The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 73: Apocalypse: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Revelation
13:13. And he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down
from heaven unto the earth, in the sight of men.
13:14. And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs which
were given him to do in the sight of the beast: saying to them that
dwell on the earth that they should make the image of the beast which
had the wound by the sword and lived.
13:15. And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and
that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that
whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain.
13:16. And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor,
freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand or on their
foreheads:
13:17. And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the
character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18. Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the
number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of
him is six hundred sixty-six.
Six hundred sixty-six... The numeral letters of his name shall make up
this number.
Apocalypse Chapter 14
Of the Lamb and of the virgins that follow him. Of the judgments that
shall fall upon the wicked.
14:1. And I beheld: and lo a Lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an
hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father
written on their foreheads.
14:2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the noise of many waters and
as the voice of great thunder. And the voice which I heard was as the
voice of harpers, harping on their harps.
14:3. And they sung as it were a new canticle, before the throne and
before the four living creatures and the ancients: and no man could say
the canticle, but those hundred forty-four thousand who were purchased
from the earth.
14:4. These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are
virgins. These follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were
purchased from among men, the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
14:5. And in their mouth there was found no lie: for they are without
spot before the throne of God.
14:6. And I saw another angel flying through the midst of heaven, having
the eternal gospel, to preach unto them that sit upon the earth and over
every nation and tribe and tongue and people:
14:7. Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord and give him honour,
because the hour of his judgment is come. And adore ye him that made
heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of waters.
14:8. And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is fallen,
is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of
her fornication.
