The Lamb and the 144,000
1Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. 3And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. 5No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
The Three Angels
6Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. 7He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
8A second angel followed and said, “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’14:8 Isaiah 21:9 which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”
9A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 12This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.
13Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress
14I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man14:14 See Daniel 7:13. with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.14:20 That is, about 180 miles or about 300 kilometers
天上的新歌
1我又观看，见羔羊站在锡安山上，与祂在一起的有十四万四千人，他们额上都有祂和祂父的名字。 2我听见有声音从天上传来，像江海澎湃，像雷霆轰鸣，又像琴师弹奏竖琴的声音。 3他们在宝座前，在四个活物和众长老面前唱一首新歌。除了从地上被赎出来的十四万四千人以外，没有人能学得会这歌。 4这些人从未沾染过妇女，都是童身。无论羔羊往哪里去，他们都紧随其后。他们是从世人中被赎出来的，作为初熟的果实献给上帝和羔羊。 5他们从未说谎，纯洁无瑕。
三位天使的信息
6我看见另一位天使在空中飞翔，要将永远的福音传给地上的各国家、各部落、各语言族群、各民族。 7他大声说：“要敬畏上帝，归荣耀给祂，因为祂审判的时候到了。要敬拜造天地、海洋和一切水源的上帝。”
8接着又一位天使说：“巴比伦大城倒塌了！倒塌了！她曾使万民喝她淫乱的烈酒。”14:8 以赛亚书21:9。
9之后，第三位天使高喊：“一切敬拜怪兽和兽像、在手或额上接受兽印的， 10都要喝上帝烈怒调制的酒，就是祂怒杯里毫无掺杂的烈酒。他们要在圣天使和羔羊面前，在火和硫磺中受煎熬。 11他们受煎熬所冒的烟不断上腾，永无休止。那些拜兽、兽像和接受了兽名印记的人昼夜不得安宁。” 12因此，持守上帝命令和耶稣真道的圣徒需要坚忍。
13我听见天上有声音说：“你将下面的话写下来，从今以后，那些为主而死的人有福了！”
圣灵说：“是的！他们将得享安息，不再劳苦。他们工作的成果必随着他们。”
地上的收割
14我又观看，见有一朵白云，上面坐着的好像是人子，14:14 但以理书7:13。祂头戴金冠，手拿锋利的镰刀。 15有一位天使从殿中出来，扬声向坐在云上的那位说：“挥动你的镰刀收割吧！地上的庄稼已经熟透了，可以收割了。” 16于是，坐在云上的那位便向大地挥动镰刀，把地上的庄稼都收割了。
17另一位天使手里也拿着锋利的镰刀从天上的殿中出来。 18又有一位掌管火的天使从祭坛那里出来，对手拿镰刀的天使高喊：“挥动你锋利的镰刀，收取地上葡萄树的果实吧！它们已经熟透了。” 19于是，那天使挥动镰刀，收取了地上的葡萄，抛到上帝烈怒的大榨酒池中。 20葡萄在城外的榨酒池中被踩踏，血从榨酒池中涌出，高至马的嚼环，流了三百公里14:20 “三百公里”希腊文是“一千六百司他町”。远。
