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,

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.

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.

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,

10 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:

11 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.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 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.

The Messages of the Three Angels

Then I saw another angel (A)flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to (B)those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, (C)“Fear God and (D)give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and (E)worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the (F)springs of water.”

Another angel, a second, followed, saying, (G)“Fallen, fallen is (H)Babylon the great, (I)she who made all nations drink (J)the wine of the passion[a] of her sexual immorality.”

And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone (K)worships the beast and its image and receives (L)a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink (M)the wine of God's wrath, (N)poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and (O)he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And (P)the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and (Q)they have no rest, day or night, these (R)worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”

12 (S)Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who (T)keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.[b]

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: (U)Blessed are the dead (V)who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, (W)“that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
