14Revelation 14

1Then I looked, and I saw the Lamb standing upon Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 people, having His name and His Father's name written on their foreheads.Select Revelation 14:1

2And I heard music from Heaven which resembled the sound of many waters and the roar of loud thunder; and the music which I heard was like that of harpists playing upon their harps.Select Revelation 14:2

3And they were singing what seemed to be a new song, in front of the throne and in the presence of the four living creatures and the Elders; and no one was able to learn that song except the 144,000 people who had been redeemed out of the world.Select Revelation 14:3

4These are those who had not defiled themselves with women: they are as pure as virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from among men, as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.Select Revelation 14:4

5And no lie has ever been found upon their lips: they are faultless.Select Revelation 14:5

6And I saw another angel flying across the sky, carrying the Good News of the Ages to tell to every nation, tribe, language and people, among those who live on the earth.Select Revelation 14:6

7He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory, because the time of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made sky and earth, the sea and the water-springs."Select Revelation 14:7

8And another, a second angel, followed, exclaiming, "Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen--she who made all the nations drink the wine of the anger provoked by her fornication."Select Revelation 14:8

9And another, a third angel, followed them, exclaiming in a loud voice, "If any one worships the Wild Beast and his statue, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,Select Revelation 14:9

10he shall drink the wine of God's anger which stands ready, undiluted, in the cup of His fury, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.Select Revelation 14:10

11And the smoke of their torment goes up until the Ages of the Ages; and the worshipers of the Wild Beast and his statue have no rest day or night, nor has any one who receives the mark of his name.Select Revelation 14:11

12Here is an opportunity for endurance on the part of God's people, who carefully keep His commandments and the faith of Jesus!"Select Revelation 14:12

13And I heard a voice speaking from Heaven. It said, "Write as follows: "`Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from this time onward. Yes, says the Spirit, let them rest from their sorrowful labours; for what they have done goes with them.'"Select Revelation 14:13

14Then I looked, and a white cloud appeared, and sitting on the cloud was some One resembling the Son of Man, having a wreath of gold upon His head and in His hand a sharp sickle.Select Revelation 14:14

15And another, an angel, came out of the sanctuary, calling in a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, and saying, "Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the hour for reaping it has come: the harvest of the earth is over-ripe."Select Revelation 14:15

16Then He who sat on the cloud flung His sickle on the earth, and the earth had its harvest reaped.Select Revelation 14:16

17And another angel came out from the sanctuary in Heaven, and he too carried a sharp sickle.Select Revelation 14:17

18And another angel came out from the altar--he who had power over fire--and he spoke in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Use your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are now quite ripe."Select Revelation 14:18

19And the angel flung his sickle down to the earth, and reaped the vine of the earth and threw the grapes into the great winepress of God's anger.Select Revelation 14:19

20And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and out of it came blood reaching the horses' bridles for a distance of 200 miles.Select Revelation 14:20
