In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 14:1-5The Lamb on mount Sion
About Revelation 14John sees "a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand," who "follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth." Three angels fly: one with "the everlasting gospel" saying, "Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come," one crying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city," and one warning that whoever worships the beast "shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God." A voice says, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth," and one "like unto the Son of man" with a sharp sickle reaps the earth, and the vine is cast "into the great winepress of the wrath of God."
