Jer. vii. 32; xvi. 4; and xix. 7.

11 and on his vesture, and on his thigh, he hath a name

written, "KING OF KINGS, AND "LORD OF LORDS."

12 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in midheaven, "Come and gather yourselves together to the great supper of God;

66

13" that ye may eat the flesh "of kings, and the flesh of "captains, and the flesh of "mighty men, and the flesh "of horses and of them that "sit on them, and the flesh “of all, both free and bond, "both small and great."

14 And I saw the wild-beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse, and against His army:

15 and the wild-beast was taken, and with him the false c. xii. 11. prophet that wrought before him the miracles with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast, and those that worshipped its image:

16 these two, were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone; and the rest were slain by the sword that proceeded out of the mouth of Him who sat on the horse: and all the birds were glutted with their flesh.

CHAPTER XX.

AND I saw an angel come

down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain, in his hand;

2 and he seized the Dragon, that ancient Serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, he who deceiveth the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years;

3 and cast him into the bottomless pit, and locked it, and sealed it over him: that he might no longer deceive the nations, until the thousand years shall be ended; but, after that, he must be loosed for a little while.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them: and I saw the souls of them c. vi. 9. that had been beheaded for the Testimony of Jesus, even for the Word of God; and who had not worshipped the beast nor its image, neither had received its mark on their foreheads, or on their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years:

the Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.

6 And after the thousand years, Satan will be loosed from his prison:

7 and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea:

8 and they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city but, fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them:

9 and the Devil, that deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also are the wild-beast and the false prophet; and they will be tormented, day and night, for ever and ever.

10 And I saw a great whitethrone, and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and no place was found for them:

11 and I saw the dead standing before the throne, and they opened the Books; and another book was opened, which is the BOOK OF LIFE: and the dead were judged from the things that were written in the Books, according to their works:

12 and the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and the grave gave up

the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one, according to their works: 13 and Death and the Grave were cast into the lake of fire; this, is the SECOND DEATH :

14 and, if any one was not found written in the BOOK OF LIFE, he was cast into the lake

of fire.

CHAPTER XXI.

c. xxi. 9.

2 Pet. iii. 13.

ND I saw a NEW HEAVEN Heb. ii. 5. and a NEW EARTH: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; the sea, also, was no more:

2 and I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband:

3 and I heard a loud voice out of heaven, saying, "Be"hold, the Tabernacle of God "is with men, and He will "dwell with them, and they "shall be His people, and God "Himself will be with them: 4" and He will wipe away

66

every tear from their eyes; c. vii. 17. "and death shall be no more, "neither sorrow, nor crying; "neither shall pain be any "more, for the former things. "are passed away!"

5 And he who sat on the throne said, "BEHOLD, I

66 MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!"
6 And he said to me, Write,

9" But, to the fearful, and

unbelieving, and sinful, and "( abominable, and murderers, "and whoremongers, and sor"cerers, and idolaters, and to "all liars, I will give them "their portion in the lake that "burneth with fire and brim"stone; which is the SECOND 66 DEATH."

10 And one of the seven angels that had the Seven Cups full of the Seven last Scourges came and spake to me, saying, "Come hither; I will shew "thee the Bride, the Wife of "the Lamb:"

11 and he carried me away, in the spirit, to a great and high mountain, and shewed me the Holy City, JERUSALEM, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God:

12 its luminary, was like a most precious stone; like a jasper stone, clear as crystal:

13 it had a great and high wall; it had twelve gates, and

at the gates twelve angels; and on the gates, were names written, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

14 on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates:

15 and the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and, on them, the names of the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

16 And he that spake to me, had for a measure a golden reed, to measure the city, and its gates:

17 and the City lieth foursquare; and its length is the same as its breadth and he measured the City with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: its length twelve thousand, and its breadth and its height are equal :

18 and its wall is an hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel :

19 and, the structure of its wall is jasper: and the city is pure gold, like to clear glass:

20 the foundations of the wall of the city, are garnished with every precious stone: the first foundation is jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 21 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,

chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst: 22 and, the twelve gates are twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city is pure gold, transparent as glass.

23 And I saw no Sanctuary in it, for the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb, are its Sanctuary:

24 and, the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it for, the Glory itself of God lighted it, and its Lamp is the Lamb.

25 And the nations shall walk

by its light; and the kings of

river, the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, and yielding, each its fruit, every month: and the leaves of the tree, were for the healing of the nations:

31 and there will be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it;

32 and his servants will serve him, and will see his face; and his name will be on their foreheads:

33 and there will be no night, and no need of a lamp, or of light; for, the Lord God will light them, and they will reign for ever and ever.

CHAPTER XXII.

26 and its gates shall not be daily shut; for there will be no night there:

27 and they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations, that they may enter into it:

28 and nothing that defileth, or that worketh abomination, or a lie, shall enter into it: but, they only who are written in the Book of Life of the Lamb. 29 And he shewed me, in the middle of its open place, a river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb;

30 and, on either side of the

"words are faithful and "true: and the Lord God of the
