\subsection{Revelation 14}
|
|
\VS{1} And I looked, and behold the lamb standing on mount Zion, and with him an
|
|
hundred forty four thousand having his name and the name of his father
|
|
written upon their foreheads.
|
|
\VS{2} And I heard [a] voice from heaven like
|
|
[the] voice of many waters and like [the] voice of great thunder, and the voice which
|
|
I heard was of harpists harping with their harps.
|
|
\VS{3} And they sang [a] new
|
|
song before the throne and before the four living [creatures] and the elders, and no
|
|
one was able to learn the song except the hundred forty four thousand, who
|
|
were bought from the land.
|
|
\VS{4} These are those who have not been defiled
|
|
with women, for they are virgin. These [are] the [ones] following the lamb wherever he
|
|
leads. These were bought from men, first-fruits to God and to the lamb,
|
|
\VS{5} and in their mouth is not found falsehood, they are blameless.
|
|
\VS{6} And I saw another second angel flying in the mid-heaven, having the eternal
|
|
good-news to goodnews to those having sat upon the earth and to every nation
|
|
and tribe and tongue and people,
|
|
\VS{7} Saying with [a] great voice: Fear God
|
|
and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship the
|
|
[one] having made heaven and the land and sea and the fountains of waters.
|
|
\VS{8} And another angel followed saying: Fallen, fallen in Babylon the
|
|
great, who made all the nations drink from the wine of the wrath of her
|
|
fornication.
|
|
\VS{9} And another third angel followed them saying with [a] great
|
|
voice: If anyone worships the wild-beast and his image, and receives [his] mark
|
|
upon his forehead or right hand,
|
|
\VS{10} he himself shall also drink of the
|
|
wine of the wrath of God mingled unmixed in the cup of his wrath, and he
|
|
will be tormented in fire and sulfur before the holy angels and before the
|
|
lamb.
|
|
\VS{11} And the smoke of their torment ascends to the eons of eons,
|
|
and they have no rest day and night, those worshipping the wild-beast and
|
|
his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
|
|
\VS{12} Here is the
|
|
endurance of the holy [ones], those keeping the commandments of God and the faith
|
|
of Iesous.
|
|
\VS{13} And I heard [a] voice from heaven saying: Write: Blessed
|
|
[are] the dead in the Lord having died from henceforth. Yes, says the Lord, in
|
|
order that they rest from their labors. For their works follow them.
|
|
\VS{14} And I saw, and behold [a] white cloud, and upon the cloud [one] having sat like
|
|
[the] son of man, having upon his head [a] golden crown and in his hand [a] sharp
|
|
sickle.
|
|
|
|
\VS{15} And another angel went out from the temple, crying out with [a] great
|
|
voice to the [one] having sat upon the cloud: Send [forth] your sickle and harvest, for
|
|
the hour to harvest has come, for the harvest of the land is ripe.
|
|
\VS{16} And the [one] having sat upon the cloud threw [forth] his sickle upon the land, and the land was harvested.
|
|
\VS{17} And another angel went out from the temple in
|
|
heaven, also having [a] sharp sickle.
|
|
\VS{18} And another angel went out from
|
|
the altar, the [one] having authority over the fire, and he cried with [a] great cry
|
|
to the [one] having the sharp sickle, saying: Send [forth] your sharp sickle and
|
|
gather the bunches of the vine of the land, for its grapes are ripe.
|
|
\VS{19} And
|
|
the angel threw [forth] his sickle to the land, and gathered the vine of the land
|
|
and threw [it] into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
|
|
\VS{20} And the
|
|
winepress was trod outside the city, and blood went out from the winepress
|
|
to the horses' bridles, for sixty thousand stadiums\footnote{about 7000
|
|
miles (1 stade equals approximately 600 feet)}.
