I turned to see whose voice was speaking to me, and when I did so, I saw seven golden lampstands,

Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

After these things I looked, and the temple (the tent of the testimony) was opened in heaven,

Then I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and back and sealed with seven seals.

And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming in a loud voice: “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”

Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven

Then I saw another beast coming up from the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but was speaking like a dragon.

Then I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance.

Then I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more.

And I saw the holy city – the new Jerusalem – descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.

Now I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God – the All-Powerful – and the Lamb are its temple.

When I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last,

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their number was ten thousand times ten thousand – thousands times thousands –

I looked on when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a thunderous voice, “Come!”

So I looked, and here came a white horse! The one who rode it had a bow, and he was given a crown, and as a conqueror he rode out to conquer.

Then when the Lamb opened the third seal I heard the third living creature saying, “Come!” So I looked, and here came a black horse! The one who rode it had a balance scale in his hand.

Now when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been violently killed because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had given.

Then I looked when the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and a huge earthquake took place; the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, and the full moon became blood red;
