Revelation 12 Cross References - YLT

¹ And a great sign was seen in the heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars, ² and being with child she doth cry out, travailing and pained to bring forth. ³ And there was seen another sign in the heaven, and, lo, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems, ⁴ and his tail doth draw the third of the stars of the heaven, and he did cast them to the earth; and the dragon did stand before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, her child he may devour; ⁵ and she brought forth a male child, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and caught away was her child unto God and His throne, ⁶ and the woman did flee to the wilderness, where she hath a place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her—days a thousand, two hundred, sixty. ⁷ And there came war in the heaven; Michael and his messengers did war against the dragon, and the dragon did war, and his messengers, ⁸ and they did not prevail, nor was their place found any more in the heaven; ⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in the heaven, `Now did come the salvation, and the power, and the reign, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because cast down was the accuser of our brethren, who is accusing them before our God day and night; ¹¹ and they did overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life—unto death;
¹² because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who do tabernacle; woe to those inhabiting the land and the sea, because the Devil did go down unto you, having great wrath, having known that he hath little time.' ¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who did bring forth the male, ¹⁴ and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly to the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent; ¹⁵ and the serpent did cast forth after the woman, out of his mouth, water as a river, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river, ¹⁶ and the land did help the woman, and the land did open its mouth and did swallow up the river, that the dragon did cast forth out of his mouth; ¹⁷ and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ.

⁴⁴ `Ye are of a father—the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar—also his father.

⁴ and he himself hath gone into the wilderness a day's Journey, and cometh and sitteth under a certain retem-tree, and desireth his soul to die, and saith, `Enough, now, O Jehovah, take my soul, for I am not better than my fathers.' <sup>5</sup> And he lieth down and sleepeth under a certain retem-tree, and lo, a messenger cometh against him, and saith to him, `Rise, eat;' ⁶ and he looketh attentively, and lo, at his bolster a cake baken on burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eateth, and drinketh, and turneth, and lieth down. ⁷ And the messenger of Jehovah turneth back a second time, and cometh against him, and saith, `Rise, eat, for the way is too great for thee;' ⁸ and he riseth, and eateth, and drinketh, and goeth in the power of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God—Horeb.

¹¹ And I saw the heaven having been opened, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness doth he judge and war, ¹² and his eyes are as a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems—having a name written that no one hath known, except himself, ¹³ and he is arrayed with a garment covered with blood, and his name is called, The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies in the heaven were following him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen—white and pure; ¹⁵ and out of his mouth doth proceed a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he doth tread the press of the wine of the wrath and the anger of God the Almighty, ¹⁶ and he hath upon the garment and upon his thigh the name written, `King of kings, and Lord of lords.' <sup>17</sup> And I saw one messenger standing in the sun, and he cried, a great voice, saying to all the birds that are flying in mid-heaven, `Come and be gathered together to the supper of the great God, ¹⁸ that ye may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiefs of thousands, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses, and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all—freemen and servants—both small and great.' ¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, having been gathered together to make war with him who is sitting upon the horse, and with his army; ²⁰ and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who did receive the mark of the beast, and those who did bow before his image; living they were cast—the two—to the lake of the fire, that is burning with brimstone;

¹⁰ He turneth not again to his house, Nor doth his place discern him again.

¹⁸ If one doth destroy him from his place, Then it hath feigned concerning him, I have not seen thee!

⁹ The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him.

²¹ Take him up doth an east wind, and he goeth, And it frighteneth him from his place, ²² And it casteth at him, and doth not spare, From its hand he diligently fleeth. ²³ It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from his place.

⁴ Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

¹⁰ And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

¹⁰ All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. ¹¹ They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. ¹² They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. ¹³ Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.

² Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

¹⁹ and they have fought against thee, and they prevail not against thee; for with thee am I, —an affirmation of Jehovah—to deliver thee.

²² Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.

¹⁸ `And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it;

²⁵ to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;'

³¹ What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God is for us, who is against us? ³² He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us? ³³ Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God is He that is declaring righteous, ³⁴ who is he that is condemning? Christ is He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God—who also doth intercede for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ (according as it hath been written—`For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,') ³⁷ but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us; ³⁸ for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, ³⁹ nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁶ messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but did leave their proper dwelling, to a judgment of a great day, in bonds everlasting, under darkness He hath kept,

¹¹ and they did overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life—unto death;

¹ And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, `Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'

⁴ And the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die, ⁵ for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'

¹³ And Jehovah God saith to the woman, `What is this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, `The serpent hath caused me to forget—and I do eat.'

¹ And there standeth up an adversary against Israel, and persuadeth David to number Israel,

⁶ And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst. ⁷ And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Whence comest thou?' And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down on it.' ⁸ And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Hast thou set thy heart against My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God, and turning aside from evil?' <sup>9</sup> And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `For nought is Job fearing God? ¹⁰ Hast not Thou made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he hath—round about? ¹¹ The work of his hands Thou hast blessed, and his substance hath spread in the land, and yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike against anything that he hath—if not: to Thy face he doth bless Thee!' ¹² And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Lo, all that he hath is in thy hand, only unto him put not forth thy hand.' And the Adversary goeth out from the presence of Jehovah.

¹ And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst to station himself by Jehovah. ² And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Whence camest thou?' And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.'

⁶ Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.

¹² How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.

²⁵ Wolf and lamb do feed as one, And a lion as an ox eateth straw, As to the serpent—dust is its food, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain, said Jehovah!

¹⁶ By the abundance of thy merchandise They have filled thy midst with violence, And thou dost sin, And I thrust thee from the mount of God, And I destroy thee, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.

¹ And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of Jehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him. ² And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: `Jehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from fire?'

¹ Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

⁵ Then doth the Devil take him to the holy city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁸ Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to him, `Go—Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

³⁹ and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is a full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers.

²⁴ for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

¹² and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.

¹⁸ and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;

¹⁶ and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

³ And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,

³¹ And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,

³¹ now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;

³⁰ I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.

³ And Peter said, `Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place?

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

¹⁸ for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!

¹¹ that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.

⁴ in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

³ and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the Christ;

¹⁴ and no wonder—for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;

¹⁴ that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray,

³ let not any one deceive you in any manner, because—if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed—the son of the destruction,

⁹ him, whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved, ¹¹ and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

¹⁴ and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

⁶ not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil; ⁷ and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

¹³ and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.

¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the devil—

⁸ he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil; ⁹ every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten. ¹⁰ In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,

¹⁹ we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;

⁹ I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty—yet thou art rich—and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of the Adversary.

¹³ I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell—where the throne of the Adversary is —and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.

²⁴ `And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, and who did not know the depths of the Adversary, as they say; I will not put upon you other burden;

⁹ lo, I make of the synagogue of the Adversary those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but do lie; lo, I will make them that they may come and bow before thy feet, and may know that I loved thee.

¹ And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss,

²⁰ and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk,

⁷ And there came war in the heaven; Michael and his messengers did war against the dragon, and the dragon did war, and his messengers,

¹⁴ and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly to the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent; ¹⁵ and the serpent did cast forth after the woman, out of his mouth, water as a river, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river,

¹⁴ and it leadeth astray those dwelling on the land, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling upon the land to make an image to the beast that hath the stroke of the sword and did live,

¹⁴ for they are spirits of demons, doing signs—which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty; —

² and he did cry in might—a great voice, saying, `Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,

²³ and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,

²⁰ and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who did receive the mark of the beast, and those who did bow before his image; living they were cast—the two—to the lake of the fire, that is burning with brimstone;

² and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years, ³ and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time.

⁸ and he shall go forth to lead the nations astray, that are in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them together to war, of whom the number is as the sand of the sea;

¹⁰ and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night—to the ages of the ages.

¹¹ To Thee, O Jehovah, is the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, is the kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head;

⁹ And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `For nought is Job fearing God?

¹¹ The work of his hands Thou hast blessed, and his substance hath spread in the land, and yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike against anything that he hath—if not: to Thy face he doth bless Thee!'

⁵ Yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike unto his bone and unto his flesh—if not: unto Thy face he doth bless Thee!'

⁸ Ask of Me and I give nations—thy inheritance, And thy possession—the ends of earth. ⁹ Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
¹⁰ And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth, ¹¹ Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling. ¹² Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!

²⁸ For to Jehovah is the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.

⁶ Thy throne, O God, is age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness Is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.

⁵ The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger. ⁶ He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.

¹¹ The honour of Thy kingdom they tell, And of Thy might they speak, ¹² To make known to sons of men His mighty acts, The honour of the majesty of His kingdom. ¹³ Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, And Thy dominion is in all generations.

⁴⁴ `And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed—to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age.

¹⁰ `Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth.

⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.'

¹⁸ And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

² And he said to them, `When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—ye being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

³ aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved, of good things teachers,

²⁶ and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,

¹⁰ and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation is to Him who is sitting upon the throne—to our God, and to the Lamb!'

¹⁵ And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, `The kingdoms of the world did become those of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!'

¹ And after these things I heard a great voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, `Alleluia! the salvation, and the glory, and the honour, and the power, is to the Lord our God; <sup>2</sup> because true and righteous are His judgments, because He did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her whoredom, and He did avenge the blood of His servants at her hand;' <sup>3</sup> and a second time they said, `Alleluia;' and her smoke doth come up—to the ages of the ages! ⁴ And fall down did the elders—the twenty and four—and the four living creatures, and they did bow before God who is sitting upon the throne, saying, `Amen, Alleluia.'
<sup>5</sup> And a voice out of the throne did come forth, saying, `Praise our God, all ye His servants, and those fearing Him, both the small and the great;' ⁶ and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, `Alleluia! because reign did the Lord God—the Almighty! ⁷ may we rejoice and exult, and give the glory to Him, because come did the marriage of the Lamb, and his wife did make herself ready;

²⁶ `If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.'

²⁴ but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

¹³ and Paul answered, `What do ye—weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, for the name of the Lord Jesus;'

⁵⁷ and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

³ for walking in the flesh, not according to the flesh do we war, ⁴ for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds, ⁵ reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

¹³ because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done—to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness, ¹⁵ and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace; ¹⁶ above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench, ¹⁷ and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God, ¹⁸ through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

⁷ the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept, ⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord—the Righteous Judge—shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.

¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the devil— ¹⁵ and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,

³⁵ Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive, ³⁶ and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment; ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins—being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and in mountains, and in caves, and in the holes of the earth;

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who is from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father: ¹⁴ I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who is from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.

⁴ Ye—of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.

⁵ who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

² who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see.

⁹ I, John, who also am your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;

⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming—I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life. ¹¹ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.

¹⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it .

⁵ He who is overcoming—this one—shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.

¹² He who is overcoming—I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and without he may not go any more, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, that doth come down out of the heaven from my God—also my new name.

²¹ He who is overcoming—I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony that they held,

¹⁰ and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation is to Him who is sitting upon the throne—to our God, and to the Lamb!' <sup>11</sup> And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before God, <sup>12</sup> saying, `Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, are to our God—to the ages of the ages! Amen!'
¹³ And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, `These, who have been arrayed with the white robes—who are they, and whence came they?' <sup>14</sup> and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;

⁷ `And when they may finish their testimony, the beast that is coming up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them,

¹⁷ and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹ And I saw, and lo, a Lamb having stood upon the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousands, having the name of his Father written upon their foreheads; ² and I heard a voice out of the heaven, as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder, and a voice I heard of harpers harping with their harps, ³ and they sing, as it were, a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders, and no one was able to learn the song except the hundred forty-four thousands, who have been bought from the earth; ⁴ these are they who with women were not defiled, for they are virgin; these are they who are following the Lamb whithersoever he may go; these were bought from among men—a first-fruit to God and to the Lamb—

² and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who do gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his mark, and the number of his name, standing by the sea of the glass, having harps of God, ³ and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true are Thy ways, O King of saints,

¹⁰ and I fell before his feet, to bow before him, and he saith to me, `See—not! fellow servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren, those having the testimony of Jesus; bow before God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of the prophecy.'

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;

¹¹ The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar. ¹² The field exulteth, and all that is in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest, ¹³ Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!

¹ Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places. ² Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts. ³ Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light. ⁴ Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

²³ Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah hath wrought, Shout, O lower parts of earth, Break forth, O mountains, with singing, Forest, and every tree in it, For Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, And in Israel He doth beautify Himself.

¹³ Sing, O heavens, and joy, O earth, And break forth, O mountains, with singing, For comforted hath Jehovah His people, And His afflicted ones He doth pity.

¹² For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you with singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand. ¹³ Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a name, For a sign age-during—it is not cut off!

¹⁴ `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men—good will.'

¹⁰ `So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.'

³⁷ for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;

⁸ And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

¹³ And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, `Woe, woe, woe, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.'

¹² The first woe did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.

⁶ and did swear in Him who doth live to the ages of the ages, who did create the heaven and the things in it, and the land and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it—that time shall not be yet,

¹⁰ and those dwelling upon the land shall rejoice over them, and shall make merry, and gifts they shall send to one another, because these—the two prophets—did torment those dwelling upon the land.'

¹⁴ The second woe did go forth, lo, the third woe doth come quickly.

²⁰ `Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'

¹⁵ and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee—the head, and thou dost bruise him—the heel.'

¹² The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth. ¹³ The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh. ¹⁴ A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

³ And there was seen another sign in the heaven, and, lo, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems, ⁴ and his tail doth draw the third of the stars of the heaven, and he did cast them to the earth; and the dragon did stand before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, her child he may devour; ⁵ and she brought forth a male child, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and caught away was her child unto God and His throne,

⁴ Ye—ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles' wings, and bring you in unto Myself.

¹¹ As an eagle waketh up its nest, Over its young ones fluttereth, Spreadeth its wings—taketh them, Beareth them on its pinions; — ¹² Jehovah alone doth lead him, And there is no strange god with him.

⁶ And I say, `Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,

³¹ But those expecting Jehovah pass to power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

²⁵ and words as an adversary of the Most High it doth speak, and the saints of the Most High it doth wear out, and it hopeth to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, till a time, and times, and a division of a time.

⁷ And I hear the one clothed in linen, who is upon the waters of the flood, and he doth lift up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sweareth by Him who is living to the age, that, `After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, finished are all these.'

⁶ and the woman did flee to the wilderness, where she hath a place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her—days a thousand, two hundred, sixty.

³ and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns,

⁴ Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.

⁷ Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

³ Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers. ⁴ Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high is Jehovah,

⁷ Therefore, lo, the Lord is bringing up on them, The waters of the river, the mighty and the great, (The king of Asshur, and all his glory,) And it hath gone up over all its streams, And hath gone on over all its banks.

² Lo, a mighty and strong one is to the Lord, As a storm of hail—a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand.

¹⁹ And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from the rising of the sun—His honour, When come in as a flood doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign against him.
