²⁷ And then he will send out the angels, and will get together his saints from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.

³¹ And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

⁶ And I said to him, Where are you going? And he said to me, To take the measure of Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.

⁴ Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;

⁴¹ The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,

²⁰ And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.

²² Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.

¹ Now as to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him, it is our desire, my brothers,

⁶ And the seven angels who had the seven punishments came out from the house of God, clothed with linen, clean and bright and with bands of gold about their breasts.

⁷ And one of the four beasts gave to the seven angels seven gold vessels full of the wrath of God, who is living for ever and ever.

⁵ Of the tribe of Judah were marked twelve thousand: of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand: of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand:

⁶ Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand: of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand: of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand:

⁷ Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand:

⁸ Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand: of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand: of the tribe of Benjamin were marked twelve thousand.

⁹ After these things I saw a great army of people more than might be numbered, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and languages, taking their places before the high seat and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and with branches in their hands,

¹ After this I saw four angels in their places at the four points of the earth, keeping back the four winds in their hands, so that there might be no moving of the wind on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

² And I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the mark of the living God: and he said with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to do damage to the earth and the sea,

³ Do no damage to the earth, or the sea, or the trees, till we have put a mark on the servants of our God.

² Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure.

¹⁰ But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

¹⁴ For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

¹⁵ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping.

¹⁶ Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

¹⁷ Then we who are still living will be taken up together with them into the clouds to see the Lord in the air: and so will we be for ever with the Lord.

¹² As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

⁹ And I will take a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who will have my mountains for a heritage: and the people I have taken to be mine will have it for themselves, and my servants will have their resting-place there.

⁴² The queen of the South will come up in the day of judging and give her decision against this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now a greater than Solomon is here.

⁴⁹ So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good,

²² And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

²⁴ For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

³¹ But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:

³² And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.

²² And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

⁷ And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?

¹⁶ And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

⁵² And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

³³ Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;

¹⁰ The rod of authority will not be taken from Judah, and he will not be without a law-giver, till he comes who has the right to it, and the peoples will put themselves under his rule.
