‏ Revelation of John 14

The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion

1 Then I looked, and behold, athe Lamb was standing on bMount Zion, and with Him c144,000 who had dHis name and the ename of His Father written fon their foreheads. 2And I heard a voice from heaven, like gthe sound of many waters and like the hsound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of iharpists playing on their harps. 3And they *sang
One early ms something like a new song
ka new song before the throne and before the lfour living creatures and the melders; and nno one was able to learn the song except the o144,000 who had been ppurchased from the earth.
4 qThese are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are celibate. These are the ones who rfollow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been spurchased from mankind tas first fruits to God and to the Lamb. 5And uno lie was found in their mouths; they are vblameless.

Vision of the Angel with the Gospel

6 And I saw another angel flying in wmidheaven with xan eternal gospel to preach to ythose who
Lit sit
live on the earth, and to aaevery nation, tribe, language, and people;
7and he said with a loud voice, “ abFear God and acgive Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who admade the heaven and the earth, and sea and aesprings of waters.”

8 And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, “
Lit Babylon...fell, fell, she who
agFallen, fallen is ahBabylon the great, she who has aimade all the nations drink of the ajwine of the
Or wrath (incurred from God)
passion of her sexual immorality.”

Doom for Worshipers of the Beast

9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone alworships the beast and his amimage, and receives a anmark on his forehead or on his hand, 10he also will drink of the aowine of the wrath of God, which is mixed
Lit unmixed; in ancient times wine was usually diluted with water
in full strength aqin the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with arfire and
I.e., burning sulfur
brimstone in the presence of the atholy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
11And the ausmoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; avthey have no rest day and night, those who awworship the beast and his aximage, and
Lit if anyone
whoever receives the azmark of his name.”
12Here is bathe
Or steadfastness
perseverance of the
Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s people
saints who bdkeep the commandments of God and
Lit the faith of
bftheir faith in Jesus.

13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write: ‘ bgBlessed are the dead who bhdie in the Lord from now on!’” “Yes,” bisays the Spirit, “so that they may bjrest from their labors, for their bkdeeds follow with them.”

The Harvest

14 Then I looked, and behold, a blwhite cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one bmlike
Or the Son of Man
a son of man, with a golden bocrown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.
15And another angel bpcame out of the
Or sanctuary
temple, calling out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “
Lit Send forth
bsPut in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the btharvest of the earth
Lit has become dry
is ripe.”
16Then He who sat on the cloud
Lit cast
swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel bwcame out of the
Or sanctuary
temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.
18Then another angel, bythe one who has power over fire, came out from bzthe altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “
Lit Send forth
cbPut in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters
Lit of
from the vine of the earth, cdbecause her grapes are ripe.”
19So the angel
Lit cast
swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into cfthe great wine press of the wrath of God.
20And cgthe wine press was trampled choutside the city, and ciblood came out from the wine press, up to the horses’ bridles,
Lit from
for a distance of
Possibly about 184 miles or 296 km; a Roman stadion perhaps averaged 607 ft. or 185 m
1,600 stadia.
