Bible in 90 Days

¹ Jude^[a], a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to the called ones having been loved by^[b] God the Father and kept^[c] by^[d] Jesus Christ: ² May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

Beloved, Fight For The Faith Against Those Seeking To Change Grace Into License

³ Beloved, while making every effort to be writing to you concerning our common salvation, I had the necessity to write to you exhorting you to be contending^[e] for the faith having been delivered once-for-all to the saints. ⁴ For certain persons sneaked-in^[f]— the ones formerly^[g] having been portrayed^[h] for this judgment, ungodly ones— changing^[i] the grace of our God into sensuality and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Remember: The Lord Punished The Unbelieving And The Immoral

⁵ Now I want to remind you— you knowing^[j] all things— that the Lord^[k], having once^[l] saved^[m] the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed the ones not having believed. ⁶ And He has kept^[n] angels— the ones not having kept their own domain^[o], but having left-behind^[p] their own dwelling^[q]— in eternal bonds^[r] under gloom for the judgment of the great day. ⁷ Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in like manner to these^[s]— having indulged-in-sexual-immorality and gone after other flesh— are set-forth as an example, undergoing the penalty^[t] of eternal fire.

Yet These People Defile The Flesh And Reject God’s Authority. Woe To Them

⁸ Yet in the same way also these dreaming ones are defiling the flesh and rejecting authority^[u] and blaspheming^[v] glories^[w]! ⁹ Now Michael the archangel^[x], when he was speaking concerning the body of Moses while disputing with the devil, did not dare to bring^[y] a judgment of blasphemy, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you”. ¹⁰ But these ones— whatever things they do not understand, they blaspheme; and whatever things they know instinctually like unreasoning animals, by these they are being destroyed. ¹¹ Woe to them, because they went in the way of Cain, and they poured-forth^[z] in the error of Balaam for wages, and they perished^[aa] in the rebellion of Korah.

Enoch Prophesied God Would Execute Judgment Against These Ungodly Stains

¹² These ones are the ones who are spots^[ab] in your love-feasts, feasting-with^[ac] you fearlessly, tending^[ad] themselves; waterless clouds being carried-along by winds; fruitless autumn trees having died twice, having been uprooted; ¹³ wild waves of the sea foaming-up their shames; wandering stars for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved forever. ¹⁴ But indeed Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied with regard to these ones, saying, “Behold— the Lord came with His holy myriads ¹⁵ to execute judgment against all, and to convict every soul concerning all their works of ^[ae] ungodliness which they did-godlessly, and concerning all the harsh things which ungodly sinners spoke against Him”.

Remember That The Apostles Prophesied of These Mockers Pursuing Their Ungodly Desires

¹⁶ These ones are grumblers^[af], faultfinders, proceeding in accordance with their own desires. And their mouth speaks pompous words, marveling-at^[ag] faces for the sake of advantage. ¹⁷ But you, beloved, remember the words having been spoken-beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ— ¹⁸ that they were saying to you that “In the last time there will be mockers proceeding in accordance with their own desires of ^[ah] ungodliness”.

But You, Beloved, Keep Yourselves In The Love of God

¹⁹ These ones are the ones causing-divisions^[ai]— natural ones, not having the Spirit. ²⁰ But you, beloved, while building-up yourselves on^[aj] your most holy faith, while praying in^[ak] the Holy Spirit, ²¹ keep yourselves in the love of God while waiting-for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life. ²² And be having-mercy-on^[al] some doubting^[am] ones. ²³ And be saving^[an] others, snatching them out of the fire. And be having-mercy-on others with fear while hating even the tunic^[ao] having been stained by the flesh.

²⁴ Now to the One being able to keep^[ap] you from-stumbling^[aq] and to make you stand in the presence of His glory without-blemish with gladness^[ar], ²⁵ to the only God our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before^[as] every age, and now, and for^[at] all ages, amen.

1 The revelation^[au] of ^[av] Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His slaves the things which must take-place quickly, and He signified^[aw], having sent-forth through His angel to His slave John, ² who testified-to the word of God and^[ax] the testimony of Jesus Christ— to all that he saw. ³ Blessed is the one reading^[ay], and the ones hearing the words of this prophecy and keeping the things having been written in it, for the time is near.

⁴ John, to the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from the One Who is and Who was and Who is coming, and from the seven Spirits^[az] that are before His throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ— the Faithful Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth.

To the One loving us and having released^[ba] us from our sins by His blood— ⁶ and He made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father— to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever, amen. ⁷ Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him— even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth^[bb] will beat-their-breasts over Him. Yes! Amen!

⁸ “I am the Alpha and the Omega”, says the Lord God, “the One Who is and Who was and Who is coming, the Almighty”.

I, John, Heard a Voice Say, Write What You See And Send It To The Seven Churches

⁹ I, John, your brother and co-partner in the affliction and kingdom and endurance in^[bc] Jesus, came-to-be on the island being called Patmos because of the word of God and^[bd] the testimony of Jesus. ¹⁰ I came-to-be in the Spirit^[be] on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like [the sound] of a trumpet, ¹¹ saying “Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches— to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea”. ¹² And I turned to see the voice which was speaking with me.

I Saw One Like a Son of Man Amidst Seven Lampstands, Which Are Seven Churches

And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands. ¹³ And in the midst of the lampstands I saw One resembling^[bf] a son^[bg] of man having been dressed-in a robe reaching-to-the-feet, and having been girded-with a golden belt at the breasts. ¹⁴ And His head and hair were white like white wool, like snow. And His eyes were like a flame of fire. ¹⁵ And His feet were resembling brass^[bh], like something having been refined^[bi] in a furnace. And His voice was like the sound of many waters. ¹⁶ And He was holding seven stars in His right hand. And a sharp double-edged sword was coming-out of His mouth. And His face^[bj] was like the sun shines in its power. ¹⁷ And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as-though dead. And He placed His right hand upon me, saying “Do not be fearing. I am the First and the Last, ¹⁸ and the One living. And I became dead, and behold— I am living forever and ever. And I have the keys of death and Hades. ¹⁹ Therefore write the things which you saw, and^[bk] the things which are, and the things which are destined^[bl] to take place after these things. ²⁰ As to the mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon My right hand and the seven golden lampstands— the seven stars are angels^[bm] of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are seven churches.

Write To Ephesus: You Left Your First Love. Repent And Do The First Works

2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus, write— These things says the One holding-on-to the seven stars in His right hand, the One walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands. ² I know your works and^[bn] labor and your endurance, and that you cannot bear-with evil ones. And you tested the ones calling themselves apostles (and they are not) and you found them to be false. ³ And you have endurance, and bore-up for the sake of My name, and have not become-weary. ⁴ But I have against you that you left your first love. ⁵ Therefore, be remembering^[bo] from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. Otherwise, I am coming to you. And I will move^[bp] your lampstand from its place unless you repent. ⁶ But this you have— that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. ⁷ Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one overcoming^[bq], I will give him authority to eat from the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.

Write To Smyrna: You Are Going To Suffer. Be Faithful

⁸ “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna, write— These things says the First and the Last Who became dead and came-to-life. ⁹ I know your affliction, and^[br] poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy by the ones saying that they are Jews (and they are not), but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Do not be fearing at all the things which you are about to suffer. Behold— the devil is going to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested. And you will have affliction for ten days. Be^[bs] faithful until^[bt] death, and I will give you the crown of life. ¹¹ Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. The one overcoming will never be harmed by the second death.

Write To Pergamum: You Have Some Holding On To False Teachings. Repent

¹² “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum, write— These things says the One having the sharp double-edged sword. ¹³ I know where you dwell: where Satan’s throne is. And you are holding-on-to My name. And you did not deny My faith^[bu], even during the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you where Satan dwells. ¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there ones holding-on-to the teaching of Balaam, who was teaching Balak to put a cause-of-falling before the sons of Israel to eat foods-sacrificed-to-idols and to commit-sexual-immorality. ¹⁵ So you also have ones holding-on-to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise. ¹⁶ Therefore repent. Otherwise, I am coming to you^[bv] quickly. And I will fight^[bw] against them with the sword of My mouth. ¹⁷ Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one overcoming— I will give him some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white pebble. And having been written upon the pebble is a new name which no one knows except the one^[bx] receiving it.

Write To Thyatira: You Are Tolerating a False Teacher. Repent From Her Works

¹⁸ “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira, write— These things says the Son of God, the One having His eyes like a flame of fire and His feet resembling brass^[by]. ¹⁹ I know your works and^[bz] love and faith^[ca] and service and your endurance. And your last works are greater^[cb] than the first. ²⁰ But I have against you that you are tolerating the woman Jezebel— the one calling herself a prophet. And she is teaching and misleading My slaves to commit-sexual-immorality and eat foods-sacrificed-to-idols. ²¹ And I gave her time in order that she might repent. And she is not willing to repent from her sexual-immorality. ²² Behold— I am throwing^[cc] her into a bed^[cd], and the ones committing-adultery with her into a great affliction, unless they repent from her works. ²³ And I will kill her children^[ce] with a death^[cf]. And all the churches will know^[cg] that I am the One searching^[ch] minds and hearts, and I will give to you, to each one, according to your works. ²⁴ But I say to you, to the rest in Thyatira— all-who are not holding this teaching, who did not know the deep things of Satan (as they say): I am not putting^[ci] another burden upon you. ²⁵ However, hold-on-to what you have until whenever I come. ²⁶ And the one overcoming and^[cj] the one keeping My works^[ck] until the end— I will give him authority over the nations. ²⁷ And he will shepherd^[cl] them with an iron rod like clay vessels are broken-to-pieces, ²⁸ as I also^[cm] have received from My Father. And I will give him the morning^[cn] star. ²⁹ Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

Write To Sardis: You Are Alive In Name Only. Remember What You Received. Repent

3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis, write— These things says the One having the seven Spirits^[co] of God and the seven stars. I know your works: that you have a name^[cp] that you are alive^[cq], and you are dead. ² Be^[cr] keeping-watch, and establish^[cs] the remaining things which were-about-to die, for I have not found your works fulfilled^[ct] in the sight of My God. ³ Therefore be remembering how you have received and you heard, and be keeping it, and repent. Therefore if you do not keep-watch, I will come like a thief. And you will never know at what hour I will come upon you. ⁴ But you have a few names^[cu] in Sardis who did not stain their garments. And they will walk with Me in white garments, because they are worthy. ⁵ The one overcoming will in-this-manner clothe himself in white garments. And I will never^[cv] wipe-out^[cw] his name from the book of life. And I will confess^[cx] his name before My Father and before His angels. ⁶ Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

Write To Philadelphia: You Have Kept My Word. I Am Giving You an Opened Door

⁷ “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write— These things says the Holy One, the True One, the One having the key^[cy] of David, the One opening and no one will shut, and shutting and no one opens. ⁸ I know your works^[cz]. Behold— I have given before you an opened door^[da] (which, no one is able to shut it). Because^[db] you have a little^[dc] power^[dd], and you kept My word, and you did not deny My name, ⁹ behold— I am giving some^[de] from the synagogue of Satan, the ones saying that they are Jews (and they are not), but they are lying. Behold— I will make them so that they will come and worship^[df] before your feet, and they may know that I loved you. ¹⁰ Because you kept the word of My^[dg] endurance, I also will keep^[dh] you from^[di] the hour of testing, the hour going-to come upon the whole world to test the ones dwelling upon the earth^[dj]. ¹¹ I am coming quickly. Be holding-on-to what you have in order that no one may take your crown. ¹² The one overcoming— I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never go outside again. And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God— the new Jerusalem, the one coming down out of heaven from My God— and My new name. ¹³ Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

Write To Laodicea: You Are Lukewarm. Get What You Need From Me. Repent

¹⁴ “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea, write— These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning^[dk] of the creation of God. ¹⁵ I know your works: that you are neither cold nor hot. O-that you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about-to spew you out of My mouth. ¹⁷ Because you say that “I am a rich one, and I have become-rich, and I have a need for nothing”, and you do not know that you are the one wretched and pitiable and poor and blind and naked— ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been refined by fire in order that you may become-rich, and white garments in order that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed, and eye-salve to rub-in your eyes in order that you may see. ¹⁹ I rebuke and discipline^[dl] all whom I love. Therefore be zealous, and repent. ²⁰ Behold— I stand at the door. And I am knocking. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I also^[dm] will come-in to him. And I will have-dinner with him, and he with Me. ²¹ The one overcoming— I will give him authority to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. ²² Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches”.

A Voice Says, Come Up To Heaven And See Things Which Must Take Place After These Things

4 After these things I saw, and behold— there was an opened door in heaven, and the first voice which I heard speaking with me like [the sound] of a trumpet saying, “Come-up here and I will show you the things which must take-place after these things”. ² Immediately I came-to-be in the Spirit^[dn].

Vision 1: The Scroll With Seven Seals. The Heavenly Scene

And behold— a throne was setting there in heaven, and One sitting on the throne. ³ And the One sitting was resembling^[do] a jasper stone and a carnelian in appearance. And a rainbow^[dp] was around the throne resembling an emerald in appearance. ⁴ And around the throne I saw twenty four thrones. And on the thrones I saw twenty four elders sitting, having been clothed in white garments, and golden crowns^[dq] on their heads. ⁵ And lightnings^[dr] and voices^[ds] and thunders^[dt] are coming-out from the throne. And seven torches^[du] of fire are burning before the throne (which are the seven^[dv] Spirits of God). ⁶ And before the throne is something like a sea of-glass^[dw], resembling crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne are four living-creatures^[dx] being full of eyes on the front and on the back. ⁷ And the first living-creature is resembling a lion. And the second living-creature is resembling a calf. And the third living-creature is having the face like of a man^[dy]. And the fourth living-creature is resembling a flying eagle. ⁸ And the four living-creatures, each one of them having six wings apiece, are full of eyes around and inside^[dz]. And they do not have a rest^[ea] by day and by night, saying “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, the One Who was and Who is and Who is coming”. ⁹ And whenever the living-creatures will give glory and honor and thanks to the One sitting on the throne, to the One living forever and ever, ¹⁰ the twenty four elders will fall before the One sitting on the throne, and will give-worship to the One living forever and ever, and will cast^[eb] their crowns before the throne, saying ¹¹ “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things. And they existed and were created because-of Your will”.

Who Is Worthy To Open The Scroll? A Lamb Takes It From The One On The Throne

5 And I saw upon the right hand of the One sitting on the throne a scroll having been written inside and on-the-back, having been sealed-down with seven seals. ² And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” ³ And no one in heaven nor on earth nor under the earth was able to open the scroll, nor to look-at ^[ec] it. ⁴ And I was weeping greatly because no one worthy was found to open the scroll, nor to look-at it. ⁵ And one of the elders says to me, “Do not be weeping. Behold— the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame so as to open the scroll and its seven seals”. ⁶ And I saw in the midst of the throne and the four living-creatures, and in the midst of the elders, there was a Lamb as-if ^[ed] having been slain, standing, having seven horns, and seven eyes (which are the seven Spirits^[ee] of God having been sent-forth into all the earth). ⁷ And He came, and He has taken it out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne.

Then The One On The Throne And The Lamb Are Worshiped By All Creation

⁸ And when He took the scroll, the four living-creatures and the twenty four elders fell before the Lamb— each one holding a harp and golden bowls being full of incense (which are the prayers of the saints). ⁹ And they are singing a new song, saying “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and You bought^[ef] for God with Your blood some from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, ¹⁰ and You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign upon^[eg] the earth”. ¹¹ And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and of the living-creatures, and of the elders— and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands— ¹² saying with a loud voice “Worthy is the Lamb having been slain to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing”. ¹³ And I heard every creature which is in the heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and^[eh] all the things in them, saying “To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the dominion forever and ever”. ¹⁴ And the four living-creatures were saying “amen”. And the elders fell and worshiped.

The Lamb Opens The First Six Seals

6 And I saw when the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living-creatures saying like a voice of ^[ei] thunder, “Come^[ej]”. ² And I saw, and behold— there was a white horse, and the one sitting on it having a bow. And a crown was given to him. And he went out conquering, and^[ek] in order that he might conquer.

³ And when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living-creature saying, “Come”. ⁴ And another horse— a fire-red one— went out. And to the one sitting on it, authority was given to him to take the peace^[el] from the earth, and^[em] that they will slay one another. And a great sword was given to him.

⁵ And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living-creature saying, “Come”. And I saw, and behold— there was a black horse, and the one sitting on it holding a balance-scale in his hand. ⁶ And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living-creatures, saying “A quart^[en] of wheat for a denarius^[eo], and three quarts of barley for a denarius. And do not harm the olive-oil and the wine”.

⁷ And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living-creature saying, “Come”. ⁸ And I saw, and behold— there was a pale-green horse, and the one sitting on it. Death was the name for him. And Hades was following with him. And authority^[ep] was given to them over a fourth of the earth^[eq], to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild-beasts of the earth.

⁹ And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of the ones having been slain because of the word of God and^[er] because of the testimony which they were holding^[es]. ¹⁰ And they cried-out with a loud voice, saying “How long, holy and true Master, are You not judging and avenging^[et] our blood from the ones dwelling upon the earth?” ¹¹ And a white robe was given to them, to each one. And it was told to them that they shall^[eu] rest^[ev] a short time longer, until also^[ew] the number of their fellow-slaves and^[ex] their brothers going to be killed as also they, may be completed^[ey].

¹² And I saw when He opened the sixth seal. And a great earthquake took place. And the sun became black like a sackcloth made-of-hair, and the whole moon became like blood^[ez], ¹³ and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth— as a fig tree being shaken by a great wind throws its late-figs. ¹⁴ And the heaven was split^[fa] like a scroll being rolled-up. And every mountain and island were moved out of their places. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth and the princes and the commanders and the rich and the powerful and every slave and free one hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. ¹⁶ And they are saying to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall upon us and hide us from the face^[fb] of the One sitting on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, ¹⁷ because the great day of Their wrath came, and who is able to stand?”.

Angels Seal 144,000 Slaves of God On Their Foreheads With The Seal of God

7 After this^[fc] I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding-back the four winds of the earth in order that a wind might not blow on the land, nor on the sea, nor against any tree. ² And I saw another angel coming-up from the rising of the sun^[fd], having a seal of the living God. And he cried-out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom authority was given to them to harm the land and the sea, ³ saying “Do not harm the land nor the sea nor the trees until we seal^[fe] the slaves of our God upon their foreheads”. ⁴ And I heard the number of the ones having been sealed, one-hundred forty four thousand, having been sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel— ⁵ from^[ff] the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand having been sealed; from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; ⁶ from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand; ⁷ from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand; ⁸ from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand having been sealed.

A Multitude Having Died In The Great Affliction Worship God Before His Throne

⁹ After these things I saw, and behold— there was a great multitude (which, no one was able to number it) from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, having been clothed-with^[fg] white robes, and palm-branches in their hands. ¹⁰ And they are crying-out with a loud voice, saying “Salvation^[fh] belongs to^[fi] our God sitting on the throne and to the Lamb”. ¹¹ And all the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four living-creatures. And they fell on their faces before the throne and gave-worship to God, ¹² saying “Amen. The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength be to our God forever and ever, amen”. ¹³ And one of the elders responded, saying to me, “These ones having been clothed-with the white robes— who are they, and from where did they come?” ¹⁴ And I have said to him, “My lord, you know”. And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great affliction^[fj]. And they washed their robes and made them white^[fk] in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ For this reason, they are before the throne of God, and they are serving^[fl] Him by day and by night in His temple. And the One sitting on the throne will dwell over them. ¹⁶ They will not hunger anymore, nor thirst anymore, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any scorching-heat. ¹⁷ Because the Lamb at the center of the throne will shepherd them, and guide them to springs of the waters of life. And God will wipe-away^[fm] every tear from their eyes”.

The Lamb Opens The Seventh Seal

8 And when^[fn] He opened the seventh seal, a silence took place in heaven for about a half hour.

Vision 2: The Seven Trumpets

² And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. ³ And another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer. And much incense was given to him so-that he will give it with^[fo] the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne. ⁴ And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up from the hand of the angel before God. ⁵ And the angel has taken the censer, and he filled it from the fire of the altar and threw it to the earth. And there came thunders and voices and lightnings^[fp] and an earthquake. ⁶ And the seven angels having the seven trumpets prepared themselves in order that they might trumpet.

Angels Blow The First Four Trumpets

⁷ And the first trumpeted, and there came hail and fire having been mixed with blood, and it was thrown to the land^[fq]. And a third of the land was burned-up, and a third of the trees was burned-up, and all the green grass was burned-up.

⁸ And the second angel trumpeted, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. ⁹ And a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the creatures in the sea, the ones having life, died. And a third of the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰ And the third angel trumpeted, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch. And it fell on a third of the rivers, and on the springs of waters. ¹¹ And the name of the star is called Wormwood^[fr]. And a third of the waters became wormwood. And many of the people died from the waters, because they were made-bitter.

¹² And the fourth angel trumpeted, and a third of the sun was struck^[fs], and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so-that a third of them might be darkened, and the day might not shine for a third of it, and the night likewise.

Three Woes Remain For The Ones Dwelling On The Earth

¹³ And I saw, and I heard one eagle^[ft] flying in mid-heaven^[fu], saying with a loud voice. “Woe, woe, woe for the ones dwelling upon the earth, because-of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels being about to trumpet!”

The Fifth Trumpet. The First Woe

9 And the fifth angel trumpeted, and I saw a star from heaven having fallen to the earth. And the key of the shaft of the abyss was given to him. ² And he opened the shaft of the abyss. And smoke went-up from the shaft like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air was darkened by the smoke of the shaft. ³ And locusts came out of the smoke to the earth. And authority was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have authority. ⁴ And it was told to them that they shall not harm the grass of the land, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵ And authority was given to them so that they might not kill them, but so that they will be tormented for five months. And their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person. ⁶ And during those days the people will seek death, and will by no means find it; and they will desire to die, and death flees from them. ⁷ And the likenesses^[fv] of the locusts were like horses having been prepared for battle. And on their heads were something like crowns resembling gold. And their faces were like faces of people^[fw]. ⁸ And they had hair like the hair of women^[fx]. And their teeth were like ones of lions. ⁹ And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses running into battle. ¹⁰ And they have tails like scorpions, and stingers. And their authority to harm people for five months is in their tails. ¹¹ They have a king over them: the angel of the abyss. The name for him in Hebrew is Abaddon^[fy]. And in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

¹² The first woe passed-away. Behold— two woes are still coming after these things.

The Sixth Trumpet. The Second Woe

¹³ And the sixth angel trumpeted.

Four Angels Are Released To Kill a Third of Mankind

And I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God ¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel, the one having the trumpet, “Release the four angels having been bound at the great river Euphrates”. ¹⁵ And the four angels were released, the ones having been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, in order that they might kill a third of mankind. ¹⁶ And the number of the troops of cavalry was two hundred million. I heard the number of them. ¹⁷ And I saw the horses and the ones sitting on them in the vision as follows— having^[fz] breastplates [the color] of-fire and of-hyacinth^[ga] and of-sulphur. And the heads of the horses are like heads of lions. And fire and smoke and sulphur is coming-out of their mouths. ¹⁸ A third of mankind were killed from these three plagues— by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur coming-out of their mouths. ¹⁹ For the authority of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, having heads, and with them they do harm. ²⁰ And the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues, they did not-even repent from the works of their hands, so-that they will not worship demons and idols— the golden ones and the silver ones and the brass ones and the stone ones and the wooden ones— which are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk. ²¹ And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their sorcerer’s-potions^[gb], nor from their sexual-immorality, nor from their thefts.

An Angel With a Scroll Says The Mystery Will Be Finished With The Seventh Trumpet

10 And I saw another strong angel coming down from heaven, having been clothed-with a cloud. And the rainbow^[gc] was over^[gd] his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire. ² And he was holding^[ge] in his hand an opened little-scroll. And he placed his right foot upon the sea and the left one upon the land, ³ and he cried-out with a loud voice— as indeed a lion roars. And when he cried-out, the seven thunders spoke their voices. ⁴ And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal the things which the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them”. ⁵ And the angel whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land lifted-up his right hand to heaven ⁶ and swore by the One living forever and ever— Who created the heaven and the things in it, and the land and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it— that there will be no more time^[gf] [of delay]. ⁷ But during the days of the sound of the seventh angel, when he is about-to trumpet, the mystery of God was indeed finished^[gg], as He announced-as-good-news-to His slaves, the prophets. ⁸ And the voice which I heard from heaven was again speaking with me, and saying “Go, take the opened scroll in the hand of the angel standing upon the sea and upon the land”. ⁹ And I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little-scroll. And he says to me, “Take, and eat^[gh] it up. And it will make your stomach bitter. But in your mouth it will be sweet like honey”. ¹⁰ And I took the little-scroll out of the hand of the angel, and I ate it up. And it was like sweet honey in my mouth. And when I ate it, my stomach was made-bitter. ¹¹ And they^[gi] say to me, “You must prophesy again for^[gj] many peoples and nations and tongues and kings”.

Two Witnesses Prophesy And Torment The Earth For 1260 Days

11 And a measuring-rod resembling a staff was given^[gk] to me, saying “Arise, and measure^[gl] the temple^[gm] of God, and the altar, and the ones worshiping in it. ² And put the court outside of the temple on-the-outside, and do not measure it, because it was given to the Gentiles^[gn]. And they will trample the holy city for forty and two months. ³ And I will give authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for one-thousand two-hundred sixty days, having been clothed-with^[go] sackcloth. ⁴ These are the two olive-trees and the two lampstands standing in the presence of the Lord of the earth. ⁵ And if anyone is intending^[gp] to harm them, fire comes-out of their mouth and devours their enemies. Indeed, if anyone should intend to harm them, in this manner he must be killed. ⁶ These ones have the authority to shut the heaven in-order-that no rain may fall for the days of ^[gq] their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters— to be turning them into blood— and authority to strike the earth^[gr] with every plague, as often as they may want. ⁷ And when they finish their testimony, the beast coming up out of the abyss will make war against them, and overcome them, and kill them. ⁸ And their corpse will be on the wide-road of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt— where also their Lord was crucified. ⁹ And some from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations look-at their corpse for three and a half days. And they do not permit their corpses to be put in a tomb. ¹⁰ And the ones dwelling upon the earth^[gs] rejoice over them and celebrate. And they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented the ones dwelling upon the earth. ¹¹ And after the three and a half days, a breath^[gt] of life from God entered in them, and they stood on their feet. And great fear fell upon the ones seeing them. ¹² And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come-up here”. And they went-up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. ¹³ And at that hour a great earthquake took place, and a tenth of the city fell. And seven thousand names of people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven”.

¹⁴ The second woe passed-away. Behold— the third woe is coming quickly.

The Seventh Trumpet, The Third Woe

¹⁵ And the seventh angel trumpeted. And there came loud voices in heaven, saying “The kingdom of the world became^[gu] the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. And He will reign forever and ever”. ¹⁶ And the twenty four elders sitting on their thrones in the presence of God fell on their faces and gave-worship to God, ¹⁷ saying “We give-thanks to You, Lord God Almighty, the One Who is and Who was^[gv], because You have taken Your great power, and You began to reign^[gw]. ¹⁸ And the nations became-angry. And Your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to Your slaves the prophets, and the saints, and^[gx] the ones fearing Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy the ones destroying^[gy] the earth”.

Vision 3: The Three Signs In Heaven

¹⁹ And the temple of God in heaven was opened. And the ark of ^[gz] His covenant appeared in His temple. And there came lightnings^[ha] and voices and thunders and an earthquake and a great hail.

Sign 1: A Woman About To Give Birth

12 And a great sign appeared in heaven: there was a woman, having been clothed-with the sun, and the moon was under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head, ² and having a child in her womb. And she is crying-out, suffering-birth-pains and being-in-torment to give-birth.

Sign 2: A Red Dragon Tries To Devour The Woman And Her Newborn Son, But Fails

³ And another sign appeared in heaven. And behold— there was a great fire-red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems^[hb] on his heads. ⁴ And his tail sweeps-away^[hc] a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon is standing before the woman being about to give-birth, in order that when she gives-birth he might devour her child. ⁵ And she gave-birth to a Son, a male Child, Who is going to shepherd^[hd] all the nations with an iron rod. And her Child was snatched-up to God, and to His throne. ⁶ And the woman fled into the wilderness^[he] where she has a place there having been prepared by God, in order that they^[hf] might nourish^[hg] her there for one-thousand two-hundred sixty days.

There Is a War In Heaven: The Dragon Is Thrown Down To Earth

⁷ And there was a war^[hh] in heaven. Michael and his angels were to fight against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought. ⁸ And he did not prevail, nor was a place for them still found in heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was thrown-down— the ancient serpent, the one being called the devil and Satan, the one deceiving the whole world— he was thrown-down to the earth. And his angels were thrown-down with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying “Now^[hi] the salvation^[hj] and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ came^[hk], because the accuser of our brothers was thrown-down— the one accusing them before our God by day and by night. ¹¹ And they overcame^[hl] him because-of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of ^[hm] their testimony. And they did not love their life until^[hn] death. ¹² For this reason— celebrate, heavens, and the ones dwelling in them. Woe for the land and the sea, because the devil went down to you having great fury, knowing that he has a short time”.

The Dragon Pursues The Woman, And Then Makes War Against Her Children

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was thrown-down to the earth, he pursued^[ho] the woman who gave-birth to the male Child. ¹⁴ And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman in order that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished there for a time and times and half of a time from the presence of the serpent. ¹⁵ And the serpent threw^[hp] water from his mouth after the woman like a river, in order that he might cause her to be swept-away-by-a-river. ¹⁶ And the earth helped^[hq] the woman. Indeed the earth opened its mouth and swallowed-up the river which the dragon threw from his mouth. ¹⁷ And the dragon became-angry at the woman, and he went to make war against the rest of her seed^[hr]— the ones keeping the commandments of God and holding the testimony of ^[hs] Jesus. ¹⁸ And he stood on the sand of the sea.

A Beast Comes From The Sea: The Dragon Gives Him Power And Authority

13 And I saw a beast coming-up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and ten diadems upon his horns, and names of ^[ht] blasphemy on his heads. ² And the beast which I saw was resembling a leopard, and his feet were like ones of a bear, and his mouth was like a mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. ³ And I saw one of his heads as-if ^[hu] having been slain to^[hv] death. And his wound of ^[hw] death was cured. And the whole earth was caused-to-marvel [while following] after the beast. ⁴ And they gave-worship to the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast. And they gave worship to the beast saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage-war against him?” ⁵ And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and^[hx] blasphemies. And authority to act for forty and two months was given to him. ⁶ And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name, and His dwelling^[hy]— the^[hz] ones dwelling in heaven. ⁷ And authority was given to him to make war against the saints, and to overcome^[ia] them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. ⁸ And all the ones dwelling upon the earth will worship him— each whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb having been slain since^[ib] the foundation of the world. ⁹ If anyone has an ear, let him hear: ¹⁰ if anyone is for^[ic] captivity, he is going into captivity; if anyone is to^[id] be killed with a sword, he is to be killed with a sword. Here^[ie] is the endurance and the faith^[if] of the saints.

A Beast Comes From The Land. He Makes Everyone Worship The First Beast

¹¹ And I saw another beast^[ig] coming-up out of the land^[ih]. And he had two horns like a lamb. And he was speaking like a dragon. ¹² And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and the ones dwelling in it so that they will worship the first beast whose wound of death was cured. ¹³ And he does great signs, so that he even makes fire to come-down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of the people. ¹⁴ And he deceives the ones dwelling upon the earth because-of the signs which it was given him to do in the presence of the beast— telling the ones dwelling upon the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword and lived^[ii]. ¹⁵ And authority was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast might even^[ij] speak and cause that all-who do not give-worship to the image of the beast should be killed. ¹⁶ And he causes everyone— the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves— that they^[ik] should give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, ¹⁷ and that no one should be able to buy or to sell except the one having the mark: the name of the beast or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here^[il] is wisdom. Let the one having understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number^[im] of a man. And his number is six-hundred sixty six.

The Lamb And The 144,000 Stand On Mt. Zion, Singing a New Song

14 And I saw, and behold— the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one-hundred forty four thousand having His name and the name of His Father having been written on their foreheads. ² And I heard a sound from heaven like a sound of many waters, and like a sound of loud thunder. And the sound which I heard was like that of harpists harping with their harps. ³ And they^[in] are singing something like a new song before the throne and before the four living-creatures and the elders. And no one was able to learn the song except the one-hundred forty four thousand, the ones having been bought^[io] from the earth. ⁴ These are ones who were not stained^[ip] with women, for they are virgins. These are^[iq] the ones following the Lamb wherever He goes. These were bought from mankind to be the firstfruit to God and to the Lamb. ⁵ And falsehood was not found in their mouth. They are without-blemish.

Three Angels Proclaim God’s Message To The Earth

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven^[ir], having eternal good-news to announce-as-good-news to^[is] the ones sitting on the earth— indeed, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, ⁷ saying with a loud voice “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment came^[it]. And give-worship to the One having made the heaven and the land and sea and springs of waters”. ⁸ And another angel, a second, followed, saying “Babylon the great fell^[iu], it fell— she who has given-a-drink-to all the nations from the wine of the passion^[iv] of her sexual-immorality”. ⁹ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he himself will also drink from the wine of the fury of God having been mixed undiluted in the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And they do not have a rest by day and by night^[iw]— the ones worshiping the beast and his image, and if anyone receives the mark of his name. ¹² Here^[ix] is the endurance of the saints, the ones keeping the commandments of God and the faith of ^[iy] Jesus. ¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write— ‘Blessed^[iz] are the dead dying in the Lord from-now-on! Yes, says the Spirit, so that they will rest from their labors, for their works are following with them”.

The Reaping of Mankind

¹⁴ And I saw and behold— there was a white cloud, and one sitting on the cloud resembling a son^[ja] of man, having a golden crown^[jb] upon his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. ¹⁵ And another angel came out of the temple, crying-out with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap came, because the harvest of the earth was dried-up^[jc]”. ¹⁶ And the one sitting on the cloud cast his sickle over^[jd] the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came-out from the altar— the one having^[je] authority over the fire. And he called-out with a loud voice to the one having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the grapevine of the earth, because its grapes became ripe”. ¹⁹ And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the grapevine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the fury of God. ²⁰ And the winepress was trodden outside the city. And blood came out of the winepress up to the bridles of the horses, one-thousand six-hundred stades^[jf] away.

Sign 3: Seven Angels With The Seven Last Plagues, And The Overcomers Singing

15 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having seven plagues— the last, because the fury of God was finished^[jg] in them. ² And I saw something like a sea of-glass^[jh] having been mixed with fire, and the ones overcoming^[ji] from the beast and from his image and from the number of his name standing upon the sea of-glass, holding harps of God. ³ And they are singing the song of Moses the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying “Your works are great and marvelous, Lord God Almighty. Your ways are righteous and true, King of the nations. ⁴ Who will never come-to-fear, Lord, and glorify Your name? Because You alone are holy. Because all the nations will come and worship^[jj] before You, because Your righteous-acts were revealed”.

Vision 4: The Seven Bowls of Wrath

⁵ And after these things I saw, and the temple of ^[jk] the tabernacle^[jl] of ^[jm] testimony^[jn] in heaven was opened^[jo]. ⁶ And the seven angels having the seven plagues^[jp] came out of the temple, having been dressed-in clean shining linen and having been girded-with golden belts around the chests. ⁷ And one of the four living-creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls being full of the fury of God, the One living forever and ever. ⁸ And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power. And no one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished. 16 ¹ And I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour-out the seven bowls of the fury of God into the earth”.

² And the first went and poured out his bowl into the land^[jq]— and a bad and evil sore came upon the people having the mark of the beast and the ones giving worship to his image.

³ And the second poured out his bowl into the sea— and it became blood like of a dead man. And every soul of life died— the things in the sea.

⁴ And the third poured-out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters— and it^[jr] became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous^[js], the One Who is and Who was^[jt], the holy One, because You judged these things. ⁶ Because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They are worthy^[ju] of it ”. ⁷ And I heard a voice from the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God Almighty, Your judgments are true and righteous”.

⁸ And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun— and authority was given to it to scorch the people with fire. ⁹ And the people were scorched with a great scorching-heat. And they blasphemed the name of God, the One having the authority over these plagues. And they did not repent so as to give Him glory.

¹⁰ And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast— and his kingdom became darkened. And they were biting their tongues because-of the pain. ¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains, and because of their sores. And they did not repent from their works.

¹² And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates— and its water was dried-up in order that the way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun^[jv]. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false-prophet. ¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons doing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world to gather them together for the battle of the great day of God Almighty. ¹⁵ “Behold^[jw]— I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one keeping-watch^[jx], and keeping his garments in order that he not be walking-around naked and they see his shame”. ¹⁶ And they gathered them together to the place being called Har-Magedon in Hebrew.

¹⁷ And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air— and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne saying, “It is done^[jy]”. ¹⁸ And there came lightnings^[jz] and voices and thunders. And a great earthquake took place such as did not take place from which time a human^[ka] came-to-be^[kb] upon the earth— so-large an earthquake, so great. ¹⁹ And the great city^[kc] came-to-be in three parts. And the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered^[kd] in the presence of God— to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath. ²⁰ And every island fled, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And great hail weighing about a talent^[ke] comes down from heaven upon the people. And the people blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is extremely great.

One of The Seven Angels Takes John To See The Judgment of Babylon The Great

17 And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute sitting on many waters, ² with whom the kings of the earth committed-sexual-immorality, and the ones dwelling-in the earth^[kf] got-drunk from the wine of her sexual-immorality”. ³ And he carried me away in the Spirit^[kg] to a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast being-full-of names of ^[kh] blasphemy having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman had been clothed-with^[ki] purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and with precious stone and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand being-full of abominations^[kj] and^[kk] the impure things of her sexual-immorality, ⁵ and a name having been written upon her forehead, a mystery^[kl]: “Babylon the Great, the mother of the prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth”. ⁶ And I saw the woman being-drunk from the blood of the saints, and^[km] from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.

The Angel Explains The Mystery of The Great Prostitute And The Beast

And having seen her, I wondered with great wonder. ⁷ And the angel said to me, “For what reason do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast carrying her— the one having the seven heads and the ten horns. ⁸ The beast which you saw was and is not and is going to come-up out of the abyss. And he goes to destruction. And the ones dwelling upon the earth whose name has not been written on the book of life since the foundation of the world will be caused-to-marvel while seeing the beast, because he was and is not and will be present^[kn]. ⁹ Here^[ko] is the mind having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits on them, and they are seven kings. ¹⁰ The five fell, the one is, the other did not yet come. And when he comes, he must remain a short time. ¹¹ And the beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth. And he is from^[kp] the seven. And he goes to destruction. ¹² And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings^[kq] who did not-yet receive a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour^[kr]. ¹³ These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ These will wage-war against the Lamb. And the Lamb^[ks] will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and the ones with Him are called ones and chosen ones and faithful ones”. ¹⁵ And he says to me, “The waters which you saw where the prostitute sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast— these will hate^[kt] the prostitute and they will make her desolated^[ku] and naked, and they will eat her flesh, and they will burn her up with fire. ¹⁷ For God gave it into their hearts to do His purpose, and to do one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast— until the words of God will be finished. ¹⁸ And the woman whom you saw is the great city having a kingdom over the kings of the earth”.
