book: 1John
contenido:
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.


book: 1John
contenido:
Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.


book: 1John
contenido:
Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is.


book: 1John
contenido:
Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.


book: 1John
contenido:
But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.


book: 1John
contenido:
Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.


book: 1John
contenido:
So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.


book: 1John
contenido:
We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous.


book: 1John
contenido:
If we love our Christian brothers and sisters, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead.


book: 1John
contenido:
Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don’t have eternal life within them.


book: 1John
contenido:
We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.


book: 1John
contenido:
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?


book: 1John
contenido:
Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.


book: 1John

And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us.


book: 1John
contenido:
Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.


book: 1John
contenido:
Discerning False Prophets Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.


book: 1John
contenido:
This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.


book: 1John
contenido:
But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.


book: 1John
contenido:
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.


book: 1John
contenido:
Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them.


book: 1John
contenido:
But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception.


book: 1John
contenido:
Loving One Another Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.


book: 1John
contenido:
God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.


book: 1John
contenido:
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.


book: 1John
contenido:
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.


book: 1John
contenido:
Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.


book: 1John
contenido:
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.


book: 1John
contenido:
And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.


book: 1John
contenido:
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.


book: 1John
contenido:
If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?


book: 1John
contenido:
And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters.


book: 1John

book: 1John
contenido:
And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross—not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony.


book: 1John
contenido:
Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son.


book: 1John
contenido:
All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don’t believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don’t believe what God has testified about his Son.


book: 1John
contenido:
Conclusion I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.


book: 1John
contenido:
And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.


book: 1John
contenido:
If you see a Christian brother or sister sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it.


book: 1John
contenido:
We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them.


book: 1John
contenido:
We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the control of the evil one.


book: 1John
contenido:
And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.

book: 2John
contenido:
I am writing to remind you, dear friends, that we should love one another. This is not a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning.


book: 2John
contenido:
Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.


book: 2John
contenido:
I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist.


book: 2John
contenido:
Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward.


book: 2John
contenido:
Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.


book: 2John
contenido:
If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don’t invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement.

book: 3John
contenido:
I wrote to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be the leader, refuses to have anything to do with us.


book: 3John
contenido:
When I come, I will report some of the things he is doing and the evil accusations he is making against us. Not only does he refuse to welcome the traveling teachers, he also tells others not to help them. And when they do help, he puts them out of the church.


book: 3John
contenido:
Dear friend, don’t let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God.


book: 3John
contenido:
Everyone speaks highly of Demetrius, as does the truth itself. We ourselves can say the same for him, and you know we speak the truth.

book: Jude
contenido:
Greetings from Jude This letter is from Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of James. I am writing to all who have been called by God the Father, who loves you and keeps you safe in the care of Jesus Christ.


book: Jude
contenido:
The Danger of False Teachers Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people.


book: Jude
contenido:
I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.


book: Jude
contenido:
So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful.


book: Jude
contenido:
And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day of judgment.


book: Jude
contenido:
And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment.


book: Jude
contenido:
In the same way, these people—who claim authority from their dreams—live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings.


book: Jude
contenido:
But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses’ body.)


book: Jude
contenido:
But these people scoff at things they do not understand. Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction.


book: Jude
contenido:
What sorrow awaits them! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their rebellion.


book: Jude
contenido:
When these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the Lord’s love, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you. They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves. They are like clouds blowing over the land without giving any rain. They are like trees in autumn that are doubly dead, for they bear no fruit and have been pulled up by the roots.


book: Jude
contenido:
They are like wild waves of the sea, churning up the foam of their shameful deeds. They are like wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest darkness.


book: Jude
contenido:
Enoch, who lived in the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, “Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of his holy ones


book: Jude
contenido:
to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”


book: Jude
contenido:
These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want.


book: Jude
contenido:
A Call to Remain Faithful But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said.


book: Jude
contenido:
They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires.


book: Jude
contenido:
These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.


book: Jude
contenido:
But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit,


book: Jude
contenido:
and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.


book: Jude
contenido:
Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.


book: Jude
contenido:
A Prayer of Praise Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.


book: Jude
contenido:
All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

Vision of the Son of Man I, John, am your brother and your partner in suffering and in God’s Kingdom and in the patient endurance to which Jesus calls us. I was exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the word of God and for my testimony about Jesus.


book: Rev
contenido:
It was the Lord’s Day, and I was worshiping in the Spirit. Suddenly, I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet blast.


book: Rev
contenido:
It said, “Write in a book everything you see, and send it to the seven churches in the cities of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest.


book: Rev
contenido:
His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire.


book: Rev
contenido:
His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves.


book: Rev
contenido:
He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance.


book: Rev
contenido:
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last.


book: Rev
contenido:
I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.


book: Rev
contenido:
“Write down what you have seen—both the things that are now happening and the things that will happen.


book: Rev
contenido:

book: Rev
contenido:
The Message to the Church in Ephesus “Write this letter to the angel of the church in Ephesus. This is the message from the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand, the one who walks among the seven gold lampstands:


book: Rev
contenido:
“I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you don’t tolerate evil people. You have examined the claims of those who say they are apostles but are not. You have discovered they are liars.


book: Rev
contenido:
Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches.


book: Rev
contenido:
“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Message to the Church in Smyrna “Write this letter to the angel of the church in Smyrna. This is the message from the one who is the First and the Last, who was dead but is now alive:


book: Rev
contenido:
“I know about your suffering and your poverty—but you are rich! I know the blasphemy of those opposing you. They say they are Jews, but they are not, because their synagogue belongs to Satan.


book: Rev
contenido:
Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you. You will suffer for ten days. But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life.

book: Rev

book: Rev
contenido:
“But I have a few complaints against you. You tolerate some among you whose teaching is like that of Balaam, who showed Balak how to trip up the people of Israel. He taught them to sin by eating food offered to idols and by committing sexual sin.

Repent of your sin, or I will come to you suddenly and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.


book: Rev
contenido:
“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven.

book: Rev
contenido:

“I know all the things you do. I have seen your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance. And I can see your constant improvement in all these things.

“But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman—that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet—to lead my servants astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols.


book: Rev
contenido:
“Therefore, I will throw her on a bed of suffering, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they repent and turn away from her evil deeds.


book: Rev

I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve.


book: Rev
contenido:
“But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching (‘deeper truths,’ as they call them—depths of Satan, actually). I will ask nothing more of you

book: Rev
contenido:
Wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find that your actions do not meet the requirements of my God.


book: Rev

Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don’t wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief.

book: Rev
contenido:
“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.

book: Rev

Worship in Heaven Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow.


book: Rev
contenido:
Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads.


book: Rev
contenido:
From the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. And in front of the throne were seven torches with burning flames. This is the sevenfold Spirit of God.


book: Rev
contenido:
In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal. In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes, front and back.


book: Rev
contenido:
The first of these living beings was like a lion; the second was like an ox; the third had a human face; and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.


book: Rev
contenido:
Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever),


book: Rev
contenido:
the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say,


book: Rev
contenido:
“You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The Lamb Opens the Scroll Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. There was writing on the inside and the outside of the scroll, and it was sealed with seven seals.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I saw a strong angel, who shouted with a loud voice: “Who is worthy to break the seals on this scroll and open it?”


book: Rev
contenido:
But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.


book: Rev
contenido:
And they sang a new song with these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.


book: Rev
contenido:
And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders.


book: Rev
contenido:
And they sang in a mighty chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang: “Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And the four living beings said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped the Lamb.


book: Rev

The Lamb Breaks the First Six Seals As I watched, the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals on the scroll. Then I heard one of the four living beings say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”


book: Rev
contenido:
I looked up and saw a white horse standing there. Its rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed on his head. He rode out to win many battles and gain the victory.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and the authority to take peace from the earth. And there was war and slaughter everywhere.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, “Come!” I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I heard a voice from among the four living beings say, “A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive oil and wine.”


book: Rev
contenido:
I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green. Its rider was named Death, and his companion was the Grave. These two were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease and wild animals.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of all who had been martyred for the word of God and for being faithful in their testimony.


book: Rev
contenido:
They shouted to the Lord and said, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters—their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred—had joined them.


book: Rev
contenido:
I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as black cloth, and the moon became as red as blood.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind.


book: Rev
contenido:
The sky was rolled up like a scroll, and all of the mountains and islands were moved from their places.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then everyone—the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the wealthy, the powerful, and every slave and free person—all hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.


book: Rev
contenido:
And they cried to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.


book: Rev
contenido:
God’s People Will Be Preserved Then I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds so they did not blow on the earth or the sea, or even on any tree.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I saw another angel coming up from the east, carrying the seal of the living God. And he shouted to those four angels, who had been given power to harm land and sea,


book: Rev
contenido:
“Wait! Don’t harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed the seal of God on the foreheads of his servants.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And I heard how many were marked with the seal of God—144,000 were sealed from all the tribes of Israel:


book: Rev
contenido:
Praise from the Great Crowd After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands.


book: Rev
contenido:
And they were shouting with a great roar, “Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!”


book: Rev
contenido:
And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God.


book: Rev
contenido:
They sang, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever! Amen.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then one of the twenty-four elders asked me, “Who are these who are clothed in white? Where did they come from?”


book: Rev
contenido:
And I said to him, “Sir, you are the one who knows.” Then he said to me, “These are the ones who died in the great tribulation. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.


book: Rev
contenido:
“That is why they stand in front of God’s throne and serve him day and night in his Temple. And he who sits on the throne will give them shelter.


book: Rev
contenido:
For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The Lamb Breaks the Seventh Seal When the Lamb broke the seventh seal on the scroll, there was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar. And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God’s people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne.


book: Rev
contenido:
The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God’s holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.


book: Rev
contenido:
The First Four Trumpets Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts.


book: Rev
contenido:
The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. One-third of the earth was set on fire, one-third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the water in the sea became blood,


book: Rev
contenido:
one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water.


book: Rev
contenido:
The name of the star was Bitterness. It made one-third of the water bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter water.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun was struck, and one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars, and they became dark. And one-third of the day was dark, and also one-third of the night.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I looked, and I heard a single eagle crying loudly as it flew through the air, “Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The Fifth Trumpet Brings the First Terror Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.


book: Rev
contenido:
When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.


book: Rev
contenido:
They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.


book: Rev
contenido:
They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.


book: Rev
contenido:
In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!


book: Rev
contenido:
The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces.


book: Rev
contenido:
Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon—the Destroyer.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Sixth Trumpet Brings the Second Terror Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God.


book: Rev
contenido:
And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
And in my vision, I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them. The riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow. The horses had heads like lions, and fire and smoke and burning sulfur billowed from their mouths.


book: Rev
contenido:
One-third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues—by the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses.


book: Rev
contenido:
Their power was in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people.


book: Rev
contenido:
But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!


book: Rev
contenido:
And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Angel and the Small Scroll Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.


book: Rev
contenido:
And in his hand was a small scroll that had been opened. He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.


book: Rev
contenido:
And he gave a great shout like the roar of a lion. And when he shouted, the seven thunders answered.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Keep secret what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down.”


book: Rev
contenido:
He swore an oath in the name of the one who lives forever and ever, who created the heavens and everything in them, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it. He said, “There will be no more delay.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the seventh angel blows his trumpet, God’s mysterious plan will be fulfilled. It will happen just as he announced it to his servants the prophets.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the voice from heaven spoke to me again: “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”


book: Rev
contenido:
So I went to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. “Yes, take it and eat it,” he said. “It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will turn sour in your stomach!”


book: Rev
contenido:
So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it turned sour in my stomach.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Two Witnesses Then I was given a measuring stick, and I was told, “Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers.


book: Rev
contenido:
But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will be clothed in burlap and will prophesy during those 1,260 days.”


book: Rev
contenido:
These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die.


book: Rev
contenido:
They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.


book: Rev
contenido:
When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pit will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them.


book: Rev
contenido:
And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem, the city that is figuratively called “Sodom” and “Egypt,” the city where their Lord was crucified.


book: Rev
contenido:
And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them.


book: Rev
contenido:
All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them.


book: Rev
contenido:
But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, “Come up here!” And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.


book: Rev
contenido:
At the same time there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city. Seven thousand people died in that earthquake, and everyone else was terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Seventh Trumpet Brings the Third Terror Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: “The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their faces to the ground and worshiped him.


book: Rev
contenido:
And they said, “We give thanks to you, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who always was, for now you have assumed your great power and have begun to reign.


book: Rev
contenido:
The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of your wrath has come. It is time to judge the dead and reward your servants the prophets, as well as your holy people, and all who fear your name, from the least to the greatest. It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Woman and the Dragon Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I witnessed in heaven another significant event. I saw a large red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his heads.


book: Rev
contenido:
His tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky, and he threw them to the earth. He stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born.


book: Rev
contenido:
She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne.


book: Rev
contenido:
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260 days.


book: Rev
contenido:
This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has come at last— salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth— the one who accuses them before our God day and night.


book: Rev
contenido:
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.


book: Rev
contenido:
Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little time.”


book: Rev
contenido:
When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.


book: Rev
contenido:
But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon for a time, times, and half a time.


book: Rev
contenido:
But the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that gushed out from the mouth of the dragon.


book: Rev
contenido:
And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Beast out of the Sea Then I saw a beast rising up out of the sea. It had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns on its horns. And written on each head were names that blasphemed God.


book: Rev
contenido:
This beast looked like a leopard, but it had the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion! And the dragon gave the beast his own power and throne and great authority.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery—but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast.


book: Rev
contenido:
They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. “Who is as great as the beast?” they exclaimed. “Who is able to fight against him?”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months.


book: Rev
contenido:
And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name and his dwelling—that is, those who dwell in heaven.


book: Rev
contenido:
And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation.


book: Rev
contenido:
And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made—the Book that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered.


book: Rev
contenido:
Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Beast out of the Earth Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon.


book: Rev
contenido:
He exercised all the authority of the first beast. And he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.


book: Rev
contenido:
He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching.


book: Rev
contenido:
And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life.


book: Rev
contenido:
He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.


book: Rev
contenido:
He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.


book: Rev
contenido:
And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.


book: Rev
contenido:
Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Lamb and the 144,000 Then I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of mighty ocean waves or the rolling of loud thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists playing together.


book: Rev
contenido:
This great choir sang a wonderful new song in front of the throne of God and before the four living beings and the twenty-four elders. No one could learn this song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
They have kept themselves as pure as virgins, following the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been purchased from among the people on the earth as a special offering to God and to the Lamb.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Three Angels And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.


book: Rev
contenido:
“Fear God,” he shouted. “Give glory to him. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then another angel followed him through the sky, shouting, “Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen—because she made all the nations of the world drink the wine of her passionate immorality.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand


book: Rev
contenido:
must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb.


book: Rev
contenido:
The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name.”


book: Rev
contenido:
This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”


book: Rev
contenido:
The Harvest of the Earth Then I saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was someone like the Son of Man. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then another angel came from the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, “Swing the sickle, for the time of harvest has come; the crop on earth is ripe.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then another angel, who had power to destroy with fire, came from the altar. He shouted to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Swing your sickle now to gather the clusters of grapes from the vines of the earth, for they are ripe for judgment.”


book: Rev
contenido:
So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and loaded the grapes into the great winepress of God’s wrath.


book: Rev
contenido:
The grapes were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse’s bridle.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Song of Moses and of the Lamb Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God’s wrath to completion.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name. They were all holding harps that God had given them.


book: Rev
contenido:
And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations.


book: Rev
contenido:
Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The Seven Bowls of the Seven Plagues Then I looked and saw that the Temple in heaven, God’s Tabernacle, was thrown wide open.


book: Rev
contenido:
The seven angels who were holding the seven plagues came out of the Temple. They were clothed in spotless white linen with gold sashes across their chests.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then one of the four living beings handed each of the seven angels a gold bowl filled with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Temple was filled with smoke from God’s glory and power. No one could enter the Temple until the seven angels had completed pouring out the seven plagues.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard a mighty voice from the Temple say to the seven angels, “Go your ways and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.”


book: Rev
contenido:
So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse. And everything in the sea died.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying, “You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was, because you have sent these judgments.


book: Rev
contenido:
Since they shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets, you have given them blood to drink. It is their just reward.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And I heard a voice from the altar, saying, “Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, your judgments are true and just.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over all these plagues. They did not repent of their sins and turn to God and give him glory.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. His subjects ground their teeth in anguish,


book: Rev
contenido:
and they cursed the God of heaven for their pains and sores. But they did not repent of their evil deeds and turn to God.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies toward the west without hindrance.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.


book: Rev
contenido:
They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty.


book: Rev
contenido:
“Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. And a mighty shout came from the throne in the Temple, saying, “It is finished!”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And a great earthquake struck—the worst since people were placed on the earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
The great city of Babylon split into three sections, and the cities of many nations fell into heaps of rubble. So God remembered all of Babylon’s sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath.


book: Rev
contenido:
There was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing as much as seventy-five pounds fell from the sky onto the people below. They cursed God because of the terrible plague of the hailstorm.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Great Prostitute One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. “Come with me,” he said, “and I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters.


book: Rev
contenido:
The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.”


book: Rev
contenido:
So the angel took me in the Spirit into the wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it.


book: Rev
contenido:
The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing and beautiful jewelry made of gold and precious gems and pearls. In her hand she held a gold goblet full of obscenities and the impurities of her immorality.


book: Rev
contenido:
A mysterious name was written on her forehead: “Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World.”


book: Rev
contenido:
I could see that she was drunk—drunk with the blood of God’s holy people who were witnesses for Jesus. I stared at her in complete amazement.


book: Rev
contenido:
“Why are you so amazed?” the angel asked. “I will tell you the mystery of this woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns on which she sits.


book: Rev
contenido:
The beast you saw was once alive but isn’t now. And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit and go to eternal destruction. And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died.


book: Rev
contenido:
“This calls for a mind with understanding: The seven heads of the beast represent the seven hills where the woman rules. They also represent seven kings.


book: Rev
contenido:
Five kings have already fallen, the sixth now reigns, and the seventh is yet to come, but his reign will be brief.


book: Rev
contenido:
“The scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction.


book: Rev
contenido:
The ten horns of the beast are ten kings who have not yet risen to power. They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment to reign with the beast.


book: Rev
contenido:
Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the angel said to me, “The waters where the prostitute is ruling represent masses of people of every nation and language.


book: Rev
contenido:
The scarlet beast and his ten horns all hate the prostitute. They will strip her naked, eat her flesh, and burn her remains with fire.


book: Rev
contenido:
For God has put a plan into their minds, a plan that will carry out his purposes. They will agree to give their authority to the scarlet beast, and so the words of God will be fulfilled.


book: Rev
contenido:
And this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The Fall of Babylon After all this I saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority, and the earth grew bright with his splendor.


book: Rev
contenido:
He gave a mighty shout: “Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a hideout for every foul spirit, a hideout for every foul vulture and every foul and dreadful animal.

For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of her passionate immorality. The kings of the world have committed adultery with her. Because of her desires for extravagant luxury, the merchants of the world have grown rich.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard another voice calling from heaven, “Come away from her, my people. Do not take part in her sins, or you will be punished with her.


book: Rev
contenido:
Do to her as she has done to others. Double her penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed a cup of terror for others, so brew twice as much for her.


book: Rev
contenido:
She glorified herself and lived in luxury, so match it now with torment and sorrow. She boasted in her heart, ‘I am queen on my throne. I am no helpless widow, and I have no reason to mourn.’


book: Rev
contenido:
Therefore, these plagues will overtake her in a single day— death and mourning and famine. She will be completely consumed by fire, for the Lord God who judges her is mighty.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And the kings of the world who committed adultery with her and enjoyed her great luxury will mourn for her as they see the smoke rising from her charred remains.


book: Rev
contenido:
They will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment. They will cry out, “How terrible, how terrible for you, O Babylon, you great city! In a single moment God’s judgment came on you.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The merchants of the world will weep and mourn for her, for there is no one left to buy their goods.


book: Rev
contenido:
She bought great quantities of gold, silver, jewels, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth; things made of fragrant thyine wood, ivory goods, and objects made of expensive wood; and bronze, iron, and marble.


book: Rev
contenido:
She also bought cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and bodies—that is, human slaves.


book: Rev
contenido:
“The fancy things you loved so much are gone,” they cry. “All your luxuries and splendor are gone forever, never to be yours again.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The merchants who became wealthy by selling her these things will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment. They will weep and cry out,


book: Rev
contenido:
“How terrible, how terrible for that great city! She was clothed in finest purple and scarlet linens, decked out with gold and precious stones and pearls!


book: Rev
contenido:
In a single moment all the wealth of the city is gone!” And all the captains of the merchant ships and their passengers and sailors and crews will stand at a distance.


book: Rev
contenido:
They will cry out as they watch the smoke ascend, and they will say, “Where is there another city as great as this?”


book: Rev
contenido:
And they will weep and throw dust on their heads to show their grief. And they will cry out, “How terrible, how terrible for that great city! The shipowners became wealthy by transporting her great wealth on the seas. In a single moment it is all gone.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Rejoice over her fate, O heaven and people of God and apostles and prophets! For at last God has judged her for your sakes.


book: Rev

Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a huge millstone. He threw it into the ocean and shouted, “Just like this, the great city Babylon will be thrown down with violence and will never be found again.


book: Rev
contenido:
The sound of harps, singers, flutes, and trumpets will never be heard in you again. No craftsmen and no trades will ever be found in you again. The sound of the mill will never be heard in you again.


book: Rev
contenido:
The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The happy voices of brides and grooms will never be heard in you again. For your merchants were the greatest in the world, and you deceived the nations with your sorceries.


book: Rev
contenido:
In your streets flowed the blood of the prophets and of God’s holy people and the blood of people slaughtered all over the world.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Songs of Victory in Heaven After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting, “Praise the Lord! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.


book: Rev
contenido:
His judgments are true and just. He has punished the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the murder of his servants.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And again their voices rang out: “Praise the Lord! The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever!”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne. They cried out, “Amen! Praise the Lord!”


book: Rev
contenido:
And from the throne came a voice that said, “Praise our God, all his servants, all who fear him, from the least to the greatest.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder: “Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.


book: Rev
contenido:
Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself.


book: Rev
contenido:
She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.” For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people.


book: Rev
contenido:
And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The Rider on the White Horse Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war.


book: Rev
contenido:
His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself.


book: Rev
contenido:
From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, shouting to the vultures flying high in the sky: “Come! Gather together for the great banquet God has prepared.


book: Rev
contenido:
Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave, small and great.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army.


book: Rev
contenido:
And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.


book: Rev
contenido:
Their entire army was killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the one riding the white horse. And the vultures all gorged themselves on the dead bodies.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Thousand Years Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand.


book: Rev
contenido:
He seized the dragon—that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years.


book: Rev
contenido:
The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were finished. Afterward he must be released for a little while.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.)


book: Rev
contenido:
Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years.


book: Rev
contenido:
He will go out to deceive the nations—called Gog and Magog—in every corner of the earth. He will gather them together for battle—a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God’s people and the beloved city. But fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consumed them.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Final Judgment And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.


book: Rev
contenido:
The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds.


book: Rev
contenido:
The New Jerusalem Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.


book: Rev
contenido:
I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.


book: Rev
contenido:
He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life.


book: Rev
contenido:
All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.


book: Rev
contenido:
“But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”


book: Rev
contenido:
So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.


book: Rev
contenido:
The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates.


book: Rev
contenido:
The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.


book: Rev
contenido:
The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.


book: Rev
contenido:
When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (according to the human standard used by the angel).


book: Rev
contenido:
The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve precious stones: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,


book: Rev
contenido:
the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.


book: Rev
contenido:
The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.


book: Rev
contenido:
And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light.


book: Rev
contenido:
The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory.


book: Rev
contenido:
Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.


book: Rev
contenido:
It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.


book: Rev
contenido:
No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him.


book: Rev
contenido:
And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the angel said to me, “Everything you have heard and seen is trustworthy and true. The Lord God, who inspires his prophets, has sent his angel to tell his servants what will happen soon.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Jesus Is Coming “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book.”


book: Rev
contenido:
I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.


book: Rev
contenido:
But he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!”


book: Rev
contenido:
Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life.


book: Rev
contenido:
Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.


book: Rev
contenido:
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.


book: Rev
contenido:
And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book.


book: Rev
contenido:
And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.


book: Rev
contenido:
He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
