His eyes are like a fiery<n id="1" /> flame and there are many diadem crowns<n id="2" /> on his head. He has<n id="3" /> a name written<n id="4" /> that no one knows except himself.

I am also aware<n id="1" /> that you have persisted steadfastly,<n id="2" /> endured much for the sake of my name, and have not grown weary.

In the same way, there are also some among you who follow the teaching of the Nicolaitans.<n id="1" />

Listen!<n id="1" /> I am going to make those people from the synagogue<n id="2" /> of Satan &#8211; who say they are Jews yet<n id="3" /> are not, but are lying &#8211; Look, I will make<n id="4" /> them come and bow down<n id="5" /> at your feet and acknowledge<n id="6" /> that I have loved you.

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one can take away<n id="1" /> your crown.<n id="2" />

They were singing a new song:<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;You are worthy to take the scrollp> <p class="poetry">and to open its sealsp> <p class="poetry">because you were killed,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and at the cost of your own blood<n id="3" /> you have purchased<n id="4" /> for Godp> <p class="poetry">persons<n id="5" /> from every tribe, language,<n id="6" /> people, and nation.p>

They<n id="1" /> had hair like women&#8217;s hair, and their teeth were like lions&#8217; teeth.

So<n id="1" /> I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He<n id="2" /> said to me, &#8220;Take the scroll<n id="3" /> and eat it. It<n id="4" /> will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.&#8221;

But<n id="1" /> the dragon was not strong enough to prevail,<n id="2" /> so there was no longer any place left<n id="3" /> in heaven for him and his angels.<n id="4" />

and no lie was found on their lips;<n id="1" /> they<n id="2" /> are blameless.p>

<p class="bodytext">The one who testifies to these things says, &#8220;Yes, I am coming soon!&#8221; Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

If<n id="1" /> anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths<n id="2" /> and completely consumes<n id="3" /> their enemies. If<n id="4" /> anyone wants to harm them, they must be killed this way.

Then<n id="1" /> another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadem crowns.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw another<n id="2" /> angel flying directly overhead,<n id="3" /> and he had<n id="4" /> an eternal gospel to proclaim<n id="5" /> to those who live<n id="6" /> on the earth &#8211; to every nation, tribe,<n id="7" /> language, and people.

The<n id="1" /> ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive ruling authority<n id="2" /> as kings with the beast for one hour.

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> one powerful angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone, threw it into the sea, and said,p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;With this kind of sudden violent force<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">Babylon the great city will be thrown down<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">and it will never be found again!p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting:<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;Hallelujah!p> <p class="poetry">For the Lord our God,<n id="3" /> the All-Powerful,<n id="4" /> reigns!p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw heaven opened and here came<n id="2" /> a white horse! The<n id="3" /> one riding it was called &#8220;Faithful&#8221; and &#8220;True,&#8221; and with justice<n id="4" /> he judges and goes to war.

It has<n id="1" /> a massive, high wall<n id="2" /> with twelve gates,<n id="3" /> with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel<n id="4" /> are written on the gates.<n id="5" />
