AndG2532 I stoodG2476 uponG1909 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, andG2532 sawG1492 a beastG2342 rise upG305 out ofG1537 the seaG2281, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 hornsG2768 tenG1176 crownsG1238, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 headsG2776 the nameG3686 of blasphemyG988. {name: or, names}
AndG2532 the beastG2342 whichG3739 I sawG1492 wasG2258 likeG3664 unto a leopardG3917, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 were asG5613 the feet of a bearG715, andG2532 hisG846 mouthG4750 asG5613 the mouthG4750 of a lionG3023: andG2532 the dragonG1404 gaveG1325 himG846 hisG846 powerG1411, andG2532 hisG846 seatG2362, andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 oneG3391 of hisG846 headsG2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694+G1722 the beastG2342. {wounded: Gr. slain}
AndG2532 they worshippedG4352 the dragonG1404 whichG3739 gaveG1325 powerG1849 unto the beastG2342: andG2532 they worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 is likeG3664 unto the beastG2342? whoG5101 is ableG1410 to make warG4170 withG3326 himG846?
AndG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a mouthG4750 speakingG2980 great thingsG3173 andG2532 blasphemiesG988; andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to continueG4160 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {to continue: or, to make war}
AndG2532 he openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750 inG1519 blasphemyG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 hisG846 nameG3686, andG2532 hisG846 tabernacleG4633, andG2532 them that dwellG4637 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 it was givenG1325 unto himG846 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 the saintsG40, andG2532 to overcomeG3528 themG846: andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 himG846 overG1909 allG3956 kindredsG5443, andG2532 tonguesG1100, andG2532 nationsG1484.
AndG2532 allG3956 that dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG1093 shall worshipG4352 himG846, whoseG3739 namesG3686 areG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 of the LambG721 slainG4969 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
If any manG1536 haveG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191.
He thatG1536 leadethG4863 into captivityG161 shall goG5217 intoG1519 captivityG161: he thatG1536 killethG615 withG1722 the swordG3162 mustG1163 be killedG615 withG1722 the swordG3162. HereG5602 isG2076 the patienceG5281 andG2532 the faithG4102 of the saintsG40.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492 anotherG243 beastG2342 coming upG305 out ofG1537 the earthG1093; andG2532 he hadG2192 twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, andG2532 he spakeG2980 asG5613 a dragonG1404.
AndG2532 he exercisethG4160 allG3956 the powerG1849 of the firstG4413 beastG2342 beforeG1799 himG846, andG2532 causethG4160 the earthG1093 andG2532 them which dwellG2730 thereinG1722+G846 toG2443 worshipG4352 the firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739+G846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323.
AndG2532 he doethG4160 greatG3173 wondersG4592, soG2532 thatG2443 he makethG4160 fireG4442 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 onG1519 the earthG1093 in the sightG1799 of menG444,
AndG2532 deceivethG4105 them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 byG1223 the means of those miraclesG4592 whichG3739 heG846 had powerG1325 to doG4160 in the sightG1799 of the beastG2342; sayingG3004 to them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093, that they should makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG2342, whichG3739 hadG2192 the woundG4127 by a swordG3162, andG2532 did liveG2198.
AndG2532 heG846 had powerG1325 to giveG1325 lifeG4151 unto the imageG1504 of the beastG2342, thatG2443 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 shouldG2980 bothG2532 speakG2980, andG2532 causeG4160 that as many asG3745 wouldG302+G4352 notG3361 worshipG4352 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 should be killedG2443+G615. {life: Gr. breath}
AndG2532 he causethG4160 allG3956, both smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173+G2532, richG4145 andG2532 poorG4434+G2532, freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, toG2443+G846 receiveG1325 a markG5480 inG1909 theirG846 right handG1188+G5495, orG2228 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359: {to receive: Gr. to give them}
AndG2532 that noG3363 manG5100 mightG1410 buyG59 orG2228 sellG4453, save heG1508 that hadG2192 the markG5480, orG2228 the nameG3686 of the beastG2342, orG2228 the numberG706 of hisG846 nameG3686.
HereG5602 isG2076 wisdomG4678. Let him that hathG2192 understandingG3563 countG5585 the numberG706 of the beastG2342: forG1063 it isG2076 the numberG706 of a manG444; andG2532 hisG846 numberG706 is Six hundred threescore and sixG5516.
AndG2532 I stoodG2476 uponG1909 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, andG2532 sawG1492 a beastG2342 rise upG305 out ofG1537 the seaG2281, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 hornsG2768 tenG1176 crownsG1238, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 headsG2776 the nameG3686 of blasphemyG988. {name: or, names}
AndG2532 the beastG2342 whichG3739 I sawG1492 wasG2258 likeG3664 unto a leopardG3917, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 were asG5613 the feet of a bearG715, andG2532 hisG846 mouthG4750 asG5613 the mouthG4750 of a lionG3023: andG2532 the dragonG1404 gaveG1325 himG846 hisG846 powerG1411, andG2532 hisG846 seatG2362, andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 oneG3391 of hisG846 headsG2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694+G1722 the beastG2342. {wounded: Gr. slain}
AndG2532 they worshippedG4352 the dragonG1404 whichG3739 gaveG1325 powerG1849 unto the beastG2342: andG2532 they worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 is likeG3664 unto the beastG2342? whoG5101 is ableG1410 to make warG4170 withG3326 himG846?
AndG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a mouthG4750 speakingG2980 great thingsG3173 andG2532 blasphemiesG988; andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to continueG4160 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {to continue: or, to make war}
AndG2532 he openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750 inG1519 blasphemyG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 hisG846 nameG3686, andG2532 hisG846 tabernacleG4633, andG2532 them that dwellG4637 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 it was givenG1325 unto himG846 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 the saintsG40, andG2532 to overcomeG3528 themG846: andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 himG846 overG1909 allG3956 kindredsG5443, andG2532 tonguesG1100, andG2532 nationsG1484.
AndG2532 allG3956 that dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG1093 shall worshipG4352 himG846, whoseG3739 namesG3686 areG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 of the LambG721 slainG4969 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
If any manG1536 haveG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191.
He thatG1536 leadethG4863 into captivityG161 shall goG5217 intoG1519 captivityG161: he thatG1536 killethG615 withG1722 the swordG3162 mustG1163 be killedG615 withG1722 the swordG3162. HereG5602 isG2076 the patienceG5281 andG2532 the faithG4102 of the saintsG40.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492 anotherG243 beastG2342 coming upG305 out ofG1537 the earthG1093; andG2532 he hadG2192 twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, andG2532 he spakeG2980 asG5613 a dragonG1404.
AndG2532 he exercisethG4160 allG3956 the powerG1849 of the firstG4413 beastG2342 beforeG1799 himG846, andG2532 causethG4160 the earthG1093 andG2532 them which dwellG2730 thereinG1722+G846 toG2443 worshipG4352 the firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739+G846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323.
AndG2532 he doethG4160 greatG3173 wondersG4592, soG2532 thatG2443 he makethG4160 fireG4442 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 onG1519 the earthG1093 in the sightG1799 of menG444,
AndG2532 deceivethG4105 them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 byG1223 the means of those miraclesG4592 whichG3739 heG846 had powerG1325 to doG4160 in the sightG1799 of the beastG2342; sayingG3004 to them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093, that they should makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG2342, whichG3739 hadG2192 the woundG4127 by a swordG3162, andG2532 did liveG2198.
AndG2532 heG846 had powerG1325 to giveG1325 lifeG4151 unto the imageG1504 of the beastG2342, thatG2443 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 shouldG2980 bothG2532 speakG2980, andG2532 causeG4160 that as many asG3745 wouldG302+G4352 notG3361 worshipG4352 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 should be killedG2443+G615. {life: Gr. breath}
AndG2532 he causethG4160 allG3956, both smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173+G2532, richG4145 andG2532 poorG4434+G2532, freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, toG2443+G846 receiveG1325 a markG5480 inG1909 theirG846 right handG1188+G5495, orG2228 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359: {to receive: Gr. to give them}
AndG2532 that noG3363 manG5100 mightG1410 buyG59 orG2228 sellG4453, save heG1508 that hadG2192 the markG5480, orG2228 the nameG3686 of the beastG2342, orG2228 the numberG706 of hisG846 nameG3686.
HereG5602 isG2076 wisdomG4678. Let him that hathG2192 understandingG3563 countG5585 the numberG706 of the beastG2342: forG1063 it isG2076 the numberG706 of a manG444; andG2532 hisG846 numberG706 is Six hundred threescore and sixG5516.
In the firstH2298 yearH8140 of BelshazzarH1113 kingH4430 of BabylonH895 DanielH1841 hadH2370 a dreamH2493 and visionsH2376 of his headH7217 uponH5922 his bedH4903: thenH116 he wroteH3790 the dreamH2493, and toldH560 the sumH7217 of the mattersH4406. {had: Cald. saw} {matters: or, words}
DanielH1841 spakeH6032 and saidH560, I sawH2370+H1934 in my visionH2376 byH5974 nightH3916, and, beholdH718, the fourH703 windsH7308 of the heavenH8065 stroveH1519 upon the greatH7229 seaH3221.
And fourH703 greatH7260 beastsH2423 came upH5559 fromH4481 the seaH3221, diverseH8133 oneH1668 fromH4481 anotherH1668.
The firstH6933 was like a lionH744, and had eagle'sH5403 wingsH1611: I beheldH1934+H2370 tillH5705 the wingsH1611 thereof were pluckedH4804, and it was lifted upH5191 fromH4481 the earthH772, and made standH6966 uponH5922 the feetH7271 as a manH606, and a man'sH606 heartH3825 was givenH3052 to it. {and it: or, wherewith it}
And beholdH718 anotherH317 beastH2423, a secondH8578, likeH1821 to a bearH1678, and it raised upH6966 itself on oneH2298 sideH7859, and it had threeH8532 ribsH5967 in the mouthH6433 of it betweenH997 the teethH8128 of it: and they saidH560 thusH3652 unto it, AriseH6966, devourH399 muchH7690 fleshH1321. {it raised…: or, it raised up one dominion}
AfterH870 thisH1836 I beheldH1934+H2370, and loH718 anotherH317, like a leopardH5245, which had uponH5922 the backH1355 of it fourH703 wingsH1611 of a fowlH5776; the beastH2423 had also fourH703 headsH7217; and dominionH7985 was givenH3052 to it.
AfterH870 thisH1836 I sawH1934+H2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and beholdH718 a fourthH7244 beastH2423, dreadfulH1763 and terribleH574, and strongH8624 exceedinglyH3493; and it had greatH7260 ironH6523 teethH8128: it devouredH399 and brake in piecesH1855, and stampedH7512 the residueH7606 with the feetH7271 of it: and itH1932 was diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 the beastsH2423 that were beforeH6925 it; and it had tenH6236 hornsH7162.
I consideredH1934+H7920 the hornsH7162, and, beholdH431, there came upH5559 amongH997 them anotherH317 littleH2192 hornH7162, beforeH6925+H4481 whom there were threeH8532 ofH4481 the firstH6933 hornsH7162 plucked up by the rootsH6132: and, beholdH431, in thisH1668 hornH7162 were eyesH5870 like the eyesH5870 of manH606, and a mouthH6433 speakingH4449 great thingsH7260.
I beheldH1934+H2370 tillH5705 the thronesH3764 were cast downH7412, and the AncientH6268 of daysH3118 did sitH3488, whose garmentH3831 was whiteH2358 as snowH8517, and the hairH8177 of his headH7217 like the pureH5343 woolH6015: his throneH3764 was like the fieryH5135 flameH7631, and his wheelsH1535 as burningH1815 fireH5135.
A fieryH5135 streamH5103 issuedH5047 and came forthH5312 fromH4481 beforeH6925 him: thousandH506 thousandsH506 ministeredH8120 unto him, and ten thousandH7240 times ten thousandH7240 stoodH6966 beforeH6925 him: the judgmentH1780 was setH3488, and the booksH5609 were openedH6606.
I beheldH1934+H2370 thenH116 becauseH4481 of the voiceH7032 of the greatH7260 wordsH4406 which the hornH7162 spakeH4449: I beheldH1934+H2370 even tillH5705 the beastH2423 was slainH6992, and his bodyH1655 destroyedH7, and givenH3052 to the burningH3346 flameH785.
As concerning the restH7606 of the beastsH2423, they had their dominionH7985 taken awayH5709: yet their livesH2417 were prolongedH3052 forH5705 a seasonH2166 and timeH5732. {their lives…: Cald. a prolonging in life was given them}
I sawH1934+H2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and, beholdH718, one like the SonH1247 of manH606 cameH858 withH5974 the cloudsH6050 of heavenH8065, and cameH4291 toH5705 the AncientH6268 of daysH3118, and they brought him nearH7127 beforeH6925 him.
And there was givenH3052 him dominionH7985, and gloryH3367, and a kingdomH4437, that allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, should serveH6399 him: his dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, which shall notH3809 pass awayH5709, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255.
IH576 DanielH1841 was grievedH3735 in my spiritH7308 in the midstH1459 of my bodyH5085, and the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 troubledH927 me. {body: Cald. sheath}
I came nearH7127 untoH5922 oneH2298 ofH4481 them that stood byH6966, and askedH1156 himH4481 the truthH3330 of allH3606 thisH1836. So he toldH560 me, and made me knowH3046 the interpretationH6591 of the thingsH4406.
TheseH459 greatH7260 beastsH2423, whichH581 are fourH703, are fourH703 kingsH4430, which shall ariseH6966 out ofH4481 the earthH772.
But the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946 shall takeH6902 the kingdomH4437, and possessH2631 the kingdomH4437 forH5705 everH5957, even forH5705 everH5957 and everH5957. {most…: Cald. high ones, that is, things, or, places}
ThenH116 I wouldH6634 know the truthH3321 ofH5922 the fourthH7244 beastH2423, which wasH1934 diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 the others, exceedingH3493 dreadfulH1763, whose teethH8128 were of ironH6523, and his nailsH2953 of brassH5174; which devouredH399, brake in piecesH1855, and stampedH7512 the residueH7606 with his feetH7271; {from…: Cald. from all those}
And ofH5922 the tenH6236 hornsH7162 that were in his headH7217, and of the otherH317 which came upH5559, and beforeH4481+H6925 whom threeH8532 fellH5308; even of that hornH7162 thatH1797 had eyesH5870, and a mouthH6433 that spakeH4449 very great thingsH7260, whose lookH2376 was moreH4481 stoutH7229 thanH4481 his fellowsH2273.
I beheldH1934+H2370, and the sameH1797 hornH7162 madeH5648 warH7129 withH5974 the saintsH6922, and prevailedH3202 against them;
UntilH5705 the AncientH6268 of daysH3118 cameH858+H1768, and judgmentH1780 was givenH3052 to the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946; and the timeH2166 cameH4291 that the saintsH6922 possessedH2631 the kingdomH4437.
ThusH3652 he saidH560, The fourthH7244 beastH2423 shall beH1934 the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 upon earthH772, which shall be diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 kingdomsH4437, and shall devourH399 the wholeH3606 earthH772, and shall tread it downH1759, and break it in piecesH1855.
And the tenH6236 hornsH7162 out ofH4481 this kingdomH4437 are tenH6236 kingsH4430 that shall ariseH6966: and anotherH321 shall riseH6966 afterH311 them; and he shall be diverseH8133 fromH4481 the firstH6933, and he shall subdueH8214 threeH8532 kingsH4430.
And he shall speakH4449 great wordsH4406 againstH6655 the most HighH5943, and shall wear outH1080 the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946, and thinkH5452 to changeH8133 timesH2166 and lawsH1882: and they shall be givenH3052 into his handH3028 untilH5705 a timeH5732 and timesH5732 and the dividingH6387 of timeH5732.
But the judgmentH1780 shall sitH3488, and they shall take awayH5709 his dominionH7985, to consumeH8046 and to destroyH7 it untoH5705 the endH5491.
And the kingdomH4437 and dominionH7985, and the greatnessH7238 of the kingdomH4437 underH8460 the wholeH3606 heavenH8065, shall be givenH3052 to the peopleH5972 of the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946, whose kingdomH4437 is an everlastingH5957 kingdomH4437, and allH3606 dominionsH7985 shall serveH6399 and obeyH8086 him. {dominions: or, rulers}
HithertoH5705+H3542 is the endH5491 of the matterH4406. As for meH576 DanielH1841, my cogitationsH7476 muchH7690 troubledH927 me, and my countenanceH2122 changedH8133 in meH5922: but I keptH5202 the matterH4406 in my heartH3821.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon MahalathH4257, MaschilH4905, A Psalm of DavidH1732. The foolH5036 hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, There is no GodH430. CorruptH7843 are they, and have done abominableH8581 iniquityH5766: there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896.
AndG2532 there cameG2064 oneG1520 ofG1537 the sevenG2033 angelsG32 whichG3588 hadG2192 the sevenG2033 vialsG5357, andG2532 talkedG2980 withG3326 meG1700, sayingG3004 unto meG3427, Come hitherG1204; I will shewG1166 unto theeG4671 the judgmentG2917 of the greatG3173 whoreG4204 that sittethG2521 uponG1909 manyG4183 watersG5204:
WithG3326 whomG3739 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 have committed fornicationG4203, andG2532 the inhabitantsG2730 of the earthG1093 have been made drunkG3184 withG1537 the wineG3631 of herG846 fornicationG4202.
SoG2532 he carriedG667 meG3165 awayG667 inG1722 the spiritG4151 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048: andG2532 I sawG1492 a womanG1135 sitG2521 uponG1909 a scarlet colouredG2847 beastG2342, full ofG1073 namesG3686 of blasphemyG988, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768.
AndG2532 the womanG1135 wasG2258 arrayedG4016 in purpleG4209 andG2532 scarlet colourG2847, andG2532 deckedG5558 with goldG5557 andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037 andG2532 pearlsG3135, havingG2192 a goldenG5552 cupG4221 inG1722 herG846 handG5495 full ofG1073 abominationsG946 andG2532 filthinessG168 of herG846 fornicationG4202: {decked: Gr. gilded}
AndG2532 uponG1909 herG846 foreheadG3359 was a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 ANDG2532 ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093. {harlots: or, fornications}
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the womanG1135 drunkenG3184 withG1537 the bloodG129 of the saintsG40, andG2532 withG1537 the bloodG129 of the martyrsG3144 of JesusG2424: andG2532 when I sawG1492 herG846, I wonderedG2296 with greatG3173 admirationG2295.
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto meG3427, WhereforeG1302 didst thou marvelG2296? IG1473 will tellG2046 theeG4671 the mysteryG3466 of the womanG1135, andG2532 of the beastG2342 that carriethG941 herG846, whichG3588 hathG2192 the sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768.
The beastG2342 thatG3739 thou sawestG1492 wasG2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756; andG2532 shallG3195 ascendG305 out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12, andG2532 goG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684: andG2532 they that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 shall wonderG2296, whoseG3739 namesG3686 wereG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1909 the bookG975 of lifeG2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, when they beholdG991 the beastG2342 that wasG3748+G2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756, and yetG2539 isG2076.
And hereG5602 is the mindG3563 whichG3588 hathG2192 wisdomG4678. The sevenG2033 headsG2776 areG1526 sevenG2033 mountainsG3735, onG1909 whichG846 the womanG1135 sittethG2521+G3699.
AndG2532 there areG1526 sevenG2033 kingsG935: fiveG4002 are fallenG4098, andG2532 oneG1520 isG2076, and the otherG243 isG2064 not yetG3768 comeG2064; andG2532 whenG3752 he comethG2064, heG846 mustG1163 continueG3306 a short spaceG3641.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 thatG3739 wasG2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756, evenG2532 heG846 isG2076 the eighthG3590, andG2532 isG2076 ofG1537 the sevenG2033, andG2532 goethG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684.
AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 areG1526 tenG1176 kingsG935, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 noG3768 kingdomG932 as yetG3768; butG235 receiveG2983 powerG1849 asG5613 kingsG935 oneG3391 hourG5610 withG3326 the beastG2342.
TheseG3778 haveG2192 oneG3391 mindG1106, andG2532 shall giveG1239 theirG1438 powerG1411 andG2532 strengthG1849 unto the beastG2342.
TheseG3778 shall make warG4170 withG3326 the LambG721, andG2532 the LambG721 shall overcomeG3528 themG846: forG3754 he isG2076 LordG2962 of lordsG2962, andG2532 KingG935 of kingsG935: andG2532 they that are withG3326 himG846 are calledG2822, andG2532 chosenG1588, andG2532 faithfulG4103.
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto meG3427, The watersG5204 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492, whereG3757 the whoreG4204 sittethG2521, areG1526 peoplesG2992, andG2532 multitudesG3793, andG2532 nationsG1484, andG2532 tonguesG1100.
AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 uponG1909 the beastG2342, theseG3778 shall hateG3404 the whoreG4204, andG2532 shall makeG4160 herG846 desolateG2049 andG2532 nakedG1131, andG2532 shall eatG5315 herG846 fleshG4561, andG2532 burnG2618 herG846 withG1722 fireG4442.
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath putG1325 inG1519 theirG846 heartsG2588 to fulfilG4160 hisG846 willG1106, andG2532 to agreeG4160+G3391+G1106, andG2532 giveG1325 theirG846 kingdomG932 unto the beastG2342, untilG891 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316 shall be fulfilledG5055.
AndG2532 the womanG1135 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 isG2076 that greatG3173 cityG4172, whichG3588 reignethG2192+G932 overG1909 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093.
NowG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG5228 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 by ourG2257 gathering togetherG1997 untoG1909 himG846, {unto him: or, around him}
ThatG1519 yeG5209 beG4531 notG3361 soonG5030 shakenG4531 inG575 mindG3563, orG3383 be troubledG2360, neitherG3383 byG1223 spiritG4151, norG3383 byG1223 wordG3056, norG3383 byG1223 letterG1992 asG5613 fromG1223 usG2257, asG5613 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547 is at handG1764.
LetG1818 noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG1818 youG5209 byG2596 anyG3367 meansG5158: forG3754 that day shall not come, exceptG3362 there comeG2064 a falling awayG646 firstG4412, andG2532 that manG444 of sinG266 be revealedG601, the sonG5207 of perditionG684;
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
Remember yeG3421 notG3756, thatG3754, when I wasG5607 yetG2089 withG4314 youG5209, I toldG3004 youG5213 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 nowG3568 ye knowG1492 what withholdethG2722 thatG1519 heG846 might be revealedG601 inG1722 hisG1438 timeG2540. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, stand fastG4739, andG2532 holdG2902 the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 ye have been taughtG1321, whetherG1535 byG1223 wordG3056, orG1535+G1223 ourG2257 epistleG1992.
NowG1161 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846, andG2532 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG1325 us everlastingG166 consolationG3874 andG2532 goodG18 hopeG1680 throughG1722 graceG5485,
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
The beastG2342 thatG3739 thou sawestG1492 wasG2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756; andG2532 shallG3195 ascendG305 out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12, andG2532 goG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684: andG2532 they that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 shall wonderG2296, whoseG3739 namesG3686 wereG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1909 the bookG975 of lifeG2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, when they beholdG991 the beastG2342 that wasG3748+G2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756, and yetG2539 isG2076.
NowG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG5228 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 by ourG2257 gathering togetherG1997 untoG1909 himG846, {unto him: or, around him}

AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, stand fastG4739, andG2532 holdG2902 the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 ye have been taughtG1321, whetherG1535 byG1223 wordG3056, orG1535+G1223 ourG2257 epistleG1992.
NowG1161 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846, andG2532 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG1325 us everlastingG166 consolationG3874 andG2532 goodG18 hopeG1680 throughG1722 graceG5485,
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
AndG2532 I stoodG2476 uponG1909 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, andG2532 sawG1492 a beastG2342 rise upG305 out ofG1537 the seaG2281, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 hornsG2768 tenG1176 crownsG1238, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 headsG2776 the nameG3686 of blasphemyG988. {name: or, names}
AndG2532 the beastG2342 whichG3739 I sawG1492 wasG2258 likeG3664 unto a leopardG3917, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 were asG5613 the feet of a bearG715, andG2532 hisG846 mouthG4750 asG5613 the mouthG4750 of a lionG3023: andG2532 the dragonG1404 gaveG1325 himG846 hisG846 powerG1411, andG2532 hisG846 seatG2362, andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 oneG3391 of hisG846 headsG2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694+G1722 the beastG2342. {wounded: Gr. slain}
AndG2532 they worshippedG4352 the dragonG1404 whichG3739 gaveG1325 powerG1849 unto the beastG2342: andG2532 they worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 is likeG3664 unto the beastG2342? whoG5101 is ableG1410 to make warG4170 withG3326 himG846?
AndG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a mouthG4750 speakingG2980 great thingsG3173 andG2532 blasphemiesG988; andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to continueG4160 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {to continue: or, to make war}
AndG2532 he openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750 inG1519 blasphemyG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 hisG846 nameG3686, andG2532 hisG846 tabernacleG4633, andG2532 them that dwellG4637 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 it was givenG1325 unto himG846 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 the saintsG40, andG2532 to overcomeG3528 themG846: andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 himG846 overG1909 allG3956 kindredsG5443, andG2532 tonguesG1100, andG2532 nationsG1484.
AndG2532 allG3956 that dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG1093 shall worshipG4352 himG846, whoseG3739 namesG3686 areG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 of the LambG721 slainG4969 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
If any manG1536 haveG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191.
He thatG1536 leadethG4863 into captivityG161 shall goG5217 intoG1519 captivityG161: he thatG1536 killethG615 withG1722 the swordG3162 mustG1163 be killedG615 withG1722 the swordG3162. HereG5602 isG2076 the patienceG5281 andG2532 the faithG4102 of the saintsG40.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492 anotherG243 beastG2342 coming upG305 out ofG1537 the earthG1093; andG2532 he hadG2192 twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, andG2532 he spakeG2980 asG5613 a dragonG1404.
AndG2532 he exercisethG4160 allG3956 the powerG1849 of the firstG4413 beastG2342 beforeG1799 himG846, andG2532 causethG4160 the earthG1093 andG2532 them which dwellG2730 thereinG1722+G846 toG2443 worshipG4352 the firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739+G846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323.
AndG2532 he doethG4160 greatG3173 wondersG4592, soG2532 thatG2443 he makethG4160 fireG4442 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 onG1519 the earthG1093 in the sightG1799 of menG444,
AndG2532 deceivethG4105 them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 byG1223 the means of those miraclesG4592 whichG3739 heG846 had powerG1325 to doG4160 in the sightG1799 of the beastG2342; sayingG3004 to them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093, that they should makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG2342, whichG3739 hadG2192 the woundG4127 by a swordG3162, andG2532 did liveG2198.
AndG2532 heG846 had powerG1325 to giveG1325 lifeG4151 unto the imageG1504 of the beastG2342, thatG2443 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 shouldG2980 bothG2532 speakG2980, andG2532 causeG4160 that as many asG3745 wouldG302+G4352 notG3361 worshipG4352 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 should be killedG2443+G615. {life: Gr. breath}
AndG2532 he causethG4160 allG3956, both smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173+G2532, richG4145 andG2532 poorG4434+G2532, freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, toG2443+G846 receiveG1325 a markG5480 inG1909 theirG846 right handG1188+G5495, orG2228 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359: {to receive: Gr. to give them}
AndG2532 that noG3363 manG5100 mightG1410 buyG59 orG2228 sellG4453, save heG1508 that hadG2192 the markG5480, orG2228 the nameG3686 of the beastG2342, orG2228 the numberG706 of hisG846 nameG3686.
HereG5602 isG2076 wisdomG4678. Let him that hathG2192 understandingG3563 countG5585 the numberG706 of the beastG2342: forG1063 it isG2076 the numberG706 of a manG444; andG2532 hisG846 numberG706 is Six hundred threescore and sixG5516.
NowG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG5228 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 by ourG2257 gathering togetherG1997 untoG1909 himG846, {unto him: or, around him}
ThatG1519 yeG5209 beG4531 notG3361 soonG5030 shakenG4531 inG575 mindG3563, orG3383 be troubledG2360, neitherG3383 byG1223 spiritG4151, norG3383 byG1223 wordG3056, norG3383 byG1223 letterG1992 asG5613 fromG1223 usG2257, asG5613 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547 is at handG1764.
LetG1818 noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG1818 youG5209 byG2596 anyG3367 meansG5158: forG3754 that day shall not come, exceptG3362 there comeG2064 a falling awayG646 firstG4412, andG2532 that manG444 of sinG266 be revealedG601, the sonG5207 of perditionG684;
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
Remember yeG3421 notG3756, thatG3754, when I wasG5607 yetG2089 withG4314 youG5209, I toldG3004 youG5213 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 nowG3568 ye knowG1492 what withholdethG2722 thatG1519 heG846 might be revealedG601 inG1722 hisG1438 timeG2540. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, stand fastG4739, andG2532 holdG2902 the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 ye have been taughtG1321, whetherG1535 byG1223 wordG3056, orG1535+G1223 ourG2257 epistleG1992.
NowG1161 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846, andG2532 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG1325 us everlastingG166 consolationG3874 andG2532 goodG18 hopeG1680 throughG1722 graceG5485,
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532, loG2400, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the throneG2362 andG2532 of the fourG5064 beastsG2226, andG2532 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the eldersG4245, stoodG2476 a LambG721 asG5613 it had been slainG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 hornsG2768 andG2532 sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 areG1526 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316 sent forthG649 intoG1519 allG3956 the earthG1093.
AndG2532 I stoodG2476 uponG1909 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, andG2532 sawG1492 a beastG2342 rise upG305 out ofG1537 the seaG2281, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 hornsG2768 tenG1176 crownsG1238, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 headsG2776 the nameG3686 of blasphemyG988. {name: or, names}
AndG2532 the beastG2342 whichG3739 I sawG1492 wasG2258 likeG3664 unto a leopardG3917, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 were asG5613 the feet of a bearG715, andG2532 hisG846 mouthG4750 asG5613 the mouthG4750 of a lionG3023: andG2532 the dragonG1404 gaveG1325 himG846 hisG846 powerG1411, andG2532 hisG846 seatG2362, andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 oneG3391 of hisG846 headsG2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694+G1722 the beastG2342. {wounded: Gr. slain}
AndG2532 they worshippedG4352 the dragonG1404 whichG3739 gaveG1325 powerG1849 unto the beastG2342: andG2532 they worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 is likeG3664 unto the beastG2342? whoG5101 is ableG1410 to make warG4170 withG3326 himG846?
AndG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a mouthG4750 speakingG2980 great thingsG3173 andG2532 blasphemiesG988; andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to continueG4160 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {to continue: or, to make war}
AndG2532 he openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750 inG1519 blasphemyG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 hisG846 nameG3686, andG2532 hisG846 tabernacleG4633, andG2532 them that dwellG4637 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 it was givenG1325 unto himG846 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 the saintsG40, andG2532 to overcomeG3528 themG846: andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 himG846 overG1909 allG3956 kindredsG5443, andG2532 tonguesG1100, andG2532 nationsG1484.
AndG2532 allG3956 that dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG1093 shall worshipG4352 himG846, whoseG3739 namesG3686 areG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 of the LambG721 slainG4969 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
If any manG1536 haveG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191.
He thatG1536 leadethG4863 into captivityG161 shall goG5217 intoG1519 captivityG161: he thatG1536 killethG615 withG1722 the swordG3162 mustG1163 be killedG615 withG1722 the swordG3162. HereG5602 isG2076 the patienceG5281 andG2532 the faithG4102 of the saintsG40.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492 anotherG243 beastG2342 coming upG305 out ofG1537 the earthG1093; andG2532 he hadG2192 twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, andG2532 he spakeG2980 asG5613 a dragonG1404.
AndG2532 he exercisethG4160 allG3956 the powerG1849 of the firstG4413 beastG2342 beforeG1799 himG846, andG2532 causethG4160 the earthG1093 andG2532 them which dwellG2730 thereinG1722+G846 toG2443 worshipG4352 the firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739+G846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323.
AndG2532 he doethG4160 greatG3173 wondersG4592, soG2532 thatG2443 he makethG4160 fireG4442 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 onG1519 the earthG1093 in the sightG1799 of menG444,
AndG2532 deceivethG4105 them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 byG1223 the means of those miraclesG4592 whichG3739 heG846 had powerG1325 to doG4160 in the sightG1799 of the beastG2342; sayingG3004 to them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093, that they should makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG2342, whichG3739 hadG2192 the woundG4127 by a swordG3162, andG2532 did liveG2198.
AndG2532 heG846 had powerG1325 to giveG1325 lifeG4151 unto the imageG1504 of the beastG2342, thatG2443 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 shouldG2980 bothG2532 speakG2980, andG2532 causeG4160 that as many asG3745 wouldG302+G4352 notG3361 worshipG4352 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 should be killedG2443+G615. {life: Gr. breath}
AndG2532 he causethG4160 allG3956, both smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173+G2532, richG4145 andG2532 poorG4434+G2532, freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, toG2443+G846 receiveG1325 a markG5480 inG1909 theirG846 right handG1188+G5495, orG2228 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359: {to receive: Gr. to give them}
AndG2532 that noG3363 manG5100 mightG1410 buyG59 orG2228 sellG4453, save heG1508 that hadG2192 the markG5480, orG2228 the nameG3686 of the beastG2342, orG2228 the numberG706 of hisG846 nameG3686.
HereG5602 isG2076 wisdomG4678. Let him that hathG2192 understandingG3563 countG5585 the numberG706 of the beastG2342: forG1063 it isG2076 the numberG706 of a manG444; andG2532 hisG846 numberG706 is Six hundred threescore and sixG5516.
And it came to pass after manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, GoH3212, shewH7200 thyself unto AhabH256; and I will sendH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH127.
And ElijahH452 wentH3212 to shewH7200 himself unto AhabH256. And there was a soreH2389 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, which was the governor of his houseH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966: {Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor…: Heb. over his house}
For it was so, when JezebelH348 cut offH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH376+H2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) {Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}
And AhabH256 saidH559 unto ObadiahH5662, GoH3212 into the landH776, unto all fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and unto all brooksH5158: peradventureH194 we may findH4672 grassH2682 to saveH2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, that we loseH3772 not all the beastsH929. {that…: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}
So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to pass throughoutH5674 it: AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 by himself.
And as ObadiahH5662 was in the wayH1870, behold, ElijahH452 metH7125 him: and he knewH5234 him, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and saidH559, Art thou that my lordH113 ElijahH452?
And he answeredH559 him, I am: goH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And he saidH559, What have I sinnedH2398, that thou wouldest deliverH5414 thy servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256, to slayH4191 me?
As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, there is noH3426 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467, whitherH834 my lordH113 hath not sentH7971 to seekH1245 thee: and when they saidH559, He is not there; he took an oathH7650 of the kingdomH4467 and nationH1471, that they foundH4672 thee not.
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am goneH3212 from thee, that the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall carryH5375 thee whither I knowH3045 not; and so when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256, and he cannot findH4672 thee, he shall slayH2026 me: but I thy servantH5650 fearH3372 the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271.
Was it not toldH5046 my lordH113 what I didH6213 when JezebelH348 slewH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, how I hidH2244 an hundredH3967 menH376 of the LORD'SH3068 prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325?
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here: and he shall slayH2026 me.
And ElijahH452 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will surely shewH7200 myself unto him to dayH3117.
So ObadiahH5662 wentH3212 to meetH7125 AhabH256, and toldH5046 him: and AhabH256 wentH3212 to meetH7125 ElijahH452.
And it came to pass, when AhabH256 sawH7200 ElijahH452, that AhabH256 saidH559 unto him, Art thou he that troublethH5916 IsraelH3478?
And he answeredH559, I have not troubledH5916 IsraelH3478; but thou, and thy father'sH1 houseH1004, in that ye have forsakenH5800 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and thou hast followedH3212+H310 BaalimH1168.
Now therefore sendH7971, and gatherH6908 to me all IsraelH3478 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and the prophetsH5030 of the grovesH842 fourH702 hundredH3967, which eatH398 at Jezebel'sH348 tableH7979.
So AhabH256 sentH7971 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760.
And ElijahH452 cameH5066 unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559, How longH5921 haltH6452 ye between twoH8147 opinionsH5587? if the LORDH3068 be GodH430, follow him: but if BaalH1168, then followH3212+H310 him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697. {opinions: or, thoughts}
Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I only, remainH3498 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal'sH1168 prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376.
Let them therefore giveH5414 us twoH8147 bullocksH6499; and let them chooseH977 oneH259 bullockH6499 for themselves, and cut it in piecesH5408, and layH7760 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under: and I will dressH6213 the otherH259 bullockH6499, and layH5414 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under:
And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030 by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. {It is…: Heb. The word is good}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977 you oneH259 bullockH6499 for yourselves, and dressH6213 it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, but putH7760 no fireH784 under.
And they tookH3947 the bullockH6499 which was givenH5414 them, and they dressedH6213 it, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 even until noonH6672, sayingH559, O BaalH1168, hearH6030 us. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, nor any that answeredH6030. And they leapedH6452 upon the altarH4196 which was madeH6213. {hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048 them, and saidH559, CryH7121 aloudH1419+H6963: for he is a godH430; either he is talkingH7879, or he is pursuingH7873, or he is in a journeyH1870, or peradventureH194 he sleepethH3463, and must be awakedH3364. {aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they criedH7121 aloudH6963+H1419, and cutH1413 themselves after their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancetsH7420, till the bloodH1818 gushed outH8210 upon them. {the blood…: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when middayH6672 was pastH5674, and they prophesiedH5012 until the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that there was neither voiceH6963, nor any to answerH6030, nor any that regardedH7182. {offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Come nearH5066 unto me. And all the peopleH5971 came nearH5066 unto him. And he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was broken downH2040.
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034:
And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would containH1004 two measuresH5429 of seedH2233.
And he putH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and cutH5408 the bullockH6499 in pieces, and laidH7760 him on the woodH6086, and saidH559, FillH4390 fourH702 barrelsH3537 with waterH4325, and pourH3332 it on the burnt sacrificeH5930, and on the woodH6086.
And he saidH559, Do it the second timeH8138. And they did it the second timeH8138. And he saidH559, Do it the third timeH8027. And they did it the third timeH8027.
And the waterH4325 ranH3212 round aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trenchH8585 also with waterH4325. {ran: Heb. went}
And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.
Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585.
And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, The LORDH3068, he is the GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is the GodH430.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto AhabH256, Get thee upH5927, eatH398 and drinkH8354; for there is a soundH6963 of abundanceH1995 of rainH1653. {a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain}
So AhabH256 went upH5927 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354. And ElijahH452 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of CarmelH3760; and he cast himself downH1457 upon the earthH776, and putH7760 his faceH6440 between his kneesH1290,
And saidH559 to his servantH5288, Go upH5927 now, lookH5027 towardH1870 the seaH3220. And he went upH5927, and lookedH5027, and saidH559, There is nothingH3972. And he saidH559, Go againH7725 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventh timeH7637, that he saidH559, Behold, there arisethH5927 a littleH6996 cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, like a man'sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559, Go upH5927, sayH559 unto AhabH256, PrepareH631 thy chariot, and get thee downH3381, that the rainH1653 stopH6113 thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
And it came to pass in the mean whileH3541, that the heavenH8064 was blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there was a greatH1419 rainH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157.
And the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was on ElijahH452; and he girded upH8151 his loinsH4975, and ranH7323 beforeH6440 AhabH256 to the entranceH935 of JezreelH3157. {to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}
WhenG3752 ye thereforeG3767 shall seeG1492 the abominationG946 of desolationG2050, spoken ofG4483 byG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standG2476 inG1722 the holyG40 placeG5117, (whoso readethG314, let him understandG3539:)
Why do the heathenH1471 rageH7283, and the peopleH3816 imagineH1897 a vain thingH7385? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 setH3320 themselves, and the rulersH7336 take counselH3245 togetherH3162, against the LORDH3068, and against his anointedH4899, saying,
Let us breakH5423 their bandsH4147 asunderH5423, and cast awayH7993 their cordsH5688 from us.
He that sittethH3427 in the heavensH8064 shall laughH7832: the LordH136 shall have them in derisionH3932.
Then shall he speakH1696 unto them in his wrathH639, and vexH926 them in his sore displeasureH2740. {vex: or, trouble}
Yet have I setH5258 my kingH4428 upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of ZionH6726. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon…: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
AskH7592 of me, and I shall giveH5414 thee the heathenH1471 for thine inheritanceH5159, and the uttermost partsH657 of the earthH776 for thy possessionH272.
Thou shalt breakH7489 them with a rodH7626 of ironH1270; thou shalt dash them in piecesH5310 like a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627.
Be wiseH7919 now therefore, O ye kingsH4428: be instructedH3256, ye judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
ServeH5647 the LORDH3068 with fearH3374, and rejoiceH1523 with tremblingH7461.
KissH5401 the SonH1248, lest he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 from the wayH1870, when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197 but a littleH4592. BlessedH835 are all they that put their trustH2620 in him.
