Revelation 14:1-13.
Revelation 14.1-13
The Lamb and His, Followers
I looked and saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion! With him were a
hundred forty-four thousand, who had his name and his Father's name
written on their foreheads. Then I heard a sound from heaven that was
like a roaring flood or loud thunder or even like the music of harps.
And a new song was being sung in front of God's throne and in front of
the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn that
song, except the one hundred forty-four thousand who had been rescued
from the earth. All of these are pure virgins, and they follow the
Lamb wherever he leads. They have been rescued to be presented to God
and the Lamb as the most precious people on earth. They never tell
lies, and they are innocent.
The Messages of the Three Angels
I saw another angel. This one was flying across the sky and had the
eternal good news to announce to the people of every race, tribe,
language, and nation on earth. The angel shouted, "Worship and honor
God! The time has come for him to judge everyone. Kneel down before
the one who created heaven and earth, the oceans, and every stream." A
second angel followed and said, "The great city of Babylon has fallen!
This is the city that made all nations drunk and immoral. Now God is
angry, and Babylon has fallen." Finally, a third angel came and
shouted:
Here is what will happen if you worship the beast and the idol and
have the mark of the beast on your hand or forehead. You will have to
drink the wine that God gives to everyone who makes him angry. You
will feel his mighty anger, and you will be tortured with fire and
burning sulfur, while the holy angels and the Lamb look on. If you
worship the beast and the idol and accept the mark of its name, you
will be tortured day and night. The smoke from your torture will go up
forever and ever, and you will never be able to rest. God's people
must learn to endure. They must also obey his commands and have faith
in Jesus. Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Put this in writing.
From now on, the Lord will bless everyone who has faith in him when
they die." The Spirit answered, "Yes, they will rest from their hard
work, and they will be rewarded for what they have done."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
