Revelation 14:2-8

Revelation 14:2-8 CSB

I heard a sound  from heaven like the sound of cascading waters  and like the rumbling of loud thunder. The sound I heard was like harpists playing on their harps.  They sang  a new song  before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders,  but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, since they remained virgins.  These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed  from humanity as the firstfruits  for God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.  Then I saw another angel  flying high overhead,  with the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth — to every nation, tribe, language, and people.  He spoke with a loud voice:  “Fear God  and give him glory,  because the hour of his judgment has come.  Worship the one who made heaven and earth,  the sea and the springs of water.” And another, a second angel, followed, saying, “It has fallen, Babylon the Great  has fallen.  She made all the nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality,  which brings wrath.”
