The Lamb and the 144,000
14 Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps, 3 and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste;[a][b] it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are spotless.
The Messages of the Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 7 and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water.”
8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon[c] the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion.”
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also shall drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, 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 goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
Reaping the Earth’s Harvest
14 Then I looked, and lo, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat upon the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” 16 So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18 Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” 19 So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God; 20 and the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as a horse’s bridle, for one thousand six hundred stadia.[d]

Dios Habla Hoy
El Cordero y los elegidos
14 Vi al Cordero, que estaba de pie sobre el monte Sión. Con él había ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil personas que tenían escrito en la frente el nombre del Cordero y de su Padre. 2 Luego oí un sonido que venía del cielo; era como el sonido de una cascada, como el retumbar de un fuerte trueno; era un sonido como el de muchos arpistas tocando sus arpas. 3 Y cantaban un canto nuevo delante del trono y delante de los cuatro seres vivientes y de los ancianos. Ninguno podía aprender aquel canto, sino solamente los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil que fueron salvados de entre los de la tierra. 4 Éstos son vírgenes, no se contaminaron con mujeres; son los que siguen al Cordero por dondequiera que va. Fueron salvados de entre los hombres como primera ofrenda para Dios y para el Cordero. 5 No se encontró ninguna mentira en sus labios, pues son intachables.
El Hijo del hombre y seis ángeles
6 Vi otro ángel, que volaba en medio cielo y que llevaba un mensaje eterno para anunciarlo a los que viven en la tierra, a todas las naciones, razas, lenguas y pueblos. 7 Decía con fuerte voz: «Teman a Dios y denle alabanza, pues ya llegó la hora en que él ha de juzgar. Adoren al que hizo el cielo y la tierra, el mar y los manantiales.»
8 Lo siguió un segundo ángel, que decía: «¡Ya cayó, ya cayó la gran Babilonia, la que emborrachó a todas las naciones con el vino de su prostitución!»
9 Luego los siguió otro ángel, el tercero, que decía con fuerte voz: «Si alguno adora al monstruo y a su imagen, y se deja poner su marca en la frente o en la mano, 10 tendrá que beber el vino de la ira de Dios, que se ha preparado puro en la copa de su enojo; y será atormentado con fuego y azufre delante de los santos ángeles y del Cordero. 11 El humo de su tormento sube por todos los siglos, y no hay descanso de día ni de noche para los que adoran al monstruo y a su imagen y reciben la marca de su nombre.»
12 ¡Aquí se verá la fortaleza del pueblo santo, de aquellos que cumplen sus mandamientos y son fieles a Jesús!
13 Entonces oí una voz del cielo, que me decía: «Escribe esto: “Dichosos de aquí en adelante los que mueren unidos al Señor.”»
«Sí—dice el Espíritu—, ellos descansarán de sus trabajos, pues sus obras los acompañan.»
14 Miré, y vi una nube blanca, y sobre la nube estaba sentado alguien que parecía ser un hijo de hombre. Llevaba una corona de oro en la cabeza y una hoz afilada en la mano. 15 Y salió del templo otro ángel, gritando con fuerte voz al que estaba sentado en la nube: «¡Mete tu hoz y recoge la cosecha; porque ya llegó la hora, y la cosecha de la tierra está madura!» 16 El que estaba sentado en la nube pasó entonces su hoz sobre la tierra, y recogió la cosecha de la tierra.
17 Luego otro ángel salió del templo que está en el cielo, llevando él también una hoz afilada. 18 Y del altar salió otro ángel, que tenía autoridad sobre el fuego y que llamó con fuerte voz al que llevaba la hoz afilada, diciendo: «¡Mete tu hoz afilada, y corta con ella los racimos de los viñedos que hay en la tierra, porque ya sus uvas están maduras!» 19 El ángel pasó su hoz sobre la tierra y cortó las uvas de los viñedos de la tierra, y luego las echó en el gran recipiente que se usa para exprimirlas y que simboliza la ira de Dios. 20 Las uvas fueron exprimidas fuera de la ciudad, y del recipiente salió sangre, que llegó a la altura de los frenos de los caballos en una extensión de trescientos kilómetros.

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]
