Revelation 14
New Life Version
The Lamb Stands in Jerusalem
14 Then I looked and saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion. There were 144,000 people with Him. These people had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 I heard a voice coming from heaven. It was like the sound of rushing water and of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like people playing music on their harps. 3 This large group sang a new song. They sang before the throne and in front of the four living beings and the twenty-four leaders. Only the 144,000 could learn this song. They had been bought by the blood of Christ and made free from the earth. 4 These are men who have kept themselves pure by not being married. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been bought by the blood of Christ and have been made free from among men. They are the first ones to be given to God and to the Lamb. 5 No lie has come from their mouths. They are without blame.
The Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying in the heavens. He was carrying the Good News that lasts forever. He was preaching to every nation and to every family group and to the people of every language and to all the people of the earth. 7 He said with a loud voice, “Honor God with love and fear. The time has come for Him to judge all men. Worship Him Who made heaven and earth and the sea and the places where water comes out of the earth.”
8 A second angel followed, saying, “Babylon has fallen! The great city Babylon has fallen! She made all the nations drink of the wine of her sinful sex life.”
9 A third angel followed, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the wild animal and his false god and receives a mark on his forehead or hand, 10 he will drink of the wine of the anger of God. It is mixed in full strength in the cup of God’s anger. They will be punished with fire and burning sulphur in front of the holy angels and before the Lamb. 11 The smoke of those who are being punished will go up forever. They have no rest day or night. It is because they have worshiped the wild animal and his false god and have received the mark of his name. 12 This is why God’s people need to keep true to God’s Word and stay faithful to Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write these words: ‘From now on those who are dead who died belonging to the Lord will be happy.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will have rest from all their work. All the good things they have done will follow them.”
The War of Armageddon
14 I looked and saw a white cloud. Sitting on the cloud was One like the Son of Man. He had a crown of gold on His head. In His hand He had a sharp knife for cutting grain. 15 Then another angel came out from the house of God and called to Him with a loud voice. He said, “Use Your knife and gather in the grain. The time has come to gather the grain because the earth is ready.” 16 He Who sat on the cloud raised His knife over the earth. And the grain was gathered in.
17 Then another angel came out from the house of God in heaven. He had a sharp knife for cutting grain also. 18 Another angel who has power over fire came out from the altar. He said with a loud voice to the angel who had the sharp knife, “Use your knife and gather in the grapes from the vine of the earth, for they are ready to gather.” 19 The angel used his sickle on the earth. He gathered from the vine of the earth and put the fruit into the large place for making wine. It was full of God’s anger. 20 They walked on it outside the city and blood came out of the place where wine is made. The blood ran as far as a man could walk in seven days. It came up as high as a horse’s head.
Revelation 14
New King James Version
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.

Apocalipsis 14
Ang Biblia (1978)
14 At tumingin ako, at narito, (A)ang Cordero ay nakatayo sa (B)bundok ng Sion, at ang kasama niya'y (C)isang daan at apat na pu't apat na libong may pangalan niya, at pangalan ng kaniyang Ama, na nasusulat sa kanikaniyang noo.
2 At narinig ko ang isang tinig na mula sa langit, na (D)gaya ng lagaslas ng maraming tubig, at gaya ng ugong ng malakas na kulog: at ang tinig na aking narinig ay gaya ng sa mga manunugtog ng (E)alpa na tumutugtog ng kanilang mga alpa:
3 At (F)sila'y nangagaawitan na wari'y isang bagong awit sa harapan ng luklukan, at sa harap ng apat na nilalang na buhay at ng matatanda: at sinoman ay hindi maaaring matuto ng awit kundi ang isang daan at apat na pu't apat na libo lamang, sa makatuwid ay siyang mga binili mula sa lupa.
4 Ang mga ito'y ang hindi nangahawa sa mga babae; sapagka't sila'y mga (G)malilinis. At ang mga ito'y ang (H)nagsisisunod sa Cordero saan man siya pumaroon. Ang mga ito'y ang binili sa gitna ng mga tao, na maging mga (I)pangunahing bunga sa Dios at sa Cordero.
5 At (J)sa kanikaniyang bibig ay walang nasumpungang kasinungalingan: (K)sila'y mga walang dungis.
6 At nakita ko ang ibang anghel na lumilipad sa gitna ng langit, (L)na may mabuting balita na walang hanggan upang ibalita sa mga nananahan sa lupa, at sa bawa't bansa at angkan at wika at bayan;
7 At sinasabi niya ng malakas na tinig, Matakot kayo sa Dios, at (M)magbigay kaluwalhatian sa kaniya; sapagka't dumating ang panahon (N)ng kaniyang paghatol: at magsisamba kayo sa gumawa ng langit at ng lupa at ng dagat at ng mga bukal ng tubig.
8 At ang iba, ang pangalawang anghel, ay sumunod na nagsasabi, (O)Naguho, naguho ang dakilang Babilonia, (P)na siyang nagpainom sa lahat na bansa ng alak ng kagalitan ng kaniyang pakikiapid.
9 At ang ibang anghel, ang pangatlo, ay sumunod sa kanila, na nagsasabi ng malakas na tinig, (Q)Kung ang sinoman ay sumasamba sa hayop at sa kaniyang larawan, at tumatanggap ng tanda sa kaniyang noo, o sa kaniyang kamay,
10 (R)Ay iinom din naman siya ng alak ng kagalitan ng Dios, na nahahandang walang halo (S)sa inuman ng kaniyang kagalitan; at siya'y (T)pahihirapan ng (U)apoy at asupre sa harapan ng mga banal na anghel, at sa harapan ng Cordero:
11 At (V)ang usok ng hirap nila ay napaiilanglang magpakailan kailan man; at sila'y (W)walang kapahingahan araw at gabi, silang mga nagsisisamba sa hayop at sa kaniyang larawan, at sinomang tumatanggap ng tanda ng kaniyang pangalan.
12 Narito (X)ang pagtitiyaga ng mga banal, (Y)ng mga nagsisitupad ng mga utos ng Dios, at ng pananampalataya kay Jesus.
13 At narinig ko ang isang tinig na mula sa langit na nagsasabi, (Z)Isulat mo, Mapapalad ang mga patay (AA)na nangamamatay sa Panginoon mula ngayon: oo, sinasabi ng Espiritu, (AB)upang sila'y mangagpahinga sa kanilang mga gawa; sapagka't ang kanilang mga gawa ay sumusunod sa kanila.
14 At nakita ko, at narito, ang isang alapaap na maputi; at nakita ko na nakaupo sa alapaap ang isang (AC)katulad ng isang anak ng tao, na sa kaniyang ulo'y may isang putong na ginto, at sa kaniyang kamay ay may isang panggapas na matalas.
15 At lumabas ang ibang anghel (AD)sa templo, na sumisigaw ng malakas na tinig doon sa nakaupo sa alapaap, (AE)Ihulog mo ang iyong panggapas, at gumapas ka; sapagka't dumating ang oras ng paggapas, sapagka't ang aanihin sa lupa ay hinog na.
16 At inihagis ng nakaupo sa alapaap ang kaniyang panggapas sa lupa; at ang lupa ay nagapasan.
17 At lumabas ang ibang anghel (AF)sa templong nasa langit, na may panggapas din namang matalas.
18 At ang ibang anghel ay lumabas (AG)sa dambana, na siyang may kapangyarihan sa apoy, at tinawagan ng malakas na tinig yaong may panggapas na matalas, na sinasabi, (AH)Ihulog mo ang iyong panggapas na matalas, at putihin mo ang mga buwig sa ubasan sa lupa; sapagka't ang kaniyang mga ubas ay mga hinog na.
19 At inihagis ng anghel ang kaniyang panggapas sa lupa, at pinuti ang mga ubas sa lupa, at inihagis sa (AI)pisaan ng ubas, sa malaking pisaan ng kagalitan ng Dios.
20 At nayurakan (AJ)ang pisaan ng ubas sa labas ng bayan, at lumabas sa pisaan ng ubas ang dugo, na umapaw hanggang sa mga preno ng mga kabayo, sa lawak na isang libo at anim na raang estadio.
