Revelation 14

The Lamb and the 144,000

Then I looked, and behold, ¹a ^aLamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him ^bone hundred and forty-four thousand, ²having His Father’s name ^cwritten on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, ^alike the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of ^bharpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song ^aexcept the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, ^afor they are virgins. These are the ones ^bwho follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These ^cwere ¹redeemed from among men, ^dbeing firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And ^ain their mouth was found no ¹deceit, for ^bthey are without fault ²before the throne of God.

The Proclamations of Three Angels

6 Then I saw another angel ^aflying in the midst of heaven, ^bhaving the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—^cto every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, ^a“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; ^band worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
8 And another angel followed, saying, ^a“Babylon¹ is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because ^bshe has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ^a“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his ^bmark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself ^ashall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is ^bpoured out full strength into ^cthe cup of His indignation. ^dHe shall be tormented with ^efire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And ^athe smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
12 ^aHere is the ¹patience of the saints; ^bhere² are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying ¹to me, “Write: ^a‘Blessed are the dead ^bwho die in the Lord from now on.’ ”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, ^c“that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow ^dthem.”

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel ^acame out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, ^b“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come ¹for You to reap, for the harvest ^cof the earth is ripe.” 16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Reaping the Grapes of Wrath

17 Then 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, ^awho had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, ^b“Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into ^athe great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And ^athe winepress was trampled ^boutside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, ^cup to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred ¹furlongs.
