1325 Him gloryG1391, becauseG3754 the hourG5610 of His judgmentG2920 has comeG2064; worshipG4352 Him who 24madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093, and seaG2281 and 25springsG4077 of waters.”
8And anotherG243 angelG32, a secondG1208 oneG1208, followedG190, sayingG3004, “2627FallenG4098, fallenG4098 is 28BabylonG897 the greatG3173, she whoG3739 has 29madeG4222 allG3956 the nationsG1484 drinkG4222 of the 30wineG3631 of the 31passionG2372 of her sexualG4202 immoralityG4202.”
9ThenG2532 anotherG243 angelG32, a thirdG5154 oneG5154, followedG190 them, sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “IfG1487 anyoneG5100 32worshipsG4352 the beastG2342 and his 33imageG1504, and receivesG2983 a 34markG5480 on his foreheadG3359 orG2228 on his handG5495, 10he alsoG2532 will drinkG4095 of the 35wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of GodG2316, which is mixedG2767 36in fullG194 strengthG194 37in the cupG4221 of His angerG3709; and he will be tormentedG928 with 38fireG4442 and 39brimstoneG2303 inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 the 40holyG40 angelsG32 and inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 the LambG721. 11And the 41smokeG2586 of their tormentG929 ascendsG305 foreverG165 and everG165; 42they haveG2192 noG3756 restG372 dayG2250 and nightG3571, thoseG3588 who 43worshipG4352 the beastG2342 and his 44imageG1504, and 45whoeverG1487G5100 receivesG2983 the 46markG5480 of his nameG3686.” 12HereG5602 is 47the 48perseveranceG5281 of the 49saintsG40 who 50keepG5083 the commandmentsG1785 of GodG2316 and 5152their faithG4102 in JesusG2424.
13And I heardG191 a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772, sayingG3004, “WriteG1125: ‘53BlessedG3107 are the deadG3498 who 54dieG599 in the LordG2962 from nowG737 on!’” “YesG3483,” 55saysG3004 the SpiritG4151, “soG2443 thatG2443 they may 56restG373 from their laborsG2873, for their 57deedsG2041 followG190 with them.”
14ThenG2532 I lookedG3708, and beholdG2400, a 58whiteG3022 cloudG3507, and sittingG2521 on the cloudG3507 was oneG3664 59likeG3664 60a sonG5207 of manG444, withG2192 a goldenG5552 61crownG4735 on His headG2776 and a sharpG3691 sickleG1407 in His handG5495. 15And anotherG243 angelG32 62cameG1831 outG1831 of the 63templeG3485, callingG2896 outG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 to Him who satG2521 on the cloudG3507, “6465PutG3992 inG3992 Your sickleG1407 and reapG2325, for the hourG5610 to reapG2325 has comeG2064, becauseG3754 the 66harvestG2326 of the earthG1093 67is ripeG3583.” 16ThenG2532 He who satG2521 on the cloudG3507 68swungG906 His sickleG1407 overG1909 the earthG1093, and the earthG1093 was reapedG2325.
17And anotherG243 angelG32 69cameG1831 outG1831 of the 70templeG3485 whichG3588 is in heavenG3772, and he alsoG2532 hadG2192 a sharpG3691 sickleG1407. 18ThenG2532 anotherG243 angelG32, 71the one who hasG2192 powerG1849 overG1909 fireG4442, cameG1831 outG1831 from 72the altarG2379; and he calledG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 to him who hadG2192 the sharpG3691 sickleG1407, sayingG3004, “7374PutG3992 inG3992 your sharpG3691 sickleG1407 and gatherG5166 the clustersG1009 75from the vineG288 of the earthG1093, 76becauseG3754 her grapesG4718 are ripeG187.” 19SoG2532 the angelG32 77swungG906 his sickleG1407 to the earthG1093 and gatheredG5166 the clusters from the vineG288 of the earthG1093, and threwG906 them into 78the greatG3173 wineG3025 pressG3025 of the wrathG2372 of GodG2316. 20And 79the wineG3025 pressG3025 was trampledG3961 80outsideG1855 the cityG4172, and 81bloodG129 cameG1831 outG1831 from the wineG3025 pressG3025, up to the horses’G2462 bridlesG5469, 82for a distanceG575 of 831,600G1812 stadiaG4712.
