Lexicon :: Strong's G40 - hagios

“Write to the angel of the church in Philadelphia: Thus says the Holy One, the true one, the one who has the key of David, who opens and no one will close, and who closes and no one opens:

Each of the four living creatures had six wings; they were covered with eyes around and inside. Day and night they never stop,[fn] saying,

Holy, holy, holy,

Lord God, the Almighty,

who was, who is, and who is to come.

When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

They cried out with a loud voice, “Lord,[fn] the one who is holy and true, how long until you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood? ”

Another angel, with a golden incense burner, came and stood at the altar. He was given a large amount of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar in front of the throne.

“But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Don’t measure it, because it is given to the nations,[fn] and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.

The nations were angry,

but your wrath has come.

The time has come

for the dead to be judged

and to give the reward

to your servants the prophets,

to the saints, and to those who fear your name,

both small and great,

and the time has come to destroy

those who destroy the earth.

And it was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. It was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.

If anyone is to be taken captive,

into captivity he goes.

If anyone is to be killed[fn] with a sword,

with a sword he will be killed.

This calls for endurance[fn] and faithfulness from the saints.

“he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is poured full strength into the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb,

“This calls for endurance from the saints, who keep God’s commands and their faith in Jesus.”[fn]

They sang the song of God’s servant Moses and the song of the Lamb:

Great and awe-inspiring are your works,

Lord God, the Almighty;

just and true are your ways,

King of the nations.[fn]

Because they poured out

the blood of the saints and the prophets,

you have given them blood to drink;

they deserve it!

Then I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.

Rejoice over her, heaven,

and you saints, apostles, and prophets,

because God has pronounced on her the judgment she passed on you!

In her was found the blood of prophets and saints,

and of all those slaughtered on the earth.

She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure.

For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints.

Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death has no power[fn] over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

They came up across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the encampment of the saints, the beloved city. Then fire came down from heaven[fn] and consumed them.

I also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

He then carried me away in the Spirit[fn] to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

Then he said to me, “These words are faithful[fn] and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets,[fn] has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

“Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy still be filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; let the holy still be holy.”

And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, which are written about in this book.
