Revelation 14

The Three Angels

⁶ Then I saw another angel flying in the middle of the sky. He had the everlasting gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth, to every nation, tribe, language, and people. ⁷ He said with a loud voice:

⁸ Another angel, a second, ^[1] followed. He said, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, ^[2] who made every nation drink from the wine of her adulterous desire.”

⁹ Another angel, a third one, followed them. He said with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he will also drink from the wine of God’s wrath, which has been poured undiluted ^[3] into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment is going to rise forever and ever. Those who worship the beast and his image, and anyone who receives the mark of his name, are going to have no rest day and night.”

¹² Here patient endurance is needed by the saints, who hold on to the commands of God and their faith in Jesus. ¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven say, ^[4] “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “because they will rest from their labors, for their works follow them.”
