who testified to the word of God and to the testimony[fn] of Jesus Christ, whatever he saw.[fn]

Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid. I am the First and the Last,

“Therefore write what you have seen, what is, and what will take place after this.

“I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.

“I know your[fn] affliction and poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

“I know[fn] where you live ​— ​where Satan’s throne is. Yet you are holding on to my name and did not deny your faith in me,[fn] even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness who was put to death among you, where Satan lives.

“I know your works ​— ​your love, faithfulness,[fn] service, and endurance. I know that your last works are greater than the first.

“Write to the angel[fn] of the church in Sardis: Thus says the one who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works; you have a reputation[fn] for being alive, but you are dead.

“I know your works. Look, I have placed before you an open door that no one can close because you have but little power; yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot.

“For you say, ‘I’m rich; I have become wealthy and need nothing,’ and you don’t realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.

After this I looked, and there in heaven was an open door. The first voice that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white clothes, with golden crowns on their heads.

Then I saw in the right hand of the one seated on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides, sealed with seven seals.

Then I saw one like a slaughtered lamb standing in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth.

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands.

Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven[fn] seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come! ”

When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come! ” And I looked, and there was a black horse. Its rider held a set of scales in his hand.

And I looked, and there was a pale green[fn] horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following after him. They were[fn] given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.

Then I saw him open[fn] the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of hair; the entire moon[fn] became like blood;

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.

After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands.

I said to him, “Sir,[fn] you know.”

Then he told me: These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Then I saw the seven angels who stand in the presence of God; seven trumpets were given to them.

I looked and heard an eagle[fn] flying high overhead, crying out in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to sound! ”

The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth. The key for the shaft to the abyss was given to him.

This is how I saw the horses and their riders in the vision: They had breastplates that were fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.

Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head.[fn] His face was like the sun, his legs[fn] were like pillars of fire,

Then the angel that I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.

Therefore rejoice, you heavens,

and you who dwell in them!

Woe to the earth and the sea,

because the devil has come down to you

with great fury,

because he knows his time is short.

And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten crowns,[fn] and on its heads were blasphemous names.[fn]

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb,[fn] but it spoke like a dragon.

Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.

Then I saw another angel flying high overhead, with the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth ​— ​to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and one like the Son of Man[fn] was seated on the cloud, with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

Then I saw another great and awe-inspiring sign[fn] in heaven: seven angels with the seven last plagues; for with them God’s wrath will be completed.

After this I looked, and the heavenly temple ​— ​the tabernacle of testimony ​— ​was opened.

Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming from the dragon’s mouth, from the beast’s mouth, and from the mouth of the false prophet.

Then he carried me away in the Spirit[fn] to a wilderness.

I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered[fn] with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

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.
