Revelation 14:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 On their lips no deceit[a] has been found; they are unblemished.(A)
The Three Angels.[b] 6 Then I saw another angel flying high overhead, with everlasting good news[c] to announce to those who dwell on earth, to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. 7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, for his time has come to sit in judgment. Worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water.”(B)

- 14:5 No deceit: because they did not deny Christ or do homage to the beast. Lying is characteristic of the opponents of Christ (Jn 8:44), but the Suffering Servant spoke no falsehood (Is 53:9; 1 Pt 2:22). Unblemished: a cultic term taken from the vocabulary of sacrificial ritual.
- 14:6–13 Three angels proclaim imminent judgment on the pagan world, calling all peoples to worship God the creator. Babylon (Rome) will fall, and its supporters will be tormented forever.
- 14:6 Everlasting good news: that God’s eternal reign is about to begin; see note on Rev 10:7.
