<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I heard a loud voice from the temple declaring to the seven angels: &#8220;Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God&#8217;s wrath.&#8221;<n id="2" />

But<n id="1" /> the angel said to me, &#8220;Why are you astounded? I will interpret<n id="2" /> for you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

<p class="poetry">For all the nations<n id="1" /> have fallen<n id="2" /> fromp> <p class="poetry">the wine of her immoral passion,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her,p> <p class="poetry">and the merchants of the earth have gotten rich from the power of her sensual behavior.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the angel<n id="2" /> said to me, &#8220;Write the following: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet at the wedding celebration of the Lamb!&#8221; He also said to me, &#8220;These are the true words of God.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do battle with the one who rode the horse and with his army.

The<n id="1" /> others were killed by the sword that extended from the mouth of the one who rode the horse, and all the birds gorged<n id="2" /> themselves with their flesh.p>

The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers<n id="1" /> will in no way be harmed by the second death.&#8217;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and back<n id="2" /> and sealed with seven seals.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Finally<n id="1" /> the seventh angel<n id="2" /> poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying: &#8220;It is done!&#8221;

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

And I saw the holy city &#8211; the new Jerusalem &#8211; descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.

And there will no longer be any curse,<n id="1" /> and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city.<n id="2" /> His<n id="3" /> servants<n id="4" /> will worship<n id="5" /> him,

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw something like a sea of glass<n id="2" /> mixed with fire, and those who had conquered<n id="3" /> the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing<n id="4" /> by<n id="5" /> the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God.<n id="6" />

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.<n id="1" />p>

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 one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers,<n id="1" /> I will permit<n id="2" /> him to eat from the tree of life that is<n id="3" /> in the paradise of God.&#8217;<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been violently killed<n id="2" /> because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had given.

<p class="bodytext">And all the angels stood<n id="1" /> there in a circle around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground<n id="2" /> before the throne and worshiped God,

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>

<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" />
