<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;

On<n id="1" /> her forehead was written a name, a mystery:<n id="2" /> &#8220;Babylon the Great, the Mother of prostitutes and of the detestable things of the earth.&#8221;

(This requires<n id="1" /> a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains<n id="2" /> the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:

As for<n id="1" /> the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her because no one buys their cargo<n id="2" /> any longer &#8211;

<p class="poetry">(Rejoice over her, O heaven,p> <p class="poetry">and you saints and apostles and prophets,p> <p class="poetry">for God has pronounced judgment<n id="1" /> against her on your behalf!)<n id="2" />p>

The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground<n id="1" /> and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: &#8220;Amen! Hallelujah!&#8221;p>

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.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding<n id="2" /> in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.

The<n id="1" /> wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.p>

Another<n id="1" /> angel holding<n id="2" /> a golden censer<n id="3" /> came and was stationed<n id="4" /> at the altar. A<n id="5" /> large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that is before the throne.

Then<n id="1" /> the voice I had heard from heaven began to speak<n id="2" /> to me<n id="3" /> again,<n id="4" /> &#8220;Go and take the open<n id="5" /> scroll in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.&#8221;

and, by the signs he was permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, he deceived those who live on the earth. He told<n id="1" /> those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I looked, and here was<n id="2" /> the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were one hundred and forty-four thousand, who had his name and his Father&#8217;s name written on their foreheads.

The beast you saw was, and is not, but is about to come up from the abyss<n id="1" /> and then go to destruction. The<n id="2" /> inhabitants of the earth &#8211; all those whose names have not been written in the book of life since the foundation of the world &#8211; will be astounded when they see that<n id="3" /> the beast was, and is not, but is to come.

<p class="poetry">(Look! <i>He is returning with the cloudsi>,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and <i>every eye will see him,i>p> <p class="poetry"><i>eveni><n id="2" /> <i>those who pierced himi>,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">and all the tribes<n id="4" /> on the earth will mourn because<n id="5" /> of him.p> <p class="poetry">This will certainly come to pass!<n id="6" /> Amen.)<n id="7" />p>

When<n id="1" /> I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but<n id="2" /> he placed his right hand on me and said: &#8220;Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last,

But to the rest of you in Thyatira, all who do not hold to this teaching<n id="1" /> (who have not learned the so-called &#8220;deep secrets<n id="2" /> of Satan&#8221;), to you I say: I do not put any additional burden on you.

Therefore, remember what you received and heard,<n id="1" /> and obey it,<n id="2" /> and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will never<n id="3" /> know at what hour I will come against<n id="4" /> you.

Listen!<n id="1" /> I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home<n id="2" /> and share a meal with him, and he with me.
