“1 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. 2 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: 3 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. 4 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 firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their
mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne
of God.”
“6 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, 7 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. 8 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. 9 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,
10 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: 11 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. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep
the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
“13 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 labours; and their works do follow
them. 14 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. 15 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. 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in
his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 17 And another angel
came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp
sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had 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. 19 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. 20 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.” (Revelation 14:1-20 AV)
