They sent me to the island of Patmos because I had preached the message of God and had spoken about Jesus on the day of the Lord. The spirit took control of me and behind me. I heard a loud voice that sounded like a trumpet the voice said write what you see in a book then send it to the seven churches in ephesus smyrna pergamus thyatira sardis philadelphia and laodicea when I turned to see who was speaking to me I saw seven golden lamps there with the candlesticks with someone who appeared to be the son of man he wore a robe that reached to his feet and a cloth of gold was wrapped around his chest his head and hair were white like wool or snow and his eyes looked like flames of fire his feet They shone like bronze heated in a furnace and his voice sounded like the roar of a waterfall.

He held seven stars in his right hand and from his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face shone as bright as the midday sun. When I saw him, I fell to the ground. his feet like a dead man but he put his right hand on me and said don't be afraid I am the first the last and the living I died but now I am alive forever and I have the keys to death and the world of the dead write what have you seen and what is and what will happen after these things I will explain to you the mystery of the seven stars that you saw on my right and the seven golden lampstands the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the lampstands are the seven churches revelation two this is what you should write to the angel of the church in ephesus i am the one who holds the seven stars in my right hand and i walk among the seven golden lampstands listen to what i say i know everything you have done including your hard work and How have you endured I know that you will not tolerate anyone who is bad when some people pretended to be apostles you put them to the test and discovered that they were liars you have endured and gone through difficult times because of me and you have not given up but I have something against you and that is that You don't have as much love as before.

Think about where you've fallen from and then go back and do what you did first. If you don't come back, I will come and take away your lampstand, but there is one thing you are doing right. You hate what the Nicolaitans are doing. I too, if you have ears, listen to what the spirit says to the churches. I will let all who gain victory eat from the life-giving tree in God's wonderful garden. This is what you should write to the angel of the church in Smyrna. I am the first and the last. I died but now I'm alive.

Listen to what I say. I know how much you suffer and how poor you are, but you are rich. I also know the cruel things people who claim to be Jewish say about you. but in reality you are not Jews, you are a group that belongs to satan, do not worry about what you will suffer, the devil will throw some of you into prison and you will be tested and made to suffer for ten days, but if you are faithful until you die. I will reward you with a glorious life if you have ears listen to what the spirit says to the churches whoever wins the victory will not be hurt by the second death this is what you should write to the angel of the church in Pergamum i I am the one who has the sharp sword of double edge listen to what I say I know that you live where satan has his throne but you have remained faithful to my name right there where satan lives my faithful witness antipas was taken from you and put to death, even then you did not renounce your faith in me.

I have some things against you. Some of you are following Balaam's teachings a long time ago, he told Balak to teach the people of Israel to eat foods that had been offered to idols and to be immoral now some of you are following the teachings of the Nicolaitans go back If you don't, I will come quickly and fight these people and my words will cut like a sword if you have ears listen to what the spirit says to the churches to all who gain victory I will give you some of the hidden food I will also give to each one a white stone with a new name written on it no one will know that name except the one who receives the stone this is what they should write to the angel of the church in Thyatira I am the son of God my eyes are like flames of fire and my feet are like bronze listen to what I say I know everything about you including your love your faith your service and how you have endured I know you are doing more now than you have ever done before but I still have something against you because of that woman Jezebel, she is called a prophet and you let her teach and deceive my servants to do immoral things and eat food offered to idols.

I gave her the opportunity to turn away from her sins but she did not want to stop doing these immoral things. I am going to overthrow Jezebel, all those who do these immoral things with her will also be punished if you do not stop I will even kill your followers then all the churches will see that I know the thoughts and feelings of everyone I will treat each of you as you deserve some of you in thyatira do not follow the teachings Jezebel do not know anything about what their followers called the deep secrets of satan so I will not burden you with any other commandments but until I come you must hold firmly to the teaching you have.

I will give power over the nations to anyone who wins and continues to obey me to the end. give each one the same power that my father has given me they will rule the nations with a rod of iron and destroy those nations like clay pots I will also give them the morning star if you have ears listen to what the spirit tells you the churches revelation 3 this is what you should write to the angel of the church in sardis i have the seven spirits of god and the seven stars listen to what i say i know what you are doing everyone may think you are alive but you are dead wake up, you only have a little bit left strength and it's almost gone, so try to get stronger.

I have discovered that you are not completely obeying God. Remember the teaching they gave you and that you listened to. Hold on to it and turn away from your sins. do not wake up I will come when you least expect it just as a thief does some of you in sardis you have not soiled your clothes with sin you will walk with me dressed in white because you are worthy everyone who obtains the victory will wear white clothes their names will not They will be erased from the book of life and I will tell my father and his angels that they are my followers if you have ears listen to what the spirit says to the churches this is what you should write to the angel of the church in Philadelphia I am the one who is

holy

I would like you to be one or the other, but since you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth. You say you are rich and successful and have everything you need, but you don't know how bad it is. you are pitiful, poor, blind and naked, buy me your gold, it has been refined in the fire and will make you rich, buy me white clothes, wear them and you will be able to cover your shameful nakedness buy medicine for your eyes so that you can see I correct and punish everyone I love, so decide to turn away from your sins listen, I am standing and knocking on your door if you listen to my voice and open the door I will enter and we will eat together all those who obtain the victory will sit with me on my throne just as I I obtained the victory and sat with my father on his throne if you have ears listen to what the spirit says to the revelation of the church 4 after this I looked and saw the door opening to heaven then the voice that had spoken to me at the beginning and it sounded like a trumpet he said come here I will show you what should happen next at that moment the spirit took control of me and there in the sky I saw a throne and someone sitting on it the one who was sitting there shone like precious jasper stones and canelion a rainbow that looked like an emerald surrounded the throne 24 other thrones were in a circle around that throne and on each of these thrones there was an old man dressed in white clothes and with a gold crown.

Lightning and thunder came from the throne in the center of the circle. Seven torches that are the seven spirits of God burned in front of the throne. Also in front of the throne was something that looked like a sea of ​​crystal clear crystal around the throne in the center were four living beings covered in front and behind with eyes the first creature was like a lion the second was like a bull the third had the face of a human and the fourth was like an eagle flying each of the four living beings had six wings and their bodies were covered with eyes day and night they never stopped singing

holy

holy is the lord the almighty god who was and is and comes the living beings continued praising, honoring and thanking him who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever.

At the same time, the 24 elders knelt before him who sat on the throne and while worshiping him who lives forever they placed their crowns in front of the throne and said lord and our god you are worthy of receiving glory honor and power you created all things and by your decision they are and were created revelation 5 in the right hand of him who sits on the throne i I saw a scroll that had writing inside and out and was sealed in seven places. I saw a strong angel asking with a loud voice who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals.

No one in heaven or on earth or below. The earth was able to open the scroll or see inside it. I cried a lot because no one was found worthy of opening the book or seeing inside it. Then one of the elders told me to stop crying and look at the one they both call the lion of the tribe. of judah and the great descendant of king david has obtained the victory he will open the book and its seven seals then i looked and saw the lamb standing in the center of the throne which was surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders the lamb looked as if a Once they had killed him, he had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent to all the earth.

The lamb passed by and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne after having killed him. The four living creatures of the twenty-four elders took it and knelt before it. Each of them had a harp and a golden ball full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people. Then they sang a new song. You are worthy to receive the scroll and open it. the seals because you were killed and with your own blood you bought for god people of all languages ​​you allowed them to become kings and serve god as priests while I watched, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and the voices of the living beings and the elders there were millions and millions of them and they said out loud wisdom strength honor glory and praise then I heard all the beings in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea in praise all together they said praise honor glory and strength forever and ever to him who sits on the throne and to the lamb the four living creatures said all men while the elders knelt and worshiped revelation 6 at the same time that I saw the lamb opened the first of the seven seals I heard one of the four living creatures shout with a voice of thunder said then I saw the white horse its rider carried a bow andThey gave him a crown he had already won some victories and he went out to win more when the lamb opened the second seal I heard the second living beings say then another horse came out, it was fiery red and its rider was given the power to take away all peace from the earth so that people would kill each other.

They also gave him a great sword when the lamb opened the third seal I heard the third living being say then I saw a black horse and its rider had a scale in one hand I heard what sounded like a voice from somewhere among the four living beings said that a liter of wheat will cost you a whole day's wages three quarters of barley will cost you a day's wages too but don't ruin the olive oil or the wine when the lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say then I looked for a pale green horse its rider was called death and the kingdom of death followed behind they were given power over a quarter of the earth and they could kill their people with swords famine diseases and wild animals when the lamb opened the fifth seal I saw under the altar the souls of all those who had been killed for speaking the message of God and speaking about their faith, they shouted teacher, you are holy and faithful, how long will it be before you judge and punish the people of this land who Did they kill us?

Then each of those who had been killed was given a white robe. and they told them to rest for a while they had to wait until the entire number of the other servants and followers of the lord were killed when I saw the lamb open the sixth seal I looked and saw a great earthquake the sun became dark as sackcloth and the moon turned black. turned red like blood the stars of the sky fell to the earth like figs dislodged by a wind storm then the sky was rolled up like a scroll and all the mountains and islands were moved from their places the kings of the earth its famous people and their military leaders hid in caves or behind rocks in the mountains they hid there along with the rich and powerful and with all the slaves and free then they shouted to the mountains on the rocks fall on us hide us from the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb has come that terrible day god and the lamb will show their wrath and who can face it revelation 7 after this I saw four angels each one standing in one of the four corners of the earth the angels holding the four winds receded to that no wind should blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree these angels had also been given the power to harm the earth and the sea then I saw another angel rise from where the sun rises in the east and he was ready to put the mark of the living god on the people, he shouted to the four angels, do not harm the earth or the sea or any tree, wait until he has marked the foreheads of the servants of our god, then I heard how many people had been marked at the ford there were 144,000 and they came from each tribe of Israel twelve thousand from the tribe of Judah twelve thousand from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand from the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand from the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand from the tribe of Joseph, and twelve thousand .

From the tribe of Benjamin after this I looked for a large crowd with more people than could be counted, they were from every race, tribe, nation and language and they were standing before the throne and before the lamb they were wearing white robes and holding branches of palm in their hands as they shouted our god who sits on the throne has the power to save his people and also the lamb the angels who were around the throne knelt in front of him with their faces on the ground the elders and the four living creatures They knelt there with them then they all worshiped god and said amen praise glory wisdom thank you honor power and strength belong to our god forever and ever amen one of the elders asked me do you know who these people are who are dressed in white robes? do you know where they come from?

Sir, I replied, you should know that he told me, these are the ones who have gone through great suffering, they have washed their robes in the blood of the lamb and made them white and that is why they stand before the throne of God and worship him in his temple. day and night he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them they will never hunger or thirst again and they will not be disturbed by the sun or by any scorching heat the lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd he will lead them to streams of life-giving water and god will wipe away all the tears from their eyes revelation 8 when the lamb opened the seventh seal there was silence in heaven for about half an hour i noticed that the seven angels who were before god gave each one a trumpet, another angel who had a golden container for incense came and stood at the altar.

They gave him a lot of incense to offer with the prayers of God's people on the golden altar in front of the throne, then the smoke of the incense along with the prayers of God's people went up to God from the hand of the angel. After this, the angel filled the incense container with fire from the altar and threw it to the ground. ready to blow their trumpets when the first angel blew his trumpet hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown onto the earth one third of the earth one third of the trees and one third of all the green plants were burned when the second angel blew his trumpet something like a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea a third of the sea turned into blood a third of the living creatures in the sea died and a third of the ships were destroyed when the third angel sounded his trumpet a great star It fell from the sky It burned like a torch and it fell on a third of the rivers and on a third of the springs of water The name of the star was bitter and the third of the water became bitter Many people died because the water was so bitter when the The fourth angel blew his trumpet a third of the sun a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck each lost a third of its light so for a third of the day there was no light and a third of the night also without light then I looked and saw a solitary eagle flying through the sky the other three angels were shouting now they are going to blow their trumpets revelation 9 when the fifth angel blew his trumpet I saw a star fall from heaven to earth I was given the key of the tunnel that leads to the deep well when the tunnel was opened the smoke poured out like the smoke of a great furnace the sun and the air became dark because of the smoke the locusts came out of the smoke and covered the earth where they were given the same power that they have the scorpions, the locusts were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, they were to punish only those people who did not have the mark of God on their foreheads, the locusts were allowed to make them suffer for five months but not kill them the suffering they caused was like a scorpion sting in those days people will want to die but they will not be able to wait for death but it will escape them these locusts look like horses ready for battle on their heads they wore something like gold crowns and they had human faces their hair was like a woman's long hair and their teeth were like a lion's on their chests they wore armor made of iron their wings roared like an army of horses horse-drawn chariots rushing into battle their tails were like the tail of a scorpion with a stinger that had the power to hurt someone for five months their king was the angel in charge of the deep well in Hebrew his name was abaddon and in Greek it was apollyon the The first horrible thing has happened now, but wait, two more horrible things will happen soon.

Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a voice speak from the four corners of the golden altar that is in the presence of God. The voice spoke to this angel and said. Release the four angels who are bound by the great Euphrates. The four angels had been prepared for this very hour, day, month and year. Now they were freed to kill a third of all people. Listening, I could see that there were more than 200. Millions of these war horses in my vision, their riders wore fiery red, dark blue, and yellow armor on their chests.

The heads of the horses looked like lions with fire, smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. A third of all people were killed by the three. terrible problems caused by fire, smoke and sulfur the horses had powerful mouths and their tails were like poisonous snakes that bite and hurt the people who experienced these terrible problems they did not turn away from the idols they had made and they did not stop worshiping demons they continued to worship idols that were made of gold silver bronze stone and wood none of these idols could see hear or walk no one stopped murdering or practicing witchcraft or being immortal or stealing revelation 10 I saw another powerful angel descend from heaven this one was covered by a cloud and a rainbow over his head his face was like the sun his legs were like pillars of fire and with his hand he held a small scroll that had been unrolled he stood there with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the earth then he shouted with a voice that sounded like a lion growling the thunder roared seven times after the thunder stopped he was about to write down what he had said but a voice from heaven shouted keep it secret don't write these Things that the angel He had seen standing on the sea and the land, then he raised his right hand towards the sky, he made a promise in the name of God who lives forever and who created the sky, the earth, the sea and every living creature, the angel He said you will.

I do not have to wait any longer God told his secret plans to his servants the prophets and everything will happen when the seventh angel blows his trumpet once again the voice from heaven spoke to me and said to me: go and take the open scroll of the hand. of the angel standing over the sea and the land when I went to ask the angel for the little scroll the angel said take the scroll and eat it your stomach will become bitter but the taste in your mouth will be as sweet as honey I took the little scroll from the The angel gave me a measuring rod and said to me: Measure around the temple of God.

Be sure to include the altar and all who worship there, but do not measure the courtyard outside the temple building. Leave it out. It has been given to those people who do not know God. They will trample the entire holy city for 42 months my two witnesses will dress in sackcloth while I will let them preach for 1260 days these two witnesses are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks that are in the presence of the lord who rules the earth any enemy that tries to harm them will be destroyed by the fire that comes out of their mouths they have the power to close the sky and prevent it from raining while they are prophesying and whenever they want they can turn the water into blood and cause all kinds of terrible problems on the earth after the two witnesses have finished of preaching the message of God, the beast that lives in the deep blow will rise and fight against them, win the battle and kill them, their bodies will be left lying in the streets of the same great city where their lord was nailed to a cross and that city ​​is spiritually like the city of Sodom or the country of Egypt for three and a half days, people of every nation, tribe, language and race will stare at the bodies of these two witnesses. and they refuse to let them be buried, everyone on earth will celebrate and be happy, they will give gifts to each other because of what happened to the two prophets who caused them so much trouble, but three and a half days later, God will breathe life into their bodies, they will wake up. foot and everyone who sees them will be terrified.

The witnesses then heard a great voice from heaven saying come here and while their enemies were watching they were taken to heaven in a cloud. At that same moment there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city. seven thousand people were killed and the rest were frightened and praised the god who rules in heaven the second horrible thing has now happened but the third will be here soon at the sound of the seventh trumpet loud voices were heard in heaven said now the kingdoms of This world belongs to our lord and his chosen one and he will rule forever and ever then the 24 elders who were sitting on thrones in the presence of god knelt down and worshiped him they said lord god almighty you are and were and we thank you that you used your great power and you began to rule when the nations became angry you also became angry now the time has come for the dead to be judged it is time for you to reward your servants the prophets and all of your people who honor your name, no matter who they are , it is time to destroy all those who have destroyed the earth.

Then the door to the temple of God in heaven was opened and the sacred chest could be seen inside the temple. I saw lightning and heard roars of thunder the earth shook and huge hailstones fell to the ground revelation 12 something important appeared in the sky it was a woman whose clothing was the sun the moon was under her feet and a crown made of twelve stars was on her head she was about to give birth and she was crying from the great pain something moreappeared in the sky it was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and a crown on each of its seven heads with its tail it dragged a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the earth then the dragon turned towards the woman because he wanted to eat his son as soon as he was born the woman gave birth to a son who would rule all nations with a rod of iron the child was snatched away he was brought before god and placed on his throne the woman ran into the desert to a place that god had prepared for her there she would be cared for for 1260 days a war broke out in heaven Michael and his angels were fighting against the dragon and his angels but the dragon lost the battle he and his angels were expelled from their places in heaven and were thrown to the earth yes, that old serpent and his angels were thrown out of heaven that serpent that deceives everyone on earth is known as the devil and satan then I heard a voice from heaven shout our god has shown his saving power and his kingdom has God's own chosen one has arrived and has shown his authority.

Satan accused our people in the presence of God day and night. Now our people have been expelled. They defeated Satan by the blood of the lamb and the message of God. They were willing to give up their lives. The heavens must. rejoice together with all those who live there but pity the land and the sea because the devil was thrown to the earth, he knows that he has little time left and he gets very angry when the dragon realized that he had been thrown to the earth, he tried to cause problems to the woman who had given birth to a son but the woman was given two wings like those of a huge eagle so that she could fly to the desert there she would escape from the serpent and would be cared for for a time two and a half times the The snake then spit out water like a river to sweep the woman away but the earth helped her and swallowed the water that had come out of the dragon's mouth.

This made the dragon terribly angry with the woman so she started a war against the rest of her children. They are the people who obey God and are faithful to what Jesus did and taught. The dragon stood on the beach by the sea. Revelation 13 I looked and saw the beast rising from the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, and a crown was on each of its ten horns on each of its heads were names that were an insult to god the beast that I saw had the body of a leopard feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion the dragon gave his own power and throne with great authority to this beast one His heads looked like they had been mortally wounded, but he was fine now.

Everyone on earth marveled at this beast and worshiped the dragon who had given authority over him to the beast. They also worshiped the beast and said that no one is like this beast that no one can fight. the beast was allowed to boast and claim to be god and for 42 months the beast was allowed to rule, he cursed god and cursed the name of god, he even cursed the place where god lives as well as everyone who lives in the heaven with god He was allowed to fight against God's people and defeat them He was also given authority over the people of every tribe nation language and race The beast was worshiped by all whose name was not written before the time of creation in the book of the lamb which was killed if you have ears then listen if you are condemned to be captured you will be captured if you are condemned to be killed by a sword you will be killed by a sword this means that God's people must learn to endure and be faithful, now I saw another beast this one came out of the earth had two horns like a lamb but spoke like a dragon he worked for the beast whose fatal wound had been healed and used all his authority to force the earth and all its people to worship that beast He worked powerful miracles and while the people looked, he even made fire come down from heaven.

This second beast deceived the people on earth by performing miracles for the first and then convinced them to make an idol in the form of the beasts that did not die afterwards. being wounded by a sword he was allowed to put breath on the idol so that it could speak anyone who refused to worship the idol of the beast was executed all people were forced to put a mark on their right hand or for that reason if they were powerful or weak, rich or poor, free or slave, everyone had to have this mark or else they could not buy or sell anything.

This mark represented the name of the beast and the number of its name. It takes wisdom to understand the number. of the beast, but if you're smart enough you can figure this out. Its number is 666 and it represents a person. Revelation 14. I looked and saw the lamb standing on Mount Zion with the 144,000 who had his name and his father's name written on it. on their foreheads then I heard a sound from heaven that was like a roaring flood or loud thunder or even like hop music and a new song was sung in front of the throne of god and in front of the four living creatures and the elders not one could learn that song, except the 144,000 who had been rescued from the earth, all of them are pure virgins and follow the lamb wherever it leads, they have been rescued to be presented to god and the lamb as the most precious people on earth . never tell lies and they are innocent I saw another angel, this one was flying through the sky and had the eternal good news to announce to the people of every race, tribe, language and nation on earth, the angels shouted to worship and honor God, ha The time has come for him to judge everyone kneels before him who created heaven and earth the oceans and every stream a second angel followed and said the great city of babylon has fallen this is the city that made all nations drunk and immoral now god is angry and babylon has fallen finally a third angel came and shouted here is what will happen if you worship the beast and the idol and you have the mark of the beast on your hand or forehead you will have to drink the wine that god gives to everything whoever makes you angry you will feel his powerful wrath and you will be tortured with fire and burning sulfur while the holy angels and the lamb watch if you worship the beast and the idol and accept the mark of his name you will be tortured day and night the smoke of your torture will increase forever and ever and you will never be able to rest God's people must learn to endure they must also obey his commandments and have faith in Jesus then I heard a voice from heaven saying: put this in writing from now on the Lord bless to all who have faith in him when they die the spirit answered if they will rest from their hard work and will be rewarded for what they have done they looked and saw a bright cloud and someone who seemed to be the son of man was sitting on the cloud carrying a golden crown on his head and he held a sharp sickle in his hand an angel came out of the temple and shouted start cutting with your sickle the harvest season is here and all the crops on earth are ripe he who was in the clouds swung his sickle and harvested the crops another angel with a sharp sickle then left the temple after this an angel with power over fire came from the altar and shouted to the angel who had the sickle he said all the grapes on the earth are ripe, harvest them With your sharp sickle the angel brandished his sickle on the earth and cut his grapes and threw them into a hole where they were trampled as a sign of God's wrath.

The hole was outside the city and when the grapes were crushed the blood flowed. became a river that was about 200 miles long and almost deep enough to cover a horse revelation 15 after this I looked up into the sky and saw something else that was strange and important seven angels were bringing the last seven terrible troubles when they will end god will not do it I was no longer angry then I saw something that looked like a sea of ​​glass mixed with fire and people were standing on it they were the ones who had defeated the beast on the idol in the number that says the name of the beast god He had given them harps and they sang the song that his servant Moses had sung and the lamb sang Lord Almighty God you have done great and wonderful things you are the ruler of all nations and you do what is right and just Lord who does not command or praise your name you will bear our holy and all nations will come and worship you because you have shown that you judge righteously after this I noticed something else in heaven the sacred tent used for the temple was open and the seven angels who brought the terrible things came out of there trouble were dressed in robes of pure white linen and they wore belts made of pure gold one of the four living creatures gave each of the seven angels a bowl made of gold these bowls were filled with the wrath of the god who lives forever and ever the temple It quickly filled with smoke from the glory and the power of God.

No one could enter until the seven angels finished pouring out the last seven problems. Revelation 16 From the temple I heard a voice shout to the seven angels to leave and empty the seven bowls. of the wrath of God on the earth the first angel emptied his bowl on the earth immediately ugly and painful sores broke out on all those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped the idol the second angel emptied his bowl on the sea immediately the sea It turned into blood like that of a dead man and every living thing in the sea died.

The third angel emptied his cup into the rivers and streams. They immediately turned into blood. Then I heard the angel who has power over water say, "You have always been." and you will always be the holy god who had the right to judge in this way they shed the blood of your people and your prophets so you gave them blood to drink as they deserve after this I heard the altar shout yes lord god all - powerful your judgments They are honest and just the fourth angel emptied his cup on the sun and began to burn the people like fire everyone was burned by its great heat and everyone cursed the name of god who had power over these terrible problems but not one turned to god and the fifth angel praised him and emptied his cup on the throne of the beast.

Immediately darkness covered his kingdom and his people began to bite their tongues in pain and for their painful wounds they cursed the god who rules in heaven but still they did not let him. of doing bad things the sixth angel emptied his bowl on the great river Euphrates and it dried up completely to make a way for the kings of the east an evil spirit that looked like a frog came out of the dragon's mouth one also came out of the mouth of the beast and another from the mouth of the false prophet these evil spirits had the power to perform miracles they went to each king of the earth to gather them for a war against the almighty god but that be the day of the great victory of god remember what Christ says when I come I will surprise you like a thief but God will bless you if you are awake and ready then you will not have to walk around naked and ashamed those armies gathered in a place that in Hebrew is called armageddon as soon as the seventh angel emptied his bowl into the air a loud voice from the throne in the temple shouted there were lightning roars of thunder and the worst earthquake in all history the great city of babylon broke into three parts and the cities of other nations fell then god made babylon drink of the cup of wine that was full of his wrath every island fled and the mountains disappeared hailstones weighing about a hundred pounds each fell from the sky on the people finally the people cursed god because the hail was such a terrible revelation 17 one of the seven Angels who had emptied the cups came to me and said come on, I will show you how God will punish that shameless and immoral woman who sits in many oceans that every king on earth has.

I slept with her in her shameless ways are like the wine that has drunk everyone on earth with the help of the spirit the angel took me to the desert where I saw a woman sitting on a red beast the beast was covered in names that were an insult to god and had seven heads and ten horns the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet robes and wore gold jewelry, precious stones and pearls in her hands she held a golden cup full of the unclean and unpleasant things that she had done to her forehead A mysterious name was written on it.

I am the great city of Babylon, the mother of all immoral and unclean things on earth. I realized that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's people who had given their lives for Jesus. This surprising sight amazed me. and the angel said why are you so amazed I will explain to you the mystery of this woman and the beast on which she sits with its seven heads and ten horns the beast that you saw is one that was and is no longer, it will return from the deep abyss but only to be destroyed all who are on earth whose names were not written in the book of life before the time of creation will be amazed they will see this beast that used to be and is no longer but will be once again anyone with wisdom can understand this the seven heads on which the woman is sitting represent seven hills these heads are also seven kings five of the kings are dead one is ruling now and the other has not yet come, but when he does, he will rule only for a short time you also saw a beast that was and is no longer that beast is one of the seven kings that will return as the eighth king but only to be destroyed the ten horns that you saw are ten more kings that have not yet will come to power and rule with the beast For just a short time everyone thinks alike and will give their power and authority to thebeast these kings will go to war against the lamb but he will defeat them because he is lord over all lords and king over all kings his followers are chosen and special and faithful the oceans in which he sees the immoral woman sitting are multitudes of people of all races and languages ​​the ten horns and the beast will begin to hate the shameless woman they will take off her clothes and leave her naked then they will eat her flesh and throw the rest of her body into a fire god is the one who made her All these kings will think alike and decide to give their power to the beast and they will do so until God has said it comes true.

The woman you saw is the great city that governs all the kings of the earth. Revelation 18 I saw another angel coming from heaven. He had great power and the earth shone because of his glory. The angels cried out. Mighty Babylon has fallen and is now the home of demons. It is the death of every unclean spirit and every unclean bird and every dirty and hated animal. The bad and immoral wine of Babylon has drunken all the nations, every king of the earth has slept with her and every merchant of the earth is rich because of her evil desires then I heard another voice from heaven cry out my people you must escape from Babylonian participate in her sins and share her punishment her sins accumulate until heaven God has remembered the evil she has done treat her as she has treated others make her pay double for what she has done make her drink twice as much as she mixed for the Furthermore, that woman honored herself with a life of luxury, reward her now with suffering and pain in the depths of her heart, Babylon said, I am the queen, I will never be a widow nor will I know what it means to be sad, and so in a single day she will suffer the pain of pain. , hunger and death, the fire will destroy her corpse because her judge is the powerful Lord God, all the kings of the earth who slept with her and shared her luxury will lament, they will cry when they see the smoke of that fire, their sufferings will scare them. and they will stand at a distance and say pity for that great and powerful city.

Pity Babylon. In a single hour its judgment has come. All the merchants of the earth will lament because there is no one to buy their goods there. No one will buy your jewelry made of gold, silver, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, sweet-smelling wood, luxurious carvings of ivory and wood, as well as things made of bronze, iron or marble, no one will buy your cinnamon, spices , frankincense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine. flour wheat cattle sheep horses chariots slaves and other humans babylon the things your heart desired have escaped from you every luxury and all your glory will be lost forever you will never get it back the merchants had become rich thanks to it but when they saw it suffering they were terrified They stood at a distance weeping and lamenting then they cried out for compassion the great city of Babylon she was dressed in fine linen and clothed in purple and scarlet cloth she had gold jewelry and precious stones and pearls but in a single hour her riches All the ship captains disappeared, passengers and sailors, stood at a distance along with all those who do business traveling by sea, when they saw the smoke of their fire, they shouted that this was the greatest city that ever existed, they cried loudly and in their pain they threw dust on Their heads, as they said, the great city of Babylon, all those who sailed the seas became rich with its treasures, but in a single hour the city was destroyed.

The heavens should be happy with the people of God and the apostles and prophets. God has punished it for them. A powerful angel then took a huge stone and threw it into the sea. The angel said this is how the great city of Babylon will be torn down, never to rise again. The music of harps and singers and flutes and trumpets will no longer be heard by any worker. a tent was set up in that city and the sound of ground grain will be silenced forever the lamps will no longer shine anywhere in Babylon and couples will never again take marriage vows there its merchants ruled the earth and with their witchcraft deceived all nations In the streets of Babylon is the blood of God's people and of his prophets and of all the other revelation 19 After this I heard what sounded like many voices in heaven and they shouted praises the Lord to our God belongs a glorious power to save because her judgments are honest and fair that filthy and immoral woman ruined the earth with shameful acts but God has judged her and made her pay the price for murdering her servants and the crowd shouted praises to the lord the smoke will never stop coming out of his burning body after this the 24 elders and the four living creatures knelt before the throne of god and worshiped him they said amen, praise the lord from the throne the voice said if you worship and fear our god praise him no matter who you are then i heard what seemed to be a large crowd that sounded like a roaring flood and loud thunder all mixed together saying praise our lord god almighty now he rules as king so we will be glad and happy and we will praise him the wedding day of the lamb is here and his bride is ready they will give her a wedding dress made of pure and shiny linen this linen represents the good things that the people of God have done and the angel told me put this in writing God will bless all who are invited to the party wedding of the lamb the angel also said these things that god has said are true i knelt at the feet of the angel and began to worship him but the angel said don't do that i am a servant like you and all those who talk about jesus don't worship no one but God.

Everyone who speaks about Jesus does so by the power of the spirit. I looked and saw that the sky was open and there was a white horse. His rider was called faithful and true and is always fair when he judges or goes. For war he had eyes like flames of fire and wore many crowns. His name was written on it, but he was the only one who knew what the name meant. The rider wore a tunic covered in blood and was known as. The word of God was followed by armies of heaven who rode on horses and were dressed in pure white linen.

From his mouth came a sharp sword to attack the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron and show the fierce wrath of Almighty God by trampling on the nations. grapes in the hole where wine is made on the part of the cloak that covered his thigh it was written king of kings and lord of lords then I saw an angel standing over the sun and shouted to all the birds flying in the sky come and join the great banquet of god you can eat the meat of kings rulers leaders horses riders free people slaves important people and everyone else I also saw the beast and all the kings of the earth unite they fought against the rider on the white horse and against his army but the beast was captured and also the false prophet this is the same prophet who had performed miracles for the beast in order to deceive all those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped the idol the beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into a lake of burning sulfur but the rest of his army was killed by the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse then the birds gorged themselves on the corpses revelation 20 I saw an angel descend from heaven carrying the key to the deep well and a great chain, He chained the dragon for a thousand years.

It is that old serpent that was also known as the devil and satan. Then the angel threw the dragon into the pit, closed it and sealed it so that a thousand years would pass before the dragon could deceive the nations again, but after that he would have to be freed for a time. I saw thrones and sitting on those thrones were those who had received the right to judge. I also saw the souls of the people whose heads were cut off because they had spoken of Jesus and preached the message of God, they were the same ones who had not worshiped the beast or the idol and had refused to let the mark be put on them. the hands or by their they will come to life and rule with Christ for a thousand years these people are the first to be resurrected and are especially blessed and holy the second death has no power over them they will be priests to God and Christ and will rule with them for thousands of years no other dead was resurrected until a thousand years later at the end of the thousands of years satan will be released he will deceive the countries of gog and magog which are the ends of the earth and his people will follow him into battle they will have as many followers as grains of sand there are along the beach and they will march throughout the land they will surround the camp of God's people and the city that his people love but fire will come down from heaven and destroy the entire army, then the devil who deceived them will be thrown into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, he will be there with the beast and the false prophet and they will suffer pain day and night forever and ever. a large white throne with someone sitting on it, the earth and sky tried to flee but there was nowhere to go.

I also saw all the dead standing in front of that throne, every one of them was there, no matter who they had once been. past several books were opened and then the book of life was opened the dead were judged by what those books said they had done the sea handed over the dead that were in it and death in its kingdom also handed over its dead and all They were judged for what they had done after death and their kingdom they were thrown into the lake of fire this is the second death anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire revelation 21 I saw a new heaven and a new heaven the earth the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared and also the sea then I saw the new Jerusalem that holy city descending from God in heaven was like a bride dressed in her wedding dress and ready to meet her husband I heard a loud voice shouts from the throne the home of god is now with his people he will live with them and they will be his yes god will make his home among his people he will wipe away all the tears from their eyes and there will be no more death suffering crying or pain these things of the past will be they are gone forever then he who sits on the throne said I am making everything new write what I have said my words are true and can be trusted everything is finished I am alpha and omega the beginning and the end I will do Give freely water from the fountain life-giving to all who thirst.

All who are victorious will receive these blessings. I will be their god and they will be my people, but I will tell you what will happen to the cowards and to everyone who is thirsty. unfaithful or dirty-minded or who murders or is sexually immoral or uses witchcraft or worships idols or tells lies will be thrown into that lake of fire and burning sulfur this is the second death I saw one of the seven angels whose balls were full With the last seven terrible problems, the angel came to me and said, come on, I will show you who will be the bride and wife of the lamb and then with the help of the spirit he took me to the top of a very high mountain.

There he showed me the holy city of Jerusalem descending from God in heaven the glory of God made it shine the city was dazzling and crystal clear like a precious stone by Gasper the city had a high and thick wall with 12 gates and each of them was guarded by an angel on each of the gates was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel three of these gates were to the east three were to the north three more were to the south and the other three were to the west the the city was built on twelve foundations, on each of the stones was written the name of one of the lambs the twelve apostles the angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and its wall the city was shaped like a cube because It was as tall as it was wide when the angel measured the city it was approximately 1500 miles high and 1500 miles wide then the angel measured the wall and according to our measurements it was approximately 216 feet high the wall was built of jasper and the city was made of pure gold clarified as crystal each of the twelve foundations was a precious stone the first was jasper the second was sapphire the third was agate the fourth was emerald the fifth was onyx the sixth was Canadian the seventh was chrysolite the eighth was beryl the ninth was topaz the tenth was crystal praise the eleventh was j synth and the twelfth was amethyst each of the twelve gates was a solid pearl the streets of the city were made of pure gold clear as crystal i did not see a temple there lord god almighty and the lamb was its temple and the city did not need sun or moon the glory of god shone upon it and the lamb was its light the nations will walk in the light of that city and the kings will bring their riches there its doors are always open during the day and the night never comes the glorious treasures of the nations will be brought into the city but nothing unworthy will be allowed in no one who is dirty minded or who tells lies will be there only those whose names are written in the lamb's book of life will be in the city ​​revelation 22 the angel showed me a river that was crystal clear and its waters gave life the river came out of the throne where god and the lamb were sitting then flowed through the middle of The main street of the city on each side of the river there are trees that produce a different type of fruit every month of the year.

The fruit gives life and the leaves are used as medicine to heal nations. The curse of God will no longer be on those people. city ​​he and the lamb will sit there on their thrones and his people will worship god and see himface to face the name of god will be written on the forehead of the people the night will never appear again and no one who lives there will need a lamp or the sun the lord god will be their light and they will rule forever then they told me that these words are true and The Lord God can be trusted to control the spirits of his prophets and he is the one who sent his angel to show his servants what must happen immediately.

Remember that I will come soon. God will bless all who pay attention to what this book tells. about the future my name is john and I am the one who heard and saw these things after having heard and seen all this I knelt down and began to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me but the angel told me don't do that I am a servant like you I am the same as a follower or a prophet or any other person who obeys what is written in this book god is the one you should worship do not keep the prophecies of this book a secret these things will happen soon evil people will continue to be evil and everyone who has a dirty mind will continue to be so but good people will continue to do the right thing and the people of god will always be holy so they told me that I will come soon and when I arrive I will reward everyone for what they have done I am the alpha and omega the first and the last the beginning and the end god will bless all those who have washed their robes each one will have the right to eat the fruit of the tree that gives life and they will be able to enter through the gates of the city but outside the city there will be dogs witches immoral people murderers idolaters and everyone who loves to tell lies and do evil.
