Revelation 14:6-13

Christian Standard Bible

The Proclamation of Three Angels

⁶ Then I saw another angel^(A) flying high overhead,^(B) with the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.^{(C) 7} He spoke with a loud voice:^(D) “Fear God^(E) and give him glory,^(F) because the hour of his judgment has come.^(G) Worship the one who made heaven and earth,^(H) the sea and the springs of water.”

⁸ And another, a second angel, followed, saying, “It has fallen, Babylon the Great^(I) has fallen.^[a] She made all the nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality,^[b] which brings wrath.”^(J)

⁹ And another, a third angel, followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is poured full strength into the cup of his anger.^(K) He will be tormented with fire and sulfur^(L) in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, ¹¹ and the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever.^(M) There is no rest^[c](N) day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or anyone who receives the mark^(O) of its name. ¹² This calls for endurance from the saints,^(P) who keep God’s commands and their faith in Jesus.”^[d]

¹³ Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”^(Q)

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “so they will rest from their labors, since their works follow them.”
