of the wine of her fornication.

And the third angel followed him, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast, and his image, and receive the mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10. He shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out and made pure in the cup of his wrath: and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels, and before the Lamb.

And the smoke of their torment shall ascend for ever and ever: and they shall have no rest day nor night, who have worshipped the beast and his image, and have received the mark of his name.

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the LORD from henceforth. Yea, the Spirit saith, that they may rest from their labour: for their works follow them.

And I saw, and, behold, a white cloud, and sitting upon the cloud a man like unto the Son of man, having a crown of gold upon his head, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice unto him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come to reap: for the harvest of the earth is become dry.

And he that sat on the cloud smote the earth with his sickle, and the earth was reaped.

And another angel went out of the temple which is in heaven, having a sharp sickle.

And another angel came out of the altar, having power over fire, and cried with a loud cry unto him that had the sharp hoof, saying, Smite with thy sharp hoof, and cut the grapes of the earth: for their berries are ripe.

And the angel smote the earth with his hoof, and cut down the branches of the earth, and cast them into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

And the winepress was pressed without the city: and the blood went out of the winepress unto the bridles of the horses a thousand six hundred furlongs.

Chapter 15
The fifth vision: of the seven last plagues and the believers’ song of praise.

1. And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues: for with them the wrath of God is finished.
2. And he saw a sea of glass mingled with fire; and they that had the victory in the beast, and in his image, and in his mark, and in the number of his name, stood by the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3. And they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvelous are thy works, O LORD God Almighty: just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4. Who shall not fear thee, O LORD, and praise thy name? For thou alone art holy. For all nations shall come and worship before thee: for thy judgments are revealed.
5. After these things I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.
6. And out of the temple went the seven angels which had the seven plagues, clothed in clean linen, and girded in their breasts with golden girdles.
7. And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, which liveth for ever and ever.
8. And the temple was filled with smoke for the glory of God, and for his power: and no man could enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
   (Revelation)

Chapter 16
The bowls of divine wrath are poured out by the seven angels.

1. And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying unto the seven angels: Go ye, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2. And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth. And there was a wicked and evil gland in them that had the mark of the beast, and that worshipped his image.
3. And the other angel poured out his vial into the sea. And there was blood, as of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4. And the third angel poured out his vial into the rivers of water, and into the fountains of waters. And there was blood.
5. And I heard the angel say, Lord, thou art righteous, which art, and which was, and holy, that thou hast judged these things.
6. For they have shed the blood of the saints and of the prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: for they are worthy.
7. And I heard another angel out of the altar say, Yea, Lord God Almighty, thy judgments are true and righteous.
8. And the fourth angel poured out his vial into the sun, and it was given unto him to make man hot with fire.
9. And men were hot with great heat, and blasphemed the name of GOD, which hath power over these plagues; and repented not to give him glory.
10. And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the throne of the beast. And his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain.
11. And blasphemed God in heaven for their pains, and for their glands; and repented not of their works.
12. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the waters dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun.
13. And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like unto frogs.
14. And there are spirits of devils, which do signs, and go forth unto the kings of the earth, and to all the world, to gather them together to battle for that great day of God Almighty.
15. Behold, I come as a thief! Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and his shame be seen.
16. And he gathered them together unto a place which is called in the ibex Armageddon.
17. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air. And there went out a voice from heaven out of the throne, saying, It is done.
18. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so great an earthquake.
19. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the heathen fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of wine of his fierce anger.
20. And all the isles fled away, and no mountains were found.
21. And a great hail of a talent fell from heaven upon men. And men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for his plague is very great.

Chapter 17
The sixth face: description of the antichristian kingdom under the image of a great harlot.

1. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, and said unto me, Come, and I will shew thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters,
2. With whom the kings of the earth, and they that dwell on the earth, have been drunken with the wine of their fornication.
3. And he brought me in the spirit into the wilderness. And I saw the woman sitting upon a beast of a scarlet colour, full of the name of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4. And the woman was clothed in scarlet and scarlet, and overlaid with gold, and precious stones, and pearls, and had a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication;
5. And in her forehead was written the name, the mystery, Great Babylon, the mother of fornication, and of all the abominations of the earth.
6. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of JEsu. And I marvelled greatly when I saw her.
7. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore art thou astonished? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath seven heads and ten horns.
8. The beast which thou sawest was, and is not; and shall come again out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, that he was, and is not, though he be.
9. And here is the sense where wisdom belongeth. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth, and are seven kings.
10. Five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must tarry a little while.
11. And the beast that was, and is not, is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have not yet received the kingdom; but as kings they shall receive power with the beast for a time.
13. these have an opinion and will give their strength and power to the beast.
14. These shall contend with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is the Lord of lords, and the King of kings; and with him the called, and the chosen, and the faithful.
15. And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
