Lamentation for the King of Tyre

¹¹ Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ¹² “Son of man, ^(A)take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

The Fall of Lucifer

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and behold, ^[a]a ^(A)Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him ^(B)one hundred and forty-four thousand, ^[b]having His Father’s name ^(C)written on their foreheads. ² And I heard a voice from heaven, ^(D)like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of ^(E)harpists playing their harps. ³ They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song ^(F)except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These are the ones who were not defiled with women, ^(G)for they are virgins. These are the ones ^(H)who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These ^(I)were ^[c]redeemed from among men, ^(J)being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. ⁵ And ^(K)in their mouth was found no ^[d]deceit, for ^(L)they are without fault ^[e]before the throne of God.

The Proclamations of Three Angels

⁶ Then I saw another angel ^(M)flying in the midst of heaven, ^(N)having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—^(O)to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— ⁷ saying with a loud voice, ^(P)“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; ^(Q)and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

⁸ And another angel followed, saying, ^(R)“Babylon^[f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because ^(S)she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

⁹ Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ^(T)“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his ^(U)mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he himself ^(V)shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is ^(W)poured out full strength into ^(X)the cup of His indignation. ^(Y)He shall be tormented with ^(Z)fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹ And ^(AA)the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

^12 (AB)Here is the ^[g]patience of the saints; ^(AC)here^[h] are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
