1And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred forty-four thousand who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
2And I heard a voice from heaven like the voice of many waters and like the voice of a great thunder, and the voice that I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps.
3And they sing like a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who were purchased from the earth.
4These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins; these follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were purchased from among humans as a firstfruit for God and the Lamb,
5And in their mouth no lie was found; they are blameless.
6And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and language and people,
7Saying with a loud voice: Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the springs of waters.
8And another second angel followed, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, she who made all the nations drink from the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice: If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10And he will drink from the wine of the wrath of God, mixed unmixed in the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur before the holy angels and before the Lamb.
11And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, those who worship the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.
12Here is the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13And 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 works follow with them.
14And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud one like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, Send your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth has dried up.
16And the one seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, also having a sharp sickle.
18And another angel came out of the altar, having authority over the fire, and he called out with a loud voice to the one having the sharp sickle, saying, Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth, because its grapes have ripened.
19And the angel threw his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the winepress of the great wrath of God.
20And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress as far as the bridles of the horses, for a distance of one thousand six hundred stadia.
