Book 66 Revelation

66:001:001 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

66:001:002 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

66:001:003 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

66:001:004 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto
           you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is
           to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his
           throne;

66:001:005 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the
           first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the
           earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
           his own blood,

66:001:006 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

66:001:007 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,
and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth
shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

66:001:008 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the
Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty.

66:001:009 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

66:001:010 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

66:001:011 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

66:001:012 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

66:001:013 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

66:001:014 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;
and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

66:001:015 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a
furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

66:001:016 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth
went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the
sun shineth in his strength.

66:001:017 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid
his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the
first and the last:

66:001:018 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

66:001:019 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which
are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

66:001:020 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

66:002:001 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

66:002:002 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

66:002:003 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast
laboured, and hast not fainted.

66:002:004 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast
left thy first love.

66:002:005 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

66:002:006 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

66:002:007 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

66:002:008 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

66:002:009 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

66:002:010 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

66:002:011 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

66:002:012 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

66:002:013 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's
           seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my
           faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful
           martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

66:002:014 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there
           them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to
           cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat
           things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

66:002:015 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

66:002:016 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight
against them with the sword of my mouth.

66:002:017 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

66:002:018 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These
things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a
flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

66:002:019 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy
patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the
first.

66:002:020 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

66:002:021 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

66:002:022 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit
adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent
of their deeds.

66:002:023 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches
shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts:
and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

66:002:024 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as
have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of
Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

66:002:025 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

66:002:026 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

66:002:027 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

66:002:028 And I will give him the morning star.

66:002:029 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

66:003:001 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

66:003:002 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

66:003:003 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

66:003:004 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

66:003:005 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

66:003:006 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

66:003:007 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

66:003:008 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

66:003:009 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

66:003:010 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

66:003:011 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

66:003:012 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

66:003:013 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

66:003:014 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

66:003:015 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would
thou wert cold or hot.

66:003:016 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I
will spue thee out of my mouth.

66:003:017 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

66:003:018 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

66:003:019 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

66:003:020 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me.

66:003:021 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my
throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my
Father in his throne.

66:003:022 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

66:004:001 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

66:004:002 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

66:004:003 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine
stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in
sight like unto an emerald.

66:004:004 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and
upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed
in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

66:004:005 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and
voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the
throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

66:004:006 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto
crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the
throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

66:004:007 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like
a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the
fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

66:004:008 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

66:004:009 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

66:004:010 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on
the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and
cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

66:004:011 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and
power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure
they are and were created.

66:005:001 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a
book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven
seals.

66:005:002 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is
worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

66:005:003 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth,
was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

66:005:004 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and
to read the book, neither to look thereon.

66:005:005 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the
Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed
to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

66:005:006 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

66:005:007 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

66:005:008 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and
           twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of
           them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the
           prayers of saints.

66:005:009 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the
           book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and
           hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and
           tongue, and people, and nation;

66:005:010 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

66:005:011 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

66:005:012 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

66:005:013 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

66:005:014 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

66:006:001 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard,
as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts
saying, Come and see.

66:006:002 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him
had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth
conquering, and to conquer.

66:006:003 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

66:006:004 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

66:006:005 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast
say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he
that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

66:006:006 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A
measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for
a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

66:006:007 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

66:006:008 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

66:006:009 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar
the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for
the testimony which they held:

66:006:010 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on
them that dwell on the earth?

66:006:011 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

66:006:012 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there
was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth
of hair, and the moon became as blood;

66:006:013 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig
tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty
wind.

66:006:014 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
together; and every mountain and island were moved out of
their places.

66:006:015 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

66:006:016 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

66:006:017 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

66:007:001 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four
           corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
           that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea,
           nor on any tree.

66:007:002 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the
           seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the
           four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
           sea,

66:007:003 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,
till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
foreheads.

66:007:004 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there
were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the
tribes of the children of Israel.

66:007:005 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad
were sealed twelve thousand.

66:007:006 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

66:007:007 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

66:007:008 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

66:007:009 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

66:007:010 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

66:007:011 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the
elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on
their faces, and worshipped God,

66:007:012 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our
God for ever and ever. Amen.

66:007:013 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

66:007:014 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

66:007:015 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

66:007:016 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

66:007:017 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

66:008:001 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven about the space of half an hour.

66:008:002 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them
were given seven trumpets.

66:008:003 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

66:008:004 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

66:008:005 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

66:008:006 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

66:008:007 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

66:008:008 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain
burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of
the sea became blood;

66:008:009 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and
had life, died; and the third part of the ships were
destroyed.

66:008:010 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third
part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

66:008:011 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third
part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the
waters, because they were made bitter.

66:008:012 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

66:008:013 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

66:009:001 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven
unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless
pit.

66:009:002 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out
of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and
the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

66:009:003 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and
unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have
power.

66:009:004 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

66:009:005 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

66:009:006 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

66:009:007 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

66:009:008 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

66:009:009 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

66:009:010 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

66:009:011 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

66:009:012 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more
hereafter.

66:009:013 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four
horns of the golden altar which is before God,

66:009:014 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the
four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

66:009:015 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

66:009:016 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

66:009:017 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

66:009:018 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire,
and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of
their mouths.

66:009:019 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for
their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with
them they do hurt.

66:009:020 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

66:009:021 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

66:010:001 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

66:010:002 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his
right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

66:010:003 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when
he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

66:010:004 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

66:010:005 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

66:010:006 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

66:010:007 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

66:010:008 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again,
           and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the
           hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
           earth.

66:010:009 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the
           little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and
           it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth
           sweet as honey.

66:010:010 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

66:010:011 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

66:011:001 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel
stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
altar, and them that worship therein.

66:011:002 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and
measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the
holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

66:011:003 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed
in sackcloth.

66:011:004 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

66:011:005 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

66:011:006 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

66:011:007 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast
that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

66:011:008 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great
city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also
our Lord was crucified.

66:011:009 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations
shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall
not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

66:011:010 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them,
and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because
these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

66:011:011 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God
entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great
fear fell upon them which saw them.

66:011:012 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them,
Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and
their enemies beheld them.

66:011:013 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

66:011:014 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

66:011:015 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

66:011:016 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

66:011:017 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

66:011:018 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

66:011:019 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

66:012:001 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

66:012:002 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

66:012:003 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

66:012:004 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

66:012:005 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and
to his throne.

66:012:006 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place
prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand
two hundred and threescore days.

66:012:007 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

66:012:008 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
heaven.

66:012:009 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called
           the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
           cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with
           him.

66:012:010 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come
           salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the
           power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast
           down, which accused them before our God day and night.

66:012:011 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

66:012:012 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

66:012:013 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

66:012:014 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

66:012:015 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after
the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the
flood.

66:012:016 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her
mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of
his mouth.

66:012:017 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of
God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

66:013:001 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up
out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

66:013:002 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

66:013:003 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and
his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after
the beast.

66:013:004 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the
beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto
the beast? who is able to make war with him?

66:013:005 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty
and two months.

66:013:006 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

66:013:007 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations.

66:013:008 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose
names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world.

66:013:009 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

66:013:010 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

66:013:011 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

66:013:012 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

66:013:013 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

66:013:014 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

66:013:015 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

66:013:016 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

66:013:017 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

66:013:018 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his
number is Six hundred threescore and six.

66:014:001 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.

66:014:002 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:

66:014:003 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.

66:014:004 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.

66:014:005 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

66:014:006 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,

66:014:007 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.

66:014:008 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.

66:014:009 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,

66:014:010 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:

66:014:011 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.

66:014:012 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

66:014:013 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.

66:014:014 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.

66:014:015 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.

66:014:016 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the
earth; and the earth was reaped.

66:014:017 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven,
he also having a sharp sickle.

66:014:018 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.

66:014:019 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.

66:014:020 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.

66:015:001 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven
angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up
the wrath of God.

66:015:002 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and
           them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his
           image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name,
           stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

66:015:003 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the
           song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works,
           Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of
           saints.

66:015:004 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

66:015:005 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

66:015:006 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven
plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their
breasts girded with golden girdles.

66:015:007 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven
golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and
ever.

66:015:008 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

66:016:001 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

66:016:002 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

66:016:003 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

66:016:004 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

66:016:005 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

66:016:006 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou
hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

66:016:007 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God
Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

66:016:008 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and
power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

66:016:009 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name
of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented
not to give him glory.

66:016:010 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the
beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed
their tongues for pain,

66:016:011 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

66:016:012 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of
the kings of the east might be prepared.

66:016:013 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the
mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and
out of the mouth of the false prophet.

66:016:014 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go
forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

66:016:015 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
shame.

66:016:016 And he gathered them together into a place called in the
Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

66:016:017 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and
there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the
throne, saying, It is done.

66:016:018 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there
was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon
the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

66:016:019 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

66:016:020 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

66:016:021 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every
           stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God
           because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was
           exceeding great.

66:017:001 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven
           vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will
           shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth
           upon many waters:

66:017:002 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,
and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the
wine of her fornication.

66:017:003 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I
saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names
of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

66:017:004 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

66:017:005 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

66:017:006 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and
with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I
wondered with great admiration.

66:017:007 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I
will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

66:017:008 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

66:017:009 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

66:017:010 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

66:017:011 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

66:017:012 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

66:017:013 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

66:017:014 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and
they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

66:017:015 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and
tongues.

66:017:016 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these
shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked,
and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

66:017:017 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to
agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words
of God shall be fulfilled.

66:017:018 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

66:018:001 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

66:018:002 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the
           great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of
           devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
           unclean and hateful bird.

66:018:003 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
           fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed
           fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed
           rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

66:018:004 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

66:018:005 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

66:018:006 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her
double according to her works: in the cup which she hath
filled fill to her double.

66:018:007 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so
much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart,
I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

66:018:008 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and
mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with
fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

66:018:009 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and
lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for
her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

66:018:010 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas,
alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one
hour is thy judgment come.

66:018:011 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

66:018:012 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

66:018:013 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and
wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and
sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

66:018:014 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from
thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed
from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

66:018:015 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her,
shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and
wailing,

66:018:016 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in
fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
precious stones, and pearls!

66:018:017 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every
shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as
many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

66:018:018 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

66:018:019 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

66:018:020 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

66:018:021 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

66:018:022 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and
           trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no
           craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more
           in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more
           at all in thee;

66:018:023 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee;
           and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be
           heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great
           men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations
           deceived.

66:018:024 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

66:019:001 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

66:019:002 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

66:019:003 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

66:019:004 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down
and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;
Alleluia.

66:019:005 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God,
all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and
great.

66:019:006 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

66:019:007 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the
marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself
ready.

66:019:008 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine
linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the
righteousness of saints.

66:019:009 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called
unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me,
These are the true sayings of God.

66:019:010 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

66:019:011 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that
sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war.

66:019:012 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many
crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he
himself.

66:019:013 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his
name is called The Word of God.

66:019:014 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

66:019:015 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

66:019:016 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

66:019:017 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a
           loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of
           heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of
           the great God;

66:019:018 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains,
           and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of
           them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and
           bond, both small and great.

66:019:019 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

66:019:020 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

66:019:021 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

66:020:001 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of
the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

66:020:002 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the
Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

66:020:003 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

66:020:004 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

66:020:005 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

66:020:006 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

66:020:007 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

66:020:008 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together
to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

66:020:009 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed
the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire
came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

66:020:010 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of
fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

66:020:011 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was
found no place for them.

66:020:012 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

66:020:013 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

66:020:014 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is
the second death.

66:020:015 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.

66:021:001 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more
sea.

66:021:002 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband.

66:021:003 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
           tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
           and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
           them, and be their God.

66:021:004 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
           shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
           shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed
           away.

66:021:005 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all
things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are
true and faithful.

66:021:006 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of
the fountain of the water of life freely.

66:021:007 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his
God, and he shall be my son.

66:021:008 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
           murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and
           all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth
           with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

66:021:009 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the
           seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with
           me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the
           Lamb's wife.

66:021:010 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

66:021:011 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

66:021:012 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

66:021:013 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the
south three gates; and on the west three gates.

66:021:014 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them
the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

66:021:015 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the
city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

66:021:016 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

66:021:017 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

66:021:018 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

66:021:019 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished
           with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was
           jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the
           fourth, an emerald;

66:021:020 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
           chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth,
           a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an
           amethyst.

66:021:021 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

66:021:022 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

66:021:023 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to
shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb
is the light thereof.

66:021:024 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the
light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory
and honour into it.

66:021:025 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there
shall be no night there.

66:021:026 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into
it.

66:021:027 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

66:022:001 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

66:022:002 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

66:022:003 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of
the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

66:022:004 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
foreheads.

66:022:005 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle,
neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:
and they shall reign for ever and ever.

66:022:006 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and
the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto
his servants the things which must shortly be done.

66:022:007 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

66:022:008 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had
heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the
angel which shewed me these things.

66:022:009 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy
fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

66:022:010 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

66:022:011 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

66:022:012 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work shall be.

66:022:013 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and
the last.

66:022:014 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have
right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
into the city.

66:022:015 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and
murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a
lie.

66:022:016 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things
in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and
the bright and morning star.

66:022:017 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

66:022:018 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the
           prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,
           God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this
           book:

66:022:019 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of
           this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of
           life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are
           written in this book.

66:022:020 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

66:022:021 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
