Revelation 18

1

After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor.

2

And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird;

3

for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness."

4

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues;

5

for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

6

Render to her as she herself has rendered, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double draught for her in the cup she mixed.

7

As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in her heart she says, 'A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,'

8

so shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."

9

And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning;

10

they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has thy judgment come."

11

And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo any more,

12

cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,

13

cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.

14

"The fruit for which thy soul longed has gone from thee, and all thy dainties and thy splendor are lost to thee, never to be found again!"

15

The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

16

"Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!

17

In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off

18

and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the great city?"

19

And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.

20

Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!"

21

Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and shall be found no more;

22

and the sound of harpers and minstrels, of flute players and trumpeters, shall be heard in thee no more; and a craftsman of any craft shall be found in thee no more; and the sound of the millstone shall be heard in thee no more;

23

and the light of a lamp shall shine in thee no more; and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard in thee no more; for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and all nations were deceived by thy sorcery.

24

And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth."

Revelation 19

1

After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

2

for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

3

Once more they cried, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever."

4

And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"

5

And from the throne came a voice crying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great."

6

Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

7

Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;

8

it was granted her to be clothed with fine linen, bright and pure" --for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

9

And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God."

10

Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11

Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

12

His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself.

13

He is clad in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.

14

And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses.

15

From his mouth issues a sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

16

On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord of lords.

17

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, "Come, gather for the great supper of God,

18

to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great."

19

And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army.

20

And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.

21

And the rest were slain by the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issues from his mouth; and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

Revelation 20

1

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain.

2

And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

3

and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

4

Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5

The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

6

Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.

7

And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

8

and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.

9

And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,

10

and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11

Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

12

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

13

And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done.

14

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire;

15

and if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21

1

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

2

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;

3

and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them;

4

he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."

5

And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."

6

And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of life without payment.

7

He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son.

8

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

9

Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb."

10

And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

11

having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

12

It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed;

13

on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.

14

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15

And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.

16

The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth; and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height are equal.

17

He also measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits by a man's measure, that is, an angel's.

18

The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, clear as glass.

19

The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

20

the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

21

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

22

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

23

And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24

By its light shall the nations walk; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory into it,

25

and its gates shall never be shut by day--and there shall be no night there;

26

they shall bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.

27

But nothing unclean shall enter it, nor any one who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 22

1

Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2

through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3

There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him;

4

they shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads.

5

And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6

And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.

7

And behold, I am coming soon." Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

8

I John am he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me;

9

but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."

10

And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

11

Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy."

12

"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done.

13

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."

14

Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.

15

Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and every one who loves and practices falsehood.

16

"I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star."

17

The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let him who hears say, "Come." And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price.

18

I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,

19

and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

20

He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

21

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
