Revelation 19 Cross References - WPNT

¹ After these things I heard as it were the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven saying, “Hallelujah! The salvation and power and glory of our God! ² Because His judgments are true and just, because He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of His slaves by her hand.” ³ And a second voice said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up for ever and ever!” ⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God, who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen, Hallelujah!” ⁵ And a voice came from the Throne saying, “”Praise our God, all you His slaves and those who fear Him, small and great!” ⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderings saying: “Hallelujah! Because the Lord our God reigns, the Almighty! ⁷ Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His wife has prepared herself.” ⁸ And it was granted to her to be dressed in fine linen, bright and pure, for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. ⁹ And he says to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb’.” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.” ¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he says to me, “Don’t! I am your fellow slave and among your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” ¹¹ I saw the heaven opened, and wow, a white horse! And the One who sits on it, called Faithful and True, both judges and makes war with righteousness. ¹² Now His eyes were a flame of fire and on His head were many diadems, having names written, besides a written name that no one knows except Himself; ¹³ and He was clothed with a robe that had been dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white, clean, followed Him on white horses. ¹⁵ And out of His mouth goes a sharp, two-edged sword, so that with it He may strike the nations. And He Himself will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He Himself treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God, the Almighty. ¹⁶ And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh, King of kings and Lord of lords! ¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, “Come, gather together to the great dinner of God, ¹⁸ so that you may eat flesh of kings and flesh of commanders and flesh of the mighty and flesh of horses along with their riders, even the flesh of all, both free and slave, both small and great.” ¹⁹ And I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the One riding the horse and against His army. ²⁰ So the Beast was captured, and with him the False prophet, the one who performed signs in his presence (by which he had deceived those who had received the mark of the Beast and those who worshipped his image). The two were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire that burns with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were killed by the sword that proceeds from the mouth of the One riding the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

¹³ And do not bring us into testing, but rescue us from the evil one; because Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’

¹⁶ precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life. ¹⁷ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying: ¹¹ “You are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created!”

⁹ And they sing a new song saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals; because You were slaughtered, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and language and people and ethnic nation; ¹⁰ and You have made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.” ¹¹ And I looked, and I heard as it were the voice of many angels, around the throne and the living beings and the elders. And their number was ten thousand times ten thousand and a thousand thousands, ¹² saying with a great voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive the power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” ¹³ And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and those upon the sea, and everything in them—I heard them all saying: “To Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb: the blessing and the honor and the glory and the power for ever and ever! Amen!!”

¹⁰ And they shouted with a loud voice saying, “Saved by our God who sits on the throne, and by the Lamb!” ¹¹ And all the angels stood around the Throne, and the elders and the four living beings, and they fell down before the Throne, on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² saying: “Amen! The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength to our God for ever and ever! Amen.”

¹⁵ So the seventh angel trumpeted, and there were loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.”

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in the heaven saying: “Now the salvation and the power have come, even the Kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accused them before our God day and night.

¹ After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. ² And he cried out with a strong voice saying: “It fell, it fell, Babylon the great! and has become a dwelling place of demons, even a prison of every unclean spirit, also a prison of every unclean and detestable bird. ³ Because all the nations have drunk of the rage of the wine of her fornication and the kings of the earth have fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich through the strength of her luxury.” ⁴ And I heard another Voice from heaven saying: “Come out of her, my people, so as not to participate in her sins and so as not to receive of her plagues. ⁵ For her sins have reached to heaven and God has remembered about her her iniquities. ⁶ Render to her just as she rendered to you; yes, pay her back double, according to her deeds; in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her. ⁷ To the extent that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, by so much give her torment and sorrow; because in her heart she says, ‘I sit a queen, and am not a widow; and I will certainly not see sorrow.’ ⁸ Therefore her plagues will come in one day —death and sorrow and famine—and she will be burned up with fire; because the Lord God who has judged her is strong . ⁹ “The kings of the earth who fornicated and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her, when they see the smoke of her burning, ¹⁰ standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, O great city Babylon, O mighty city! Because your judgment came in one hour .’ ¹¹ “And the merchants of the earth weep and sorrow over her because no one buys their goods anymore: ¹² goods of gold and of silver, of precious stones and of pearl, of fine linen and of purple, of silk and of scarlet; every citron wood and object of ivory, every object of most precious wood and of bronze and of iron and of marble; ¹³ cinnamon and incense and perfume and frankincense, wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep and horses and carriages, and bodies and souls of men! ¹⁴ (‘Yes, the fruit that your soul craved has gone from you, and all the sumptuous and splendid things have perished from you, and you will never find them again!’) ¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand afar off for fear of her torment, weeping and sorrowing ¹⁶ and saying, ‘Alas, alas, O great city! that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls; ¹⁷ because in one hour such great wealth was laid waste.’ “And every ship captain, and all who travel by ship—sailors and as many as work the sea—stood afar off ¹⁸ and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘Who is like the great city!?’ ¹⁹ They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and sorrowing and saying, ‘Alas, alas, O great city! by which all who had ships in the sea became rich, by her costly abundance; because in one hour she was laid waste.’ ²⁰ “Rejoice over her, O heaven, yes you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her!” ²¹ And a mighty angel took up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the ocean saying: “The great city Babylon will be thrown down violently, just like that, and will never be found again. ²² ‘The sound of harpists and musicians and flutists and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; no craftsman of whatever craft will ever be found in you again; the sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again; ²³ the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; the voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again; because your merchants were the magnates of the earth, because by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.’ ²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, even of all who had been butchered on the earth.”

³ And a second voice said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up for ever and ever!” ⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God, who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen, Hallelujah!”

⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderings saying: “Hallelujah! Because the Lord our God reigns, the Almighty!

¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice saying, “How long, O Sovereign, Holy and True, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

³ They sing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “How just You are! The One who is and who was, the holy One, because You have judged these things. ⁶ Because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They deserve it!” ⁷ And I heard one from the altar saying, “Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty! Your judgings are true and just!”

¹ One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore who sits on the many waters, ² with whom the kings of the earth fornicated; and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

¹⁵ Then he says to me: “The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. ¹⁶ And the ten horns that you saw, also the beast, these will hate the whore and will lay her waste and strip her and eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

³ Because all the nations have drunk of the rage of the wine of her fornication and the kings of the earth have fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich through the strength of her luxury.”

⁹ “The kings of the earth who fornicated and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her, when they see the smoke of her burning, ¹⁰ standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, O great city Babylon, O mighty city! Because your judgment came in one hour .’

²⁰ “Rejoice over her, O heaven, yes you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her!”

⁷ So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns—who gave themselves up to fornication and went after a different kind of flesh in a manner similar to those angels—stand as an example, undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

¹¹ So the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, those who worship the Beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

⁹ “The kings of the earth who fornicated and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

¹⁸ and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘Who is like the great city!?’

¹ After these things I heard as it were the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven saying, “Hallelujah! The salvation and power and glory of our God!

²⁰ teaching them to obey everything that I commanded you; and take note, I am with you every day, until the end of the age!” Amen.

¹⁶ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the outsider say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he doesn’t know what you are saying?

⁴ And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw the twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes and golden crowns on their heads. ⁵ And out of the throne came lightnings and voices and thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before His throne, which are seven spirits of God; ⁶ and before the throne it was like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living beings full of eyes, front and back. ⁷ The first living being was similar to a lion, the second living being was similar to a calf, the third living being had a face like a man, and the fourth living being was similar to a flying eagle. ⁸ And the four living beings, each one of them, having six wings apiece, were full of eyes around and within. And they take no rest, day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; The Lord God Almighty; He who was and who is and who is coming.” ⁹ And whenever the living beings ascribe glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying:

⁸ And when He took the scroll the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having harps and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they sing a new song saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals; because You were slaughtered, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and language and people and ethnic nation; ¹⁰ and You have made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.” ¹¹ And I looked, and I heard as it were the voice of many angels, around the throne and the living beings and the elders. And their number was ten thousand times ten thousand and a thousand thousands,

¹⁴ and the four living beings saying the “Amen”. And the elders fell and did obeisance.

¹⁵ So the seventh angel trumpeted, and there were loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.” ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones in God’s presence, fell on their faces and worshipped God

⁷ Then one of the four living beings gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the fury of God, the One who lives forever and ever.

¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His sanctuary. And He who sits on the throne will shelter them.

¹⁸ The nations were angry and your wrath came, even the time for the dead to be judged and to give the reward to Your slaves the prophets, and to the saints and those who fear your name, small and great, and to destroy those who have corrupted the earth.” ¹⁹ And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings and huge hail.

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a great voice came out of the sanctuary of heaven, from the Throne, saying, “It is done!”

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and books were opened. And another Book was opened, namely, of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things that were written in the books.

¹⁵ and His feet were like fine brass, as when refined in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters;

⁵ And out of the throne came lightnings and voices and thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before His throne, which are seven spirits of God;

¹ And I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings saying, like a voice of thunder, “Come!”

⁵ Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it at the earth. And there were voices and thunders and lightnings and an earthquake.

¹⁵ So the seventh angel trumpeted, and there were loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.” ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones in God’s presence, fell on their faces and worshipped God ¹⁷ saying: “We thank You, O Lord God Almighty, He who is and who was and who is coming, because You have taken up your great power and begun to reign. ¹⁸ The nations were angry and your wrath came, even the time for the dead to be judged and to give the reward to Your slaves the prophets, and to the saints and those who fear your name, small and great, and to destroy those who have corrupted the earth.”

² And I heard a sound from the sky, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of loud thunder; and the sound that I heard was like harpists playing on their harps.

²² I saw no sanctuary in her, because the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are her sanctuary.

² “The kingdom of the heavens is like a certain king who prepared a wedding feast for his son.

¹ “Then the kingdom of the heavens will be like ten virgins who, taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom. ² Now five of them were prudent and five foolish. ³ Those who were foolish, taking their lamps, did not take oil with them, ⁴ but the prudent ones took oil in their vessels along with their lamps. ⁵ Now while the bridegroom delayed they all dozed and slept, ⁶ but at midnight there was a shout: ‘Attention! The bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him.’ ⁷ Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. ⁸ And the foolish ones said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out’. ⁹ But the prudent ones answered saying, ‘No, in case there not be enough for you and us; instead, go to those who sell and buy for yourselves’. ¹⁰ But while they went to buy, the bridegroom arrived, and the ones who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast—and the door was shut!

³⁶ and you yourselves like men waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding celebration, so that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.

²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom’s voice. So this my joy has been fulfilled.

² For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, because I betrothed you to one man to present you to Christ as a pure virgin.

²³ because a man is head of his wife as also Christ is Head of the Church—He also is Preserver of the body.

³² This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church.

³ For it is we who are the circumcision, the ones who worship by God’s Spirit and glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in flesh

⁹ And he says to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb’.” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.”

² And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

⁹ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the woman, the Lamb’s bride.”

² And He was transfigured before them and his face shone like the sun, while His clothes became as white as the light.

¹² So he says to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.

³ His clothing became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.

⁴ And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that wow, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

¹⁰ And as they were staring into the sky, while He was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood beside them;

²² namely, a righteousness from God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and upon all those who believe. There is no difference:

¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, with a view to lusts.

²⁶ in order that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of the water: in a word, ²⁷ that He might present her—the splendid Church—to Himself, not having a blemish or a wrinkle or any such thing, but that she be holy and blameless.

⁴ ‘But you do have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy. ⁵ The one who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not erase his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before His angels.

¹⁸ I counsel you to buy gold from me, refined by fire, so that you may become rich; and white garments, so that you may be clothed, and your nakedness not be shamefully exposed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see.

¹³ And one of the elders reacted, saying to me, “Who are these that are clothed in the white robes, and where did they come from?” ¹⁴ So I said to him, “My lord, you know.” So he said to me: “These are those who come out of the Great Tribulation—they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁴ Who could not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? Because You alone are holy, because all the nations will come and do obeisance before You, because Your righteous judgments have been manifested.”

² “The kingdom of the heavens is like a certain king who prepared a wedding feast for his son. ³ And he sent out his servants to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, but they did not want to come. ⁴ Again he sent out other servants saying: ‘Say to those who have been invited: “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast”!’

¹⁵ Well when one of the fellow-recliners heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the Kingdom of God!” ¹⁶ So He said to him: “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many.

¹⁵ Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am chief;

⁹ Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance

¹¹ This is a trustworthy word: If, indeed, we died together, we will also live together;

⁸ The above is a trustworthy statement and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be concerned to take the lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for mankind.

¹⁹ Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are going to occur after these.

¹ “To the messenger of the church in Ephesus write: These things says He who holds the seven stars on His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

⁸ “And to the messenger of the church in Smyrna write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and came to life:

¹² “And to the messenger of the church in Pergamos write: These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword:

¹⁸ “And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, He who has the eyes like a flame of fire and the feet like fine brass:

¹ “And to the messenger of the church in Sardis write: These things says He who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: ‘I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, yet you are dead.

⁷ “And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy, the True, He who has the key of David, who opens and no one can shut it, except He who opens, and no one can open:

¹⁴ “And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the Originator of God’s creation:

²⁰ ‘Now then, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear my voice and open the door I really will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

⁴ Now when the seven thunders spoke I was about to write, but I heard a voice out of heaven saying, “Seal up the things that the seven thunders said,” and “You write after these things.”

¹³ I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “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, and their works follow along with them’.”

⁷ Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His wife has prepared herself.” ⁸ And it was granted to her to be dressed in fine linen, bright and pure, for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he says to me, “Don’t! I am your fellow slave and among your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” ¹¹ I saw the heaven opened, and wow, a white horse! And the One who sits on it, called Faithful and True, both judges and makes war with righteousness.

⁵ Then He who sat on the throne said, “Take note, I make everything new!” And He says to me, “Write, because these words are true and faithful!”

⁶ Then he says to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent His angel to show to His slaves the things that must shortly take place.

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him: “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only shall you serve’.”

²² And then, one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, comes, and upon finding Him he falls at His feet

²⁵ In fact, as soon as she heard about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit came and fell at His feet.

¹⁹ So in answer the angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; I was sent to speak to you and bring you this good news.

²⁵ Then He said to them: “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the Prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Was it really not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?” ²⁷ And beginning from Moses, and then all the Prophets, He explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

⁴⁴ Then He said to them, “These are the words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything that is written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

²² You [Samaritans] worship what you do not know; we [Jews] worship what we do know, because the salvation is from the Jews. ²³ But the time is coming, in fact now is, when the genuine worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Really, because the Father is looking for such people to worship Him. ²⁴ God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

³⁹ You examine the Scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life, yet they are the very ones that testify about me.

¹² So upon observing this Peter responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why are you marveling at this, or why are you staring at us as if we have made him walk by our own power or godliness? ¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up; and you repudiated Him to Pilate’s face, when he was intending to release Him. ¹⁴ Yes you repudiated the holy and righteous One, and you asked that a murderer be granted to you, ¹⁵ while you killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from among the dead, to which we are witnesses. ¹⁶ Well His name, based on faith in His name, made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith that is through Him has given him this wholeness in the presence of you all. ¹⁷ “So now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, as also your rulers. ¹⁸ But the things that God foretold through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Messiah would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

²⁵ So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshipped. ²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

⁴³ To Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes into Him will receive forgiveness of sins.”

²⁷ The Jerusalem dwellers and their rulers, understanding neither Him nor the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him.

¹¹ Now when the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” ¹² And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. ¹³ Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, intending to make a sacrifice, along with the crowd. ¹⁴ But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, crying out ¹⁵ and saying: “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, giving you good news, telling you to turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them;

²¹ But now, apart from law, a righteousness from God has been revealed, being attested by the Law and the Prophets, ²² namely, a righteousness from God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and upon all those who believe. There is no difference:

⁷ that as you excel in everything—in faith, in word, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—that you excel in this grace too.

¹⁵ See then that you walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,

³³ In any case, each of you individually: let each one love his own wife as himself, while the wife must respect her husband.

¹⁵ See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue the good, both for one another and for all.

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits being sent to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?

²⁵ See to it that you not refuse Him who speaks. Because if they did not escape who refused Him who gave divine warning on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from Him who warns from Heaven!

¹⁰ Concerning this salvation the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and inquired diligently, ¹¹ investigating into whom, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating as He testified beforehand the sufferings that would be inflicted on Christ and the glories that would follow them. ¹² It was revealed to them that they were not ministering these things to themselves, but to you; which things have now been announced to you by those who proclaimed the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things that angels really desire to look into.

¹⁹ And so we have the most reliable prophetic Word, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; ²⁰ knowing this first, that no Prophecy of Scripture comes to be from private release; ²¹ for no Prophecy ever came by the will of man, rather holy men of God spoke as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁰ He who believes into the Son of God has the witness within himself; he who doesn’t believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son.

²¹ Dear children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.

⁹ I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying:

¹¹ And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not cherish their lives, even up to death.

¹⁷ So the dragon was furious about the woman and off he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony of Jesus.

⁷ saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judging has come, and do obeisance to Him who made heaven and earth, the ocean and springs of water.”

⁸ Now I, John, who heard and saw these things, when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things, ⁹ but he says to me, “Don’t! I am your fellow slave and of your brothers the prophets, those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

⁶ Jesus says to him: “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through me.

¹ Now this Melchizedek—king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, ² to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all (first, his name means ‘king of righteousness’, and then again ‘king of Salem’, which means ‘king of peace’),

⁵ and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins with His own blood

¹ After these things I looked and wow —a door standing open in the sky, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here and I will show you the things that must take place after these.”

² And I looked and, wow, a white horse! And he who sat on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, that is, in order to conquer.

¹⁹ And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings and huge hail.

³ They sing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! ⁴ Who could not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? Because You alone are holy, because all the nations will come and do obeisance before You, because Your righteous judgments have been manifested.” ⁵ After these things I looked, and the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. ⁶ And out from the sanctuary came the seven angels, the ones having the seven plagues; they were clothed in pure bright linen and were girded around the chests with golden belts. ⁷ Then one of the four living beings gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the fury of God, the One who lives forever and ever.

²⁷ “All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one really knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone really know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son may will to reveal Him .

⁵ “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your King is coming to you, humble and mounted on a donkey, in fact, a young donkey, foal of a beast of burden.’”

¹⁸ And approaching Jesus asserted to them saying: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

²² And turning to the disciples He said: “All things have been entrusted to me by my Father; also, no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and to whomever the Son may choose to reveal Him.”

⁹ But we do see Jesus, who ‘was made lower than the angels, for a little while’ (in order to suffer death), ‘crowned with glory and honor’—this, by the grace of God, so that He\up6 [S]\up0 might taste death on behalf of everyone.

¹⁴ Now His head, that is His hair, was white, like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;

¹⁷ ‘He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who overcomes I will grant to eat from the hidden manna. And I will give him a white pebble, and on the pebble a new name written, which no one knows except the receiver.’ ¹⁸ “And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, He who has the eyes like a flame of fire and the feet like fine brass:

¹² The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never again go out. And I will write on him the name of my God, the name of my God’s city—the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God—and my new name.

³ And another sign appeared in the sky: wow, a dragon, huge, fiery red, having seven heads and ten horns, with seven diadems on his heads.

¹ Now I was standing on the seashore, and I saw a Beast of prey coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten diadems and on his heads blasphemous names.

¹⁶ And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh, King of kings and Lord of lords!

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God .

¹⁴ So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have witnessed with our eyes, that which we contemplated and our hands handled with reference to the word of the Life

⁷ actually there are three who bear witness

²⁰ And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress up to the horses’ bridles, for a thousand six hundred stadia.

⁵³ Do you actually suppose that I cannot call upon my Father right now and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of angels?

³ And his appearance was like lightning and his clothing as white as snow.

⁷ and rest (along with us) to you who are being afflicted, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels in blazing fire,

¹⁴ Now even Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men saying: “Look, the Lord is coming with ten thousands of His holy ones

⁴ ‘But you do have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

⁴ And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw the twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes and golden crowns on their heads.

⁹ After these things I looked, and wow, a great multitude that no one could number, from all ethnic nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the Throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes and palm branches in their hands.

¹ And wow, I saw a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads.

¹⁴ They will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”

⁸ And it was granted to her to be dressed in fine linen, bright and pure, for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

¹¹ I saw the heaven opened, and wow, a white horse! And the One who sits on it, called Faithful and True, both judges and makes war with righteousness.

⁸ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and abolish by the splendor of His coming;

¹⁶ and He had seven stars on His right hand and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of His mouth; and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

¹⁶ Repent! Or else I will come at you swiftly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

²⁷ and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron; they will be smashed like clay pots

⁵ And she bore a Son, a male, who would shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was snatched up to God, even to His throne.

¹⁷ Then another angel came out of the temple (the one in heaven), he too having a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came out from the altar (having authority over the fire) and he called out with a loud cry to the one having the sharp sickle saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the grape clusters of the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.” ¹⁹ So the angel swung his sickle at the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of God’s fury. ²⁰ And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress up to the horses’ bridles, for a thousand six hundred stadia.

²¹ And the rest were killed by the sword that proceeds from the mouth of the One riding the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

⁹ Indeed, that is why God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, ¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow—of those in heaven, those on earth and those under the earth— ¹¹ and every tongue will acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father.

¹⁵ which He will manifest at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and the Lord of lords;

¹⁷ ‘He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who overcomes I will grant to eat from the hidden manna. And I will give him a white pebble, and on the pebble a new name written, which no one knows except the receiver.’

¹² Now His eyes were a flame of fire and on His head were many diadems, having names written, besides a written name that no one knows except Himself; ¹³ and He was clothed with a robe that had been dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

¹³ And I saw and heard an eagle flying in midheaven saying with a loud voice, three times; “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth because of the remaining trumpet blasts of the three angels who are about to trumpet!”

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an everlasting gospel to be proclaimed to those who reside on the earth—to every ethnic nation and tribe and language and people—

²⁸ for wherever the carcass may be there will be a gathering of vultures.

³⁷ They reacted by saying to Him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where there is a carcass, there will the vultures also be gathered.”

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth and the magnates and the generals and the rich and the mighty, and every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

¹⁶ And he causes everyone—both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave—to receive marks on their right hand or on their foreheads,

⁷ When they finish their witness, the Beast of prey that comes up out of the Abyss will make war with them, overcome them and kill them

¹ Now I was standing on the seashore, and I saw a Beast of prey coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten diadems and on his heads blasphemous names. ² The beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. ³ And one of his heads was as if it had been mortally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the Beast. ⁴ And they did obeisance to the dragon who had given the authority to the Beast, and they did obeisance to the Beast saying, “Who is like the Beast, and who is able to make war with him?” ⁵ And he was given a mouth speaking great things, that is, blasphemy; and he was given authority to make war forty-two months. ⁶ So he opened that mouth of his in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, those who dwell in Heaven. ⁷ And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given him over every tribe and language and ethnic nation. ⁸ All who dwell on the earth will do obeisance to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slaughtered from the foundation of the world. ⁹ If anyone has an ear, let him hear. ¹⁰ If anyone has captivity, he goes away. If anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

⁹ And another angel, a third, 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,

¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

¹⁶ So he gathered them to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

¹² And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the Beast for one hour. ¹³ These are of one mind and give their power and authority to the Beast. ¹⁴ They will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”

¹¹ I saw the heaven opened, and wow, a white horse! And the One who sits on it, called Faithful and True, both judges and makes war with righteousness. ¹² Now His eyes were a flame of fire and on His head were many diadems, having names written, besides a written name that no one knows except Himself; ¹³ and He was clothed with a robe that had been dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white, clean, followed Him on white horses.

⁸ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and abolish by the splendor of His coming; ⁹ that one’s coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and with all wicked deception among those who are wasting themselves, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved. ¹¹ Yes, because of this God will send them an active delusion so that they will believe the lie

¹ Now I was standing on the seashore, and I saw a Beast of prey coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten diadems and on his heads blasphemous names. ² The beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. ³ And one of his heads was as if it had been mortally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the Beast. ⁴ And they did obeisance to the dragon who had given the authority to the Beast, and they did obeisance to the Beast saying, “Who is like the Beast, and who is able to make war with him?” ⁵ And he was given a mouth speaking great things, that is, blasphemy; and he was given authority to make war forty-two months. ⁶ So he opened that mouth of his in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, those who dwell in Heaven. ⁷ And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given him over every tribe and language and ethnic nation. ⁸ All who dwell on the earth will do obeisance to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slaughtered from the foundation of the world.

¹¹ Now I saw another beast of prey coming up out of the land, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. ¹² And he exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence; and he started to cause the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed. ¹³ And he performs great signs, including that fire should come down from heaven upon the earth before the people. ¹⁴ And he deceives my own people, those dwelling on the earth, by the signs that it was given to him to perform before the Beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who had the sword wound and lived. ¹⁵ And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast should actually speak, and should cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast to be killed. ¹⁶ And he causes everyone—both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave—to receive marks on their right hand or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ so that no one would be able to buy or sell who does not have the mark, the name of the Beast or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here is wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the Beast, for it is the number of man—his number is 666.

¹⁰ really, he will drink of the wine of the fury of God, mixed at full strength in the cup of His wrath. In fact, he will be tormented with fire and sulfur before the holy angels and before the Lamb.”

¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

³ So he took me away in spirit to a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. ⁵ And on her forehead a name was written: “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the prostitutes and the abominations of the earth.” ⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, even with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And upon seeing her I was tremendously impressed. ⁷ So the angel said to me: “Why are you impressed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast, having the seven heads and the ten horns, that carries her. ⁸ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the Abyss and to go into perdition. And those who dwell upon the earth will be amazed, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not and will be present.

¹² And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the Beast for one hour.

¹⁹ And I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the One riding the horse and against His army.

¹⁰ And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the Lake of Fire and brimstone, where the Beast and the False prophet also are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

¹⁴ And Death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death, the Lake of Fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone was not found written in the Book of Life he was thrown into the Lake of Fire.

⁸ But as for the cowardly and unbelieving and sinners and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters, and all who are false, their portion is in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

¹⁵ Outside are the ‘dogs’ and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie.)

¹⁶ And the ten horns that you saw, also the beast, these will hate the whore and will lay her waste and strip her and eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

¹¹ I saw the heaven opened, and wow, a white horse! And the One who sits on it, called Faithful and True, both judges and makes war with righteousness. ¹² Now His eyes were a flame of fire and on His head were many diadems, having names written, besides a written name that no one knows except Himself; ¹³ and He was clothed with a robe that had been dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white, clean, followed Him on white horses. ¹⁵ And out of His mouth goes a sharp, two-edged sword, so that with it He may strike the nations. And He Himself will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He Himself treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, “Come, gather together to the great dinner of God, ¹⁸ so that you may eat flesh of kings and flesh of commanders and flesh of the mighty and flesh of horses along with their riders, even the flesh of all, both free and slave, both small and great.” ¹⁹ And I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the One riding the horse and against His army.
