nkjv Revelation:10-12 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven ,
clothed with a cloud .
And a rainbow was on his head ,
his face was like the sun ,
and his feet like pillars of fire .
*
He had a little book open in his hand .
And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land ,
*
and cried with a loud voice ,
as when a lion roars .
When he cried out ,
seven thunders uttered their voices .
*
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 ."
*
The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven
*
and swore by Him who lives forever and ever ,
who created heaven and the things that are in it ,
the earth and the things that are in it ,
and the sea and the things that are in it ,
that there should be delay no longer ,
*
but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel ,
when he is about to sound ,
the mystery of God would be finished ,
as He declared to His servants the prophets .
*
Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said , "
Go ,
take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth ."
*
So I went to the angel and said to him , "
Give me the little book ."
And he said to me , "
Take and eat it ;
and it will make your stomach bitter ,
but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth ."
*
Then I took the little book out of the angel '
s hand and ate it ,
and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth .
But when I had eaten it ,
my stomach became bitter .
*
And he said to me , "
You must prophesy again about many peoples ,
nations ,
tongues ,
and kings ."
*
Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod .
And the angel stood ,
saying , "
Rise and measure the temple of God ,
the altar ,
and those who worship there .
*
But leave out the court which is outside the temple ,
and do not measure it ,
for it has been given to the Gentiles .
And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months .
*
And I will give power to my two witnesses ,
and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days ,
clothed in sackcloth ."
*
These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth .
*
And if anyone wants to harm them ,
fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies .
And if anyone wants to harm them ,
he must be killed in this manner .
*
These have power to shut heaven ,
so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy ;
and they have power over waters to turn them to blood ,
and to strike the earth with all plagues ,
as often as they desire .
*
When they finish their testimony ,
the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them ,
overcome them ,
and kill them .
*
And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt ,
where also our Lord was crucified .
*
Then those from the peoples ,
tribes ,
tongues ,
and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days ,
and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves .
*
And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them ,
make merry ,
and send gifts to one another ,
because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth .
*
Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them ,
and they stood on their feet ,
and great fear fell on those who saw them .
*
And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them , "
Come up here ."
And they ascended to heaven in a cloud ,
and their enemies saw them .
*
In the same hour there was a great earthquake ,
and a tenth of the city fell .
In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed ,
and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven .
*
The second woe is past .
Behold ,
the third woe is coming quickly .
*
Then the seventh angel sounded :
And there were loud voices in heaven ,
saying , "
The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ ,
and He shall reign forever and ever !"
*
And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God ,
*
saying : "
We give You thanks ,
O Lord God Almighty ,
The One who is and who was and who is to come ,
Because You have taken Your great power and reigned .
*
The nations were angry ,
and Your wrath has come ,
And the time of the dead ,
that they should be judged ,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints ,
And those who fear Your name ,
small and great ,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth ."
*
Then the temple of God was opened in heaven ,
and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple .
And there were lightnings ,
noises ,
thunderings ,
an earthquake ,
and great hail .
*
Now a great sign appeared in heaven :
a woman clothed with the sun ,
with the moon under her feet ,
and on her head a garland of twelve stars .
*
Then being with child ,
she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth .
*
And another sign appeared in heaven :
behold ,
a great ,
fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns ,
and seven diadems on his heads .
*
His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth .
And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth ,
to devour her Child as soon as it was born .
*
She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron .
And her Child was caught up to God and His throne .
*
Then the woman fled into the wilderness ,
where she has a place prepared by God ,
that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days .
*
And war broke out in heaven :
Michael and his angels fought with the dragon ;
and the dragon and his angels fought ,
*
but they did not prevail ,
nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer .
*
So the great dragon was cast out ,
that serpent of old ,
called the Devil and Satan ,
who deceives the whole world ;
he was cast to the earth ,
and his angels were cast out with him .
*
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven , "
Now salvation ,
and strength ,
and the kingdom of our God ,
and the power of His Christ have come ,
for the accuser of our brethren ,
who accused them before our God day and night ,
has been cast down .
*
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony ,
and they did not love their lives to the death .
*
Therefore rejoice ,
O heavens ,
and you who dwell in them !
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea !
For the devil has come down to you ,
having great wrath ,
because he knows that he has a short time ."
*
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth ,
he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child .
*
But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle ,
that she might fly into the wilderness to her place ,
where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time ,
from the presence of the serpent .
*
So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman ,
that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood .
*
But the earth helped the woman ,
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth .
*
And the dragon was enraged with the woman ,
and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring ,
who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ .
*
Then I stood on the sand of the sea .
And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea ,
having seven heads and ten horns ,
and on his horns ten crowns ,
and on his heads a blasphemous name .
