Revelation

1I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

2I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.

3They sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

4These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

5In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

6I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

7He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”

8Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.”

9Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

10he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

11The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

12Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”

13I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them.”

14I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!”

16He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.

18Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!”

19The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God.

20The wine press was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out of the wine press, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.

十四万四千人的歌

1我又观看，见羔羊站在锡安山，同他又有十四万四千人，都有他的名和他父的名写在额上。

2我听见从天上有声音，像众水的声音和大雷的声音，并且我所听见的好像弹琴的所弹的琴声。

3他们在宝座前，并在四活物和众长老前唱歌，仿佛是新歌；除了从地上买来的那十四万四千人以外，没有人能学这歌。

4这些人未曾沾染妇女，他们原是童身。羔羊无论往哪里去，他们都跟随他。他们是从人间买来的，作初熟的果子归与 神和羔羊。

5在他们口中察不出谎言来；他们是没有瑕疵的。

三位天使的信息

6我又看见另有一位天使飞在空中，有永远的福音要传给住在地上的人，就是各国、各族、各方、各民。

7他大声说：「应当敬畏 神，将荣耀归给他！因他施行审判的时候已经到了。应当敬拜那创造天地海和众水泉源的。」

8又有第二位天使接着说：「叫万民喝邪淫、大怒之酒的巴比伦大城倾倒了！倾倒了！」

9又有第三位天使接着他们，大声说：「若有人拜兽和兽像，在额上或在手上受了印记，

10这人也必喝 神大怒的酒；此酒斟在 神忿怒的杯中纯一不杂。他要在圣天使和羔羊面前，在火与硫磺之中受痛苦。

11他受痛苦的烟往上冒，直到永永远远。那些拜兽和兽像，受它名之印记的，昼夜不得安宁。」

12圣徒的忍耐就在此；他们是守 神诫命和耶稣真道的。

13我听见从天上有声音说：「你要写下：从今以后，在主里面而死的人有福了！」圣灵说：「是的，他们息了自己的劳苦，做工的果效也随着他们。」

地上的收割

14我又观看，见有一片白云，云上坐着一位好像人子，头上戴着金冠冕，手里拿着快镰刀。

15又有一位天使从殿中出来，向那坐在云上的大声喊着说：「伸出你的镰刀来收割；因为收割的时候已经到了，地上的庄稼已经熟透了。」

16那坐在云上的，就把镰刀扔在地上，地上的庄稼就被收割了。

17又有一位天使从天上的殿中出来，他也拿着快镰刀。

18又有一位天使从祭坛中出来，是有权柄管火的，向拿着快镰刀的大声喊着说：「伸出快镰刀来，收取地上葡萄树的果子，因为葡萄熟透了！」

19那天使就把镰刀扔在地上，收取了地上的葡萄，丢在 神忿怒的大酒榨中。

20那酒榨踹在城外，就有血从酒榨里流出来，高到马的嚼环，远有六百里。
