De mensen die door de Heer zijn gered
14 Ik zag het Lam op de berg Sion staan, samen met 144.000 mensen. Op hun voorhoofd stond de naam van het Lam en de naam van zijn Vader. 2 En ik hoorde een geluid uit de hemel komen. Het leek op het geluid van de zee, of van de donder. Ook hoorde ik het geluid van heel veel harpspelers die op hun harp speelden. 3 En ze zongen een nieuw lied vóór de troon, de vier wezens en de 24 gemeenteleiders. Alleen de 144.000 mensen konden dat lied leren. Verder niemand. Zij zijn de mensen van de aarde die door de Heer zijn vrijgekocht. 4 Zij zijn altijd trouw aan het Lam geweest. Ze volgen het Lam, waar Hij ook heengaat. Zij zijn uit de mensen vrijgekocht. En net als het eerste deel van de oogst,[a] zijn zij aan God en aan het Lam gegeven. 5 Nooit hebben ze gelogen. Ze staan als volmaakte mensen voor Gods troon.
De drie engelen
6 Ik zag hoog in de hemel een andere engel vliegen. Hij had een eeuwige boodschap voor alle mensen op aarde, voor alle volken en stammen en landen en talen. 7 Hij riep luid: "Heb ontzag voor God en eer Hem! Want het moment is gekomen dat Hij gaat rechtspreken! Aanbid Hem die de hemel, de aarde, de zee en de waterbronnen heeft gemaakt!"
8 Achter hem kwam een tweede engel die riep: "Verwoest, verwoest is Babylon, die grote stad die alle volken heeft meegesleurd in haar ongehoorzaamheid aan God."
9 Achter hem kwam een derde engel die luid riep: "Alle mensen die het beest en zijn beeld aanbidden en het merkteken van het beest op hun voorhoofd of op hun rechterhand hebben, 10 zullen uit de wijnbeker van Gods straf moeten drinken.[b] God zal geen genade met hen hebben. Ze zullen gemarteld worden met vuur en zwavel. De heilige engelen en het Lam zullen toekijken. 11 Hun marteling zal eeuwig duren, dag en nacht. Ze zullen geen moment met rust gelaten worden."
12 Hieruit blijkt het geduld van de gelovigen: dat ze altijd Gods wetten gehoorzamen en hun geloof in Jezus vasthouden.
13 En ik hoorde een stem uit de hemel tegen mij zeggen: "Schrijf op: Wat is het heerlijk voor de mensen die vanaf dit moment sterven terwijl ze bij de Heer horen. De Geest zegt dat ze mogen uitrusten van alles wat ze gedaan en meegemaakt hebben. Ze gaan nu hun beloning krijgen voor wat ze hebben gedaan."
De oogst van de aarde
14 Toen zag ik een witte wolk. Op die wolk zat Iemand die op een mens leek. Hij had een gouden kroon op zijn hoofd en een scherp maaimes in zijn hand. 15 Er kwam een andere engel uit de tempel. Hij riep luid tegen Hem die op de wolk zat: "Maai met uw maaimes de hele aarde. Nu is het tijd om te maaien. De oogst op de aarde is rijp." 16 En Hij die op de wolk zat, maaide met zijn maaimes de hele aarde.
17 Er kwam nóg een engel uit de tempel die in de hemel staat. Ook hij had een scherp maaimes. 18 En een andere engel kwam uit het altaar. Hij had de macht over het vuur. Hij riep luid tegen de engel met het scherpe maaimes: "Maai met je scherpe maaimes de hele aarde. Oogst de druiventrossen van de wijngaard op aarde. Want de druiven zijn rijp." 19 En de engel oogstte met zijn maaimes de druiven van de aarde. Hij sneed de druiventrossen ermee af en gooide ze in de grote druivenpers van Gods straf. 20 De druiven werden in de pers buiten de stad geperst. Er kwam een enorme stroom bloed[c] uit: het kwam tot de teugels van de paarden (dus ongeveer 1½ m diep) en tot 1600 stadiën ver (300 km).[d]

- Openbaring 14:10 Gods straf wordt in de bijbel vaak vergeleken met het drinken uit een wijnbeker. Lees bijvoorbeeld Jeremia 51:7.
- Openbaring 14:20 In plaats van 'bloed' kan ook 'druivensap' ('druivenbloed'). Waarschijnlijk is er door de vertalers voor 'bloed' gekozen omdat met de 'druiven' de ongelovige, slechte mensen worden bedoeld. Lees ook Joël 3:13.

El cántico de los 144 000
14 Miré, y vi que el Cordero estaba de pie sobre el monte de Sión, y que con él había ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil personas, las cuales tenían inscritos en la frente el nombre de él y el de su Padre.(A) 2 Entonces oí una voz que venía del cielo, semejante al estruendo de un poderoso caudal de agua, y al sonido de un fuerte trueno. La voz que oí parecía ser la de arpistas que tocaban sus arpas. 3 Estaban ante el trono, delante de los cuatro seres vivientes y de los ancianos, y cantaban un cántico nuevo, que nadie más podía aprender sino los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil que habían sido redimidos de la tierra. 4 Éstos son los que jamás tuvieron contacto con mujeres, pues son vírgenes, y son los que siguen al Cordero por dondequiera que va. Fueron redimidos de entre toda la gente como los primeros frutos para Dios y para el Cordero. 5 No se halló en sus labios mentira alguna,(B) pues son irreprochables.
El mensaje de los tres ángeles
6 Luego vi otro ángel, el cual volaba en medio del cielo. Tenía el evangelio eterno, para predicarlo a los habitantes de la tierra, es decir, a toda nación, raza, lengua y pueblo. 7 Ese ángel decía con fuerte voz: «Teman a Dios, y denle gloria, porque la hora de su juicio ha llegado. Adoren al que hizo el cielo y la tierra, el mar y los manantiales de agua.»
8 A ese ángel lo siguió otro, que decía: «¡Ya cayó Babilonia!(C) ¡Ya cayó esa gran ciudad! Cayó porque embriagó a todas las naciones con el ardiente vino de su inmoralidad sexual.»
9 A los dos ángeles los siguió un tercero, que a grandes voces decía: «El que adore a la bestia y a su imagen, y acepte llevar su marca en la frente o en la mano, 10 también beberá del vino de la ira de Dios, que ha sido vaciado puro en la copa de su ira,(D) y será atormentado con fuego y azufre(E) delante de los santos ángeles y del Cordero. 11 El humo de su tormento subirá por los siglos de los siglos,(F) pues ni de día ni de noche tendrán reposo los que adoren a la bestia y a su imagen, ni nadie que acepte llevar la marca de su nombre.»
12 Aquí se verá la paciencia de los santos, de los que obedecen los mandamientos de Dios y mantienen la fe en Jesús.
13 Entonces oí una voz que venía del cielo, la cual me decía: «Escribe: De aquí en adelante, bienaventurados sean los que mueren en el Señor.» Y el Espíritu dice: «Sí, porque así descansarán de sus trabajos, pues sus obras los acompañan.»
La tierra es segada
14 Miré, y vi aparecer una nube blanca. Sobre esa nube estaba sentado alguien que parecía ser el Hijo del Hombre.(G) Llevaba en la cabeza una corona de oro, y en la mano tenía una hoz afilada. 15 En ese momento, otro ángel salió del templo; y con fuerte voz le gritó al que estaba sentado sobre la nube: «¡Usa tu hoz, y levanta la cosecha! ¡Ha llegado la hora de cosechar, pues la cosecha de la tierra ya está madura!(H) 16 El que estaba sentado sobre la nube lanzó su hoz sobre la tierra, y la cosecha de la tierra fue levantada.
17 En ese momento, del templo que está en el cielo salió otro ángel. También llevaba una hoz afilada. 18 Y un ángel más salió del altar, el cual tenía poder sobre el fuego. Con fuerte voz llamó al ángel que tenía la hoz afilada, y le dijo: «Usa tu afilada hoz, y vendimia los racimos de la tierra, porque sus uvas ya están maduras.» 19 El ángel lanzó su hoz sobre la tierra y vendimió su viña, y luego echó las uvas en el gran lagar de la ira de Dios. 20 Y se exprimieron las uvas en el lagar,(I) fuera de la ciudad, y la sangre que salió del lagar les llegó a los caballos hasta los frenos, a una distancia de mil seiscientos estadios.

Revelation 14
King James Version
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

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
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.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying [i]to me, “Write: (AD)‘Blessed are the dead (AE)who die in the Lord from now on.’ ”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, (AF)“that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow (AG)them.”
Reaping the Earth’s Harvest
14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel (AH)came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, (AI)“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come [j]for You to reap, for the harvest (AJ)of the earth is ripe.” 16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Reaping the Grapes of Wrath
17 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, (AK)who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, (AL)“Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into (AM)the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And (AN)the winepress was trampled (AO)outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, (AP)up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred [k]furlongs.
