A third angel followed them. He said in a loud voice, “There will be trouble for anyone who worships the beast and its statue! There will be trouble for anyone who has its mark on their forehead or their hand! 10 They, too, will drink the wine of God’s great anger.

Day and night, there will be no rest for anyone who worships the beast and its statue. There will be no rest for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 12 God’s people need to be very patient. They are the ones who obey God’s commands. And they remain faithful to Jesus.

“Yes,” says the Holy Spirit. “They will rest from their labor. What they have done will not be forgotten.”
