The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

(22

mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all. "And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, 1 of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee ; and the voice of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 "and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived. "And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.

After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, 2 and glory, and power, belong to our God: "for true and righteous are his judgements; for he hath judged the great harlot, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 "And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke 4 goeth up 3 for ever and ever. "And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen ; (5 Hallelujah. "And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Give praise to our God, all ye his servants, ye that 6 fear him, the small and the great. "And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reign7 eth.

"And it

was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous (9 acts of the saints. "And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of 10 God. "And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellowservant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon, 'called Faithful and True; (12 and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. "And

his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written, which no one. 13 knoweth but he himself. 'And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. "And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. "And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty 16 God. "And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD of lords.

(17) And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great 18 supper of God; "that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that 20 sat upon the horse, and against his army. "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image: they twain were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: "and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth : and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having 2 the key of the abyss and a great chain 'in his hand. "And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, "and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and (5 reigned with Christ a thousand years. "The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. 6 This is the first resurrection.

And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall 8 be loosed out of his prison, "and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the (9 number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city and fire 10) came down out of heaven, and devoured them. "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and

ever.

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; (12) and there was found no place for them. "And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them and they were judged every man according to their works. "And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire. "And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

21(1) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is (2) no more.

"And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall 'dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and *(4) be their God: "and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things (5) are passed away. "And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, 3 Write: 6 for these words are faithful and true. "And he said unto me, They are come to pass.

And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew (10) thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. "And he carried

me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of (11 heaven from God, "having the glory of God: her 'light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper (12 stone, clear as crystal : "having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: "on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the
