Revelation 14:12-14

J.B. Phillips New Testament

The call to stand fast

¹² In all this stands the endurance of the saints—those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.

The security of the saints

¹³ Then I heard a voice from Heaven, saying, “Write this! From henceforth happy are the dead who die in the Lord!” “Happy indeed,” says the Spirit, “for they rest from their labours and their deeds go with them!”

The harvest of God’s wrath

¹⁴ Once again I looked, and a white cloud appeared before me with someone sitting upon the cloud with the appearance of ‘the Son of Man’. He had a golden crown on his head, and held a sharp sickle in his hand.
