1The revelation of Yeshiva
Messiah, which Ja gave him to show his servants [Gr servant/slave] what must soon
take place; he made it known by sending his angel [servant/son of Ja])
to his servant [Gr servant/slave] John, 2 who
testified to the word of Ja and to the testimony of Yeshiva Messiah,
even to all that he saw.
3 Blessed is the
one who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those
who hear and who keep what is written in it; for the time is near. 4 John
to the seven communities that are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from him who is
and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before
his throne, 5 and from Yeshiva Messiah, the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and freed [washed] us from our sins by his blood,
6 and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his Ja and
Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Look!
He is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, even those who
pierced him; and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail.
So it is to be. Amen. 8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega,"
says the Lord Ja, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 I, John, your brother
who share with you in Yeshiva the persecution and the kingdom and the
patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos because of the word
of Ja and the testimony of Yeshiva. [or 'to' Yeshiva] 10 I
was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice
like a trumpet 11 saying, "Write in a book what you
see and send it to the seven communities., to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to
Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
12 Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me,
and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in
the midst of the lampstands I saw one like the Son of Man, clothed with
a long robe and with a golden sash across his chest. 14 His
head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes
were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished
bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of
many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and
from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like
the sun shining with full force. 17 When I saw him, I fell
at his feet as though dead. But he placed his right hand on me, saying,
"Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, 18 and
the living one. I was dead, and see, I am alive forever and ever; and
I have the keys of Death and of Hades. 19 Now write what
you have seen, what is, and what is to take place after this. 20 As
for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and
the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels [servants/sons
of Ja] of the seven communities, and the seven lampstands are the seven
communities.

To
the one who conquers I will also give the morning star
1"To the angel of
the communities in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds
the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden
lampstands: 2 "I know your works, your toil and your
patient endurance. I know that you cannot tolerate evildoers; you have
tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them
to be false. 3 I also know that you are enduring patiently
and bearing up for the sake of my name, and that you have not grown
weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned
the love you had at first. 5 Remember then from what you
have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will
come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
6 Yet this is to your credit: you hate the works of the
Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 Let anyone who has an
ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the communities.. To everyone
who conquers, I will give permission to eat from the tree of life that
is in the paradise of Ja.
8 "And to the
angel of the communities in Smyrna write: These are the words of the
first and the last, who was dead and came to life: 9 "I
know your affliction and your poverty, even though you are rich. I know
the slander on the part of those who say that they are Jews and are
not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you
are about to suffer. Beware, the devil is about to throw some of you
into prison so that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have
affliction. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of
life. 11 Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit
is saying to the communities.. Whoever conquers will not be harmed by
the second death.
12 "And to the
angel of the community in Pergamum write: These are the words of him
who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 "I know where
you are living, where Satan's throne is. Yet you are holding fast to
my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my
witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan lives.
14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there
who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling
block before the people of Israel, so that they would eat food sacrificed
to idols and practice fornication. 15 So you also have some
who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Repent then.
If not, I will come to you soon and make war against them with the sword
of my mouth. 17 Let anyone who has an ear listen to what
the Spirit is saying to the communities. To
everyone who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will
give a white stone, and on the white stone is written a new name that
no one knows except the one who receives it.
18 "And to the
angel of the community in Thyatira write: These are the words of the
Son of Ja, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like
burnished bronze: 19 "I know your works—your love,
faith, service, and patient endurance. I know that your last works are
greater than the first. 20 But I have this against you:
you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet and is
teaching and beguiling my servants to practice fornication and to eat
food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent,
but she refuses to repent of her fornication. 22 Beware,
I am throwing her on a bed, and those who commit adultery with her I
am throwing into great distress, unless they repent of her doings; 23 and
I will strike her children dead. And all the communities will know that
I am the one who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each
of you as your works deserve. 24 But to the rest of you
in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what
some call "the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I do not lay
on you any other burden; 25 only hold fast to what you have
until I come. 26 To everyone who conquers and continues
to do my works to the end, I will give authority over the nations; 27 to
rule [shepherd] them with an iron rod, as when clay pots are shattered—
28 even as I also received authority from my Father. To
the one who conquers I will also give the morning star.29 Let
anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the communities.

1"And to the angel of the community in
Sardis write: These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of
Ja and the seven stars:
"I know your works; you have a name
of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen
what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your
works perfect in the sight of my Ja. 3 Remember then what
you received and heard; obey it, and repent. If you do not wake up,
I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will
come to you. 4 Yet you have still a few persons in Sardis
who have not soiled their clothes; they will walk with me, dressed in
white, for they are worthy. 5 If you conquer, you will be
clothed like them in white robes, and I will not blot your name out
of the book of life; I will confess your name before my Father and before
his angels. 6 Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the
Spirit is saying to the communities.
7 "And to the
angel of the community in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the
holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one
will shut, who shuts and no one opens: 8 "I know your
works. Look, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able
to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept
my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those
of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but
are lying—I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they
will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept
my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial
that is coming on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
11 I am coming soon; hold fast to what you have, so that
no one may seize your crown. 12 If you conquer, I will make
you a pillar in the temple of my Ja; you will never go out of it. I
will write on you the name of my Ja, and the name of the city of my
Ja, the new Jerusalem that comes down from my Ja out of heaven, and
my own new name. 13 Let anyone who has an ear listen to
what the Spirit is saying to the communities.
14 "And to the
angel of the community in Laodicea write: The words of the Amen, the
faithful and true witness, the origin F12 of Ja's creation: 15 "I
know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were
either cold or hot. 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 For
you say, "I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing.' You
do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
18 Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by
fire so that you may be rich; and white robes to clothe you and to keep
the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and salve to anoint your
eyes so that you may see. 19 I reprove and discipline those
whom I love. Be earnest, therefore, and repent. 20 Listen!
I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the
door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me. 21 To
the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my throne, just
as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Let
anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the communities."
Four
1 After this I looked,
and there in heaven a door stood open! And the first voice, which I
had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and
I will show you what must take place after this." 2 At
once I was in the spirit, and there in heaven stood a throne, with one
seated on the throne! 3 And the one seated there
looks like jasper and carnelian, and around the throne is a rainbow
that looks like an emerald. 4 Around the throne are
twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones are twenty-four elders,
dressed in white robes, with golden crowns on their heads. 5 Coming
from the throne are flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of
thunder, and in front of the throne burn seven flaming torches, which
are the seven spirits of Ja; 6 and in front of the
throne there is something like a sea of glass, like crystal.
Around the throne, and on each side of
the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:
7 the first living creature like a lion, the second
living creature like an ox, the third living creature with a face like
a human face, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.
8 And the four living
creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around
and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing, "Holy, holy,
holy, the Lord Ja the Almighty, who was and is and is to come."
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and
honor and thanks to the one who is seated on the throne, who lives forever
and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall before the
one who is seated on the throne and worship the one who lives forever
and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne, singing, 11 "You
are worthy, our Lord and Ja, to receive glory and honor and power, for
you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."
'Where the Eagles
are gathered there you shall find the body (of the Messiah)'

1 Then I saw in the
right hand of the one seated on the throne a scroll written on the inside
and on the back, sealed with seven seals; 2 and I
saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy
to open the scroll and break its seals?" 3 And
no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the
scroll or to look into it. 4 And I began to weep
bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look
into it. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do
not weep. See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has
conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."
6 Then I saw between
the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders a Lamb
standing as if it had been slaughtered, having seven horns and seven
eyes, which are the seven spirits of Ja sent out into all the earth.
7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand
of the one who was seated on the throne. 8 When he
had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four
elders fell before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full
of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 They
sing a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open
its seals, for you were slaughtered and by your blood you ransomed for
Ja saints from every tribe and language and people and nation; 10 you
have made them to be a kingdom and priests serving our Ja, and they
will reign on earth." 11 Then I looked, and
I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and the living
creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands
of thousands, 12 singing with full voice, "Worthy
is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom
and might and honor and glory and blessing!" 13 Then
I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and
in the sea, and all that is in them, singing, "To the one seated
on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might
forever and ever!" 14 And the four living creatures
said, "Amen!" And the elders fell down and worshiped.
Six
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Red, White, Black and Pale Green Apocalytic Wrath. Terrible
and Dreadful.
1 Then I saw the
Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living
creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder, "Come!" [or
'Go] 2 I looked, and there was a white horse! Its
rider had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering
and to conquer.
3 When he opened
the second seal, I heard the second living creature call out, "Come!"
[or 'Go']4 And out
came another horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace
from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another; and he was
given a great sword. 5 When he opened the third seal,
I heard the third living creature call out, "Come!" I looked,
and there was a black horse! Its rider held a pair of scales in his
hand, 6 and I heard what seemed to be a voice in
the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat
for a denarius, [a day's wages] and three quarts of barley for a denarius,
but do not damage the oil and the wine!" 7 When
he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature
call out, "Come!" 8 I looked and there
was a pale green horse! Its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed
with him; they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill
with sword, famine, and pestilence, and by the wild animals of the earth.
9 When he opened
the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been
slaughtered for the word of Ja and for the testimony they had given;
10 they cried out with a loud voice, "Sovereign
Lord, holy and true, how long will it be before you judge and avenge
our blood on the inhabitants of the earth?" 11 They
were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until
the number would be complete both of their fellow servants and of their
brothers and sisters, who were soon to be killed as they themselves
had been killed. 12 When he opened the sixth seal,
I looked, and there came a great earthquake; the sun became black as
sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and
the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree drops its winter
fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 The sky vanished
like a scroll rolling itself up, and every mountain and island was removed
from its place. 15Then the kings of the earth
and the magnates and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and
everyone, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the
mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, "Fall
on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and
from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 for the great day of their
wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
Seven
The 144,00 of the 12 Tribes of Isreal are sealed.
1 After this I saw
four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back
the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on earth or sea
or against any tree. 2 I saw another angel ascending
from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living Ja, and he
called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power
to damage earth and sea, 3 saying, "Do not damage
the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have marked the servants
of our Ja with a seal on their foreheads." 4 And
I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four
thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the people of Israel: 5 From
the tribe of Judah twelve thousand sealed, from the tribe of Reuben
twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, 6 from
the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve
thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, 7 from
the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, 8 from
the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve
thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand sealed. 9 After
this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count,
from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing
before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches
in their hands. 10 They cried out in a loud voice,
saying, "Salvation belongs to our Ja who is seated on the throne,
and to the Lamb!" 11 And all the angels stood
around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures,
and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped Ja, 12 singing,
"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor
and power and might be to our Ja forever and ever! Amen."
13 Then one of the
elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, robed in white, and
where have they come from?" 14 I said to him,
"Sir, you are the one that knows." Then he said to me, "These
are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their
robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 For
this reason they are before the throne of Ja, and worship him day and
night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will
shelter them. 16 They will hunger no more, and thirst
no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; 17 for
the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he
will guide them to springs of the water of life, and Ja will wipe away
every tear from their eyes."
Eight
Apocalytic Wrath. Terrible and Dreadful.
1 When the Lamb opened
the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before Ja,
and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 Another
angel with a golden censer came and stood at the altar; he was given
a great quantity of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints
on the golden altar that is before the throne. 4 And
the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before
Ja from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took
the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the
earth; and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning,
and an earthquake. 6 Now the seven angels who had
the seven trumpets made ready to blow them.
7 The first angel
blew his trumpet, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and
they were hurled to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up,
and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned
up. 8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something
like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea. 9 A
third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the
sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. 10 The
third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing
like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs
of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A
third of the waters became wormwood, and many died from the water, because
it was made bitter. 12 The fourth angel blew his
trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon,
and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened;
a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise the night. 13 Then
I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew in
midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, at the
blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!"
THE
JEWISH ANTICHRIST: THE IMPOSTOR: THE GREAT DECEIVER THE KABBALIST (SATANIST) CULT OF THE ANTICHRIST
Nine Apocalytic Wrath. Terrible
and Dreadful.
4 Servants must make ready to kill a third of mankind.
1 And the fifth angel
blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth,
and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit; 2 he
opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke
like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened
with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke
came locusts on the earth, and they were given authority like the authority
of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to
damage the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only
those people who do not have the seal of Ja on their foreheads. 5 They
were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them,
and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings
someone. 6 And in those days people will seek death
but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from
them. 7 In appearance the locusts were like horses
equipped for battle. On their heads were what looked like crowns of
gold; their faces were like human faces, 8 their
hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they
had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was
like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They
have tails like scorpions, with stingers, and in their tails is their
power to harm people for five months. 11 They have
as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew
is Abaddon, [meaning 'Destruction] and in Greek he is called Apollyon.
[meaning Destroyer] 12 The first woe has passed.
There are still two woes to come.
13 Then the sixth
angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the
golden altar before Ja, 14 saying to the sixth angel
who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at
the great river Euphrates." 15So the four
angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day,
the month, and the year, to kill a third of humankind. 16 The
number of the troops of cavalry was two hundred million; I heard their
number.17 And this was how I saw the horses
in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of
sapphire [hyacinth] and of sulfur; the heads of the horses were like
lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths.
18 By these three plagues a third of humankind was
killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths
and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, having heads; and
with them they inflict harm. 20 The rest of humankind,
who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of
their hands or give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver
and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk. 21And
they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their fornication
or their thefts.
THE MYSTERIES
Ten Apocalytic Wrath. Terrible
and Dreadful.
The Seven Thunders, that are not to be revealed until the 7th Servant
blows his Trumpet (battle command of War).
1 And I saw another
mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow
over his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars
of fire. 2 He held a little scroll open in his hand.
Setting his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 he
gave a great shout, like a lion roaring. And when he shouted, the seven
thunders sounded. 4 And when the seven thunders had
sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying,
"Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it
down." 5 Then the angel whom I saw standing
on the sea and the land raised his right hand to heaven 6 and
swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what
is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it:
"There will be no more delay, 7 but in the days
when the seventh angel is to blow his trumpet, the mystery of Ja will
be fulfilled, as he announced to his servants the prophets."
8 Then the voice
that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, "Go, take
the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on
the sea and on the land." 9 So I went to the
angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me,
"Take it, and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet
as honey in your mouth." 10 So I took the little
scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it; it was sweet as honey
in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11 Then
they said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples and
nations and languages and kings."
Eleven
The Two Witnesses.
1 Then I was given
a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, "Come and measure
the temple of Ja and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but
do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it
is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city
for forty-two months.
3 And I will grant
my two witnesses authority to prophesy for one thousand two hundred
sixty days, wearing sackcloth." 4 These are
the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord
of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them,
fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes; anyone who wants
to harm them must be killed in this manner. 6 They
have authority to shut the sky, so that no rain may fall during the
days of their prophesying, and they have authority over the waters to
turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague,
as often as they desire. 7 When they have finished
their testimony, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will
make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and
their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that is prophetically[Gk.
Or allegorically or spiritually i.e., not literally]called Sodom and Egypt,
where also their Lord was crucified. 9 For three
and a half days members of the peoples and tribes and languages and
nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed
in a tomb; 10 and the inhabitants of the earth will
gloat over them and celebrate and exchange presents, because these two
prophets had been a torment to the inhabitants of the earth. 11 But
after the three and a half days, the breath of life from Ja entered
them, and they stood on their feet, and those who saw them were terrified.
12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying
to them, "Come up here!" And they went up to heaven in a cloud
while their enemies watched them. 13 At that moment
there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand
people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and
gave glory to the Ja of heaven.
14 The second woe
has passed. The third woe is coming very soon. 15 Then
the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven,
saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our
Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever." 16 Then
the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before Ja fell on their
faces and worshiped Ja, 17 singing, "We give
you thanks, Lord Ja Almighty, who are and who were, for you have taken
your great power and begun to reign. 18 The nations
raged, but your wrath has come, and the time for judging the dead, for
rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints and all who fear your
name, both small and great, and for destroying those who destroy the
earth." 19 Then Ja's temple in heaven was opened,
and the ark of Ja's covenant was seen within his temple; and there were
flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and

The Birth of the Messiah.
And she brought forth
a male child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: but her
child was caught up unto Ja, and to his throne.
1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained
to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and
behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven
crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars
of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before
the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as
soon as it was born.
5 And she brought
forth a male child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:
but her child was caught up unto Ja, and to his throne. 6 And the woman
fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of Ja, that
they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against
the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not;
neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon
was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth
the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now
is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Ja, and the
power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our Ja day and night. 11 And they overcame
him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and
they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye
heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth
and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath,
because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13 And when the dragon
saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought
forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great
eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where
she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face
of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a
flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of
the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her
mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with
the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Ja, and have
the testimony of Yeshiva Messiah.

The Two Beasts: the False Prophet and the Antichrist 666
1 And I saw a beast
rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads; and on its
horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names. 2 And
the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's,
and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave it his power
and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its
heads seemed to have received a death-blow, but its mortal wound [Gk. the plague of its death] had been healed. In amazement
the whole earth followed the beast. 4 They worshiped
the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped
the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against
it?" 5 The beast was given a mouth uttering
haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority
for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter
blasphemies against Ja, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that
is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed
to make war on the saints and to conquer them. It was given authority
over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and
all the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, everyone whose name
has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of
life of the Lamb that was slaughtered. 9 Let anyone
who has an ear listen: 10 If you are to be taken
captive, into captivity you go; if you kill with the sword, with the
sword you must be killed. Here is a call for the endurance and faith
of the saints.
11 Then I saw another
beast that rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it
spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority
of the first beast on its behalf, and it makes the earth and its inhabitants
worship the first beast, whose mortal wound [Gk whose plague of its death] had been healed. 13 It
performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth
in the sight of all; 14 and by the signs that it
is allowed to perform on behalf of the beast, it deceives the inhabitants
of earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that had been
wounded by the sword [Or: that had received the plague of the sword] and yet lived; 15 and
it was allowed to give breath [Or 'spirit'] to the image of the beast
so that the image of the beast could even speak and cause those who
would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 Also
it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and
slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so
that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark, that is, the
name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This
calls for wisdom: let anyone with understanding calculate the number
of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred
sixty-six.

The Separation of the wheat from the chaff
"Use
your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest
of the earth is fully ripe."
1 Then I looked,
and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion! And with him were one
hundred forty-four thousand who had
his name and Ja's name written on their foreheads. 2 And
I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the
sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpists
playing on their harps, 3 and they sing a new song
before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the
elders. No one could learn that song except the one hundred forty-four
thousand who have been redeemed from the earth. 4 It
is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins;
these follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been redeemed from
humankind as first fruits for Ja and the Lamb, 5 and
in their mouth no lie was found; they are blameless.
6 Then I saw another
angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those
who live on the earth—to every nation and tribe and language and people.
7 He said in a loud voice, "Fear Ja and give
him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who
made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water." 8 Then
another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon
the great! She has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of
her fornication." 9 Then another angel, a third,
followed them, crying with a loud voice, "Those who worship the
beast and its image, and receive a mark on their foreheads or on their
hands, 10 they will also drink the wine of Ja's wrath,
poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and they will be tormented
with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence
of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes
up forever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship
the beast and its image and for anyone who receives the mark of its
name." 12 Here is a call for the endurance of
the saints, those who keep the commandments of Ja and hold fast to the
faith of Yeshiva.
13 And I heard a voice
from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who from
now on die in the Lord." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they
will rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them." 14 Then
I looked, and there was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one
like the Son of Man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle
in his hand!15 Another angel came out of the
temple, calling with a loud voice to the one who sat on the cloud, "Use
your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest
of the earth is fully ripe." 16 So the one who
sat on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was
reaped. 17 Then another angel came out of the temple
in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18 Then
another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over
fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle,
"Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the
earth, for its grapes are ripe." 19 So the angel
swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth,
and he threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of Ja. 20 And
the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the
wine press, as high as a horse's bridle, for a distance of about one thousand six hundred stadia[two hundred miles].
Fifteen
1 Then I saw another
portent in heaven, great and amazing: seven angels with seven plagues,
which are the last, for with them the wrath of Ja is ended. 2 And
I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those
who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name,
standing beside the sea of glass with harps of Ja in their hands. 3 And
they sing the ages [or 'nations'] 4 Lord, who will
not fear and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations
will come and worship before you, for your judgments have been revealed."
5 After this I looked,
and the temple of the tent [or 'tabernacle] of witness in heaven was
opened, 6 and out of the temple came the seven angels
with the seven plagues, robed in pure bright linen,with golden sashes
across their chests. 7 Then one of the four living
creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath
of Ja, who lives forever and ever; 8 and the temple
was filled with smoke from the glory of Ja and from his power, and no
one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels
were ended.
Sixteen
1 Then I heard a
loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, "Go and pour
out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of Ja." 2 So
the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and a foul and
painful sore came on those who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped
its image. 3 The second angel poured his bowl into
the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living
thing in the sea died. 4 The third angel poured his
bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, "You
are just, O Holy One, who are and were, for you have judged these things;
6 because they shed the blood of saints and prophets,
you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!" 7 And
I heard the altar respond, "Yes, O Lord Ja, the Almighty, your
judgments are true and just!"
8 The fourth angel
poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with
fire; 9 they were scorched by the fierce heat, but
they cursed the name of Ja, who had authority over these plagues, and
they did not repent and give him glory. 10 The fifth
angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was
plunged into darkness; people gnawed their tongues in agony, 11 and
cursed the Ja of heaven because of their pains and sores, and they did
not repent of their deeds.
12 The sixth angel
poured his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried
up in order to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And
I saw three foul spirits like frogs coming from the mouth of the dragon,
from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet.
14 These are demonic spirits, performing signs, who
go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle
on the great day of Ja the Almighty. 15 ("See,
I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and is
clothed, not going about naked and exposed to shame.") 16 And
they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Harmagedon.
17 The seventh angel
poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple,
from the throne, saying, "It is done!" 18 And
there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a
violent earthquake, such as had not occurred since people were upon
the earth, so violent was that earthquake. 19 The
great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations
fell. Ja remembered great Babylon and gave her the wine-cup of the fury
of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and
no mountains were to be found; 21 and huge hailstones,
each weighing about 75 pounds, [a Greek telent] dropped
from heaven on people, until they cursed Ja for the plague of the hail,
so fearful was that plague.
Seventeen Babylon the great, mother of whores and of earth's abominations.
drunk with the blood of the marytrs
The Ten Kings without kingdoms shall make war on the Messiah and the
Messiah shall conquer them.
1 Then one of the
seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come,
I will show you the judgment of the great whore who is seated on many
waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed
fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the inhabitants
of the earth have become drunk." 3 So he carried
me away in the spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on
a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven
heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was clothed in purple
and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in
her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her
fornication; 5 and on her forehead was written a
name, a mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of whores and of earth's
abominations." 6 And I saw that the woman was
drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the witnesses to
Yeshiva. When I saw her, I was greatly amazed.
7 But the angel said
to me, "Why are you so amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the
woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries
her. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and
is about to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And
the inhabitants of the earth, whose names have not been written in the
book of life from the foundation of the world, will be amazed when they
see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. 9 "This
calls for a mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains
on which the woman is seated; also, they are seven kings, 10 of
whom five have fallen, one is living, and the other has not yet come;
and when he comes, he must remain only a little while. 11 As
for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to
the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12 And the
ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom,
but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with
the beast. 13 These are united in yielding their
power and authority to the beast;
14they will make
war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord
of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen
and faithful." 15 And he said to me, "The
waters that you saw, where the whore is seated, are peoples and multitudes
and nations and languages. 16 And the ten horns that
you saw, they and the beast will hate the whore; they will make her
desolate and naked; they will devour her flesh and burn her up with
fire. 17 For Ja has put it into their hearts to carry
out his purpose by agreeing to give their kingdom to the beast, until
the words of Ja will be fulfilled. 18 The woman you
saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."
Eighteen
The Fall of Babylon
1 After this I saw
another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the
earth was made bright with his splendor. 2 He called
out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit,
a haunt of every foul bird, a haunt of every foul and hateful beast.
3 For she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,
and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and
the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxury."
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
"Come out of her, my people, so that you do not take part in her
sins, and so that you do not share in her plagues; 5 for
her sins are heaped high as heaven, and Ja has remembered her iniquities.
6 Render to her as she herself has rendered, and
repay her double for her deeds; mix a double draught for her in the
cup she mixed. 7 As she glorified herself and lived
luxuriously, so give her a like measure of torment and grief. Since
in her heart she says, "I rule as a queen; I am no widow, and I
will never see grief,' 8 therefore her plagues will
come in a single day— pestilence and mourning and famine— and she will
be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord Ja who judges her."
9 And the kings of
the earth, who committed fornication and lived in luxury with her, will
weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning; 10 they
will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas, alas,
the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your judgment
has come." 11 And the merchants of the earth
weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo
of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet,
all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly
wood, bronze, iron, and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice,
incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, choice flour and wheat,
cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves—and human lives. 14 "The
fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your dainties
and your splendor are lost to you, never to be found again!" 15 The
merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far
off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud, 16 "Alas,
alas, the great city, clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 17 For
in one hour all this wealth has been laid waste!"
And all shipmasters and seafarers, sailors
and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and
cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was
like the great city?" 19 And they threw dust
on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas,
the great city, where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth!
For in one hour she has been laid waste." 20 Rejoice
over her, O heaven, you saints and apostles and prophets! For Ja has
given judgment for you against her. 21 Then a mighty
angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea,
saying, "With such violence Babylon the great city will be thrown
down, and will be found no more; 22 and the sound
of harpists and minstrels and of flutists and trumpeters will be heard
in you no more; and an artisan of any trade will be found in you no
more; and the sound of the millstone will be heard in you no more; 23 and
the light of a lamp will shine in you no more; and the voice of bridegroom
and bride will be heard in you no more; for your merchants were the
magnates of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.
24 And in you was found the blood of prophets and
of saints, and of all who have been slaughtered on earth."
Nineteen
The Defeat of the Antichrist, the False Prophet and their armies
1 After this I heard
what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,
"Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power to our Ja, 2 for
his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great whore who corrupted
the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood
of his servants." 3 Once more they said, "Hallelujah!
The smoke goes up from her forever and ever." 4 And
the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped
Ja who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"
5 And from the throne
came a voice saying, "Praise our Ja, all you his servants, and
all who fear him, small and great." 6 Then I
heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound
of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying out,
"Hallelujah! For the Lord our Ja the Almighty reigns. 7 Let
us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the
Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready; 8 to
her it has been granted to be clothed with fine linen, bright and pure"—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. 9 And
the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited
to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These
are true words of Ja." 10 Then I fell down at
his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that!
I am a fellow servant with you and your comrades [brothers] who hold
the testimony of Yeshiva. Worship Ja! For the testimony of Yeshiva is
the spirit of prophecy."
11Then I saw heaven
opened, and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and
True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His
eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and
he has a name inscribed that no one knows but himself. 13 He
is clothed in a robe dipped in blood [or sprinkled with blood], and
his name is called The Word of Ja. 14 And the armies of
heaven, wearing fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white
horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which
to strike down the nations, and he will rule them [shepherd them]
with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the
wrath of Ja the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh
he has a name inscribed, "King of kings and Lord of lords."
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud
voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, "Come,
gather for the great supper of Ja, 18 to eat the flesh of
kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of the mighty, the flesh of
horses and their riders—flesh of all, both free and slave, both small
and great." 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of
the earth with their armies gathered to make war against the rider on
the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured,
and with it the false prophet who had performed in its presence the
signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast
and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into
the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest
were killed by the sword of the rider on the horse, the sword that came
from his mouth; and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
Twenty
The Defeat of Satan (enemy). The 1000 Year reign of the righteous.
1 Then I saw an angel
coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless
pit and a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that
ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand
years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and locked and
sealed it over him, so that he would deceive the nations no more, until
the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let out for a little
while. 4 Then I saw thrones, and those seated on
them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who
had been beheaded for their testimony to Yeshiva and for the word of
Ja. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received
its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned
with Messiah a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the
dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This
is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are
those who share in the first resurrection. Over these the second death
has no power, but they will be priests of Ja and of Messiah, and they
will reign with him a thousand years. 7 When the
thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and
will come out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth,
Gog and Magog, in order to gather them for battle; they are as numerous
as the sands of the sea. 9 They marched up over the
breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved
city. And fire came down from heaven and consumed them. 10 And
the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and
sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be
tormented day and night forever and ever.
11 Then I saw a great
white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heaven fled
from his presence, and no place was found for them. 12 And
I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books
were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. And the
dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books.13 And
the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the
dead that were in them, and all were judged according to what they had
done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the
lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; 15 and
anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown
into the lake of fire
Gog and Magog, once nations
were terms used to describe the barbaric regions to the North of Judea.

The Architectural Sketch of the 1500 mile Square, New City of Jerusalem.
1 Then I saw a new
heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had
passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw
the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Ja,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "See, the home [taberanacle] of Ja is among mortals. He
will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and Ja himself will
be with them; 4 he will wipe every tear from their
eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no
more, for the first things have passed away." 5 And
the one who was seated on the throne said, "See, I am making all
things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are
trustworthy and true." 6 Then he said to me,
"It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the
end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the
water of life. 7Those who conquer will inherit
these things, and I will be their Ja and they will be my children. 8 But
as for the cowardly, the faithless, [ or 'the unbelievers] the polluted,
the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all
liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur,
which is the second death."
9 Then one of the
seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues
came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife
of the Lamb." 10 And in the spirit he carried
me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem
coming down out of heaven from Ja. 11 It has the
glory of Ja and a radiance like a very rare jewel, like jasper, clear
as crystal. 12 It has a great, high wall with twelve
gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates are inscribed
the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites; 13 on
the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates,
and on the west three gates. 14And the wall of
the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of
the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked
to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates
and walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same
as its width; and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand
stadia [fifteen hundred miles]; its length and width and height
are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four
cubits [225 feet] by human measurement, which the angel was using.
18 The wall is built of jasper, while the city is
pure gold, clear as glass. 19 The foundations of
the wall of the city are adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper,
the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the
fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth
beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth,
the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates are
twelve pearls, each of the gates is a single pearl, and the street of
the city is pure gold, transparent as glass. 22I
saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord Ja the Almighty
and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun
or moon to shine on it, for the glory of Ja is its light, and its lamp
is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light,
and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 Its
gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. 26 People
will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But
nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination
or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

1 Then the angel
showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing
from the throne of Ja and of the Lamb 2 through the
middle of the street of the city. In the middle of the street of the
city, and on either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve
kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the
tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 Nothing
accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of Ja and of the
Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him; 4 they
will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And
there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for
the Lord Ja will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
6 And he said to
me, "These words are trustworthy and true, for the Lord, the Ja
of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants
what must soon take place." 7 "See, I am
coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy
of this book." 8 I, John, am the one who heard
and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to
worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me; 9 but
he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with
you and your comrades [brothers] the prophets, and with those
who keep the words of this book. Worship Ja!" 10 And
he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this
book, for the time is near. 11 Let the evildoer still
do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do
right, and the holy still be holy." 12 "See,
I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone's
work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first
and the last, the beginning and the end." 14 Blessed
are those who wash their robes, [0r 'Do his commandments] so that they
will have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the
gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and
fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and
practices falsehood. 16 "It is I, Yeshiva, who
sent my angel to you with this testimony for the communities. I am the
root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star." 17 The
Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let everyone who hears
say, "Come." And let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone
who wishes take the water of life as a gift. 18 I
warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone
adds to them, Ja will add to that person the plagues described in this
book; 19 if anyone takes away from the words of the
book of this prophecy, Ja will take away that person's share in the
tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 The one who testifies to these things says, "Surely
I am coming soon."
Amen. Come, Lord Yeshiva! 21 The
grace of the Lord Yeshiva be with all the saints. Amen.
