saying: &#8220;Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches &#8211; to Ephesus,<n id="1" /> Smyrna,<n id="2" /> Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.&#8221;p>

Look! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness,<n id="1" /> and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering,<n id="2" /> unless they repent of her deeds.

<p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> the spirits<n id="2" /> gathered the kings and their armies<n id="3" /> to the place that is called Armageddon<n id="4" /> in Hebrew.p>

They will bring the grandeur and the wealth<n id="1" /> of the nations<n id="2" /> into it,

Then<n id="1" /> the kings of the earth, the<n id="2" /> very important people, the generals,<n id="3" /> the rich, the powerful, and everyone, slave<n id="4" /> and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

But<n id="1" /> the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness,<n id="2" /> to the place God<n id="3" /> prepared for her, where she is taken care of &#8211; away from the presence of the serpent &#8211; for a time, times, and half a time.<n id="4" />

<p class="poetry">If anyone is meant for captivity,p> <p class="poetry">into captivity he will go.p> <p class="poetry">If anyone is to be killed by the sword,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">then by the sword he must be killed.p> <p class="bodytext">This<n id="2" /> requires steadfast endurance<n id="3" /> and faith from the saints.p>

So<n id="1" /> the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes from the vineyard<n id="2" /> of the earth and tossed them into the great<n id="3" /> winepress of the wrath of God.

And the devil who deceived<n id="1" /> them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur,<n id="2" /> where the beast and the false prophet are<n id="3" /> too, and they will be tormented there day and night forever and ever.p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> a second time the crowd shouted, &#8220;Hallelujah!&#8221; The smoke rises from her forever and ever.<n id="2" />

and has appointed<n id="1" /> us as a kingdom,<n id="2" /> as priests<n id="3" /> serving his God and Father &#8211; to him be the glory and the power for ever and ever!<n id="4" /> Amen.p>

<p class="bodytext">And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor,<n id="1" /> and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

and the stars in the sky<n id="1" /> fell to the earth like a fig tree dropping<n id="2" /> its unripe figs<n id="3" /> when shaken by a fierce<n id="4" /> wind.

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain of burning fire was thrown into the sea. A<n id="2" /> third of the sea became blood,

Then<n id="1" /> out of the smoke came locusts onto the earth, and they were given power<n id="2" /> like that of the scorpions of the earth.

They had breastplates<n id="1" /> like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots charging into battle.

Then<n id="1" /> the four angels who had been prepared for this<n id="2" /> hour, day,<n id="3" /> month, and year were set free to kill<n id="4" /> a third of humanity.

Then<n id="1" /> the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven

and she<n id="1" /> fled into the wilderness<n id="2" /> where a place had been prepared for her<n id="3" /> by God, so she could be taken care of<n id="4" /> for 1,260 days.p>

<p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> when the dragon realized<n id="2" /> that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
