Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in Heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world have been made those of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!

Then the temple of God in Heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, voices, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

And the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of Heaven, from the throne, saying, It is finished!

And behold a voice out of heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last; and, What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.

And he said to me, Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true sayings of God.

And He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He says to me, Write, for these Words are true and faithful.

Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no authority, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold the tears of the oppressed ones, and they had no comforter! And on the side of those who oppressed them there was power, but they had no comforter.

Therefore I congratulated the dead who already have died, more than the living who are still alive.

The righteous perishes, and no one lays it to heart, and merciful men are taken away; no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the face of evil.

He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

We are confident, yes, preferring rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shouted command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

who died for us, that whether we watch or sleep, we should live together with Him.

And a white robe was given to each one of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who were about to be killed as they were, was filled up.

And I said to him, Sir, you know. So he said to me, These are the ones coming out of great affliction, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not fall on them, nor any burning heat;

There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest.

The small and great are there, and the slave is free from his master.

And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy on their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

since it is righteous judgment with God to repay with affliction those who trouble you,

and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels,

There remains therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, that no one fall according to the same example of disobedience.

And Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is great reward.

Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall set us in the way of His steps.

for I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?

Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?

And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when it fails, they may receive you into eternal dwellings.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Do not be led astray, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life.

Yes, and if I am being poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

Hereafter, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all the ones loving His appearing.

For God is not unjust, to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end,
