are like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads, are as golden crowns, and their faces, are as the faces of men: 9 and they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as those of lions:

10 and they had breastplates, as breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, when many horses are running to battle:

11 and they have tails and stings, like scorpions: and they have authority to harm men with their tails, five months:

12 and they have a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew, is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue, he hath the name Apollyon.

13 The first Wo, is past; behold, two Woes are yet to come.

14 And, after these things, the sixth angel sounded; and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

15 saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet," Loose "the four angels which are "bound at the great river Euphrates!"

16 and the four angels were loosed, who were prepared to slay the third part of the men, for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year.

17 And the number of the army of the horse (I heard

their number) was two hundred thousand thousand:

18 and I thus saw in the vision, the horses, and them who sit on them; that they have breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issueth fire and smoke and brimstone:

19 by these three things the third part of the men were killed; by the fire, and the smoke, and the brimstone, that issued out of their mouths:

20 for, the power of the horses, is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with these they hurt:

21 yet, the rest of the men, who were not killed by these scourges, repented not of the works of their hands; so as not to worship false gods, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk :

22 neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 and he had in his hand, a little book opened: and he set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the earth,

3 and cried with a loud voice, as a lion roareth: and when he had cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 And when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal the words which the up "seven thunders have spoken, "and write them not."

5 And the angel, which I saw standing on the sea and on the earth, lifted up his right hand to heaven;

6 and sware, by him who liveth for ever and ever, who

created heaven, and the things

that are in it, and the earth, and the things that are upon it, and the sea, and the things that are in it, "That TIME "shall be no longer:'

7 but that, in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall be about to "the MYSTERY OF GOD sound, "shall be finished;" as he promised to his servants the prophets.

8 And, the voice which I heard from heaven spake to me again, and said, "Go, take the little "opened book which is in the "hand of the angel that stand

4 These are the Two Olive Trees, and the Two Lamps which stand before the Lord of the earth:

5 and, if any one would harm them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any one would harm them, he must thus be killed:

6 these have authority to shut heaven, that rain fall not in the days of their prophecy : and they have authority over the waters, to turn them to blood; and to smite the earth with every scourge, as often as they will.

7 And, when they shall have finished their testimony, the wild beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit will make war against them; and will overcome them, and kill them: 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the Great City, which is spiritually called Sodom, and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified :

9 and they of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, will see their dead bodies three days and an half, and will not suffer their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb:

10 and they that inhabit the earth will rejoice over them, and make merry, and will send gifts one to another; because those two prophets tormented them that inhabit the earth.

11 But, after the three days. and half, the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell on those who saw them:

12 and I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up hither!" and they went up to heaven on a cloud, and their enemies beheld them. 13 In that day was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the City fell; and, by the va earthquake, were slain seven thousand names of men: and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second Wo is past; behold, the third Wo cometh quickly.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and loud voices were in heaven, saying, "The King"dom of the World is become John, xvii. "the Kingdom of our Lord, and "of his Christ; and he will

come, and the time of the

dead, that they should be judged;

19" and that thou shouldest "give the reward to thy ser"vants the prophets, and to thy saints, and to them that "fear thy name, small and 66 great; and that thou should"est destroy them who destroy "the earth."

20 And the Sanctuary of God was opened in heaven, and the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord was seen in his Sanctuary and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and great hail.

CHAPTER XII.

AND a great wonder appear

ed in heaven, a Woman clothed with the sun; and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars :

2 and being with child, she cried, labouring in birth and in pain to be delivered.

3 And another wonder appeared in heaven; for, behold, a great red Dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns:

4 and his tail swept away the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth and the Dragon stood before the Woman that was about to be delivered, that,

when she had brought forth, it might devour her child.

5 And she brought forth a male child, who was to rule all the nations with a rod of iron and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne: 6 and the Woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by God; that they should feed her there, a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon;

8 and the Dragon fought, and his angels, but they prevailed not; neither was place found for him any more, in heaven:

9 and the great Dragon was cast out, that ancient Serpent, which is called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole inhabited earth: he was cast out to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now is "come the salvation, and the

12 "Therefore rejoice, ye "heavens, and ye that dwell " in them!

13" Wo, to you who inhabit "the earth and the sea! for "the devil is come down to "you, having great wrath, be66 cause he knoweth that he "hath but a little time."

14 And when the Dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he pursued the Woman that had brought forth the male child:

15 but, to the Woman were given two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly to the wilderness, to her own place; that she might there be nourished, for a time, and times, and half a time, away from the face of the Serpent.

16 And the Serpent cast water out of his mouth after the Woman, as a flood, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood:

17 but, the earth helped the Woman; and opened its mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the Dragon had cast out of his mouth.

18 And the Dragon was enraged with the Woman; and went away from her, to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus.

CHAPTER XIII.

AND I stood on the sand of

the sea, and saw a wild beast rise up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads; and on its horns were ten crowns, and on its heads, names of blasphemy:

2 and, the wild beast which I saw, was like a leopard; and its feet, as those of a bear; and its mouth, as the mouth of a lion and the Dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and his great authority.

3 And I saw one of its heads, as if it had been wounded to death; yet, its deadly wound was healed, and the whole earth wondered at the beast: 4 and they gave worship to the Dragon, which gave the authority to the wild beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like to the "beast? Who is able to make war with it?"

5 and a mouth was given to it, speaking great things, even blasphemies; blasphemies; and authority was given to it to act, for forty and two months:

6 and it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and those who dwell in his tabernacle in heaven:

7 and it was granted to it, to make war with the saints and to overcome them: and
