Old/New Testament
5 Then I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked and beheld a flying book!
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I answered, “I see a flying book! Its length is twenty cubits! And its width is ten cubits!”
3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the whole Earth. ‘For everyone who steals shall be cut off, according to this side of the scroll. And everyone who swears shall be cut off, according to that side of the scroll.
4 ‘I will bring it forth,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who falsely swears by My Name. And it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with its timber and its stones.’”
5 Then the Angel that talked with me went forth and said to me, “Now, lift up your eyes and see what this is that goes forth.”
6 And I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is an ephah that goes forth.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance throughout all the Earth.”
7 And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead. And this is a woman who sits in the midst of the ephah.
8 And he said, “This is wickedness.” And he cast it into the midst of the ephah. And he cast the weight of lead upon its mouth.
9 Then I lifted my eyes and looked. And behold, two women came out. And the wind was in their wings (for they had wings like the wings of a stork). And they lifted up the ephah between the Earth and the sky.
10 Then I said to the Angel that talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah?”
11 And he said to me, “To build it a house in the land of Shinar. And it shall be established and set there, upon its own place.”
6 Again, I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked. And behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 In the first chariot were red horses. And in the second chariot were black horses.
3 And in the third chariot were white horses. And in the fourth chariot were horses of diverse colors, and reddish.
4 Then I answered, and said to the Angel that talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 And the Angel answered, and said to me, “These are the four spirits of Heaven, which go forth from standing with the LORD of all the Earth.
6 The one with the black horse went forth into the land of the North. And the white went out after them. And those of diverse colors went forth toward the South country.
7 And the reddish went out and were eager to go and pass through the world. And he said, “Go! Pass through the world!” So, they went throughout the world.
8 Then he cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold! These that go toward the North country have pacified My spirit in the North country!”
9 And the Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
10 “Take from those of the captivity, of Heldai and of Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have come from Babel. And you come the same day, and go to the House of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah.
11 “Take silver and gold and make crowns. And set them upon the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak the High Priest,
12 “And speak to him, saying, ‘Thus speaks the LORD of Hosts, and says: “Behold, the Man whose name is the Branch. And He shall grow up out of his place. And He shall build the Temple of the LORD.
13 “He shall build the Temple of the LORD and He shall bear the Glory and shall sit and rule upon His Throne. And He shall be a Priest upon His Throne. And the Counsel of Peace shall be between them both.
14 “And the crowns shall be for Helem and for Tobijah and for Jedaiah and for Hen, the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the Temple of the LORD.
15 “And those who are far off shall come and build in the Temple of the LORD. And you shall know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you. And this shall happen at that time if you will obey the voice of the LORD your God.”’”
7 And in the fourth year of King Darius, the Word of the LORD came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month, during Chislev.
2 For they had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech and their men to the House of God, to pray before the LORD,
3 and to speak to the priests who were in the House of the LORD of Hosts, and to the Prophets, saying, “Should I weep during the fifth month and separate myself, as I have done these so many years?”
4 Then came the Word of the LORD of Hosts to me, saying:
5 “Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, and say, “When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months, for seventy years, did you fast for Me? For Me?
6 “And when you ate, and when you drank, did you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 “Should you not hear the Words which the LORD has cried by the ministry of the former Prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited, and in prosperity, and its cities all around her, when the South and the plain were inhabited?”
8 And the Word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying:
9 “Thus speaks the LORD of Hosts, saying: ‘Execute true judgment. And show mercy and compassion, every man to his brother.
10 ‘And do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the stranger or the poor. And let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11 ‘But they refused to listen. And pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears, so that they would not hear.
12 ‘Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they hear the Law and the Words which the LORD of Hosts sent in His Spirit, by the ministry of the former Prophets. Therefore, a great wrath came from the LORD of Hosts.
13 ‘Therefore, it happens at this time that as he cried and they would not hear, so they cried and I would not hear,’ says the LORD of Hosts.
14 ‘But I scattered them among all the nations whom they did not know. Thus, the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through or returned. For they laid the pleasant land waste.’”
8 Again the Word of the LORD of Hosts came, saying,
2 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘I was zealous for Zion with great zeal! And I was zealous for her with great wrath!’
3 “Thus says the LORD: ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called a City of Truth, and the Mountain of the LORD of Hosts, the Holy Mountain.’
4 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘There, old men and old women shall still dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand because of age.
5 ‘And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls, playing in her streets.’
6 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘Even if it is impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it therefore be impossible in My sight?’ says the LORD of Hosts.
7 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘Behold, I will deliver My people from the East country, and from the West country.
8 ‘And I will bring them. And they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be My people. And I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.’
9 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘Let your hands be strong, you who today hear these Words by the mouths of the Prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the House of the LORD of Hosts was laid, so that the Temple might be built.
10 ‘For before these days, there were no wages for man, or any hire for beast. Nor was there any peace for him who went out or came in, because of the affliction. For I set all men, everyone, against his neighbor.
11 ‘But now, I will not treat the rest of this people as before,’ says the LORD of Hosts.
12 ‘For the seed shall be prosperous. The vine shall give her fruit. And the ground shall give her increase. And the heavens shall give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
13 ‘And it shall happen at that time that as you were a curse among the heathen, O House of Judah, and House of Israel, so I will deliver you. And you shall be a blessing. Do not fear! Let your hands be strong!’
14 “For thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘As I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘and did not repent,
15 ‘So again have I determined in these days to do well to Jerusalem, and to the House of Judah. Do not fear.
16 ‘These are the things that you shall do: Every man speak the truth to his neighbor. Execute judgment truly and uprightly in your gates.
17 ‘And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor. And love no false oath. For these are all things that I hate,’ says the LORD.”
18 And the Word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
19 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be joy and gladness to the House of Judah, and prosperous High Feasts. Therefore, love the truth and peace.’
20 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘People shall still come, the inhabitants of great cities.
21 ‘And those who dwell in one shall go to another, saying, “Up! Let us go and pray before the LORD and seek the LORD of Hosts! I will go also!”
22 ‘Yea, great people and mighty nations shall come to seek the LORD of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.’
23 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘In those days, ten men shall take hold—out of all languages of the nations— take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, and say, ‘We will go with you! For we have heard that God is with you!’”
19 And after these things, I heard a great voice of a great multitude in Heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and honor and power be to the Lord our God!
2 “For true and righteous are His judgments! For He has condemned the great whore who corrupted the Earth with her fornication; and has avenged the blood of His servants, shed by her hand!”
3 And again they said, “Hallelujah! And her smoke rises up for evermore!”
4 And the 24 elders, and the four beasts, fell down and worshipped God Who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
5 Then a voice came out of the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all his servants; and you who fear Him, both small and great!”
6 And I heard a voice like that of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of strong thunderings, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord God Almighty has reigned!
7 “Let us be glad and rejoice and give glory to Him! For the marriage of the Lamb has come! And his wife has made herself ready!
8 “And to her it was granted that she should be arrayed with pure fine linen and shining!” For fine linen is the righteousness of saints!”
9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the Lamb’s supper.’” And he said to me, “These words of God are true.”
10 And I fell before his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do it. I am your fellow servant, and one of your brothers, who has the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.”
11 And I saw Heaven open. And behold, a white horse. And He who sat upon him was called faithful and true. And He judges and fights righteously.
12 And His eyes were as a flame of fire. And on His head were many crowns. And He had a name written, that no one knew but Himself.
13 And He was clothed with a garment dipped in blood. And His name is called, ‘The Word of God’.
14 And the armies who were in Heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed with fine linen, white and pure.
15 And out of His mouth went a sharp sword; so that with it, He would strike the heathen. For He shall rule them with a rod of iron. For it is He who treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And He has upon his garment, and upon his thigh, a name written, ‘The King of Kings and Lord of Lords’.
17 And I saw an angel stand in the Sun, who cried with a loud voice, saying, “To all the birds that flew by the midst of Heaven: Come! And gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God;
18 “so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of high captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all freemen, and bondmen, and of small and great.”
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the Earth, and their hosts, gathered together to make battle against Him who sat on the horse; and against His army.
20 But the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet who wrought miracles before him (whereby he deceived those who received the beast’s mark and those who worshipped his image). These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant was slain with the sword of Him who sits upon the horse (which comes out of His mouth). And all the birds were filled full with their flesh.
