V 001 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.
V 002 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:
V 003 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.
V 004 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.
V 005 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault
before the throne of God.
V 006 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,
V 007 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.
V 008 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.
V 009 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,
V 010 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:
V 011 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.
V 012 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
V 013 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.
V 014 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.
V 015 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.
V 016 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth;
and the earth was reaped.
V 017 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he
also having a sharp sickle.
V 018 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.
V 019 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.
V 020 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. |

ونَظَرتُ فرَأيتُ حَمَلاً على جَبَلِ صِهيونَ ومعَهُ مِئةِ
وأربَعةِ وأربعونَ ألفًا ظَهَرَ اَسمُهُ واَسمُ أبيهِ
مَكتوبًا على جِباهِهِم،
2-
وسَمِعتُ صَوتًا مِنَ السَّماءِ مِثلَ هَديرِ المِياهِ
الغَزيرَةِ أو دَويِّ الرَّعدِ الهائِلِ، وكأنَّما هوَ
أنغامٌ يعزِفُها لاعِبونَ بِالقيثارَةِ،
3-
وهُم يُرنِّمونَ تَرنيمَةً جَديدةً أمامَ
العَرشِ وأمامَ الكائناتِ الحيَّةِ الأربَعَةِ وأمامَ
الشُّيوخِ، وما مِنْ أحَدٍ يَقدِرُ أنْ يتَعَلَّمَ
التَّرنيمَةَ إلاّ المِئةُ والأربعةُ والأربعونَ ألفًا
المُفتَدونَ مِنَ الأرضِ.
4-
هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الذينَ ما
تَدَنَّسوا بِالنِّساءِ، فهُم أبكارٌ. هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الذينَ
يَتبَعونَ الحَمَلَ أينما سارَ، والذينَ تَمَ اَفتِداؤُهُم
مِنْ بَينِ البَشَرِ باكورَةً لله والحَمَلِ.
5-
ما نَطَقَ
لِسانُهُم بِالكذِبِ، ولا عَيبَ فيهِم.
الملائكة الثلاثة
6-
ثُمَ رأيتُ مَلاكًا آخَرَ يَطيرُ في وسَطَ السَّماءِ، معَهُ
بِشارَةِ أبدِيَّةِ يُبشِّرُ بِها سُكانَ الأرضِ مِنْ كُلِّ
أُمَّةٍ وقَبيلةٍ ولِسانٍ وشَعبٍ.
7-
وكانَ يَصيحُ بِصوتٍ
عظيمِ: «خافوا الله ومَجِّدوهُ! جاءَت ساعَةُ الدَّينونَةِ،
فاَسجُدوا لِمَنْ خلَقَ السَّماءَ والأرضَ والبحرَ
واليَنابيعَ!
«
8-
وتَبِعَهُ ملاكٌ ثانٍ آخَرُ يَصيحُ: «سَقَطَت، سَقَطَت
بابِلُ العَظيمةُ التي سَقَتِ الأُمَمَ كُلَّها مِنْ فَورَةِ
خَمرِ زِناها!
«
9-
وتبِعَ هذَينِ الملاكينِ ملاكٌ آخَرُ يَصيحُ بِصوتٍ عَظيمِ:
«مَنْ سجَدَ لِلوَحشِ وصُورَتِهِ وكانَ مَوسُومًا
على جَبهَتِهِ أو يَدِهِ،
10-
فلا بُدَ أنْ يَشرَبَ مِنْ خَمرِ
غضَبِ الله المَسكوبَةِ مِنْ غَيرِ مَزْجِ في كأْسِ
غَضَبِهِ، ويُقاسي عَذابَ النارِ والكِبريتِ
أمامَ الملائِكَةِ الأطهارِ وأمامَ الحَمَلِ،
11-
ودُخانُ عَذابِهِم يَصعَدُ أبَدَ الدُّهورِ. لا
راحَةَ في اللَّيلِ والنَّهارِ لِلسَّاجِدينَ لِلوَحشِ
وصُورَتِهِ ولِمَنْ يُوسَمُ باَسمِ الوَحشِ.
12-
هُنا
صَبرُ القِدِّيسينَ الذينَ يتَمَسَّكونَ بِوَصايا الله
والإيمانِ بِيَسوعَ«.
13- ثُمَ سَمِعتُ صَوتًا مِنَ السَّماءِ يَقولُ:
«اَكتُبْ: هَنيئًا لِلأمواتِ الذينَ يَموتونَ مُنذُ
الآنَ في الرَّبِّ!
«
فيُجيبُ الرُّوحُ: «نعَم، فيَستَريحونَ مِنْ
مَتاعِبِهِم، لأنَّ أعمالَهُم تَتبَعُهُم«.
حصاد الأرض
14-
ونَظَرتُ فرَأيتُ سَحابَةً بَيضاءَ جَلَسَ علَيها
مِثلُ اَبنِ إنسانٍ وعلى رأْسِهِ إكليلٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ
وبيَدِهِ مِنجَلٌ مَسنونِ.
15-
ثُمَ خَرَجَ مِنَ الهَيكَلِ ملاكٌ آخَرُ يَصيحُ
صِياحًا عالِيًا بِالجالِسِ على السَّحابَةِ: «خُذْ
مِنجَلَكَ واَحصُدْ! جاءَت ساعَةُ الحَصادِ ونَضِجَ
حَصادُ الأرضِ!
«
16- فأَلقى الجالِسُ على السَّحابَةِ مِنجَلَهُ على
الأرضِ فحصَدَ الأرضَ.
17-
وخرَجَ مَلاكٌ آخَرُ مِنَ الهَيكَلِ الذي في السَّماءِ
ومعَهُ أيضًا مِنجَلٌ مَسنونِ.
18-
ثُمَ خرَجَ
مِنْ مَذبَحِ الهَيكَلِ ملاكٌ آخَرُ لَه سُلطانِ على
النارِ، فصاحَ صِياحًا عالِيًا بِالمَلاكِ الذي
يَحمِلُ المِنجَلَ المَسنونَ: «خُذْ مِنجَلَكَ
المَسنونَ واَقطُف عَناقيدَ كُرومِ الأرضِ لأنَّ
عِنَبَها نَضِجَ«.
19- فألقى الملاكُ مِنجَلَهُ على الأرضِ وقطَفَ كُرومَ
الأرضِ وأفرَغَها في مِعصَرَةِ غَضَبِ الله العَظيمةِ.
20- وديسَتِ المِعصَرَةُ في خارِجِ المدينةِ، فجَرى
مِنها دَمٌ على اَرتِفاعِ لُجُمِ الخَيلِ إلى مَدى
مِئَتي مِيلٍ.
