So<n id="1" /> the beast<n id="2" /> opened his mouth to blaspheme against God &#8211; to blaspheme both his name and his dwelling place,<n id="3" /> that is, those who dwell in heaven.

He<n id="1" /> performed momentous signs, even making fire come down from heaven in front of people<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the third angel<n id="2" /> poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood.

The<n id="1" /> beast that was, and is not, is himself an eighth king and yet is one of the seven, and is going to destruction.

Then<n id="1" /> Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death &#8211; the lake of fire.

If<n id="1" /> anyone&#8217;s name<n id="2" /> was not found written in the book of life, that person<n id="3" /> was thrown into the lake of fire.p>

The nations<n id="1" /> will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their grandeur<n id="2" /> into it.

and the one who lives! I<n id="1" /> was dead, but look, now I am alive &#8211; forever and ever &#8211; and I hold the keys of death and of Hades!<n id="2" />

the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground<n id="1" /> before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns<n id="2" /> before his<n id="3" /> throne, saying:p>

saying,p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;Amen! Praise and glory,p> <p class="poetry">and wisdom and thanksgiving,p> <p class="poetry">and honor and power and strengthp> <p class="poetry">be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!&#8221;p>

Then<n id="1" /> the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth, and there were crashes of thunder, roaring,<n id="2" /> flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.p>

(Now<n id="1" /> the name of the star is<n id="2" /> Wormwood.)<n id="3" /> So<n id="4" /> a third of the waters became wormwood,<n id="5" /> and many people died from these waters because they were poisoned.<n id="6" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky<n id="2" /> to the earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the abyss.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> the locusts looked like horses equipped for battle. On<n id="2" /> their heads were something like crowns similar to gold,<n id="3" /> and their faces looked like men&#8217;s<n id="4" /> faces.

For three and a half days those from every<n id="1" /> people, tribe,<n id="2" /> nation, and language will look at their corpses, because they will not permit them to be placed in a tomb.<n id="3" />

Then<n id="1" /> they<n id="2" /> heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them: &#8220;Come up here!&#8221; So the two prophets<n id="3" /> went up to heaven in a cloud while<n id="4" /> their enemies stared at them.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;The kingdom of the worldp> <p class="poetry">has become the kingdom of our Lordp> <p class="poetry">and of his Christ,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and he will reign for ever and ever.&#8221;p>

So<n id="1" /> that huge dragon &#8211; the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world &#8211; was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him.

One of the beast&#8217;s<n id="1" /> heads appeared to have been killed,<n id="2" /> but the lethal wound had been healed.<n id="3" /> And the whole world followed<n id="4" /> the beast in amazement;
