1 Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb I was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard I was like I the sound of harpists playing on their harps.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
4 These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These I are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
5 And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.
[jfb]

6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
7 and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters."
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
8 And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality."
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
9 Then another angel, a third one, 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,
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
11 "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
12 Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, "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, for their deeds follow with them."

14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud I was one like a son of man, having a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe."
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
16 Then He who sat on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[pnt]
18 Then another angel, the one who has power over fire, came out from the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe."
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
19 So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered I the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God.
[jfb]
[pnt]
20 And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles.
