Revelation 8

The Lamb Breaks the Seventh Seal

8When the Lamb broke the seventh seal on the scrollc, there was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour.G2532G3753G455G1442G4973G1096G4602G1722G3772G5613G22562I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets.G2532G1492G2033G32G3739G2476G1799G2316G2532G846G1325G2033G45363Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar. And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God's people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne.G2532G243G32G2064G2532G2476G1909G2379G2192G5552G3031G2532G1325G846G4183G2368G2443G1325G4335G3956G40G1909G5552G2379G3588G1799G23624The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God's holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out.G2532G2586G2368G4335G40G305G1799G2316G1537G32G54955Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.G2532G32G2983G3031G2532G1072G846G1537G4442G2379G2532G906G1519G1093G2532G1096G5456G2532G1027G2532G796G2532G4578

The First Four Trumpets

6Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts.G2532G2033G32G3588G2192G2033G4536G2090G1438G2443G45377The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. One-third of the earth was set on fire, one-third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned.G2532G4413G32G4537G2532G1096G5464G2532G4442G3396G129G2532G906G1519G1093G2532G5154G1186G2618G2532G3956G5515G5528G26188Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the water in the sea became blood,G2532G1208G32G4537G2532G5613G3173G3735G2545G4442G906G1519G2281G2532G5154G2281G1096G1299one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.G2532G5154G2938G3588G1722G2281G2192G5590G599G2532G5154G4143G131110Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water.G2532G5154G32G4537G2532G4098G3173G792G1537G3772G2545G5613G2985G2532G4098G1909G5154G4215G2532G1909G4077G520411The name of the star was Bitternessc. It made one-third of the water bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter water.G2532G3686G792G3004G894G2532G5154G5204G1096G1519G894G2532G4183G444G599G1537G5204G3754G408712Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun was struck, and one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars, and they became dark. And one-third of the day was dark, and also one-third of the night.G2532G5067G32G4537G2532G5154G2246G4141G2532G5154G4582G2532G5154G792G2443G5154G846G4654G2532G2250G5316G3361G5154G846G2532G3571G366813Then I looked, and I heard a single eagle crying loudly as it flew through the air, "Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets."G2532G1492G2532G191G1520G32G4072G1722G3321G3004G3173G5456G3759G3759G3759G2730G1909G1093G1537G3062G5456G4536G5140G32G3588G3195G4537

Revelation 9

The Fifth Trumpet Brings the First Terror

9Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pitc.G2532G3991G32G4537G2532G1492G792G4098G1537G3772G1519G1093G2532G846G1325G2807G12G54212When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke.G2532G455G12G5421G2532G305G2586G1537G5421G5613G2586G3173G2575G2532G2246G2532G109G4654G1537G2586G54213Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.G2532G1831G1537G2586G200G1519G1093G2532G846G1325G1849G5613G4651G1093G2192G18494They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.G2532G4483G846G3363G91G3363G91G5528G1093G3761G3956G5515G3761G3956G1186G1508G3441G444G3748G2192G3756G4973G2316G1909G846G33595They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.G2532G846G1325G3363G615G3363G615G846G235G2443G928G4002G3376G2532G846G929G5613G929G4651G3752G3817G4446In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!G2532G1722G1565G2250G444G2212G2288G2532G2147G3756G2147G846G2532G1937G599G2532G2288G5343G575G8467The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces.G2532G3667G200G3664G2462G2090G1519G4171G2532G1909G846G2776G5613G4735G3664G5557G2532G846G4383G5613G4383G4448They had hair like women's hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion.G2532G2192G2359G5613G2359G1135G2532G846G3599G2258G5613G30239They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.G2532G2192G2382G5613G2382G4603G2532G5456G846G4420G5613G5456G716G4183G2462G5143G1519G417110They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people.G2532G2192G3769G3664G4651G2532G2258G2759G1722G846G3769G2532G846G1849G91G444G4002G337611Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon—the Destroyer.G2532G2192G935G1909G848G32G12G846G3686G1447G3G2532G1722G1673G2192G3686G62312The first terror is past, but look, two more terrors are coming!G3391G3759G565G2400G2064G1417G3759G2089G3326G5023

The Sixth Trumpet Brings the Second Terror

13Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God.G2532G1623G32G4537G2532G191G3391G5456G1537G5064G2768G5552G2379G3588G1799G231614And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River."G3004G1623G32G3739G2192G4536G3089G5064G32G3588G1210G1909G3173G4215G216615Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on earth.G2532G5064G32G3089G3588G2090G1519G5610G2532G2250G2532G3376G2532G1763G2443G615G5154G44416I heard the size of their army, which was 200 million mounted troops.G2532G706G4753G2461G1417G3461G3461G2532G191G706G84617And in my vision, I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them. The riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow. The horses had heads like lions, and fire and smoke and burning sulfur billowed from their mouths.G2532G3779G1492G2462G1722G3706G2532G2521G1909G846G2192G2382G4447G2532G5191G2532G2306G2532G2776G2462G5613G2776G3023G2532G1537G846G4750G1607G4442G2532G2586G2532G230318One-third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues—by the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses.G5259G5130G5140G615G5154G444G615G1537G4442G2532G1537G2586G2532G1537G2303G3588G1607G1537G846G475019Their power was in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people.G1063G846G1849G1526G2076G1722G846G4750G2532G1722G846G3769G1063G846G3769G3664G3789G2192G2776G2532G1722G846G9120But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!G2532G3062G444G3739G615G3756G615G1722G5025G4127G3777G3340G3777G1537G2041G846G5495G3363G4352G3363G4352G1140G2532G1497G5552G2532G693G2532G5470G2532G3035G2532G3585G3739G3777G1410G991G3777G191G3777G404321And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.G2532G3756G3340G1537G846G5408G3777G1537G846G5331G3777G1537G846G4202G3777G1537G846G2809

Revelation 10

The Angel and the Small Scroll

10Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.G2532G1492G243G2478G32G2597G1537G3772G4016G3507G2532G2463G1909G846G2776G2532G846G4383G5613G2246G2532G846G4228G5613G4769G4442 2And in his hand was a small scrollc that had been opened. He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.G2532G2192G1722G846G5495G974G455G2532G5087G846G1188G4228G1909G2281G1161G2176G1909G1093 3And he gave a great shout like the roar of a lion. And when he shouted, the seven thunders answered.G2532G2896G3173G5456G5618G3023G3455G2532G3753G2896G2033G1027G2980G1438G5456 4When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Keep secretc what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down."G2532G3753G2033G1027G2980G1438G5456G3195G1125G2532G191G5456G1537G3772G3004G3427G4972G3739G2033G1027G2980G2532G1125G5023G3361 5Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand toward heaven.G2532G32G3739G1492G2476G1909G2281G2532G1909G1093G142G846G5495G1519G3772 6He swore an oath in the name of the one who lives forever and ever, who created the heavens and everything in them, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it. He said, "There will be no more delay.G2532G3660G1722G2198G1519G165G165G3739G2936G3772G2532G1722G846G2532G1093G2532G1722G846G2532G2281G2532G1722G846G3754G2071G5550G3756G2089 7When the seventh angel blows his trumpet, God's mysterious plan will be fulfilled. It will happen just as he announced it to his servants the prophets."G235G1722G2250G5456G1442G32G3752G3195G4537G2532G3466G2316G5055G5613G2097G1438G1401G4396 8Then the voice from heaven spoke to me again: "Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."G2532G5456G3739G191G1537G3772G2980G3326G1700G3825G2532G3004G5217G2983G974G3588G455G1722G5495G32G3588G2476G1909G2281G2532G1909G1093 9So I went to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. "Yes, take it and eat it," he said. "It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will turn sour in your stomach!"G2532G565G4314G32G3004G846G1325G3427G974G2532G3004G3427G2983G2532G2719G846G2719G2532G4087G4675G2836G4087G235G2071G1722G4675G4750G1099G5613G3192 10So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it turned sour in my stomach.G2532G2983G974G1537G32G5495G2532G2719G846G2719G2532G2258G1722G3450G4750G1099G5613G3192G2532G3753G5315G846G3450G2836G4087 11Then I was told, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."G2532G3004G3427G4571G1163G4395G3825G1909G4183G2992G2532G1484G2532G1100G2532G935

Revelation 11

The Two Witnesses

11Then I was given a measuring stick, and I was told, "Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers.G2532G1325G3427G2563G3664G4464G2532G32G2476G3004G1453G2532G3354G3485G2316G2532G2379G2532G4352G1722G8462But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months.G2532G833G3588G1855G2081G3485G1544G1854G2532G3354G846G3361G3754G1325G1484G2532G40G4172G3961G5062G1417G33763And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will be clothed in burlap and will prophesy during those 1,260 days."G2532G1325G3450G1417G3144G2532G4395G5507G1250G1835G2250G4016G45264These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth.G3778G1526G1417G1636G2532G1417G3087G2476G1799G2316G10935If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die.G2532G1536G846G2309G91G846G4442G1607G1537G846G4750G2532G2719G846G2190G2532G1536G2309G91G846G1163G3779G6156They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.G3778G2192G1849G2808G3772G3363G1026G5205G3363G1722G2250G846G4394G2532G2192G1849G1909G5204G4762G846G1519G129G2532G3960G1093G3956G4127G3740G1437G23097When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pitc will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them.G2532G3752G5055G846G3141G2342G305G1537G12G4160G4171G3326G846G2532G3528G846G2532G615G8468And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalemc, the city that is figuratively called "Sodom" and "Egypt," the city where their Lord was crucified.G2532G846G4430G1909G4113G3173G4172G3748G4153G2564G4670G2532G125G3699G2532G2257G2962G47179And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them.G2532G991G1537G2992G2532G5443G2532G1100G2532G1484G991G846G4430G5140G2250G2532G2255G2532G863G3756G863G846G4430G5087G1519G341810All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them.G2532G2730G1909G1093G5463G1909G846G2532G2165G2532G3992G1435G240G3754G3778G1417G4396G928G2730G1909G109311But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them.G2532G3326G5140G2250G2532G2255G4151G2222G1537G2316G1525G1909G846G2532G2476G1909G846G4228G2532G3173G5401G4098G1909G2334G84612Then a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, "Come up here!" And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.G2532G191G3173G5456G1537G3772G3004G846G305G5602G2532G305G1519G3772G1722G3507G2532G846G2190G2334G84613At the same time there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city.

The Seventh Trumpet Brings the Third Terror

15Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: "The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christc, and he will reign forever and ever."G2532G1442G32G4537G2532G1096G3173G5456G1722G3772G3004G932G2889G1096G2257G2962G2532G846G5547G2532G936G1519G165G16516The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their faces to the ground and worshiped him.G2532G5064G2532G1501G4245G3588G2521G1799G2316G1909G846G2362G4098G1909G846G4383G2532G4352G231617And they said, "We give thanks to you, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who always was, for now you have assumed your great power and have begun to reign.G3004G2168G4671G2168G2962G2316G3841G3588G5607G3801G2532G2258G3801G2532G2064G3801G3754G2983G4675G3173G1411G2532G93618The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of your wrath has come. It is time to judge the dead and reward your servants the prophets, as well as your holy people, and all who fear your name, from the least to the greatest. It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth."G2532G1484G3710G2532G4675G3709G2064G2532G2540G3498G2919G2532G1325G3408G4675G1401G4396G2532G40G2532G5399G4675G3686G3398G2532G3173G2532G1311G1311G109319Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.G2532G3485G2316G455G1722G3772G2532G3700G1722G846G3485G2787G846G1242G2532G1096G796G2532G5456G2532G1027G2532G4578G2532G3173G5464
