Revelation 6:1-8:5
1
Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of e the seven seals, and I heard f one of the four living creatures say g with a voice like thunder, h "Come!"
2
And I looked, and behold, i a white horse! And j its rider had a bow, and k a crown was given to him, and he came out l conquering, and to conquer.
3
When he opened the second seal, I heard m the second living creature say, "Come!"
4
And out came another horse, n bright red. Its rider was permitted o to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
5
When he opened the third seal, I heard the m third living creature say, "Come!" And I looked, and behold, p a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.
6
And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, q "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and r do not harm the oil and wine!"
7
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of m the fourth living creature say, "Come!"
8
And I looked, and behold, s a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill t with sword and with famine and with pestilence and u by wild beasts of the earth.
9
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under v the altar w the souls of those who had been slain x for the word of God and for y the witness they had borne.
10
They cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, z holy and true, a how long b before you will judge and c avenge our blood on d those who dwell on the earth?"
11
Then they were each given e a white robe and f told to rest a little longer, g until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers h should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
12
When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, i there was a great earthquake, and j the sun became black as k sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,
13
and l the stars of the sky fell to the earth m as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.
14
n The sky vanished m like a scroll that is being rolled up, and o every mountain and island was removed from its place.
15
Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, p hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,
16
q calling to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of r him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17
for s the great day of their wrath has come, and t who can stand?"
Revelation 7
1
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back u the four winds of the earth, v that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
2
Then I saw another angel ascending w from the rising of the sun, with x the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea,
3
saying, y "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God z on their foreheads."
4
And a I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5
12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,

9
After this I looked, and behold, b a great multitude that no one could number, c from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, d clothed in white robes, with e palm branches in their hands,
10
and crying out with a loud voice, f "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"
11
And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and g the four living creatures, and they h fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
12
i saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."
13
Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, d clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?"
14
I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones coming out of j the great tribulation. k They have washed their robes and l made them white m in the blood of the Lamb.
15
"Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and n serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne o will shelter them with his presence.
16
p They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
q the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17
For the Lamb in the midst of the throne r will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of s living water,
and t God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Revelation 8
1
When the Lamb opened u the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2
Then I saw the seven angels v who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3
And another angel came and stood w at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with x the prayers of all the saints on y the golden altar before the throne,
4
and z the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.
5
Then the angel took the censer and a filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and b there were peals of c thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
