The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion |
|
|
 |
|
Revelation 14:1
|
|
Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing
on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name
and the name of His Father written on their foreheads. |
|
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:2
|
|
And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound
of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard
was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 14:3
|
|
And they *sang
a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders;
and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand
who had been purchased from the earth. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 14:4
|
|
These are the ones who have not been defiled
with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow
the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits
to God and to the Lamb. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 14:5
|
|
And no lie was found in their mouth; they are
blameless. |

Vision of the Angel with the Gospel |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 14:6
|
|
And I saw another angel flying in midheaven,
having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every
nation and tribe and tongue and people; |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 14:7
|
|
and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God, and
give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made
the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters." |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:8
|
|
And another angel, a second one, followed, saying,
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of
the wine of the passion of her immorality." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Doom for Worshipers of the Beast |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:9
|
|
Then another angel, a third one, followed them,
saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives
a mark on his forehead or on his hand, |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:10
|
|
he also will drink of the wine of the wrath
of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the
presence of the Lamb. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:11
|
|
"And the smoke of their torment goes up forever
and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his
image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:12
|
|
Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep
the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:13
|
|
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, "Write,
'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!'" "Yes," says the Spirit,
"so that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Reapers |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:14
|
|
Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and
sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man, having a golden crown on His head
and a sharp sickle in His hand. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:15
|
|
And another angel came out of the temple, crying
out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Put in your sickle and reap,
for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe." |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:16
|
|
Then He who sat on the cloud swung His sickle
over the earth, and the earth was reaped. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:17
|
|
And another angel came out of the temple which
is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:18
|
|
Then another angel, the one who has power over
fire, came out from the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had
the sharp sickle, saying, "Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from
the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe." |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 14:19
|
|
So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and
gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great
wine press of the wrath of God. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 14:20
|
|
And the wine press was trodden outside the city,
and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a distance
of two hundred miles. |
