Apocalipsis 14
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
El cortejo del Cordero y el cántico nuevo
14 Volví a mirar, y vi al Cordero de pie sobre el monte de Sión. Lo acompañaban los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil que llevaban grabado en la frente el nombre del Cordero y el nombre de su Padre. 2 Y escuché un sonido como de aguas caudalosas y de truenos fragorosos que venía del cielo; era, sin embargo, el sonido de arpistas tañendo sus cítaras. 3 Entonaban un cántico nuevo delante del trono, y delante de los cuatro seres vivientes y de los ancianos; un cántico que nadie era capaz de cantar, fuera de los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil rescatados de la tierra. 4 Estos son los que no se contaminaron con la idolatría manteniéndose vírgenes, los que forman el cortejo perenne del Cordero, los rescatados de entre la humanidad como primeros frutos para Dios y para el Cordero, 5 los de palabras sinceras y de conducta intachable.
El mensaje de los tres ángeles
6 Vi también otro ángel que volaba por lo más alto del cielo. Tenía un evangelio eterno que anunciar a los habitantes de la tierra; a todas las razas, naciones, lenguas y pueblos. 7 Decía con voz poderosa:
— Teman a Dios y dénle gloria, porque ha sonado la hora del juicio. Adoren al creador del cielo y de la tierra, del mar y de los manantiales de agua.
8 Un segundo ángel lo seguía, proclamando:
— ¡Por fin cayó la orgullosa Babilonia, la que emborrachó al mundo entero con el vino de su desenfrenada lujuria! 9 Y un tercer ángel seguía a los dos anteriores, clamando con voz poderosa:
— ¡Adoren, si ustedes lo quieren, a la bestia y a su imagen! ¡Déjense tatuar su marca, si les place, en la frente o en la mano! 10 Pero entonces, dispónganse a beber el vino de la ira de Dios que ha sido vertido sin mezcla alguna en la copa de su furor, dispónganse a ser torturados con fuego y azufre en presencia de los santos ángeles y del Cordero. 11 El tormento será eterno y no habrá descanso ni de día ni de noche para quienes adoren a la bestia y a su imagen, para quienes se hayan dejado tatuar su nombre. 12 ¡Ha sonado la hora de poner a prueba la firmeza de los consagrados a Dios, de los que cumplen los mandamientos de Dios y son fieles a Jesús!
13 Y oí una voz que decía: desde el cielo:
— Escribe esto: “Dichosos desde ahora los muertos que mueren en el Señor. El Espíritu mismo les asegura el descanso de sus fatigas, por cuanto sus buenas obras los acompañan”.
Tiempo de siega y de vendimia
14 Volví a mirar, y vi una nube blanca. Sentado sobre ella había un ser de aspecto humano que llevaba una corona de oro en la cabeza y una hoz afilada en la mano. 15 Salió del Templo otro ángel y gritó con voz poderosa al que estaba sentado en la nube:
— Empuña tu hoz y comienza a segar. Es el tiempo de la siega, pues ya está la mies en sazón.
16 Acercó su hoz a la tierra el que estaba sentado sobre la nube y segó la mies de la tierra.
17 A continuación salió del Templo celestial otro ángel, que también llevaba una hoz afilada. 18 Y todavía surgió del altar un ángel más —el que tiene poder sobre el fuego— y ordenó con fuerte voz al de la hoz afilada:
— Empuña tu hoz afilada y vendimia los racimos de la viña de la tierra, pues ya están las uvas en sazón.
19 Acercó el ángel su hoz a la tierra, vendimió la viña de la tierra y arrojó la vendimia al gran lagar de la ira de Dios. 20 En las afueras de la ciudad fue pisado el lagar y salió de él tanta sangre, que inundó la tierra hasta alcanzar la altura de las bridas de un caballo en un radio de trescientos kilómetros.

El Cordero y los elegidos
14 Vi al Cordero, que estaba de pie sobre el monte Sión. Con él había ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil personas que tenían escrito en la frente el nombre del Cordero y de su Padre. 2 Luego oí un sonido que venía del cielo; era como el sonido de una cascada, como el retumbar de un fuerte trueno; era un sonido como el de muchos arpistas tocando sus arpas. 3 Y cantaban un canto nuevo delante del trono y delante de los cuatro seres vivientes y de los ancianos. Ninguno podía aprender aquel canto, sino solamente los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil que fueron salvados de entre los de la tierra. 4 Éstos son vírgenes, no se contaminaron con mujeres; son los que siguen al Cordero por dondequiera que va. Fueron salvados de entre los hombres como primera ofrenda para Dios y para el Cordero. 5 No se encontró ninguna mentira en sus labios, pues son intachables.
El Hijo del hombre y seis ángeles
6 Vi otro ángel, que volaba en medio cielo y que llevaba un mensaje eterno para anunciarlo a los que viven en la tierra, a todas las naciones, razas, lenguas y pueblos. 7 Decía con fuerte voz: «Teman a Dios y denle alabanza, pues ya llegó la hora en que él ha de juzgar. Adoren al que hizo el cielo y la tierra, el mar y los manantiales.»
8 Lo siguió un segundo ángel, que decía: «¡Ya cayó, ya cayó la gran Babilonia, la que emborrachó a todas las naciones con el vino de su prostitución!»
9 Luego los siguió otro ángel, el tercero, que decía con fuerte voz: «Si alguno adora al monstruo y a su imagen, y se deja poner su marca en la frente o en la mano, 10 tendrá que beber el vino de la ira de Dios, que se ha preparado puro en la copa de su enojo; y será atormentado con fuego y azufre delante de los santos ángeles y del Cordero. 11 El humo de su tormento sube por todos los siglos, y no hay descanso de día ni de noche para los que adoran al monstruo y a su imagen y reciben la marca de su nombre.»
12 ¡Aquí se verá la fortaleza del pueblo santo, de aquellos que cumplen sus mandamientos y son fieles a Jesús!
13 Entonces oí una voz del cielo, que me decía: «Escribe esto: “Dichosos de aquí en adelante los que mueren unidos al Señor.”»
«Sí—dice el Espíritu—, ellos descansarán de sus trabajos, pues sus obras los acompañan.»
14 Miré, y vi una nube blanca, y sobre la nube estaba sentado alguien que parecía ser un hijo de hombre. Llevaba una corona de oro en la cabeza y una hoz afilada en la mano. 15 Y salió del templo otro ángel, gritando con fuerte voz al que estaba sentado en la nube: «¡Mete tu hoz y recoge la cosecha; porque ya llegó la hora, y la cosecha de la tierra está madura!» 16 El que estaba sentado en la nube pasó entonces su hoz sobre la tierra, y recogió la cosecha de la tierra.
17 Luego otro ángel salió del templo que está en el cielo, llevando él también una hoz afilada. 18 Y del altar salió otro ángel, que tenía autoridad sobre el fuego y que llamó con fuerte voz al que llevaba la hoz afilada, diciendo: «¡Mete tu hoz afilada, y corta con ella los racimos de los viñedos que hay en la tierra, porque ya sus uvas están maduras!» 19 El ángel pasó su hoz sobre la tierra y cortó las uvas de los viñedos de la tierra, y luego las echó en el gran recipiente que se usa para exprimirlas y que simboliza la ira de Dios. 20 Las uvas fueron exprimidas fuera de la ciudad, y del recipiente salió sangre, que llegó a la altura de los frenos de los caballos en una extensión de trescientos kilómetros.

The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,(A) standing on Mount Zion,(B) and with him 144,000(C) who had his name and his Father’s name(D) written on their foreheads.(E) 2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters(F) and like a loud peal of thunder.(G) The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.(H) 3 And they sang a new song(I) before the throne and before the four living creatures(J) and the elders.(K) No one could learn the song except the 144,000(L) who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.(M) They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.(N) They were purchased from among mankind(O) and offered as firstfruits(P) to God and the Lamb. 5 No lie was found in their mouths;(Q) they are blameless.(R)
The Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair,(S) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth(T)—to every nation, tribe, language and people.(U) 7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God(V) and give him glory,(W) because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made(X) the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”(Y)
8 A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’[a](Z) which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”(AA)
9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast(AB) and its image(AC) and receives its mark on their forehead(AD) or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,(AE) which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.(AF) They will be tormented with burning sulfur(AG) in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.(AH) There will be no rest day or night(AI) for those who worship the beast and its image,(AJ) or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”(AK) 12 This calls for patient endurance(AL) on the part of the people of God(AM) who keep his commands(AN) and remain faithful to Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord(AO) from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit,(AP) “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress
14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud,(AQ) and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[b](AR) with a crown(AS) of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple(AT) and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle(AU) and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest(AV) of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(AW) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(AX) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(AY) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(AZ) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(BA) outside the city,(BB) and blood(BC) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[c]

The Lamb and the 144,000 people
14 Then I looked again and I saw the Lamb. He was standing on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. There were 144,000 people there with him. The Lamb's name and his Father's name were written on the front of those people's heads.
2 Then I heard a loud sound which came from heaven. The noise was like water that pours along a river very fast. It was like the loud noise of thunder. The sound was like people who were making music with harps. 3 The 144,000 people were singing a new song that they had learned. They sang it in front of the throne. They sang in front of the four beings that are alive and in front of the leaders. Only these 144,000 people could learn the new song. They are the people that God had saved from among the people who lived on the earth.
4 These 144,000 people have kept themselves pure. They have not had sex with women in a wrong way. They follow the Lamb everywhere that he goes. God has saved them from among the people of the world and he has paid for their sins. They are the first people to become a gift to God and to the Lamb. 5 They have not spoken any lies. They have done nothing wrong.[a]
The three angels with messages
6 Then I saw another angel who was flying high in the sky above me. He brought God's message of good news that is always true. He came to tell this news to everyone who lives on the earth. He would tell it to people from every nation, from every tribe and from every language. 7 He said in a loud voice, ‘Respect God and give him honour! Now it is time for him to judge people. He made the sky and the earth and the sea. He also made the springs of water. So worship him!’
8 A second angel followed the first one. He said, ‘God has destroyed Babylon! It is no longer a great city! It has caused people everywhere to do the same bad things as it enjoys. She is like a prostitute who makes men become drunk and have sex in a wrong way. She has caused them to turn away from God.’[b]
9 A third angel followed the other two angels. He said in a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the wild animal and its idol, God will punish them. If anyone receives that animal's mark on their head or on their hand, God will punish them. 10 God will be very angry with all those people. They will be like people who must drink God's strong wine. When they drink wine from the cup of God's anger, they will have terrible pain. Fire and sulphur will burn them. God's angels and the Lamb will watch while God punishes them. 11 The smoke will rise for ever while they burn. They will have no rest during the day or during the night. This will happen to everyone who worships the wild animal and its image. It will happen to everyone who receives the mark which shows its name.’
12 This means that God's people must go on being patient and strong. They must continue to obey God's rules. They must continue to trust Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice that spoke from heaven. It said, ‘Write this: From this time, people who continue to believe in the Lord and then they die will be very happy.’ God's Spirit says, ‘Yes, they will rest from their work. God will not forget the good things that they have done.’
The earth's harvest
14 Then I looked, and I saw a white cloud in front of me. I saw someone who was like a son of man.[c] He was sitting on the cloud. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp knife in his hand.[d] 15 Then another angel came out from God's house in heaven. He shouted with a loud voice to the person who was sitting on the cloud. He told him, ‘Use your sharp knife and start to work. It is time to bring in the harvest. Cut down the plants and bring them in. The harvest on the earth is now ready.’
16 Then the person who sat on the cloud moved his sharp knife over the earth. He cut down the earth's plants and he brought in the harvest.[e]
17 Then another angel came out from God's house in heaven. He also had a sharp knife in his hand. 18 Again, another angel came from the altar where people offered gifts to God. This angel had authority for the fire on the altar.[f] He shouted with a loud voice to the angel who had the sharp knife. He told him, ‘Use your knife and cut the grapes off the earth's vine. The grapes are ready now to make wine.’
19 So the angel moved his sharp knife over the earth. He cut off the grapes which grew in the earth's vineyard. He threw the grapes into the winepress where God stamps on the grapes because he is very angry. 20 The winepress was outside the city. When God stamped on the grapes, the juice that came out of the winepress was blood.[g] The river of blood was very deep. It rose as high as horses' necks and it went as far as 300 kilometres.
Footnotes
- 14:5 These 144,000 may be a certain group of men who have decided to serve God with all their lives. So they have chosen not to have sex. Or it may mean that they have kept themselves pure because they have not worshipped false gods. They have been completely faithful to the true God. See Revelation 7:3.
- 14:8 Babylon was the capital city of a country that was the enemy of God's people, Israel, many years ago. Babylon had ruled many other countries. The leaders in Rome ruled many countries when Jesus lived on the earth. Really, John may be talking about Rome here when he says ‘Babylon’. But ‘Babylon’ could mean any place that is against God and his people. That means a place where Satan rules.
- 14:14 ‘a son of man’ or ‘a human’. This person seems to be the Lord Jesus. Jesus often called himself the Son of Man. See Daniel 7:13.
- 14:14 The sharp knife had a round shape to cut crops.
- 14:16 The Lord Jesus brings in the harvest of people from all the earth. He will bring all the people together. He will decide who is good. He will also decide who is bad. See Matthew 13:30.
- 14:18 Fire destroys what the farmer does not need after the harvest.
- 14:20 God is showing how angry he is. He is angry with everyone who will not obey him. The grapes are like a picture of bad people. At the time when John was writing Revelation, this is how people made wine. They put the grapes in a big hole that they had cut in the rock. This was called a winepress. Then they walked on the grapes, to squeeze them. Pipes went out of the winepress. The juice from the grapes went out through the pipes. It was red like blood. This is a picture of how God will punish his enemies. So, in fact, John was describing the deaths of these people. See also Revelation 19:15 and Isaiah 63:3.
