³⁶ He who ^(A)believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who ^(B)does not ^[a]obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^[a](A)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(B)from the wrath of God through Him.

⁶ For it is because of these things that ^(A)the wrath of God will come ^[a]upon the sons of disobedience,

The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion

14 Then 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. ² And 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. ³ And they *^[a]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 ^[b]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. ⁵ And ^(T)no lie was found in their mouth; they are ^(U)blameless.

Vision of the Angel with the Gospel

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in ^(V)midheaven, having ^(W)an eternal gospel to preach to ^(X)those who ^[c]live on the earth, and to ^(Y)every nation and tribe and tongue and people; ⁷ and 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.”

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

Doom for Worshipers of the Beast

⁹ Then 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, ¹⁰ he also will drink of the ^(AK)wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed ^[f]in full strength ^(AL)in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with ^(AM)fire and ^[g]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 ^[h]whoever receives the ^(AS)mark of his name.” ¹² Here is ^(AT)the ^[i]perseverance of the ^[j]saints who ^(AU)keep the commandments of God and ^[k](AV)their faith in Jesus.

¹³ And 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

¹⁴ Then I looked, and behold, a ^(BB)white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one ^(BC)like ^[l]a son of man, having a golden ^(BD)crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand. ¹⁵ And another angel ^(BE)came out of the ^[m]temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “^[n](BF)Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the ^(BG)harvest of the earth ^[o]is ripe.” ¹⁶ Then He who sat on the cloud ^[p]swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

¹⁷ And another angel ^(BH)came out of the ^[q]temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ Then 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, “^[r](BK)Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters ^[s]from the vine of the earth, ^(BL)because her grapes are ripe.” ¹⁹ So the angel ^[t]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. ²⁰ And ^(BN)the wine press was trodden ^(BO)outside the city, and ^(BP)blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses’ bridles, ^[u]for a distance of ^[v]two hundred miles.

A Scene of Heaven

15 Then I saw ^(BQ)another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, ^(BR)seven angels who had ^(BS)seven plagues, which are ^(BT)the last, because in them the wrath of God is finished.

² And I saw something like a ^(BU)sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had ^(BV)been victorious ^[w]over the ^(BW)beast and ^(BX)his image and the ^(BY)number of his name, standing on the ^(BZ)sea of glass, holding ^(CA)harps of God. ³ And they *sang the ^(CB)song of Moses, ^(CC)the bond-servant of God, and the ^(CD)song of the Lamb, saying,

⁵ After these things I looked, and ^(CK)the ^[z]temple of the ^(CL)tabernacle of testimony in heaven was opened, ⁶ and the ^(CM)seven angels who had the seven plagues ^(CN)came out of the ^[aa]temple, clothed in ^[ab]linen, clean and bright, and ^(CO)girded around their chests with golden sashes. ⁷ Then one of the ^(CP)four living creatures gave to the ^(CQ)seven angels seven ^(CR)golden bowls full of the ^(CS)wrath of God, who ^(CT)lives forever and ever. ⁸ And the ^[ac]temple was filled with ^(CU)smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one was able to enter the ^[ad]temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

Six Bowls of Wrath

16 Then I heard a loud voice from ^(CV)the ^[ae]temple, saying to the ^(CW)seven angels, “Go and ^(CX)pour out ^[af]on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

² So the first angel went and poured out his bowl ^[ag](CY)on the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant ^(CZ)sore on the ^[ah]people ^(DA)who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

³ The second angel poured out his bowl ^(DB)into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living ^[ai]thing in the sea died.

⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the ^(DC)rivers and the springs of waters; and they ^(DD)became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “^(DE)Righteous are You, ^(DF)who are and who were, O ^(DG)Holy One, because You ^(DH)judged these things; ⁶ for they poured out ^(DI)the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them ^(DJ)blood to drink. They ^[aj]deserve it.” ⁷ And I heard ^(DK)the altar saying, “Yes, O ^(DL)Lord God, the Almighty, ^(DM)true and righteous are Your judgments.”

⁸ The fourth angel poured out his bowl upon ^(DN)the sun, ^(DO)and it was given to it to scorch men with fire. ⁹ Men were scorched with ^[ak]fierce heat; and they ^(DP)blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they ^(DQ)did not repent so as to ^(DR)give Him glory.

¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the ^(DS)throne of the beast, and his kingdom became ^(DT)darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, ¹¹ and they ^(DU)blasphemed the ^(DV)God of heaven because of their pains and their ^(DW)sores; and they ^(DX)did not repent of their deeds.

¹² The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the ^(DY)great river, the Euphrates; and ^(DZ)its water was dried up, so that ^(EA)the way would be prepared for the kings ^(EB)from the ^[al]east.

Armageddon

¹³ And I saw coming out of the mouth of the ^(EC)dragon and out of the mouth of the ^(ED)beast and out of the mouth of the ^(EE)false prophet, three ^(EF)unclean spirits like ^(EG)frogs; ¹⁴ for they are ^(EH)spirits of demons, ^(EI)performing signs, which go out to the kings of the ^(EJ)whole ^[am]world, to ^(EK)gather them together for the war of the ^(EL)great day of God, the Almighty. ¹⁵ (“Behold, ^(EM)I am coming like a thief. ^(EN)Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, ^(EO)so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”) ¹⁶ And they ^(EP)gathered them together to the place which ^(EQ)in Hebrew is called ^[an](ER)Har-Magedon.

Seventh Bowl of Wrath

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon ^(ES)the air, and a ^(ET)loud voice came out of the ^[ao](EU)temple from the throne, saying, “^(EV)It is done.” ¹⁸ And there were flashes of ^(EW)lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was ^(EX)a great earthquake, ^(EY)such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. ^19 (EZ)The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the ^[ap]nations fell. ^(FA)Babylon the great was ^(FB)remembered before God, to give her ^(FC)the cup of the wine of ^[aq]His fierce wrath. ²⁰ And ^(FD)every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And ^(FE)huge ^[ar]hailstones, about ^[as]one hundred pounds each, *came down from heaven upon men; and men ^(FF)blasphemed God because of the ^(FG)plague of the hail, because its plague *was extremely ^[at]severe.
