Chapter 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.
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.
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.
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 first fruits unto God and to the
Lamb.
And in their mouth was found no guile, for they are without fault before the
throne of God.
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, 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.
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.
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, 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.
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.
Here is the patience of the saints.
Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
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 labors, and their works do follow them.
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.
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.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was
reaped.
And another angel came out of the temple, which is in heaven, he also having a sharp
sickle.
And another angel came out from the altar, which had the 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.
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.
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.
