d he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur before the angels and
before the Lamb. [14:11]And the smoke of their torment rises up forever
and ever, and they have no rest day nor night who worship the beast and
his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. [14:12]Here is
the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the
faith of Jesus. [14:13]And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Write,
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yes, says
the Spirit, they shall rest from their labors; and their works follow
after them.

5 [14:14]And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one
sitting like the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold and in
his hand a sharp sickle. [14:15]And another angel came out of the
temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send

the wine-press was trodden without the city, and the blood went out
from the wine-press to the horses' bridles, a distance of sixteen
hundred stadia [158 English miles].

CHAPTER IX.

THE LAST SEVEN PLAGUES OF THE KINGDOM OF THE BEAST.

1 [15:1]AND I saw another symbol in heaven, great and wonderful, seven
angels having the last seven plagues, because by them the wrath of God
was finished. [15:2]And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with
fire, and those becoming victors over the beast and his image and the
number of his name standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.
[15:3]And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song
of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God
Almighty; just and true are thy ways, king of the nations; [15:4]who
shall not fear thee, Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art
holy, for all the nations shall come and worship before thee, for th
