Revelation 9

The Book of Revelation

REVELATION 9

9:1The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.

9:2He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a* burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.

9:3Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

9:4They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.

9:5They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.

9:6In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

9:7The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.

9:8They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

9:9They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.

9:10They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

9:11They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon,” but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon.”

9:12The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

9:13The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

9:14saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”

9:15The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.

9:16The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

9:17Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

9:18By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

9:19For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.

9:20The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

9:21They didn’t repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.

The Book of Revelation

REVELATION 2

2:1To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:

2:2“I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

2:3You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have* not grown weary.

2:4But I have this against you, that you left your first love.

2:5Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.

2:6But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

2:7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

2:8“To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:

2:9“I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

2:10Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

2:11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.

2:12“To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:

2:13“I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

2:14But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

2:15So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise*.

2:16Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

2:17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

2:18“To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

2:19I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

2:20But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

2:21I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

2:22Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.

2:23I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

2:24But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan,’ to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.

2:25Nevertheless, hold firmly that which you have, until I come.

2:26He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

2:27He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

2:28and I will give him the morning star.

2:29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
