1 Olhei, e eis o Cordeiro em pé sobre o monte Sião, e com ele cento e quarenta e quatro mil, tendo na fronte escrito o seu nome e o nome de seu Pai. 2 Ouvi uma voz do céu como voz de muitas águas, como voz de grande trovão; também a voz que ouvi era como de harpistas quando tangem a sua harpa. 3 Entoavam novo cântico diante do trono, diante dos quatro seres viventes e dos anciãos. E ninguém pôde aprender o cântico, senão os cento e quarenta e quatro mil que foram comprados da terra. 4 São estes os que não se macularam com mulheres, porque são castos. São eles os seguidores do Cordeiro por onde quer que vá. São os que foram redimidos dentre os homens, primícias para Deus e para o Cordeiro; 5 e não se achou mentira na sua boca; não têm mácula.

6 Vi outro anjo voando pelo meio do céu, tendo um evangelho eterno para pregar aos que se assentam sobre a terra, e a cada nação, e tribo, e língua, e povo, 7 dizendo, em grande voz: Temei a Deus e dai-lhe glória, pois é chegada a hora do seu juízo; e adorai aquele que fez o céu, e a terra, e o mar, e as fontes das águas.

8 Seguiu-se outro anjo, o segundo, dizendo: Caiu, caiu a grande Babilônia que tem dado a beber a todas as nações do vinho da fúria da sua prostituição.

9 Seguiu-se a estes outro anjo, o terceiro, dizendo, em grande voz: Se alguém adora a besta e a sua imagem e recebe a sua marca na fronte ou sobre a mão, 10 também esse beberá do vinho da cólera de Deus, preparado, sem mistura, do cálice da sua ira, e será atormentado com fogo e enxofre, diante dos santos anjos e na presença do Cordeiro. 11 A fumaça do seu tormento sobe pelos séculos dos séculos, e não têm descanso algum, nem de dia nem de noite, os adoradores da besta e da sua imagem e quem quer que receba a marca do seu nome. 12 Aqui está a perseverança dos santos, os que guardam os mandamentos de Deus e a fé em Jesus.

13 Então, ouvi uma voz do céu, dizendo: Escreve: Bem-aventurados os mortos que, desde agora, morrem no Senhor. Sim, diz o Espírito, para que descansem das suas fadigas, pois as suas obras os acompanham.

14 Olhei, e eis uma nuvem branca, e sentado sobre a nuvem um semelhante a filho de homem, tendo na cabeça uma coroa de ouro e na mão uma foice afiada. 15 Outro anjo saiu do santuário, gritando em grande voz para aquele que se achava sentado sobre a nuvem: Toma a tua foice e ceifa, pois chegou a hora de ceifar, visto que a seara da terra já amadureceu! 16 E aquele que estava sentado sobre a nuvem passou a sua foice sobre a terra, e a terra foi ceifada.

17 Então, saiu do santuário, que se encontra no céu, outro anjo, tendo ele mesmo também uma foice afiada. 18 Saiu ainda do altar outro anjo, aquele que tem autoridade sobre o fogo, e falou em grande voz ao que tinha a foice afiada, dizendo: Toma a tua foice afiada e ajunta os cachos da videira da terra, porquanto as suas uvas estão amadurecidas! 19 Então, o anjo passou a sua foice na terra, e vindimou a videira da terra, e lançou-a no grande lagar da cólera de Deus. 20 E o lagar foi pisado fora da cidade, e correu sangue do lagar até aos freios dos cavalos, numa extensão de mil e seiscentos estádios.

1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, even they that had been purchased out of the earth. 4 These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish.

6 And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 7 and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.

8 And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.

14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud I saw one sitting like unto a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a great voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle, and reap: for the hour to reap is come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, he that hath power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress, of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even unto the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

1 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.

2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.

3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.

5 No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth —to every nation, tribe, language and people.

7 He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water."

8 A second angel followed and said, "'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,' "which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries."

9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand,

10 they, too, will drink the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.

11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name."

12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man "with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

15 Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."

16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.

18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's vine, because its grapes are ripe."

19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's wrath.

20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia. [^3]
