14 Then I looked. And lo, a Lamb stood on mount Zion; and with him 144,000, having his Father’s Name written in their foreheads.

And I heard a voice from Heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of a great thunder. And I heard the voice of harpists, harping with their harps.

And they sang (as it were) a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts and the elders. And no one could learn that song except the 144,000 who were bought from the Earth.

These are those who are not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These are bought from man, being the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

And in their mouths was found no deceit. For they are without spot before the throne of God.

Then I saw another angel fly in the midst of Heaven - having an everlasting Gospel to preach to those who dwell on the Earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people -

saying with a loud voice, “Fear God! And give glory to Him! For the hour of His judgment has come! And worship Him who made Heaven and Earth and the sea and the fountains of waters!”

And there followed another angel, saying, “Babylon, that great city is fallen! It is fallen! For she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication!”

And a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worship the beast and his image - and receives his mark on his forehead, or on his hand -

10 the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God; indeed, of the pure wine which is poured into the cup of His wrath! And he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels, and before the Lamb!

11 “And the smoke of their torment shall ascend evermore! And they shall have no rest, day nor night, who worship the beast and his name!”

12 Here is the patience of saints. Here are those who keep the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from Heaven, saying to me, “Write: ‘The dead who die in the Lord are fully blessed.’” “Even so,” says the Spirit, “for they rest from their labors and their works still follow them.”

14 And I looked. And there was a white cloud. And upon the cloud, One sitting Who looks like the Son of Man; having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the Temple, crying with a loud voice to Him Who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in your sickle and reap! For the time has come to reap! For the harvest of the Earth is ripe!”

16 And He Who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the Earth. And the Earth was reaped.

17 Then another angel came out of the Temple, which is in Heaven, having also a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out from the altar - who had power over fire - and cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, and said, “Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the Earth! For her grapes are ripe!”

19 And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle on the Earth, and cut down the vines of the vineyard of the Earth and cast them into that great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 And the winepress was trampled outside the City. And blood flowed out of the winepress, up to the horses’ bridles, for the space of 1600 furlongs.

El cortejo del Cordero y el cántico nuevo

14 Volví a mirar, y vi al Cordero de pie sobre el monte de Sión. Lo acompañaban los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil que llevaban grabado en la frente el nombre del Cordero y el nombre de su Padre. Y escuché un sonido como de aguas caudalosas y de truenos fragorosos que venía del cielo; era, sin embargo, el sonido de arpistas tañendo sus cítaras. Entonaban un cántico nuevo delante del trono, y delante de los cuatro seres vivientes y de los ancianos; un cántico que nadie era capaz de cantar, fuera de los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil rescatados de la tierra. Estos son los que no se contaminaron con la idolatría manteniéndose vírgenes, los que forman el cortejo perenne del Cordero, los rescatados de entre la humanidad como primeros frutos para Dios y para el Cordero, los de palabras sinceras y de conducta intachable.

El mensaje de los tres ángeles

Vi también otro ángel que volaba por lo más alto del cielo. Tenía un evangelio eterno que anunciar a los habitantes de la tierra; a todas las razas, naciones, lenguas y pueblos. Decía con voz poderosa:

— Teman a Dios y dénle gloria, porque ha sonado la hora del juicio. Adoren al creador del cielo y de la tierra, del mar y de los manantiales de agua.

Un segundo ángel lo seguía, proclamando:

— ¡Por fin cayó la orgullosa Babilonia, la que emborrachó al mundo entero con el vino de su desenfrenada lujuria! Y un tercer ángel seguía a los dos anteriores, clamando con voz poderosa:

— ¡Adoren, si ustedes lo quieren, a la bestia y a su imagen! ¡Déjense tatuar su marca, si les place, en la frente o en la mano! 10 Pero entonces, dispónganse a beber el vino de la ira de Dios que ha sido vertido sin mezcla alguna en la copa de su furor, dispónganse a ser torturados con fuego y azufre en presencia de los santos ángeles y del Cordero. 11 El tormento será eterno y no habrá descanso ni de día ni de noche para quienes adoren a la bestia y a su imagen, para quienes se hayan dejado tatuar su nombre. 12 ¡Ha sonado la hora de poner a prueba la firmeza de los consagrados a Dios, de los que cumplen los mandamientos de Dios y son fieles a Jesús!

13 Y oí una voz que decía: desde el cielo:

— Escribe esto: “Dichosos desde ahora los muertos que mueren en el Señor. El Espíritu mismo les asegura el descanso de sus fatigas, por cuanto sus buenas obras los acompañan”.

Tiempo de siega y de vendimia

14 Volví a mirar, y vi una nube blanca. Sentado sobre ella había un ser de aspecto humano que llevaba una corona de oro en la cabeza y una hoz afilada en la mano. 15 Salió del Templo otro ángel y gritó con voz poderosa al que estaba sentado en la nube:

— Empuña tu hoz y comienza a segar. Es el tiempo de la siega, pues ya está la mies en sazón.

16 Acercó su hoz a la tierra el que estaba sentado sobre la nube y segó la mies de la tierra.

17 A continuación salió del Templo celestial otro ángel, que también llevaba una hoz afilada. 18 Y todavía surgió del altar un ángel más —el que tiene poder sobre el fuego— y ordenó con fuerte voz al de la hoz afilada:

— Empuña tu hoz afilada y vendimia los racimos de la viña de la tierra, pues ya están las uvas en sazón.

19 Acercó el ángel su hoz a la tierra, vendimió la viña de la tierra y arrojó la vendimia al gran lagar de la ira de Dios. 20 En las afueras de la ciudad fue pisado el lagar y salió de él tanta sangre, que inundó la tierra hasta alcanzar la altura de las bridas de un caballo en un radio de trescientos kilómetros.

14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

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.

14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
