14:6 Then 1 I saw another 2 angel flying directly overhead, 3 and he had 4 an eternal gospel to proclaim 5 to those who live 6 on the earth – to every nation, tribe, 7 language, and people. 14:7 He declared 8 in a loud voice: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has arrived, and worship the one who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water!”
14:8 A 9 second 10 angel 11 followed the first, 12 declaring: 13 “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great city! 14 She made all the nations 15 drink of the wine of her immoral passion.” 16
14:9 A 17 third angel 18 followed the first two, 19 declaring 20 in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and takes the mark on his forehead or his hand, 14:10 that person 21 will also drink of the wine of God’s anger 22 that has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured with fire and sulfur 23 in front of the holy angels and in front of the Lamb. 14:11 And the smoke from their 24 torture will go up 25 forever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image will have 26 no rest day or night, along with 27 anyone who receives the mark of his name.” 14:12 This requires 28 the steadfast endurance 29 of the saints – those who obey 30 God’s commandments and hold to 31 their faith in Jesus. 32
14:13 Then 33 I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this:
‘Blessed are the dead,
those who die in the Lord from this moment on!’”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “so they can rest from their hard work, 34 because their deeds will follow them.” 35
