Revelation 14:18 - Prayer Tents

A Perfect Offering

14I saw—it took my breath away!—the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, One Hundred and Forty-four Thousand standing there with him, his Name and the Name of his Father inscribed on their foreheads.G2532G1492G2532G2400G721G2476G1909G3735G4622G2532G3326G846G1540G5062G5064G5505G2192G846G3962G3686G1125G1909G846G3359

2And I heard a voice out of Heaven, the sound like a cataract, like the crash of thunder. And then I heard music, harp musicG2532G191G5456G1537G3772G5613G5456G4183G5204G2532G5613G5456G3173G1027G2532G191G5456G2790G2789G1722G846G2788

3and the harpists singing a new song before the Throne and the Four Animals and the Elders. Only the Hundred and Forty-four Thousand could learn to sing the song. They were bought from earth,G2532G103G5613G2537G5603G1799G2362G2532G1799G5064G2226G2532G4245G2532G3762G1410G3129G5603G1508G1540G5062G5064G5505G3588G59G575G1093

4lived without compromise, virgin-fresh before God. Wherever the Lamb went, they followed. They were bought from humankind, firstfruits of the harvest for God and the Lamb.G3778G1526G3739G3435G3756G3435G3326G1135G1063G1526G3933G3778G1526G3588G190G721G3699G302G5217G3778G59G575G444G536G2316G2532G721

5Not a false word in their mouths. A perfect offering.G2532G1722G846G4750G2147G3756G1388G1063G1526G299G1799G2362G2316

Voices from Heaven

6I saw another Angel soaring in Middle-Heaven. He had an Eternal Message to preach to all who were still on earth, every nation and tribe, every tongue and people.G2532G1492G243G32G4072G1722G3321G2192G166G2098G2097G2730G1909G1093G2532G3956G1484G2532G5443G2532G1100G2532G2992

7He preached in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory! His hour of judgment has come! Worship the Maker of Heaven and earth, salt sea and fresh water!"G3004G1722G3173G5456G5399G2316G2532G1325G1391G846G3754G5610G846G2920G2064G2532G4352G4160G3772G2532G1093G2532G2281G2532G4077G5204

8A second Angel followed, calling out, "Ruined, ruined, Great Babylon ruined! She made all the nations drunk on the wine of her whoring!"G2532G190G243G32G3004G897G4098G4098G3173G4172G3754G4222G3956G1484G4222G1537G3631G2372G846G4202

9A third Angel followed, shouting, warning, "If anyone worships the Beast and its image and takes the mark on forehead or hand,G2532G5154G32G190G846G3004G1722G3173G5456G1536G4352G2342G2532G846G1504G2532G2983G5480G1909G846G3359G2228G1909G846G5495

10that person will drink the wine of God's wrath, prepared unmixed in his chalice of anger, and suffer torment from fire and brimstone in the presence of Holy Angels, in the presence of the Lamb.G846G2532G4095G1537G3631G2372G2316G3588G2767G194G1722G4221G846G3709G2532G928G1722G4442G2532G2303G1799G40G32G2532G1799G721

11Smoke from their torment will rise age after age. No respite for those who worship the Beast and its image, who take the mark of its name."G2532G2586G846G929G305G1519G165G165G2532G2192G3756G372G2250G2532G3571G3588G4352G2342G2532G846G1504G2532G1536G2983G5480G846G3686

12Meanwhile, the saints stand passionately patient, keeping God's commands, staying faithful to Jesus.G5602G2076G5281G40G5602G5083G1785G2316G2532G4102G2424

13I heard a voice out of Heaven, "Write this: Blessed are those who die in the Master from now on; how blessed to die that way!" "Yes," says the Spirit, "and blessed rest from their hard, hard work. None of what they've done is wasted; God blesses them for it all in the end."G2532G191G5456G1537G3772G3004G3427G1125G3107G3498G3588G599G1722G2962G534G3483G3004G4151G2443G373G1537G846G2873G1161G846G2041G190G3326G846

Harvest Time

14I looked up, I caught my breath!—a white cloud and one like the Son of Man sitting on it. He wore a gold crown and held a sharp sickle.G2532G1492G2532G2400G3022G3507G2532G1909G3507G2521G3664G5207G444G2192G1909G846G2776G5552G4735G2532G1722G846G5495G3691G1407

15Another Angel came out of the Temple, shouting to the Cloud-Enthroned, "Swing your sickle and reap. It's harvest time. Earth's harvest is ripe for reaping."G2532G243G32G1831G1537G3485G2896G1722G3173G5456G2521G1909G3507G3992G4675G1407G2532G2325G3754G5610G2064G4671G2325G3754G2326G1093G3583

16The Cloud-Enthroned gave a mighty sweep of his sickle, began harvesting earth in a stroke.G2532G2521G1909G3507G906G846G1407G1909G1093G2532G1093G2325

17Then another Angel came out of the Temple in Heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.G2532G243G32G1831G1537G3485G3588G1722G3772G846G2532G2192G3691G1407

18Yet another Angel, the one in charge of tending the fire, came from the Altar. He thundered to the Angel who held the sharp sickle, "Swing your sharp sickle. Harvest earth's vineyard. The grapes are bursting with ripeness."G2532G243G32G1831G1537G2379G2192G1849G1909G4442G2532G5455G3173G2906G2192G3691G1407G3004G3992G4675G3691G1407G2532G5166G1009G288G1093G3754G846G4718G187

19The Angel swung his sickle, harvested earth's vintage, and heaved it into the winepress, the giant winepress of God's wrath.G2532G32G906G846G1407G1519G1093G2532G5166G288G1093G2532G906G1519G3173G3025G2372G2316

20The winepress was outside the City. As the vintage was trodden, blood poured from the winepress as high as a horse's bridle, a river of blood for two hundred miles.G2532G3025G3961G1854G4172G2532G129G1831G1537G3025G891G2462G5469G575G5507G1812G4712
