Revelation 14:1-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion

14 Then I looked, and behold, ^(A)the Lamb was standing on ^(B)Mount Zion, and with Him ^(C)one hundred and forty-four thousand, having ^(D)His name and the ^(E)name of His Father written ^(F)on their foreheads. ² And I heard a voice from heaven, like ^(G)the sound of many waters and like the ^(H)sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of ^(I)harpists playing on their harps. ³ And they *^[a]sang ^(J)a new song before the throne and before the ^(K)four living creatures and the ^(L)elders; and ^(M)no one could learn the song except the ^(N)one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ^(O)purchased from the earth. ^4 (P)These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they ^[b]have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who ^(Q)follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been ^(R)purchased from among men ^(S)as first fruits to God and to the Lamb. ⁵ And ^(T)no lie was found in their mouth; they are ^(U)blameless.

Vision of the Angel with the Gospel

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in ^(V)midheaven, having ^(W)an eternal gospel to preach to ^(X)those who ^[c]live on the earth, and to ^(Y)every nation and tribe and tongue and people; ⁷ and he said with a loud voice, “^(Z)Fear God, and ^(AA)give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who ^(AB)made the heaven and the earth and sea and ^(AC)springs of waters.”

⁸ And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, “^[d](AD)Fallen, fallen is ^(AE)Babylon the great, she who has ^(AF)made all the nations drink of the ^(AG)wine of the ^[e]passion of her immorality.”

Doom for Worshipers of the Beast

⁹ Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone ^(AH)worships the beast and his ^(AI)image, and receives a ^(AJ)mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he also will drink of the ^(AK)wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed ^[f]in full strength ^(AL)in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with ^(AM)fire and ^[g]brimstone in the presence of the ^(AN)holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹ And the ^(AO)smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; ^(AP)they have no rest day and night, those who ^(AQ)worship the beast and his ^(AR)image, and ^[h]whoever receives the ^(AS)mark of his name.” ¹² Here is ^(AT)the ^[i]perseverance of the ^[j]saints who ^(AU)keep the commandments of God and ^[k](AV)their faith in Jesus.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write, ‘^(AW)Blessed are the dead who ^(AX)die in the Lord from now on!’” “Yes,” ^(AY)says the Spirit, “so that they may ^(AZ)rest from their labors, for their ^(BA)deeds follow with them.”
