Revelation 14 1Then I looked, and there was a lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had the lamb's name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. 2And I heard a voice out of heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like a great clap of thunder. The voice that I heard was like harpists playing their harps. 3And they sing a new song before the throne and the four living creatures and the elders, but nobody can learn the song except for the 144,000 who have been redeemed from the earth. 4These are the ones who have not been defiled by women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from among people, the first-fruit for God and the lamb. 5And in their mouth is found no lie, for they are without moral fault.
Message of the Three Angels 6And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, who had the eternal good news to proclaim to those who live on the earth, and to every nationality, tribe, language, and people. 7He said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because his judgment time has come, and worship the one who made heaven, earth, the sea, and the water sources."
2nd Angel 8Then I saw another angel following him, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen! She has fallen! She made all nations drink the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
3rd Angel 9And a third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10they will drink of the wine that is God's wrath, poured out undiluted in the cup of his anger, and they will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and the lamb." 11And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image or receive the mark of his name have no rest 24 hours a day. 12Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commands of God and the faithfulness of Jesus.
13And I heard a voice out of heave saying, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die as servants of the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, so that they may rest from their toils. Their deeds follow after them. 14And I looked, and there was a white cloud, and someone like a human being was sitting on the cloud. He had a golden crown on his head and in his hand was a sharp sickle. 15And another angel went out of the sanctuary, shouting in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, "Use your sickle and start harvesting, because it's now time to harvest, because the earth's harvest is ready. 16And the one sitting on the cloud used his sickle on the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17And another angel came out of the sanctuary that is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. 18And another angel came out of the altar, who had authority over fire, and he shouted with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, "Use your sharp sickle and gather the grapes of the vineyard of the earth, because the grapes are ripe. 19And the angel used his sickle on the earth, and he harvested the vineyard of the earth, and he threw the grapes into the winepress of the wrath of the Great God. 20And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress up to the bridles of horses, 1,600 stadia (181 miles).
