Revelation 7-11

Revelation 7

¹And after these things I saw four messengers, standing upon the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree;

²and I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he did cry with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,

³‘Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we may seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads.'

⁴And I heard the number of those sealed, (144 thousands were sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel):

⁵of the tribe of Judah 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad 12 thousand were sealed;

⁶of the tribe of Asher 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh 12 thousand were sealed;

⁷of the tribe of Simeon 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar 12 thousand were sealed;

⁸of the tribe of Zebulun 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin 12 thousand were sealed.

⁹After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands,

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

¹¹And 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,

¹²saying, ‘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!'

¹³And 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?'

¹⁴and 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;

¹⁵because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them;

¹⁶they shall not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any heat,

¹⁷because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.'

Revelation 8

¹And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,

²and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,

³and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,

⁴and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;

⁵and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

⁶And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;

⁷and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

⁸And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,

⁹and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters,

¹¹and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.

¹²And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine -- the third of it, and the night in like manner.

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

Revelation 9

¹And 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,

²and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit.

³And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,

⁴and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but -- the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads,

⁵and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is] as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;

⁶and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.

⁷And the likenesses of the locusts [are] like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,

⁸and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] of lions,

⁹and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings [is] as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;

¹⁰and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five months;

¹¹and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.

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

¹³And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,

¹⁴saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, ‘Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;'

¹⁵and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;

¹⁶and the number of the forces of the horsemen [is] two myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them.

¹⁷And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [are] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and brimstone;

¹⁸by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,

¹⁹for their authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure;

²⁰and 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,

²¹yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.

Revelation 10

¹And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of the heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,

²and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land,

³and he cried with a great voice, as a lion doth roar, and when he cried, speak out did the seven thunders their voices;

⁴and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, ‘Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,' and, ‘Thou mayest not write these things.'

⁵And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven,

⁶and 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,

⁷but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he may be about to sound, and the secret of God may be finished, as He did declare to His own servants, to the prophets.

⁸And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, ‘Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:'

⁹and I went away unto the messenger, saying to him, ‘Give me the little scroll;' and he saith to me, ‘Take, and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet -- as honey.'

¹⁰And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up, and it was in my mouth as honey -- sweet, and when I did eat it -- my belly was made bitter;

¹¹and he saith to me, ‘It behoveth thee again to prophesy about peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings -- many.'

Revelation 11

¹And there was given to me a reed like to a rod, and the messenger stood, saying, ‘Rise, and measure the sanctuary of God, and the altar, and those worshipping in it;

²and the court that is without the sanctuary leave out, and thou mayest not measure it, because it was given to the nations, and the holy city they shall tread down forty-two months;

³and I will give to My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy days, a thousand, two hundred, sixty, arrayed with sackcloth;

⁴these are the two olive [trees], and the two lamp-stands that before the God of the earth do stand;

⁵and if any one may will to injure them, fire doth proceed out of their mouth, and doth devour their enemies, and if any one may will to injure them, thus it behoveth him to be killed.

⁶These have authority to shut the heaven, that it may not rain rain in the days of their prophecy, and authority they have over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the land with every plague, as often as they may will.

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,

⁸and their dead bodies [are] upon the broad-place of the great city (that is called spiritually Sodom, and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified,)

⁹and they shall behold -- they of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations -- their dead bodies three days and a half, and their dead bodies they shall not suffer to be put into tombs,

¹⁰and 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.'

¹¹And after the three days and a half, a spirit of life from God did enter into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those beholding them,

¹²and they heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, ‘Come up hither;' and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them;

¹³and in that hour came a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city did fall, and killed in the earthquake were names of men -- seven thousands, and the rest became affrighted, and they gave glory to the God of the heaven.

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

¹⁵And 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!'

¹⁶and the twenty and four elders, who before God are sitting upon their thrones, did fall upon their faces, and did bow before God,

¹⁷saying, ‘We give thanks to Thee, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art coming, because Thou hast taken Thy great power and didst reign;

¹⁸and the nations were angry, and Thine anger did come, and the time of the dead, to be judged, and to give the reward to Thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Thy name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the land.'

¹⁹And opened was the sanctuary of God in the heaven, and there was seen the ark of His covenant in His sanctuary, and there did come lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
