The
Apocalypse of Jesus Christ
1)
A revelation of Jesus Christ which the Deity gave
to Him to display to His bond-slaves which things are necessary to come to be
in quickness. He sent away through His Messenger to His bond-slave John,
2)
who testified the ratio of the Deity and the
testimony of Jesus Christ whatsoever things he noticed.
3)
Prosperous is the one who is reading, that is, the
ones who are adhering to the things which, having been written, remain written
in it; for the term is near.
4)
John, to the seven called-out ones, to the
called-out ones in region of Asia: Grace to you and peace away from the One Who
is being and the One Who was and the One Who is coming, and from the seven
dispositions which are before His throne,
5)
and from Jesus Christ, the Faithful Testifier, the
First-product from the corpses and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To the
One Who is regarding us, that is, to Him Who washes us away from our
negative-testimonies in His blood,
6)
and makes us a kingship: priests for the Deity, that
is, His Father, in Him are the opinion and the might unto the aeons of the aeons. Amen!
7)
Notice! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye
will realize Him, and the certain ones which pierced Him, and all the tribes of
the earth will mourn upon Him. Indeed, Amen!
8)
The Controller Deity, the One Who is being and Who
was and the One Who is coming, the Almighty is saying: “I Myself am the Alpha
and the Omega.”
9)
I myself, John, your brother, that is,
fellow-participant together in the pressure, that is, kingship and patience in
Jesus, came to be on the island, the one which is being called Patmos, because
of the ratio of the Deity and the testimony of Jesus.
10)
I came to be
in a disposition on the day of Controller, and I heard behind me a great voice
like a trumpet,
11)
saying: “Write that which you are seeing onto a
document and send to the seven called-out ones: unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna,
and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto
Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.”
12)
Indeed, I completely turned to be seeing the voice
which certain voice was speaking with me, and when I completely turned, I
noticed seven golden candle-stands,
13)
and in center of the candle-stands a similar one to
a son of man who, having been clothed, remained clothed by a robe and who,
having been strapped around, remained strapped around by a golden belt toward
the chest.
14)
Further, His head, even the hairs, were white like
white wool, like snow, and His eyes were like a flame of fire.
15)
And His feet were similar to burnished bronze,
which, having been heated in a furnace, continued to glow, and His voice was
like a voice of many waters.
16)
And He was One holding seven asteroids in His right
hand and a sharp, double-edged long-sword proceeding outwardly, out from His
mouth. Indeed, His face was like the sun shining in its power.
17)
And when I noticed Him, I fell toward His feet like
a corpse, and He placed His right hand upon me saying: “I Myself am the First
One, and the Last One,
18)
and the One Who is living, and I came to be a
corpse and notice, I Myself am living unto the aeons
of the aeons! Also, I am holding the keys of the
Death and the Hades.
19)
Write, therefore, the things which you noticed, and
the things which are and the things being about to come to be after these
things.
20)
The mystery of
the seven asteroids, which you noticed upon My right hand and the seven golden
candle-stands: The seven asteroids are messengers of the seven called-out ones
and the seven candle-stands are seven called-out ones.”
Chapter Two
1)
“To the messenger of the called-out one in Ephesus
write: The One Who is retaining the seven asteroids with His right hand, He Who
is conducting in center of the seven golden candle-stands, is speaking these
things.
2)
I notice your works and the labor and your patience
and that you are not able to bear evil men, and you try out the men who are
accounting themselves to be ones sent away and they are not, indeed you
discover them liars.
3)
Also, you are having patience and you bear [this
discovery] on behalf of My name and have not tired.
4)
Conversely, I am holding that you abandoned your
foremost regard against you.
5)
Recall, therefore, from where you have fallen and
change your mind, and do the first works; or else, I am coming to you and will
remove your candle-stand out from its place.
6)
Conversely, you are having this: That you are
hating the works of the Nicolaitans, which works I
also am hating.
7)
He who is having an ear, let him hear: What is the
Disposition saying to the called-out ones? To the one who is overcoming, I will
deliver to him to be eating out from the tree of the life which is in the
paradise of the Deity.”
8)
“Also, to the messenger of the called-out one in
Smyrna write: The First One and The Last One, Who came to be a corpse and lived
is speaking these things.
9)
I notice
your pressure and the poverty; conversely, you are rich. Also, [I notice] the
blasphemy out from the ones who are accounting themselves to be Jewish. Indeed,
they are not! In fact, [they are] a synagogue of the Adversary!
10)
Do not be
fearing even one thing, which things you are about to be suffering. Notice the
Duplicator is about to be casting ones out from you into prison in order that
you might be tried out and you will have pressure for ten days. Come to be a
faithful one until death, and I will give to you the crown of the life.
11)
Let the one
who is having an ear, hear: What is the Disposition saying to the called-out
ones? The one who is overcoming absolutely might not be injured out from the
second death.”
12)
“To the messenger of the called-out one in Pergamos also write: The One Who is having the sharp
double-edged long-sword is speaking these things.
13)
I notice where you are dwelling, which place is the
throne of the Adversary, and you are retaining My name and you did not
contradict My faith even in the days of Antipas, My faithful testifier, who was
murdered from alongside you where the Adversary is dwelling.
14)
Conversely,
I am holding a few things against you because you are having in that place ones
retaining the instruction of Balaam, who instructed Balac
to be casting before the sons of Israel a scandal: To eat idolatrous things and
to prostitute.
15)
In this
manner also, you yourself are equally having ones retaining the instruction of
the Nicolaitans.
16)
Change your
mind, therefore; or else, I am coming to you quickly and will war with them by
the long-sword of My mouth.
17)
Let the one
who is having an ear, hear: What is the Disposition saying to the called-out
ones? To the one who is overcoming I will give to him the manna which, having
been hidden, remains hidden. I will also give to him a white pebble, and upon
the pebble a new name which, having been written, remains written which not
even one man notices except the one who is receiving it.”
18)
“And to the
messenger of the called-out one in Thyatira write: The Son of the Deity, the
One Who is having His eyes like a flame of fire and His feet similar to
burnished bronze is speaking these things.
19)
I notice
your works and the regard and the faith and the service and your
patience—indeed, your last works are greater than the first.
20)
Conversely,
I am holding that you are releasing the woman Jezebel, who accounts herself a
prophetess and is instructing and leading My bond-slaves to prostitute—indeed,
to be eating idolatrous things—against you.
21)
Indeed, I give time for her in order that she might
change her mind, and she is not desiring to change her mind out from her
prostitution!
22)
Notice,
then, I am casting her onto a bed and the ones who are adulterating with her
into great pressure, if they might not be changing their minds out from their
works.
23)
Also, I will
kill her children with death. Indeed, all the called-out ones will know for
themselves that I Myself am the One Who is searching waste-processors and
thought-processes and I will give to each one of you according to your works.
24)
Moreover, I
am saying to you, to the remainder, to the ones in Thyatira, which certain ones
are not having this instruction—which certain ones do not know the deep things
of the Adversary as they are accounting: I will not cast another burden upon
you.
25)
Nevertheless, retain that which you are having
until I might arrive.
26)
Indeed, the one who is overcoming, the one who is
adhering to My works until end, I will deliver authority upon the nations for
him,
27)
And he will
shepherd them with an iron rod like the vessels of the potter are being
completely shattered.
28)
As I Myself
also received authority from alongside My Father, I also will give to him the
morning asteroid.
29)
Let the one
who is having an ear hear: What is the Disposition saying to the called-out
ones?”
Chapter Three
1)
“Also, to the messenger of the called-out one in
Sardis write: The One Who is having the seven dispositions of the Deity and the
seven asteroids is speaking these things. I notice your works, that you are
having a name that you are living and are a corpse.
2)
Come to be one who is watching cautiously and
strengthen the remainder, which things are about to die; for I do not discover
your works like ones which, having been filled, remain filled before My Deity.
3)
Remember, therefore, how you received and heard and
be adhering and change your mind. Therefore, if you might not cautiously watch,
then I will arrive like a thief and you might absolutely not know: Of what hour
will I arrive upon you?
4)
Conversely, you are having a few names in Sardis
which do not contaminate their clothes, and they will conduct with Me in white
clothes, because they are worthy ones.
5)
In this manner, the one who is overcoming will be
cast around with white clothes and I will absolutely not wipe his name out from
the record of the life; indeed, I will confess his name before My Father and
before His messengers.
6)
Let the one who is having an ear, hear: What is the
Disposition saying to the called-out ones?”
7)
“Also, to the messenger of the called-out one in
Philadelphia write: The Separate One, the One Who is having the key of David,
the One Who is opening and not even one man will shut; that is, shutting and
not even one man is opening, is speaking these things.
8)
I notice your works. Notice! I have given a passage
which, having been opened, remains opened before you, which not even one is
able to shut it, because you are having a little power and adhere to My word
and do not contradict My name.
9)
Notice! I will give ones out from the synagogue of
the Adversary, from the ones who are accounting themselves to be Jewish.
Indeed, they are not; conversely, they are liars. Notice! I will make them in
order that they will arrive and kneel before your feet. Indeed, they should
know that I Myself regard you.
10)
And I Myself will adhere to you out from the hour
of the try-out, of the one being about to come upon the whole household, to
try-out the ones who are housing accordingly upon the earth, because you adhere
to the ratio of My patience.
11)
I am coming quickly! Retain that which you are
having in order that not even one man might receive your garland.
12)
The one who
is overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My Deity and he might
absolutely not come outside any more, and I will write upon him the name of the
city of My Deity, the new Jerusalem, the one which is descending out from the
sky away from My Deity. Also, [I will write upon him] My new name.
13)
Let the one who is having an ear, hear: What is the
Disposition saying to the called-out ones?”
14)
“And to the messenger of the called-out one in
Laodicea write: The Amen, the One, the Faithful One, that is, Unconcealed
Testifier, the Ruler of the creation of the Deity.
15)
I notice your works, that you are neither cold nor
hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16)
Because you are in this manner tepid-neither hot
nor cold-I am about to be vomiting you out from My mouth.
17)
Because you are saying: ‘I am a rich one and have
enriched and am not having even one need.’ Indeed, you have not noticed that
you yourself are the wretched one, that is, pitiful one, and inferior one, and
blind one, and naked one.
18)
I am determining together with you to purchase from
alongside Me, gold which, having been burned, continues to glow out from fire
in order that you might be rich; also white clothes in order that you might
cast them around yourself and might not be manifested; also ointment to rub on
your eyes in order that you might see.
19)
If whomsoever I Myself may be befriending, then I
am examining and child-training. Be seeking, therefore, and change your mind.
20)
Notice! I have stood upon the door and am knocking.
If a certain one might hear my voice and should open the door, then, indeed, I
will come into [the door] toward him and will dine with him and he himself
[will dine] with Me.
21)
To him who is overcoming, I will give to sit down
with Me on My throne as I Myself also sat down with My Father on His throne.
22)
Let the one who is having an ear, hear: What is the
Disposition saying to the called-out ones?”
Chapter Four
1)
After these things I noticed, and notice! A door
which, having been opened, remained opened in the sky and the first voice which
I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me saying: “ Ascend here and I will
display to you which things are necessary to come to be after these things.”
2)
Immediately, I came to be in a disposition. Indeed,
notice a throne was positioned in the sky and upon the throne, one sitting.
3)
Indeed, the One Who is sitting was a similar One in
appearance to a jasper stone and a sardius stone.
Also, a rainbow, which was encircled of the throne, was a similar one to an
emerald.
4)
Also, twenty-four thrones were encircled of the
throne and upon the thrones, twenty-four elders sitting, who, having been
cast-around, remained cast-around in white clothes and golden crowns were upon
their heads.
5)
Indeed, lightings and voices and thunders are
proceeding outwardly, out from the throne. Also, seven blazing lamps of fire
are before the throne, which are the seven dispositions of the Deity.
6)
Also, before the throne is like a glassy sea, a
similar thing to crystal and in center of the throne and around the throne are
four living things, being covered from eyes in front and behind.
7)
And the first living thing is a similar thing to a
lion and the second living thing is a similar thing to a calf and the third
living thing is having the face as of a man and the fourth living thing is a
similar thing to a soaring eagle.
8)
And the four living things, one by one, each of
them having to the number of six wings are being covered from eyes, around and
inwardly, indeed, are not holding up a pause day and night saying: “Separate,
Separate, Separate is the Controller Deity, the Almighty, the One Who was and
the One Who is being and the One Who is coming!”
9)
And whenever the living things will give opinion
and honor and correct-grace to the One Who is sitting upon the throne, to the
One Who is living unto the aeons of the aeons,
10)
then the twenty-four elders will fall before the
One Who is sitting upon the throne and they will kneel to the one Who is living
unto the aeons of aeons and
they will cast their crowns before the throne saying:
11)
“ You are a worthy One, our Controller and our
Deity, to receive the opinion and the honor and the power because You Yourself
created the all things and because of Your desire they were and they were
created!”
Chapter Five
1)
Also, I noticed upon the right of the One Who is
sitting upon the throne, a document which, having been inscribed, remained
inscribed inwardly and behind, having been sealed by seven seals.
2)
Also, I noticed a strong messenger heralding with a
great voice: “Who is a worthy one to open the document and to loose the seals
from it?”
3)
Indeed, not even one in the sky, or upon the earth,
or underneath the earth was able to open the document nor to look at it.
4)
And I was weeping much because not even one worthy
one was discovered to open the document or to look at it.
5)
And one out from the elders is saying to me: “Do
not be weeping! Notice, the Lion, the One out from the tribe of Judah, the Root
of David, overcame to open the document and its seven seals!”
6)
And I noticed in center of the throne and of the
four living things and in center of the elders, a Lamb Who, having stood,
remained standing like one which, having been slaughtered, remained
slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven dispositions
of the Deity, which, having been sent away, remain sent away into all the
earth.
7)
And He came and has received the document out from
the right of the One Who is sitting upon the throne.
8)
And when He received the document, the four living
things and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each one holding a harp
and filled, golden bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the separate
ones.
9)
Also, they are singing a new song saying: “You are
a worthy One to receive the document and to open the seals from it because You
were slaughtered and You purchased in your blood out from every tribe and
language and people and nation for the Deity.
10)
Indeed, You made them a kingship and priests for
our Deity and they will reign upon the earth!”
11)
Also, I noticed and heard a voice of many
messengers around the throne and the living things and the elders, and their
number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
12)
saying with a great voice: “The Lamb Which has been
slaughtered is a worthy One to receive the power, that is, wealth and wisdom
and strength and honor and opinion: indeed, a correct-ratio!”
13)
Also, I heard every creature which is in the sky
and upon the earth and underneath the earth and upon the sea and the all things
in them saying: “To the One Who is sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb is
the correct-ratio and the honor and the opinion and the might unto the aeons of the aeons!”
14)
And the four living things were saying: “Amen!”
Also, the elders fell and kneeled.
Chapter Six
1)
And I noticed when the Lamb opened one out from the
seven seals, indeed, I heard from one out from the four living things saying in
a voice like thunder: “Come!”
2)
And I noticed, and notice, a white horse and the
one sitting upon it holding a bow, and a crown was given to him and he came out
overcoming in order that he might overcome indeed!
3)
Also, when He opened the second seal, I heard from
the second living thing saying: “Come!”
4)
And another horse, a red one, came out; and to the
one sitting upon it was given to receive the peace out from the earth in order
that they will slaughter one another—a great sword, indeed, was given to him!
5)
And when He opened the third seal, I heard from the
third living thing saying: “Come!” And I noticed, and notice, a black horse and
the one who is sitting upon it holding a scale in his hand.
6)
And I heard [something] like a voice in center of
the four living things saying: “A quart of grain: a denarius, and three quarts
of barley: a denarius—indeed you should not wrong the olive-oil and the wine.”
7)
Also, when He opened the fourth seal, I heard a
voice of the fourth living thing saying: “Come!”
8)
And I noticed, and notice, a green horse and the
one who is sitting uprightly- for him is a name: The Death. Also, the Hades was
following with him, and authority was given to them upon the fourth of the
earth to kill with a long-sword and in famine and in death and by the beasts of
the earth.
9)
And when he opened the fifth seal, I noticed
underneath the altar the souls of the ones who, having been slaughtered, remained
slaughtered because of the word of the Deity and because of the testimony which
they were having.
10)
And they
cried with a great voice saying: “Until how long, Separate Despot, that is,
Unconcealed One, are You not judging and avenging our blood out from the ones
who are housing accordingly upon the earth?”
11)
And a white
stole was given to each one of them. Also, to them it was specifically stated
in order that they might pause themselves again a little time: until their
fellow bond-slaves also, even their brethren—the ones about to be killed like
they themselves also—might be fulfilled.
12)
And I noticed when He opened the sixth seal,
indeed, a great earthquake came to be, and the sun came to be black like
sackcloth of animal hair, and the moon came to be like blood.
13)
Also, the asteroids of the sky fell onto the earth
like a fig tree, being shaken by a great wind, is casting its late figs.
14)
Indeed, the
sky was receded like a document being rolled and every hill and island were
moved out from their places.
15)
Also, the kings of the earth and the magistrates
and the commanders and the wealthy ones and the strong ones and every
bond-slave and free one hid themselves into the caves and into the rocks of the
hills.
16)
Also, they are saying to the hills and to the
rocks: “Fall upon us and hide us away from face of the One sitting upon the
throne, and away from the rage of the Lamb!”
17)
Because the
great day of their rage comes, and who is able to stand?”
Chapter Seven
1)
After this I noticed four messengers who, having
stood, remained standing upon the four corners of the earth, seizing the four
winds of the earth in order that a wind may not be blowing upon the earth nor
upon the sea nor upon every tree.
2)
Also, I noticed another messenger ascending away
from the sun rise, holding seals of living Deity and he cried with a great
voice to the four messengers to whom it was given for them to wrong the earth
and the sea, saying:
3)
“You might not wrong the earth nor the sea nor the
trees until we might seal the bond-slaves of our Deity upon their foreheads.”
4)
And I heard the number of the ones who, having been
sealed, remained sealed out from every tribe of sons of Israel:
5)
Out from tribe of Judah, twelve thousand, ones who,
having been sealed, remained sealed; out from tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand;
out from tribe of Gad, twelve thousand;
6)
out from tribe of Asher, twelve thousand; out from
tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand; out from tribe of Manasseh, twelve
thousand;
7)
out from tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; out from
tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; out from tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand;
8)
out from tribe of Zebulun,
twelve thousand; out from tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand, ones who, having
been sealed, remained sealed.
9)
After these things I noticed and, notice, a
numerous crowd, which not even one was able to number it, out from all nations
and tribes and peoples and languages who, having stood, remained standing
before the throne and before the Lamb who, having been cast around, remained
cast around with white stoles—also with palm branches in their hands.
10)
Also, they
are crying with a great voice saying: “The deliverance is for our Deity, for
the One Who is sitting upon the throne, and for the Lamb!”
11)
And all the
messengers had stood, around the throne and the elders and the four living
things, and they fell before the throne upon their faces and kneeled to the
Deity saying:
12)
“Amen! The correct-ratio and the opinion and the
wisdom and the correct-grace and the honor and the power and the strength are
for our Deity unto the aeons of the aeons! Amen!”
13)
Also, one
out from the elders answered, saying to me: “Who are these people who, having
been cast around, remain cast around in the white stoles and from where did
they come?”
14)
And I have spoken to him: “My controller, you
yourself notice.” And he spoke to me: “These are the ones who are coming out
from the great pressure, and are laundering their stoles, and whiten them in
the blood of the Lamb.
15)
Because of
this they are before the throne of the Deity, and they are ministering to Him
day and night in His temple. Also, the One Who is sitting upon the throne will
tabernacle upon them.
16)
They are not hungering still; they are neither
thirsting still. The sun might not even fall upon them, neither heat,
17)
because the
Lamb, the One above center from the throne will shepherd them upon springs from
waters of life. Also, the Deity will wipe every tear out from their eyes.”
1)
And whenever He opened the seventh seal, silence
came to be in the sky about half an hour.
2)
Also, I noticed the seven messengers have stood
before the Deity, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3)
Also, another messenger came and was stood upon the
altar, holding a golden censer, and much incense was given to him in order that
he will give it among the prayers of all the separate ones, upon the golden
altar, the one before the throne.
4)
And the smoke of the incense with the prayers of
the separate ones ascended out from the hand of the messenger before the Deity.
5)
Also, the messenger has taken the censer and fills
it out from the fire of the altar and casts it onto the earth—thunders and
voices and lightning and an earthquake came to be indeed!
6)
Also, the seven messengers, the ones who are
holding the seven trumpets, made themselves in order that they might sound
their trumpets.
7)
And the first one sounded his trumpet, and hail and
fire which, having been mingled, remained mingled in blood, came to be and it
was cast onto the earth, and the third of the earth was burned down, and all
green grass was burned was burned down.
8)
Indeed, the second messenger sounded, and
[something] like a great hill burning with fire, was cast into the sea, and the
third of the sea came to be blood,
9)
And the third of the creatures, of the ones in the
sea, the ones having souls, died, and the third of the ships were wrecked.
10)
And the third messenger sounded his trumpet, and a
great asteroid burning like a lamp, fell from the sky, and it fell upon the
third of the rivers and upon the springs of the waters.
11)
And the name of the asteroid is being accounted:
“The Wormwood.” And the third of the water came to be unto wormwood, and many
of the men died from the waters because they were completely embittered.
12)
And the fourth messenger sounded his trumpet, and
the third of the sun was struck, and the third of the moon and the third of the
asteroids, in order that the third of them might be darkened and the day, the
third of it, might not shine, and the night similarly.
13)
Also, I noticed, and I heard one eagle flying in
midair saying: “Woe, woe, woe to the ones who are housing accordingly upon the
earth out from the remainder of voices from the trumpets of the three
messengers, of the ones being about to be sounding their trumpets.”
Chapter Nine
1)
And the fifth sounded his trumpet and I noticed an
asteroid, which, having fallen, remained fallen out from the sky onto the earth
and the key of the shaft of the Abyss was given to it.
2)
And he opened the shaft of the Abyss, and smoke
ascended out from the shaft like smoke from a great furnace. Also, the sun and
the air were darkened out from the smoke from the shaft.
3)
Also, out came locusts out from the smoke onto the
earth, and authority was given to them like the scorpions of the earth are
having authority.
4)
And in order that they might not wrong the grass of
the earth nor any vegetation nor any tree, except the men, which certain ones
are not having the seal of the Deity upon the foreheads, it was specifically
stated to them.
5)
Also, in order that they might not kill them, but
rather, in order that they will be tortured five months, was given to them.
Indeed, their torture was like torture of a scorpion whenever it might sting
man.
6)
Indeed, in those days, men will seek the death and
absolutely will not discover it. And they will completely crave to die, and the
death is fleeing away from them!
7)
Also, the similarities of the locusts are similar
ones to horses who, having been made, remain made unto war and upon their
heads, like crowns, similar to gold, and their faces, like faces of men.
8)
Also, they were having hairs like hairs of women,
and their teeth were like of lions.
9)
And they were having breastplates like iron
breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like a sound of many horses of
chariots rushing into war.
10)
Also, they are having tails, and stingers similar
to scorpions. And their authority to wrong the men five months is in their
tails.
11)
They are having a king upon them, the messenger of
the Abyss—a name for him in Hebrew: “Abaddon,” and in
the Greek he is having a name: “Apollyon.”
12)
The one woe went away. Notice, two woes are still coming
after these things.
13)
Also, the sixth messenger sounded his trumpet and I
heard one voice out from the four horns of the golden altar, the one before the
Deity,
14)
saying to the sixth messenger: “Loose the four
messengers, the ones who, having been bound, remain bound upon the river, the
great Euphrates.”
15)
And the four messengers, the ones who, having been
made, remained made unto the hour, that is, day and month and year, were loosed
in order that they might kill the third of the men.
16)
And the number of the horsemen of the armies was
two myriads of myriads. I heard their number.
17)
Also, in this manner, I noticed the horse in the
observation, and the ones who were sitting upon them, having fiery and hyacinth
and sulphurous breastplates. Also, the heads of the horses
were like heads of lions, and fire and smoke and sulphur
is outwardly proceeding out from their mouths.
18)
The third of the men were killed away from these
three plagues, out from the fire and the smoke and the sulphur
which is outwardly proceeding out from their mouths.
19)
For the authority of the horses is in their mouth
and in their tails; for their tails are similar to serpents having heads and
they are wronging in them.
20)
And the remainder of the men which were not killed
in these plagues—not even they changed their minds out from the works of their
hands—in order that they will not kneel to the sub-deities and the silver and
the brass and the stones and the wooden idols, which things neither are able to
be seeing nor to be hearing nor to be conducting.
21)
Also, they did not change their minds out from
their murders nor out from their pharmaceuticals, nor out from their
prostitutions, nor out from their kleptomanias.
1)
And I noticed another strong messenger descending
out from the sky who, having been cast-around, remained cast around in a cloud,
and a rainbow upon his head. Indeed, his face is like the sun and his feet like
pillars of fire.
2)
Also he is holding in his hand a small document
which, having been opened, remained open. Also, he positioned his right foot
upon the sea, but the left upon the earth.
3)
Also, he cried in a great voice as pertaining to a
lion is roaring for himself. And when he cried, the seven thunders spoke their
voices.
4)
And when
the seven thunders spoke their voices, I was about to be writing, and I heard a
vice out from the sky speaking to me: “Seal which things the seven thunders
spoke—Indeed you might not write these things.”
5)
Also, the messenger which I noticed had stood upon
the sea and the earth, was raising his unto the sky.
6)
Also, he affirmed in the One Who is living unto the
aeons of the aeons, Who
created the sky and the things in it and the earth and the things in it and the
sea and the things in it, that the time will be no longer.
7)
But rather, in the days whenever the voice of the
seventh messenger might be about to be sounding his trumpet, indeed, the
mystery of the Deity is completed like He correctly announced for His
bond-slaves, the prophets.
8)
Also, the voice, which I heard out from the sky, is
again speaking to me and saying: “Be undergoing! Receive the document, the one
which, having been opened, remains opened in the hand of the messenger, the one
who, having stood, remains standing upon the sea and upon the earth.”
9)
And I went away toward the messenger, saying to him
to give the small document to me, and he is saying to me: “Receive and devour
it—indeed it will sour your stomach, bat rather, it will be sweet like honey in
your mouth.”
10)
And I took the small document out from the hand of
the messenger and I devoured it, and it was sweet like honey in my mouth. And
when I ate it, my stomach was soured.
11)
Also they are saying to me: “To prophesy again upon
many peoples and nations and languages and kings is necessary for you.”
1)
And a reed, similar to a rod, was given to me,
while he is speaking: “Be rising and measure the temple of the Deity and the
altar and the ones who are kneeling in it.
2)
Also, cast outwardly outside the court, the one
outside of the temple, and do not measure it, because it is given to the
nations, and they will trample the city, the separate one, forty and two
months.
3)
And I will give to my two testifiers who, having
been cast-around, remain cast-around in sackcloth, and they will prophesy a
thousand two hundred sixty days.”
4)
These men are the two olive trees and the two lamp
stands which, having stood, remain standing before the Controller of the earth.
5)
And since a certain one is desiring to wrong them,
then fire is outwardly proceeding out from their mouth and is devouring their
enemies. Also, since a certain one might desire to wrong them, then to be
killed in the same manner is necessary for him.
6)
These men are having the authority to close the sky
in order that rain may not be watering the days of their prophesying. Also,
they are having authority upon the waters to turn them into blood and to strike
the earth in every plague as often as they might desire.
7)
And whenever they might complete their testimony,
then the beast which is ascending out from the Abyss will war with them and
will overcome them and will kill them.
8)
Also, their cadaver is upon the street of the great
city, which certain one is being called, dispositionally,
Sodom and Egypt, in which place also their Controller was crucified.
9)
And out from the peoples, that is, tribes and
languages and nations, they are seeing their cadaver three and one half days.
And they are not abandoning their cadavers to be placed into a tomb.
10)
Also, the ones who are housing accordingly upon the
earth are rejoicing upon them and they are being correctly celebrated and will
send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tortured the ones who are
housing accordingly upon the earth.
11)
And after the three and one half days, a
disposition of life out from the Deity entered in them, and they stood upon their
feet, and great fear completely fell upon the ones who were observing them.
12)
Also, they heard a great voice out from the sky
saying: “Ascend here!” And they ascended into the sky in the cloud, and their
enemies observed them.
13)
Also, in that hour, a great earthquake came to be,
and the tenth of the city fell—indeed seven thousand names of men were killed
in the earthquake, and the remainder came to be terrified and gave opinion to
the Deity of the sky.
14)
The second woe went away. Notice, the third woe is
coming quickly!
15)
And the seventh messenger sounded his trumpet and
great voices came to be in the sky saying: “The kingship of the order of our
Controller and of His Messiah comes to be, and He will reign unto the aeons of the aeons!”
16)
Also, the twenty-four elders, the ones who were
sitting upon thrones before the Deity, fell on their faces and kneeled to the
Deity,
17)
saying: “We are correctly gracing to You,
Controller Deity, the Almighty, the One Who is being and the One Who was,
because You have received Your great power and You reign!
18)
And the nations were enraged, and Your rage and the
term of the corpses to be judged and to give the reward to Your bond-slaves, to
the prophets, and to the separate ones and to the ones who were fearing Your
name, to the small ones and to the great ones and to ruin the ones who were
ruining the earth, comes!”
19)
Also, the temple, the one in the sky, of the deity
was opened, and the ark of His covenant was observed in His temple, and
lightning and voices and thunders and an earthquake and great hail came to be.
Chapter Twelve
1)
Indeed, a great signal was observed in the sky: a
woman who, having been cast-around, remained cast-around by the sun, and the
moon was underneath her feet and a crown of twelve asteroids was upon her head.
2)
Also, she was one holding in womb and is crying,
travailing and being tortured to bear.
3)
And another signal was observed in the sky and
notice a great dragon: one having seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns
upon his heads.
4)
And his tail is dragging a third of the asteroids
of the sky and casts them onto the earth. Indeed, the dragon has stood before
the woman, the one about to bear, in order that whenever she might bear, then
he might devour her child.
5)
And she bore a son, a male, who is about to be
shepherding all the nations with an iron rod, and her child was seized toward
the Deity and toward His throne.
6)
Also, the woman fled into the wilderness, where she
is having there a place which, having been made, remained made away from the
Deity in order that they may be feeding her 1260 days there.
7)
And war came to be in the sky—Michael and his
messengers—of the purpose to war with the dragon. Also, the dragon warred and
his messengers.
8)
And he is not strong, neither was their place yet
discovered in the sky.
9)
And the great dragon, the ancient serpent, the one
who is being called: “Duplicator” and “Adversary” he who is leading the entire
inhabited earth astray, was cast—he was cast onto the earth—also his messengers
were cast with him!
10)
Also, I heard a great voice in the sky saying:
“Presently the deliverance and the power and the kingship of our Deity and the
authority of His Messiah comes to be, because the Categorizer of our brethren,
the one who was categorizing them before our Deity day and night, was cast.
11)
And they themselves overcame him because of the
blood of the Lamb and because of the ratio of their testimony. Also, they did
not regard their soul until death.
12)
Because of this, be being gladdened, skies—indeed,
the ones who are dwelling in them! Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the
Duplicator descended toward you, having great rage, when he noticed that he is
having a short term.
13)
And when the dragon noticed that he was cast onto
the earth, he pursued the woman, which certain one bore the male child.
14)
Also, the wings of the great eagle were given to
the woman in order that she might fly into the wilderness, unto her place where
she is being fed there a term and a term and one half of a term, away from the
face of the serpent.
15)
And the serpent cast water like a river out from
its mouth after the woman in order that it might make her like one swept away
by a river.
16)
And the earth assisted the woman—indeed, the earth
opened its mouth and drank down the river which the dragon cast from its mouth.
17)
Also, the dragon was enraged upon the woman and
went away to war with the remainder of her seed, of the ones who are adhering
to the commissions of the Deity, that is, who are holding the testimony of
Jesus.
Chapter Thirteen
1)
Also, He was stood upon the sand of the sea, and I
noticed a beast ascending out from the sea, having ten horns and seven heads:
names of blasphemy.
2)
And the beast, which I noticed, was similar to a
leopard and its feet like feet of a bear and its mouth like a mouth of a lion.
Also, the dragon gave its power and its throne and great authority to it.
3)
Also, one out from its heads was like one which,
having been slaughtered, remained slaughtered into death, and the plague of its
death was healed. And the entire earth was amazed after the beast!
4)
Also, they kneeled to the dragon because it gave
authority to the beast, and they kneeled to the beast, saying: “Who is similar
to the beast—indeed, who is able to war with it?”
5)
And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies
was given to it, and authority to do forty-two months was given to it.
6)
And it opened its mouth into blasphemies toward the
Deity to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle—the ones who are dwelling in the
sky.
7)
Also, to war with the separate ones and to overcome
them was given to it, and authority upon every tribe and people and language
and nation was given to it.
8)
And all the ones who are housing accordingly upon
the earth will kneel to it, of whom his name is has not been written on the
record of the life of the Lamb which has been slaughtered away from downcast of
order.
9)
Since a certain one is having an ear, then let him
listen.
10)
Since a certain one is into captivity, then he is
undergoing into captivity. Since a certain one results to kill in a sword, then
he results to be killed in a sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the
separate ones.
11)
Also, I noticed another beast ascending out from
the earth, and it was having two horns, similar to a lamb, and it was speaking
like a dragon.
12)
Also, it is doing all the authority of the first
beast before it, and is making the earth and the ones who are housing
accordingly in it in order that they will kneel to the first beast, of which
its plague of the death was healed.
13)
And it is making great signals in order that it may
indeed be making fire to be descending out from the sky onto the earth before
the men.
14)
Also, it is leading the ones who are housing
accordingly upon the earth astray, because of the signals which were given to
it to make before the beast, saying to the ones who are housing accordingly
upon the earth to make an icon to the beast, which is having the plague of the
sword and lives.
15)
Also, to give a disposition to the icon of the
beast was given to it in order that the icon of the beast might also speak and
make in order that if whosoever might not kneel to the icon of the beast, then
he might be killed.
16)
Also, it is making all the small ones and the great
ones and the rich ones and the poor ones and the free ones and the bond-slaves
in order that they might give to them the stamp upon their right hand or upon
their forehead,
17)
in order that, indeed, a certain one might not be
able to buy or to sell if not the one who is having the stamp: the name of the
beast or the number of its name.
18)
Here is the wisdom: The one who is holding mind,
let him vote the number of the beast; for it is a number from mankind—his
number is 666 indeed!
Chapter Fourteen
1)
Also, I noticed, and notice the Lamb, which, having
stood, remained standing upon the mount Zion, and with Him, 144,000, having His
name and the name of His Father which, having been written, remained written
upon their foreheads.
2)
And I heard a voice out from the sky like a sound
of many waters and like a sound of great thunders, and the sound which I heard
was like the sound of harpists harping on their harps.
3)
Also, they are singing a new song before the throne
and before the four living things and the elders. Indeed, not even one was able
to learn the song, except the 144,000, the ones having been purchased away from
the earth.
4)
These men are the ones who are not defiled with
women; for they are chaste men. These men are ones who are following with the
Lamb wherever He may be undergoing. These men were purchased away from the men,
a first-product for the Deity and the Lamb.
5)
And a lie was not discovered in their mouths: They
are unblemished men.
6)
And I noticed another messenger—one flying in
midair—holding an aeonic correct message to correctly
announce upon the ones who are sitting upon the earth and upon every nation and
tribe and language and people,
7)
saying in a great voice: “Fear the Deity and give
an opinion to Him: That the hour of His judgment comes! Also, kneel to the One
Who made the sky and the earth, that is, sea and springs of waters!”
8)
And another messenger followed saying: “Falls! The
great Babylon falls! Which has caused the nations to drink out from the wine of
the anger of her prostitution!”
9)
Also, another messenger, a third one, followed with
them, saying with a great voice: “Since a certain one is kneeling to the beast
and its icon and is receiving a stamp upon his forehead or upon his hand,
10)
then, he himself will also drink for himself out
from the wine of the anger of the Deity from the wine which, having been mixed,
remained mixed—undiluted—in the cup of His rage, and he will be tortured by
fire and sulphur before the separate messengers and
before the Lamb.”
11)
Indeed, then, the smoke of their torture is
ascending unto aeons of aeons
and the ones who are kneeling to the beast and its icon are not holding again a
pause for themselves day and night, indeed, since a certain one is receiving
the stamp of its name!
12)
Here is the patience of the separate ones, the ones
who are adhering to the commissions of the Deity and the faith of Jesus.
13)
Also, I heard a voice out from the sky saying:
“Write, Prosperous are the corpses who are dying in Controller away from now!”
Indeed, the Disposition is speaking in order that they will be paused again out
from their toils—for their works are following with them.
14)
And I noticed, and notice a white cloud and a
similar one to a son of man sitting upon the cloud, holding a golden crown upon
His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.
15)
Also, another messenger came out from the temple,
crying in a great voice to the One Who is sitting upon the cloud: “Send Your
sickle and harvest, because the hour to harvest comes, because the harvest of
the earth is withered!
16)
And the one Who is sitting upon the cloud cast His
sickle upon the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17)
Also, another messenger came out from the temple,
the one in the sky—he himself also holding a sharp sickle.
18)
And another messenger, who is having authority upon
the fire from the altar, also sounded with a great voice to the one who is
holding the sharp sickle, saying: “Send your sharp sickle and pick the clusters
of the vine of the earth, because its grapes are ripe.”
19)
And the messenger cast his sickle onto the earth
and picked the vine of the earth and cast [the cluster] into the vat of the
anger of the great Deity.
20)
And the vat was trampled outside from the city, and
blood came out from the vat up to the bridle of the horses away from [a
distance] of 1600 stadia.
Chapter Fifteen
1)
Also, I noticed another great marvelous signal in
the sky: Seven messengers holding seven plagues—the last ones—because the anger
of the Deity is completed in them.
2)
Also, I noticed [something] like a glassy sea
which, having been mingled, remained mingled with fire and the ones who are
overcoming out from the beast and out from its icon and out from the number of
its name who, having stood, remained standing upon the glassy sea, holding
harps from the Deity,
3)
And they are singing the song of Moses, the
bond-slave of the Deity, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Controller, the
Deity—the Almighty! Your works are great and marvelous! The King of the
nations! Your ways are Just and Unconcealed ways!
4)
Controller, who might absolutely not be frightened
and opinionate Your name: That (You are) Alone separate; that all the nations
will be present and will kneel before You; that Your just actions are
manifested?”
5)
And after these things, I noticed and the temple of
the tabernacle of the testimony in the sky was opened,
6)
and the seven messengers who are holding the seven
plagues came out from the temple who, having been cast-around, remained
cast-around in clean bright linen, and who, having been strapped around,
remained strapped around the chests by
golden belts.
7)
Also, one out from the four living things gave
seven golden bowls, filled from the anger of the Deity, the One Who is living
into the aeons of the aeons,
to the seven messengers.
8)
Also, the temple was filled from smoke out from the
opinion of the Deity and out from His power, and not even one man was able to
enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven messengers might be
completed.
Chapter Sixteen
1)
Also, I heard a great voice out from the temple,
saying to the seven messengers: “Be undergoing and be pouring out the seven
bowls of the anger of the Deity onto the earthy.
2)
And the first went away and poured out his bowl
onto the earth, and a prostituted and evil sore came to be upon the men who are
having the stamp of the beast and the ones who are kneeling to its icon,
3)
Also, the second poured out his bowl into the sea,
and blood came to be, as form a corpse, and every soul of life—the things in
the sea—died.
4)
And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers
and the springs of the waters, and blood came to be.
5)
And I heard from the messenger of the waters,
saying: “You are Just—the One Who is being, and the One Who was—the Separate
One, because You judged these things,
6)
because they poured out blood of separate ones and
of prophets; indeed, You have given blood to them to be drinking—they are
worthy ones!”
7)
And I heard from the altar, saying: “Certainly,
Controller, Deity—the Almighty! Your judgments are unconcealed and just!”
8)
Also, the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun,
and to scorch the men in fire was given to him.
9)
Indeed, the men were scorched a great heat, and
they blasphemed the name of the Deity, the One Who is having authority upon
these plagues, and they did not change their minds to give an opinion to Him.
10)
And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne
of the beast, and its kingship became one which, having been darkened, remained
darkened, and they chewed their tongues out from the pain,
11)
And they
blasphemed the Deity of the sky out from their pains, and out from their sores.
Indeed, they did not change their minds out from their works!
12)
And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great
Euphrates River, and its water was evaporated in order that the way of kings,
of the ones from the sunrise, might be made.
13)
And I noticed three unclean dispositions, like
frogs, out from the mouth of the dragon and out from the mouth of the beast and
out from the mouth of the false prophet.
14)
For they are dispositions of sub-deities, making
signals, which are proceeding outwardly upon the kings of the entire inhabited
earth, to be gathering them together into the war of the great day of the
Deity—the Almighty!
15)
“Notice, I am coming like a thief! Prosperous is
the one who is watching, that is adhering to his clothes in order that he may
not be conducting a naked one and they be seeing his shame!”
16)
And they were gathering them together into the
place which is being called in Hebrew, “Armaggedon.”
17)
Also, the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air,
and out came a great voice out from the temple, away from the throne, saying:
“It has come to be!”
18)
And lighting and voices and thunders came to
be—indeed, a great earthquake came to be such as did not become away from which
time mankind came to be upon the earth: This great earthquake was so
tremendous!
19)
And the great city came to be in three parts, and
the cities of the nations fell, and the great Babylon was remembered before the
Deity to give to it the cup of the wine of the anger of His wrath.
20)
And every island fled, and hills were not
discovered.
21)
And great hail, like a talent (in weight), is
descending out from the sky upon the men, and the men blasphemed the Deity out
from the plague of the hail: that the plague is exceeding great!
Chapter Seventeen
1)
Also, one out from the seven messengers who are
holding the seven bowls came and spoke with me saying: “Here! For you, I will
display the judgment of the great prostitute who is sitting upon many waters,
2)
with whom the kings of the earth prostituted, and
the ones who are housing according to the earth were intoxicated out from the
wine of her prostitution.”
3)
And he carried me away onto the wilderness in a
disposition, and I noticed a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, being full of
the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4)
Also, the woman was one who, having been
cast-around, remained cast-around in purple and scarlet and who, having been
covered, remained covered in gold and with valuable stone and pearls, holding a
golden cup in her hand, being full of abominations and the unclean things from
her prostitution.
5)
And upon her forehead, a name which, having been
written, remained written—a mystery: “Babylon the Great, the Mother of the
Prostitutes and of the abominations of the Earth.”
6)
And I noticed the woman being intoxicated out from
the blood of the separate ones, and out from the blood of the testifiers of
Jesus—indeed, when I noticed her, I marveled a great marvel!
7)
Also, I the messenger spoke to me: “Because of what
reason do you marvel? I myself will affirm for you the mystery of the woman and
of the beast which is carrying her which is having the seven heads and ten
horns:
8)
The beast which you noticed, was and is not, and is
being about to be ascending out from the abyss and undergoing into destruction.
Also, the ones housing accordingly upon the earth whose name has not been
written upon the document of the life away from the downcast of the order will
be marveled seeing the beast—that he was and is not, and will be alongside!
9)
The mind which is having wisdom is here: The seven
heads are seven hills—upon them the woman is sitting, indeed, they are seven
kings!
10)
The five fell—the one is—the other one does not yet
come! Indeed, whenever he should come…for him to remain a short term is
necessary.
11)
And the beast which was and is not, indeed, he
himself is an eighth and is out from the seven and is undergoing into
destruction.
12)
Also, the ten horns which you noticed are ten
kings, which certain ones do not yet receive a kingship, but rather, they are
receiving authority one hour like kings with the beast.
13)
These men are holding one-knowledge and are giving
their power, that is, authority to the beast.
14)
These men will war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will
overcome them, because He is a Controller of controllers and a King of
kings—indeed, the ones with Him will be called ones and outspoken ones and
faithful ones.”
15)
Also, he is saying to me: “The waters which you
noticed from which the prostitute is sitting, are peoples and crowds and
nations and languages.
16)
And these ones: the ten horns which you noticed,
and the beast will hate the prostitute—they will, indeed, make her like one
having been desolated, even a naked one, and they will eat from her fleshes and
will burn her down in fire!
17)
For the Deity gave into their hearts to do His
knowledge, and to do one- knowledge, and to give their kingship to the beast
until the ratios of the Deity will be completed.
18)
And the great woman whom you noticed is the great
city which is holding a kingship upon the kings of the earth.”
Chapter Eighteen
1)
After these things, I noticed another messenger
descending out from the sky, having great authority—indeed, the earth was
enlightened out from his opinion,
2)
and he cried with a strong voice, saying: “Falls!
The great Babylon falls!” And it comes to be a household according to
sub-deities and a prison of every unclean disposition and a prison, indeed, of
every unclean bird which, having been hated, remains hated,
3)
because all the nations have drunk out from the
wine of the anger of her prostitution, and the kings of the earth prostituted
with her, and the merchants of the earth enriched out from the power of her
luxuries.”
4)
And I heard another voice out from the sky, saying:
“Out from her! My people come out in order that you might not participate
together with her negative-testimonies, and in order that you might not receive
out from her plagues!
5)
Because her negative-testimonies were attached
together until the sky, and the Deity remembered her unjust actions.
6)
Indeed, give away to her as she herself gave
away—even double the double according to her works! Mix doubly for her in the cup in which she
mixed!
7)
Give to her as much torture and grief as what
things so ever she opinionates herself and is excessive, because she is saying
in her heart that I, a queen, am sitting and I might absolutely not notice
grief.
8)
Because of this, her plagues will arrive in one
day: death, and grief, and famine. Indeed, she will be burned in fire, because
the Controller Deity—Strong One—is the One Who judges her!
9)
And the kings of the earth who prostituted with
her, that is, were luxurious, will weep and will mourn upon her whenever they
may be seeing the smoke of her burning.
10)
Because of the fear of her torture, they have stood
away from a distance, saying: “Woe, woe, the great city, because your judgment
comes in one hour!
11)
Also, the merchants of the earth will weep and will
grieve upon her because not even one man is any longer buying their cargo:
12)
cargo of gold and of silver and of valuable stone
and of pearls and of fine linen and of purple and of silk and of scarlet, and
every valuable tree and every vessel of ivory and every container out from a
valuable tree and brass and iron and marble,
13)
also, cinnamon and spice and incense and ointment
and frankincense and wine and olive-oil and fine flour and grain and beasts of
burden and sheep, and of horses and of chariots and of bodies and souls of men.
14)
And the ripe fruits of the complete-craving of your
soul went away from you, and all the costly things and the bright things were
destroyed away from you, and they absolutely will not discover them any longer.
15)
The merchants of these things who enriched away
from her, will stand away from a distance, because of the fear of her torture,
weeping and grieving,
16)
saying: “Woe, woe, the great city which, having
been cast-around, remained cast-around in fine linen and purple and scarlet,
that is, one which, having been covered, remained covered in gold and valuable
stone and pearl,
17)
because so much wealth was desolated in one hour.”
Also, every ship-master and all who are sailing upon the a place and sailors
and as many so ever as are working the sea, stood away from a distance,
18)
and cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying:
“What is similar to the great city?”
19)
And they cast dust upon their heads, and while
weeping and mourning, they cried, saying: “Woe, woe, the great city in which
all the ones who are having the ships in the sea were enriched out from her
value, because she was desolated in one hour!
20)
O Sky, be
being gladdened upon her, even the separate ones, and the sent-forth ones, and
the forth-tellers, because the Deity judged your judgment out from her!”
21)
Also, one strong messenger picked up a stone—like a
great millstone—and cast it into the sea, saying: “In this manner, in violence,
Babylon—the great city—will be cast and might absolutely not be yet discovered!
22)
Also, a sound of harpists and of musicians and of
flutists and trumpeters might absolutely not be heard in you still, and every
craftsman of every craft might absolutely not be discovered in you still, and a
sound of a mill might absolutely not be heard in you still!
23)
And light from a lamp might absolutely not shine in
you still, and a voice of a bridegroom and of a bride might absolutely not be
heard in you still, because your merchants were the nobles of the earth,
because all the nations were led astray in your pharmacy.”
24)
Indeed, blood of prophets, of separate ones, and of
all the ones who, having been slaughtered, remained slaughtered upon the earth
was discovered in her.
Chapter Nineteen
1)
After these things, I heard [something] like a
great voice of a large crowd in the sky, saying: “Hallelujah! The deliverance
and the opinion and the power of our Deity:
2)
That His judgments are unconcealed and just, that
He judged the great Prostitute, which certain one corrupted the earth in her
prostitution, and He avenged the blood of His bond-slaves out from her hand.
3)
And secondly, they have spoken to say: “Hallelujah!
Her smoke is also ascending into the aeons of the aeons!”
4)
And the twenty-four elders and the four living
things fell and kneeled to the Deity, to the One Who is sitting upon the
throne, saying: “Amen, Hallelujah!”
5)
And a voice came out away from the throne, saying:
“Be praising to our Deity, all His bond-slaves, the ones who are fearing Him,
the small ones and the great ones!”
6)
Also, I heard [something] like a voice of a large
crowd and like a voice of many waters and like a voice of strong thunders,
saying: “Hallelujah! That our Controller Deity, the Almighty, reigns!”
7)
Let us be rejoicing, and be exulting! Indeed, we
will give the opinion to Him: That the wedding of the Lamb comes, and His wife
readies herself—
8)
indeed, bright clean fine linen was given to her in
order that she might be cast-around; for the fine linen is the just actions of
the separate ones.
9)
And he is speaking to me: “Write, Prosperous are
the ones who, having been called, remain called unto the supper of the wedding
of the Lamb—these are the unconcealed ratios of the Deity.”
10)
Also, I fell before his feet to kneel to him, and
he is speaking to me: “Do you not realize? I am a bond-slave together with you
and your brethren who are holding the testimony of Jesus. Kneel to the Deity!
For the testimony of Jesus is the disposition of the prophecy.”
11)
Also, I noticed the sky which, having been opened,
remained opened. Also, notice a white horse and the One Who is sitting upon it
being called a faithful One and an unconcealed One—indeed, He is judging and
warring in justice.
12)
Moreover, His eyes: a flame of fire, and upon His
head, many crowns, having a name which, having been written, remain written
which not even one notices except He Himself,
13)
and having been cast-around, He remained
cast-around in a cloth which, having been dipped in blood, remained bloody—indeed,
His name has been called: “The Ratio of the Deity.”
14)
Also, the armies in the sky were following with Him
upon white horses which, having been clothed, remained clothed with clean white
fine linen.
15)
And a sharp long-sword is proceeding outwardly, out
from His mouth, in order that He might strike the nations with it. He will also
shepherd them with an iron scepter, and He Himself is trampling the vat of the
wine of the anger of the rage of the Almighty Deity.
16)
Also, He is having a name which, having been
written, remained written upon the cloth and upon His thigh: “King of kings and
Controller of controllers.”
17)
And I noticed one messenger who, having stood,
remained standing on the sun, and he is crying with a great voice, speaking to
all the birds which are flying in midair: “Come here! Be gathered together onto
the great supper of the Deity,
18)
in order that you might eat fleshes from kings and
fleshes from commanders and fleshes from strong ones and fleshes from horses
and from the ones who are sitting upon them and fleshes from all: Both free
ones and bond-slaves and small ones and great ones.”
19)
And I noticed the beast and the kings of the earth
and their armies which, having been gathered together, remained gathered
together to war with the One Who is sitting upon the horse and with His army.
20)
Also, the beast was captured and the false-prophet
with it, the one who made the signals before it, in which lead the ones astray
who received the stamp of the beast and the ones kneeling to its icon—the two
were cast, while living, into the lake of the fire which is burning with sulphur.
21)
And the remainder were killed with the long-sword
of the One Who is sitting upon the horse—the one which came out from His
mouth—indeed, all the birds were gorged out form their fleshes.
Chapter Twenty
1)
Also, I noticed a messenger descending out from the
sky, holding the key of the Abyss, and a great chain upon his hand.
2)
And he seized the dragon—the ancient serpent—who is
a duplicator, even the Adversary, and bound him a thousand years.
3)
And he cast him into the Abyss, and locked and
sealed upon it in order that he might no longer lead the nations astray until
the thousand years might be completed. After these things…for him to be loosed
a brief time is necessary.
4)
Also, I
noticed thrones and the souls of the ones who, having been beheaded, remained
beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus and on account of the ratio of
the Deity—which certain ones do not kneel to the beast or its icon, and do not
receive the stamp upon the forehead and upon their hand—sit upon them, and
judgment is given to them: Indeed they live and reign with the Messiah a
thousand years!
5)
Until the thousand years might be complete, the
remainder of the corpses did not live. This is the first resurrection.
6)
Prosperous and separate is the one who is having a
portion in the first resurrection. The second death is not holding authority
over these, in fact, they will be priests of the Deity and of the Messiah, and
they will reign with Him the thousand years!
7)
And the Adversary will be loosed out from his
prison whenever the thousand years might be completed.
8)
And he will come out to lead the nations astray—the
ones in the four corners of the earth—the Gog, that
is, Magog, to be gathering them together into the
war, of whom their number is like the sand of the sea.
9)
And they ascended upon the width of the earth and
marched around the separate ones and the city which, having been regarded,
remained regarded—indeed, fire descended out from the sky and devoured them!
10)
And the Duplicator—the one who was leading them
astray—was cast into the lake of fire, that is, sulphur,
in which place also the beast and the false-prophet were cast: indeed, they
will be tortured day and night into the aeons of the aeons!
11)
Also, I noticed a great white throne and the One
Who was sitting upon it—from Whom the earth and the sky fled away from the
face—and a place was not discovered for them.
12)
And I noticed the corpses—the great and the
small—who, having stood, remained standing before the throne. Also, documents
were opened, and another document was opened which is of the life. Indeed, the
corpses were judged out from the things which, having been written, remained
written in the documents, according to their works.
13)
Also, the sea gave the corpses in it, and the Death
and the Hades gave the corpses—the ones in them—and each one was judged
according to their works.
14)
And the Death and the Hades were cast into the lake
of the fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire!
15)
And since a certain one was not discovered as one
whom, having been written, remained written in the record of the life, then he
was cast into the lake of the fire!
Chapter Twenty-One
1)
Also, I noticed a new sky and a new earth. For the
first sky and the first earth went away—indeed, the sea is no longer!
2)
And I noticed the separate city—New
Jerusalem—descending out from the sky away from the Deity: one which, having
been readied, remained readied like a bride who, having been prepared, remained
prepared for her husband.
3)
Also, I heard a great voice out from the throne,
saying: “Notice, the tabernacle of the Deity with the men—indeed, He will dwell
with them and they themselves will be His people and the Deity Himself will be
with them.
4)
And He will wipe every tear out from their
eyes—indeed, the Death will be no longer, neither grief, nor will a shout or
pain be any longer—because the first things went away.”
5)
Also, the
One Who is sitting upon the throne spoke: “Notice, I am making all things new
things.” Also, He is speaking: “Write that these ratios are faithful and
unconcealed!”
6)
And He spoke to me: “I Myself—the Alpha and the
Omega, the Origin and the End—has come to be! I Myself will freely give out
from the fountain of the water of the life to the one who is thirsting.
7)
The one who is overcoming will inherit these
things, and I will be Deity to him—indeed, he himself will be a son for me!
8)
But for the cowardly ones, that is, unfaithful
ones—indeed, ones who, having come to be abominable, remain abominable and
murderers and fornicators and pharmacists and idolaters and for all the false
ones: their portion is in the lake, in the one which is burning with fire and sulphur—which lake is the second death!”
9)
And one out from the seven messengers holding the
seven bowls—of the ones being full of the last seven plagues—came and spoke to
me, speaking: “Here, I will display for you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10)
And he carried me away in a disposition upon a
great and high hill and displayed for me the separate city—Jerusalem—descending
out from the sky away from the Deity,
11)
holding the opinion of the Deity. Its starlight is
similar to a valuable stone—similar to jasper stone being crystallized—
12)
having a great and high wall, having twelve gates
and twelve messengers upon the gates and names which, having been completely
written, remained completely written, which are of the twelve tribes of sons of
Israel:
13)
Three gates away from the sunrise, and three gates
away from the north, and three gates away from the south, and three gates away
from the sunset.
14)
And the wall of the city, having twelve
foundations: upon them…twelve names of the twelve sent-forth ones from the
Lamb.
15)
Also, the one speaking with me was holding a golden
measure-rod in order that he might measure the city and its gates and its wall.
16)
Also, the city is tetragonal: indeed, its length as
much as the width! And he measured the city with the rod upon twelve thousand:
the length and the width and its height are equal.
17)
And he measured its wall a hundred forty-four
cubits—a measure of a man, of a messenger.
18)
And, the construction-material of its wall—jasper,
and the city—pure gold, similar to clear glass.
19)
The foundations of the wall of the city: ones
which, having been prepared, remained prepared in every valuable stone—the
first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the
fourth, emerald;
20)
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius;
the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the
ninth, topaz; the tenth, crysoprase; the eleventh,
jacinth; the twelfth, ametyst.
21)
And the twelve gates, twelve pearls, apiece, each
one of the gates was out from one pearl, and the wide street of the city is
pure gold like transparent glass.
22)
Also, I did not notice a temple in it. For the
Controller, the Deity—the Almighty and the Lamb—are its temple.
23)
And the city is not having a need from the sun nor
from the moon in order that they may be shining in it; for the opinion of the
Deity lights it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24)
And the nations are conducting through its light,
and the kings of the earth are carrying their opinion into it.
25)
And its gates might absolutely not be closed of a
day, for night will not be there.
26)
Also, they will carry the opinion and the honor of
the nations into it.
27)
Also, any profane thing and the one who is doing an
abomination and a lie might absolutely not enter into it—only the ones who have
been written in the document of the life of the Lamb!
Chapter Twenty-Two
1)
Also, he displayed for me a river of water of
life—bright like crystal—proceeding out from the throne of the Deity and of the
Lamb.
2)
In center of its street and on this and that side
of the river, a tree of life, making twelve fruits, giving away its fruit
according to each month—indeed, the leaves of the tree are unto therapy of the
nations.
3)
Also, every thing according to a curse will not yet
be, and the throne of the Deity and of the Lamb will be in it, and His
bond-slaves will minister for Him.
4)
And they will see His face for themselves, and His
name upon their foreheads.
5)
And night will no longer be—indeed, they are not
having a need from a lamp and light from a sun, because the Controller Deity
will shine upon them—and they will reign into the aeons
of the aeons.
6)
And he spoke to me: “These ratios are faithful and
unconcealed—indeed, the Controller Deity of the dispositions of the prophets
sent away His messenger to display for His bond-slaves which things are
necessary to come to be in quickness.
7)
And notice I am coming quickly! Prosperous is the
one who is adhering to the ratios of the prophecy of this document.”
8)
Also, I myself John, am the one who is hearing,
that is, seeing these things. And when I heard and noticed, I fell to kneel
before the feet of the messenger who was displaying these things for me.
9)
And he is speaking to me: “Do you not realize? I am
a bond-slave together with you and of your brethren, the prophets, and of the
ones who are adhering to the ratios of this document. Kneel to the Deity!”
10)
Also, he is speaking to me: “You might not seal the
ratios of the prophecy of this document; for the term is near.
11)
Let the one who is unjust still be unjust, and let
the defiled one be defiled still, and let the just one do justice still, and
let the separate one be separate still.”
12)
“Notice, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with
Me to give away to each one as his work is.
13)
I Myself am the Alpha and the Omega—the First One
and the Last One—the Origin and the End.
14)
Prosperous are the ones who are washing their
stoles in order that their authority will be upon the tree of the life, and
they might enter into the city by the gates.
15)
Outside are the dogs and the pharmacists and the
prostitutes and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who is regarding,
that is, doing a lie.
16)
I Myself, Jesus, sent My Messenger to testify these
things to you upon the called-out ones. I Myself am the Root and the Race of
David, the bright morning asteroid.”
17)
Also, the Disposition and the bride are speaking:
“Come,” and let the one who is listening speak: “Come,” and let the one who is
thirsting come. Let the one who is desiring freely receive water of life!
18)
I myself am testifying to everyone who is hearing
the ratios of the prophecy of this document: If a certain one might add over
them, then the Deity will add upon him the plagues which, having been written,
remain written in this document.
19)
And if a certain one might take away from the
ratios away from this document of this prophecy, then the Deity will take away
from his portion of the things which, having been written, remain written in
this document, away from the tree of the life and out from the separate city.
20)
The one who is testifying these things is saying:
“Indeed, I am coming quickly!” Amen! Come, Controller Jesus!
21)
The grace of the Controller Jesus is with all!
