Other Translations - Revelation
14:6-13:
Then I saw another angel flying high in the air. The angel had the eternal
Good News to announce to the people that live on the earth--to every nation,
tribe, language, and race of people.
7The angel said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him praise. The time has
come for God to judge [all people]. Worship God. He made the heavens, the earth,
the sea, and the springs of water."
8Then the second angel followed the first angel and said, "She is destroyed!
The great city of Babylon is destroyed! She (Babylon) made all the nations drink
the wine of her adultery and of God's anger."
9A third angel followed the first two angels. This third angel said in a loud
voice: "[It will be bad for] the person that worships the animal and the
animal's idol and gets the animal's mark on his forehead or on his hand.
10That person will drink the wine of God's anger. This wine is prepared with
all its strength in the cup of God's anger. That person will be tortured (hurt)
with burning sulfur before the holy angels and the Lamb.
11And the smoke from their burning pain will rise forever and ever. There will
be no rest, day or night, for those people who worship the animal and his idol
or who get the mark of his name."
12This means that God's holy people must be patient. They must obey God's
commands and keep their faith in Jesus.
13Then I heard a voice from heaven. The voice said, "Write this: From now on,
the dead people who were in the Lord when they died are blessed (happy)."
The Spirit says, "Yes, that is true. Those people will rest from their hard
work. The things they have done will stay with them." (ERV)
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;
7and 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.
8And 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.
9And 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,
10he 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:
11and 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.
12Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus.
13And I heard the 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. (ASV)
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,
7Saying 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.
8And 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.
9And 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, 10The 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:
11And 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.
12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments
of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13And 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.
