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.

Lammet och de 144 000
14 Sedan såg jag Lammet stå på Sions berg[a], och tillsammans med Lammet de 144 000[b], som hade Lammets namn och hans Faders namn skrivna på sina pannor. 2 Jag fick höra en röst från himlen, som lät som dånet av stora vattenmassor och som mullret av åska, eller som en hel orkester av harpor.
3 De sjöng en ny sång inför tronen och inför de fyra levande varelserna och de tjugofyra himmelska ledarna. Ingen kunde lära sig den sången, utom de 144 000 som hade blivit friköpta från jorden. 4 Det är de som inte har orenat sig med kvinnor utan är rena som jungfrur.[c] De följer Lammet vart det än går, för de har blivit friköpta från jordens alla människor som en första skörd åt Gud och Lammet. 5 Man har aldrig funnit någon lögn i deras mun, de är fläckfria.
De tre änglarna
6 Efter det fick jag se en annan ängel, som flög mitt över himlen. Han hade ett evigt evangelium[d] att förkunna för dem som bor på jorden, för alla länder och stammar och språk och folk. 7 Han sa med hög röst: ”Frukta Gud och ge honom äran, för stunden har kommit då han ska döma. Tillbe honom som skapade himlen och jorden och havet och vattenkällorna.”
8 En andra ängel följde efter honom och sa: ”Det stora Babylon har fallit, det har fallit, det som drog med sig alla folk i drickandet av sin otukts vredesvin.”[e]
9 Sedan följde en tredje ängel som sa med hög röst: ”Den som tillber odjuret[f] och dess bild och tar dess märke på pannan eller på handen 10 måste också dricka av Guds vredes vin, som outspätt har hällts upp i Guds vredes bägare. Och han ska plågas med eld och svavel inför de heliga änglarna och Lammet.[g] 11 Röken från deras plågor ska stiga upp i all evighet, och de ska inte få någon lindring vare sig dag eller natt, alla dessa som tillber odjuret och dess bild och tar emot märket med dess namn[h]. 12 Här behövs uthållighet hos de heliga, hos dem som håller fast vid Guds bud och tron på Jesus.”
13 Jag hörde en röst från himlen som sa: ”Skriv: lyckliga är de döda som från och med nu dör i Herren.” ”Ja”, säger Anden, ”de ska få vila från sitt arbete, för deras gärningar följer dem.”
Skördetid på jorden
14 Sedan fick jag se ett vitt moln, och på det satt någon som liknade en Människoson[i]. Han hade en krans av guld på sitt huvud och en vass lie i sin hand.
15 En ängel kom nu ut från templet och ropade med hög röst till honom som satt på molnet: ”Det är dags att skörda! Låt din lie svepa över jorden, för skörden är mogen.” 16 Han som satt på molnet svepte då med sin lie över jorden, och skörden på jorden samlades in. 17 Ännu en ängel kom ut från templet i himlen, och han hade också en vass lie.
18 Sedan kom en ängel ut från altaret, och han hade makt över elden. Han ropade med hög röst till ängeln som hade den vassa lien: ”Ta din lie och skär av druvklasarna från jordens vinstock, för vindruvorna är mogna.” 19 Då svepte ängeln med sin lie över jorden och skar av druvklasarna och kastade druvorna i Guds vredes stora vinpress. 20 Druvorna trampades sedan i vinpressen utanför staden.[j] Blod flöt därifrån så att den skulle nå upp till betslet på en häst, bort mot en 1 600 stadier[k] lång sträcka.

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]
