1 Ma vaatasin: ennäe, Tall seisis Siioni mäel ja koos temaga need sada nelikümmend neli tuhat, kelle otsaesisele oli kirjutatud Talle nimi ja tema Isa nimi. 2 Ja ma kuulsin häält taevast, mis oli otsekui suurte vete kohin ja võimsa kõue hääl; see kõlas, nagu oleksid kandlemängijad oma pille mänginud. 3 Nad laulsid uut laulu trooni ees ning nelja olevuse ja vanemate ees. Seda laulu ei suutnud õppida keegi muu peale saja neljakümne nelja tuhande, kes olid lunastatud maa pealt. 4 Need on need, kes ei ole endid rüvetanud naistega, nad on puhtad nagu neitsid. Nad järgnevad Tallele kõikjal, kuhu ta läheb. Nemad on inimeste seast lunastatud pühitsetud anniks Jumalale ja Tallele. 5 Nende suust ei ole iial kuuldud valet – nad on laitmatud.

6 Ma nägin veel üht inglit kesktaevas lendamas. Tal oli igavene evangeelium, mida kuulutada maa elanikele, igale hõimule, suguharule, keelele ja rahvale. 7 Ta hüüdis valju häälega: „Kartke Jumalat ning ülistage teda, sest tema kohtumõistmise tund on käes! Kummardage teda, kes on teinud taeva ja maa, mere ja vete allikad!"

8 Talle järgnes teine ingel, kes ütles: „Langenud! Langenud on suur Paabel, kes joovastas kõiki rahvaid oma abielurikkumise hullustava veiniga!"

9 Nende järel tuli kolmas ingel, kes hüüdis valju häälega: „Kui keegi kummardab metsalist ja tema kuju ning võtab vastu tema märgi oma otsaette või oma käe peale, 10 siis ta saab samuti juua Jumala raevu veini, mis on lahjendamatult valatud ta vihakarikasse. Teda vaevatakse väävli ja tulega pühade inglite ja Talle ees. 11 Nende piinade suits tõuseb üles igavesest ajast igavesti ega ole mingit leevendust päeval ega ööl neil, kes kummardavad metsalist ja tema kuju, ega neil, kes võtavad vastu ta nime märgi."

12 Siin olgu kannatlikkust Jumala pühadel, kes peavad tema käske ja jäävad Jeesusele ustavaks!

13 Ja ma kuulsin häält, mis ütles taevast: „Pane kirja: „Õndsad on surnud, kes nüüdsest peale surevad Issandas!" "

„Jah," ütleb Vaim, „nad puhaku oma töövaevast, sest nende teod järgnevad neile."

14 Ma vaatasin: ennäe, valge pilv, ning sellel istus keegi Inimese Poja sarnane. Tal oli kuldpärg peas ja terav sirp käes. 15 Ja üks teine ingel väljus templist ja hüüdis pilve peal istujale valju häälega: „Siruta oma sirp ja lõika, sest lõikusaeg on käes ja maa viljasaak on valmis!" 16 Ja see, kes istus pilve peal, lõi sirbiga üle maa ning see lõigati paljaks.

17 Veel üks ingel väljus taevasest templist ja temalgi oli käes terav sirp. 18 Ja veel üks ingel väljus altarist, kellel oli võim tule üle. Ta hüüdis valju häälega sellele, kellel oli terav sirp: „Siruta oma terav sirp ja kogu kokku marjakobarad maailma viinapuust, sest selle viinamarjad on küpsed!" 19 Ja ingel lõi sirbiga üle maa, lõikas viinapuult marjakobarad ning heitis need Jumala viha suurde surutõrde. 20 Surutõrt vajutati väljaspool linna ning verd voolas kuni hobuste valjasteni tuhande kuuesaja staadioni*14:20 Umbes 300 kilomeetrit. Kuid ilmselt on tegu sümboolse arvuga, mis näitab, et kohtumõistmine hõlmas kogu maailma. ulatuses ümberkaudu.

1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in 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 I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; 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 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.
