Revelation 14 (New American Standard Bible)

Revelation 14

The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion

 ¹Then I looked, and behold, ^(A)the Lamb was standing on ^(B)Mount Zion, and with Him ^(C)one hundred and forty-four thousand, having ^(D)His name and the ^(E)name of His Father written ^(F)on their foreheads.

 ²And I heard a voice from heaven, like ^(G)the sound of many waters and like the ^(H)sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of ^(I)harpists playing on their harps.

 ³And they sang ^(J)a new song before the throne and before the ^(K)four living creatures and the ^(L)elders; and ^(M)no one could learn the song except the ^(N)one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ^(O)purchased from the earth.

 ^4(P)These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they ^[a]have kept themselves chaste These are the ones who ^(Q)follow the Lamb wherever He goes These have been ^(R)purchased from among men ^(S)as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

 ⁵And ^(T)no lie was found in their mouth; they are ^(U)blameless.

Vision of the Angel with the Gospel

 ⁶And I saw another angel flying in ^(V)midheaven, having ^(W)an eternal gospel to preach to ^(X)those who live on the earth, and to ^(Y)every nation and tribe and tongue and people;

 ⁷and he said with a loud voice, "^(Z)Fear God, and ^(AA)give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who ^(AB)made the heaven and the earth and sea and ^(AC)springs of waters."

 ⁸And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "^(AD)Fallen, fallen is ^(AE)Babylon the great, she who has ^(AF)made all the nations drink of the ^(AG)wine of the passion of her immorality."

Doom for Worshipers of the Beast

 ⁹Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone ^(AH)worships the beast and his ^(AI)image, and receives a ^(AJ)mark on his forehead or on his hand,

 ¹⁰he also will drink of the ^(AK)wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength ^(AL)in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with ^(AM)fire and brimstone in the presence of the ^(AN)holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

 ¹¹"And the ^(AO)smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; ^(AP)they have no rest day and night, those who ^(AQ)worship the beast and his ^(AR)image, and whoever receives the ^(AS)mark of his name."

 ¹²Here is ^(AT)the perseverance of the saints who ^(AU)keep the commandments of God and ^(AV)their faith in Jesus.

 ¹³And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, "Write, '^(AW)Blessed are the dead who ^(AX)die in the Lord from now on!'" "Yes," ^(AY)says the Spirit, "so that they may ^(AZ)rest from their labors, for their ^(BA)deeds follow with them."

The Reapers

 ¹⁴Then I looked, and behold, a ^(BB)white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one ^(BC)like ^[b]a son of man, having a golden ^(BD)crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.

 ¹⁵And another angel ^(BE)came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "^(BF)Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the ^(BG)harvest of the earth is ripe."

 ¹⁶Then He who sat on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

 ¹⁷And another angel ^(BH)came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.

 ¹⁸Then another angel, ^(BI)the one who has power over fire, came out from ^(BJ)the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "^(BK)Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, ^(BL)because her grapes are ripe."

 ¹⁹So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into ^(BM)the great wine press of the wrath of God.

 ²⁰And ^(BN)the wine press was trodden ^(BO)outside the city, and ^(BP)blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a distance of ^[c]two hundred miles.
