Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Revelation
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Revelation
016:013 Then I saw three foul spirits, resembling frogs, issue from
the mouth of the Dragon, from the mouth of the Wild Beast,
and from the mouth of the false Prophet.
016:014 For they are the spirits of demons working marvels--
spirits that go out to control the kings of the whole earth,
to assemble them for the battle which is to take place on
the great day of God, the Ruler of all.
016:015 ("I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the man who keeps
awake and guards his raiment for fear he walk about ill-clad,
and his uncomeliness become manifest.")
016:016 And assemble them they did at the place called
in Hebrew 'Har-Magedon.'
016:017 Then the seventh angel poured his bowl into the air;
and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary from the throne,
saying, "Everything is now ready."
016:018 Flashes of lightning followed, and voices, and peals of thunder,
and an earthquake more dreadful than there had ever been
since there was a man upon the earth--so terrible was it,
and so great!
016:019 The great city was split into three parts; the cities of
the nations fell; and great Babylon came into remembrance
before God, for Him to make her drink from the wine-cup
of His fierce anger.
016:020 Every island fled away, and there was not a mountain anywhere
to be seen.
016:021 And heavy hail, that seemed to be a talent in weight,
fell from the sky upon the people; and they spoke evil of God
on account of the plague of the hail--because the plague
of it was exceedingly severe.
017:001 Then one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven
bowls came and spoke to me. "Come with me," he said,
"and I will show you the doom of the great Harlot who sits
upon many waters.
017:002 The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with
the wine of her fornication."
017:003 So he carried me away in the Spirit into a desert, and there
I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored Wild Beast
which was covered with names of blasphemy and had seven heads
and ten horns.
017:004 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was
brilliantly attired with gold and jewels and pearls.
She held in her hand a cup of gold, full of abominations,
and she gave filthy indications of her fornication.
017:005 And on her forehead was a name written: "I am a symbol of
great Babylon, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations
of the earth."
017:006 And I saw the woman drinking herself drunk with the blood
of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.
And when I saw her I was filled with utter astonishment.
