torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast
and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12
Here is the patience of the saints:
here
are
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13
And I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed
are
the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14
And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud
one
sat like unto the Son of man,
having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15
And another angel came out
of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap:
for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16
And he that sat on the
cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17
And another angel came out of
the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18
And another angel came out from
the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle,
saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes
are fully ripe.
19
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth,
and cast
it
into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20
And the winepress was trodden without
the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand
and
six hundred furlongs.
CHAPTER 15
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues;
for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire:
and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark,
and
over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3
And they sing
the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous
are
thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true
are
thy ways, thou King of saints.
4
Who shall not
fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for
thou
only
art
holy: for all nations shall come and
worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
5
And after that I looked, and, behold,
the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6
And the seven angels came
out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts
girded with golden girdles.
7
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden
vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
8
And the temple was filled with smoke
from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the
seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
