Revelation 14

The Lamb and the 144,000

1Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, # 14:1 Is 18:7; 24:23; Mc 4:7 and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. # 14:1 Dt 6:8; Ezk 9:4; Rv 3:12; 7:3; 9:4; 13:16; 22:4 2I heard a sound # 14:2 Or voice from heaven like the sound of cascading waters # 14:2 Ezk 1:24; 43:2; Rv 1:15; 19:6 and like the rumbling of loud thunder. The sound I heard was like harpists playing on their harps. # 14:2 Rv 5:8 3They sang # 14:3 Other mss add as it were a new song # 14:3 Rv 5:9 before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, # 14:3 Rv 4:4,6 but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, since they remained virgins. # 14:4 1Sm 21:4–5 These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were redeemed # 14:4 Other mss add by Jesus from humanity as the firstfruits # 14:4 Dt 21:17; Jr 2:3; Jms 1:18 for God and the Lamb. 5No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless. # 14:5 Zph 3:13; Jn 1:47

The Proclamation of Three Angels

6Then I saw another angel # 14:6 Rv 7:2; 8:3; 14:15,17–18; 18:1 flying high overhead, # 14:6 Rv 8:13 with the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth — to every nation, tribe, language, and people. # 14:6 Rv 5:9; 7:9; 11:9; 13:7 7He spoke with a loud voice: # 14:7 Rv 1:10; 8:13; 10:3 “Fear God # 14:7 Gn 22:12; 42:18; Ps 66:16; Ec 5:7; 12:13; Ac 13:16,26; 1Pt 2:17 and give him glory, # 14:7 Jos 7:19; 1Sm 6:5; Jr 13:16; Lk 17:18; Rv 4:9; 16:9; 19:7 because the hour of his judgment has come. # 14:7 Rv 18:10 Worship the one who made heaven and earth, # 14:7 Ps 115:15; 121:2; 124:8; 134:3; 146:6 the sea and the springs of water.”

8And another, a second angel, followed, saying, “It has fallen, Babylon the Great # 14:8 Dn 4:30; Rv 16:19; 17:5; 18:2 has fallen. # 14:8 Other mss omit the second has fallen She made all the nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality, # 14:8 Or wine of her passionate immorality which brings wrath.” # 14:8 Is 21:9; Jr 51:7–8,49; Rv 17:2,4; 18:2–3

9And another, a third angel, followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is poured full strength into the cup of his anger. # 14:10 Ps 75:8; Is 51:17; Jr 25:15–17; Rv 17:2,4; 18:2–3 He will be tormented with fire and sulfur # 14:10 Lk 17:29; Rv 20:10; 21:8 in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, 11and the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever. # 14:11 Is 1:31; 34:10; 66:24; Rv 19:3 There is no rest # 14:11 Or They have no rest,# 14:11 Ps 22:2; Is 23:12; 62:6; Jr 45:3; Lm 2:18 day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or anyone who receives the mark # 14:11 Gn 4:15; Ex 12:13; Ezk 9:4,6; Rv 13:16; 16:2; 19:20 of its name. 12This calls for endurance from the saints, # 14:12 Rv 13:10 who keep God’s commands and their faith in Jesus.” # 14:12 Or and the faith of Jesus, or and faithfulness to Jesus

13Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” # 14:13 Rv 1:3; 16:15; 19:9; 20:6; 22:7,14

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “so they will rest from their labors, since their works follow them.”

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

14Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and one like the Son of Man # 14:14 Or like a son of man,# 14:14 Dn 7:13; Lk 21:27; Rv 1:13 was seated on the cloud, with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15Another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one who was seated on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come, since the harvest of the earth is ripe.” # 14:15 Jl 3:13 16So the one seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

17Then another angel who also had a sharp sickle came out of the temple in heaven. 18Yet another angel, who had authority over fire, came from the altar, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the vineyard of the earth, because its grapes have ripened.” 19So the angel swung his sickle at the earth and gathered the grapes from the vineyard of the earth, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. # 14:19 Rv 16:19; 19:15 20Then the press was trampled outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press up to the horses’ bridles for about 180 miles. # 14:20 Lit 1,600 stadia,# 14:20 Is 63:1–6

Hisgalus 14

1And I looked, and, hinei, the SEH (Lamb, Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach) having taken his stand on Mount Tziyon and with him the 144,000 having ha-Shem of him and ha-Shem of HaAv of him which had been written on their metsakhim (foreheads).#14:1 Ezek 9:4 2And I heard a sound out of Shomayim as a sound of mayim rabbim (many waters) and as a sound of ra'am gadol (loud thunder), and the sound which I heard was as of players of the nevel playing on their nevalim (harps). 3And they sing, as it were, a Shir Chadash (New Song) before the Kes (Throne) and before the Arbah Chayyot (four living beings) and before the Zekenim#14:3 Ex 12:21 (Elders), and no one was being able to learn the Shir (Song) except the 144,000, the ones for whom the Geulah price had been paid for their redemption,#14:3 Lv 5:5-6; Ex 13:13 the ones having been redeemed (purchased) from haaretz (the earth). 4These are those who with nashim (women) are not tameh (unclean, defiled), bochrim ki betullim they are, for these are the ones following the SEH (Lamb),#14:4 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach wherever he goes. These chasidim had the Geulah price paid for their redemption,#14:4 Lv 25:50,51; Isa 61:2 the ones having been purchased from Bnei Adam as the bikkurim (firstfruits) to Hashem and to the SEH#14:4 Isa 53:7 (Lamb).#14:4 Jer 2:3 5And in the peh of them was not found MIRMAH#14:5 Isa 53:9 (deceit); they are without mumim (defects).#14:5 Ps 32:2; Zeph 3:13

6And I saw another malach (angel) flying midair in Shomayim, having the eternal Besuras HaGeulah to proclaim to the ones sitting on ha'aretz (the earth) and to every goy (nation) and shevet (tribe) and lashon (language) and am (people), 7Saying in a kol gadol (loud voice), Have yirat Shomayim toward Hashem and give Him kavod (glory), because the hour of His Yom HaMishpat has come. And worship Him, HaBoreh HaShomayim v'HaAretz (the creator of Heaven and Earth) and Yam (Sea) and ma'ayanot (springs, sources) of mayim.#14:7 Ps 34:9

8And another malach (angel), sheyni (a second one), followed, saying, NAFLAH, NAFLAH BABEL#14:8 Isa 21:9 (Fallen, fallen is Babylon) the Great, who of the yayin of the ta'avah (lust) of her zenunim (fornications) has made all the Nations to drink.#14:8 Jer 51:8

9And another malach (angel), shlishi (a third one), followed them saying, in a kol gadol (loud voice), “If anyone worships the Chayyah [Beast, Anti-Moshiach] and its Atzav#14:9 Isa 21:9 (idol, image, PESEL, graven image) and if anyone receives a mark on his metsakh (forehead) or on the yad of him, 10Such will drink of the yayin of the Charon Af Hashem (burning wrath of Hashem), having been mixed undiluted in the kos (cup) of his Charon Af, and such will be tormented by eish (fire) and gofrit (sulfur) before malachim hakedoshim (the holy angels) and before the SEH#14:10 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach (Lamb).#14:10 Isa 51:17; 66:24; Jer 25:15; 51:7 11And the smoke of their torment ascends l'Olmei Olamim, and for them there is no menuchah (place of rest) yomam valailah (day and night), none for the ones worshiping the Chayyah (Beast, Anti-Moshiach) and its Atzav (image), nor for anyone who receives the mark of its name!”#14:11 Isa 34:10

12Here is the savlanut (patient endurance) of the Kedoshim, the ones being shomer over the mitzvot of Hashem, who hold fast to the#14:12 Orthodox Jewish emunah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

13And I heard a kol (voice) out of Shomayim saying, “Write: ‘Ashrey (Happy are) are the mesim (dead ones), the ones dying in Adoneinu, from now on.’ ‘Ken,’ says the Ruach Hakodesh, ‘so that they will rest from their ma'asim, for the ma'asim of them follow them.’”

14And I looked, and, hinei, an anan (cloud) lavan (white), and on the anan (cloud) there was one sitting like the Bar Enosh.#14:14 Moshiach, Dan 7:13-14 He has on the head of him a golden Keter (Crown) and in the yad (hand) of him a sharp MAGGAL#14:14 Yoel 4:13 (sickle).#14:14 Hos 6:11; Dan 7:13 15And another malach (angel) came out of the Beis Hamikdash, crying with a kol gadol (loud voice) to the one sitting on the anan, “Put forth your MAGGAL (sickle)#14:15 Yoel 4:13 and reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the Katzir Ha'Aretz (Harvest of the Earth) is ripe!”#14:15 Jer 51:33 16And the one sitting on the anan (cloud) put forth his MAGGAL (sickle)#14:16 Yoel 4:13 on ha'aretz (the earth) and ha'aretz (the earth) was reaped.

17And another malach (angel) came out of the Beis Hamikdash in Shomayim, having also with him a sharp MAGGAL (sickle).#14:17 Yoel 4:13 18And another malach (angel) came out of the Mizbe'ach (altar), having shilton (authority) over the eish, and he spoke with a kol gadol (loud voice) to the one having the sharp MAGGAL, saying, “Put forth your sharp MAGGAL and gather the clusters of the gefen (vine) of ha'aretz, because the grapes of it are ripe.”#14:18 Isa 63:1-6 19And the malach (angel) put forth his MAGGAL to ha'aretz (the earth) and gathered the vintage of ha'aretz (the earth) and threw it into the GAT HAGEDOLAH (great winepress)#14:19 Yoel 4:13 of the Charon Af of Hashem (burning wrath of Hashem).#14:19 Isa 63:3 20And the GAT HAGEDOLAH was trodden on outside the Ir (City), and dahm (blood) came out from the GAT up to the bridles of the susim (horses) for about two hundred miles.#14:20 Isa 63:3; Yoel 4:13; Gn 49:11; Dt 32:14
