1 Then I appeared, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion! And with him had been 100 forty-four thousand who had his title and his Father’s title written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven just like the sound of many waters and just like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was just like the sound of harpists enjoying on their harps, 3 and so they sing a brand new music earlier than the throne and earlier than the 4 residing creatures and earlier than the elders. Nobody might be taught that music besides the 100 forty-four thousand who’ve been redeemed from the earth. 4 It’s these who haven’t defiled themselves with ladies, for they’re virgins; these observe the Lamb wherever he goes. They’ve been redeemed from humankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and of their mouth no lie was discovered; they’re innocent.
6 Then I noticed one other angel flying in midheaven, with an everlasting gospel to proclaim to those that stay on the earth—to each nation and tribe and language and folks. 7 He stated in a loud voice, “Worry God and provides him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the ocean and the springs of water.”
8 Then one other angel, a second, adopted, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the good! She has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her prostitution.”
9 Then one other angel, a 3rd, adopted them, crying with a loud voice, “Those that worship the beast and its picture and obtain the model on their foreheads or on their arms, 10 they will even drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and they are going to be tormented with hearth and sulfur within the presence of the holy angels and within the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up without end and ever. There is no such thing as a relaxation day or night time for individuals who worship the beast and its picture and for anybody who receives the model of its title.”
12 Here’s a name for the endurance of the saints, those that hold the commandments of God and maintain quick to the religion of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the useless who any further die within the Lord.” “Sure,” says the Spirit, “they’ll relaxation from their labors, for his or her deeds observe them.”
