REVELATION CHAPTER XIV


[1 The Lamb standing on mount Sion with his company, 6 an angel preacheth
the gospel; 8 another proclaimeth the fall of Babylon, 15 the harvest of the world...]

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 first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guilt: 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 labors; 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 wine-press of the wrath of God. 
20 And the wine-press was trodden without the 
city, and blood came out of the wine-press, even 
unto the horse-bridles, by the space of a thousand 
and six hundred furlongs.
