Zechariah 10

New King James Version

Restoration of Judah and Israel

10 Ask ^(A)the Lord for ^(B)rain
In ^(C)the time of the ^[a]latter rain.
The Lord will make ^[b]flashing clouds;
He will give them showers of rain,
Grass in the field for everyone.

²For the ^(D)idols^[c] speak delusion;
The diviners envision ^(E)lies,
And tell false dreams;
They ^(F)comfort in vain.
Therefore the people wend their way like ^(G)sheep;
They are ^[d]in trouble ^(H)because there is no shepherd.

³“My anger is kindled against the ^(I)shepherds,
^(J)And I will punish the ^[e]goatherds.
For the Lord of hosts ^(K)will visit His flock,
The house of Judah,
And ^(L)will make them as His royal horse in the battle.
⁴From him comes ^(M)the cornerstone,
From him ^(N)the tent peg,
From him the battle bow,
From him every ^[f]ruler together.
⁵They shall be like mighty men,
Who ^(O)tread down their enemies
In the mire of the streets in the battle.
They shall fight because the Lord is with them,
And the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

⁶“I will strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will save the house of Joseph.
^(P)I will bring them back,
Because I ^(Q)have mercy on them.
They shall be as though I had not cast them aside;
For I am the Lord their God,
And I ^(R)will hear them.
⁷Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man,
And their ^(S)heart shall rejoice as if with wine.
Yes, their children shall see it and be glad;
Their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
⁸I will ^(T)whistle for them and gather them,
For I will redeem them;
^(U)And they shall increase as they once increased.

⁹“I^(V) will ^[g]sow them among the peoples,
And they shall ^(W)remember Me in far countries;
They shall live, together with their children,
And they shall return.
¹⁰^(X)I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt,
And gather them from Assyria.
I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon,
^(Y)Until no more room is found for them.
¹¹^(Z)He shall pass through the sea with affliction,
And strike the waves of the sea:
All the depths of ^[h]the River shall dry up.
Then ^(AA)the pride of Assyria shall be brought down,
And ^(AB)the scepter of Egypt shall depart.

¹²“So I will strengthen them in the Lord,
And ^(AC)they shall walk up and down in His name,”
Says the Lord.

New King James Version

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

¹⁴Then 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. ¹⁵And another angel ^(A)came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, ^(B)“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come ^[a]for You to reap, for the harvest ^(C)of the earth is ripe.” ¹⁶So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Reaping the Grapes of Wrath

¹⁷Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

¹⁸And another angel came out from the altar, ^(D)who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, ^(E)“Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” ¹⁹So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into ^(F)the great winepress of the wrath of God. ²⁰And ^(G)the winepress was trampled ^(H)outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, ^(I)up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred ^[b]furlongs.

Revelation 15

New King James Version

Prelude to the Bowl Judgments

15 Then ^(A)I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: ^(B)seven angels having the seven last plagues, ^(C)for in them the wrath of God is complete.

²And I saw something like ^(D)a sea of glass ^(E)mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, ^(F)over his image and ^[a]over his mark and over the ^(G)number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, ^(H)having harps of God. ³They sing ^(I)the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the ^(J)Lamb, saying:

^(K)“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
^(L)Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the ^[b]saints!
⁴^(M)Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are ^(N)holy.
For ^(O)all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”

⁵After these things I looked, and ^[c]behold, ^(P)the ^[d]temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. ⁶And out of the ^[e]temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, ^(Q)clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. ⁷^(R)Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God ^(S)who lives forever and ever. ⁸^(T)The temple was filled with smoke ^(U)from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
