Revelation 13
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.
Revelation 14
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.
