Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
And the nations were angry - Were enraged against thee. This they had shown by their opposition to his laws; by persecuting his people; by slaying his witnesses; by all the attempts which they had made to destroy his authority on the earth. The reference here seems to be to the whole series of events preceding the final establishment of his kingdom on the earth; to all the efforts which had been made to throw off his government and to crush his church. At this period of glorious triumph it was natural to look back to those dark times when the "nations raged" (compare Psa 2:1-3), and when the very existence of the church was in jeopardy. And thy wrath is come - That is, the time when thou wilt punish them for all that they have done in opposition to thee, and when the wicked shall be cut off. There will be, in the setting up of the kingdom of God, some manifestation of his wrath against the powers that opposed it; or something that will show his purpose to destroy his enemies, and to judge the wicked. The representations in this book lead us to suppose that the final establishment of the kingdom of God on the earth will be introduced or accompanied by commotions and wars which will end in the overthrow of the great powers that have opposed his reign, and by such awful calamities in those portions of the world as shall show that God has arisen in his strength to cut off his enemies, and to appear as the vindicator of his people. Compare the notes on Rev 16:12-16; Rev. 19:11-26. And the time of the dead, that they should be judged - According to the view which the course of the exposition thus far pursued leads us to entertain of this book, there is reference here, in few words, to the same thing which is more fully stated in Rev 20:1-15, and the meaning of the sacred writer will, therefore, come up for a more distinct and full examination when we consider that chapter. See the notes on Rev 20:4-6, Rev 20:12-15. The purpose of the writer does not require that a detailed statement of the order of the events referred to should be made here, for it would be better made when, after another line of illustration and of symbol Rev 11:19; Rev. 12-19, he should have reached the same catastrophe, and when, in view of both the mind would be prepared for the fuller description with which the book closes, Rev. 20-22. All that occurs here, therefore, is a very general statement of the final consumation of all things. And that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants - The righteous. Compare Mat 25:34-40; Rev 21:22. That is, in the final winding-up of human affairs, God will bestow the long-promised reward on those who have been his true friends. The wicked that annoyed and persecuted them will annoy and persecute them no more; and the righteous will be publicly acknowledged as the friends of God. For the manner in which this will be done, see the details in Rev. 20-22. The prophets - All who, in every age, have faithfully proclaimed the truth. On the meaning of the word, see the notes on Rev 10:11. And to the saints - To all who are holy - under whatever dispensation, and in whatever land, and at whatever time, they may have lived. Then will be the time when, in a public manner, they will be recognized as belonging to the kingdom of God, and as being his true friends. And them that fear thy name - Another way of designating his people, since religion consists in a profound veneration for God, Mal 3:16; Job 1:1; Psa 15:4; Psa 22:23; Psa 115:11; Pro 1:7; Pro 3:13; Pro 9:10; Isa 11:2; Act 10:22, Act 10:35. Small and great - Young and old; low and high; poor and rich. The language is designed to comprehend all, of every class, who have a claim to be numbered among the friends of God, and it furnishes a plain intimation that people of all classes will be found at last among his true people. One of the glories of the true religion is, that, in bestowing its favors, it disregards all the artificial distinctions of society, and addresses man as man, welcoming all who are human beings to the blessings of life and salvation. This will be illustriously shown in the last period of the world's history, when the distinctions of wealth, and rank, and blood shall lose the importance which has been attributed to them, and when the honor of being a child of God shall have its true place. Compare Gal 3:28. And shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth - That is, all who have, in their conquests, spread desolation over the earth and who have persecuted the righteous, and all who have done injustice and wrong to any class of people. Compare the notes on Rev 20:13-15. Here ends, as I suppose, the first series of visions referred to in the volume sealed with the seven seals, Rev 5:1. At this point, where the division of the chapter should have been made, and which is properly marked in our common Bibles by the sign of the paragraph (),there commences a new series of visions, intended also, but in a different line, to extend down to the consummation of all things. The former series traces the history down mainly through the series of civil changes in the world, or the outward affairs which affect the destiny of the church; the latter - the portion still before us - embraces the same period with a more direct reference to the rise of antichrist, and the influence of that power in affecting the destiny of the Church. When that is completed Rev 11:19; Rev. 12-19, the way is prepared Rev. 20-22 for the more full statement of the final triumph of the gospel, and the universal prevalence of religion, with which the book so appropriately closes. That portion of the book, therefore, refers to the same period as the one which has just been considered under the sounding of the seventh trumpet, and the description of the final state of things would have immediately succeeded if it had not been necessary, by another series of visions, to trace more particularly the history of antichrist on the destiny of the church, and the way in which that great and fearful power would be finally overcome. See the Analysis of the Book, part 5. The way is then prepared for the description of the state of things which will exist when all the enemies of the church shall be subdued; when Christianity shall triumph; and when the predicted reign of God shall be set up on the earth, Rev. 20-22.

Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886]
Were angry (ὀργίσθησαν) See on wrath, Joh 3:36. Compare Psa 2:1. The time (ὁ καιρὸς) See on Mat 12:1. Reward (μισθὸν) See on Pe2 2:13. Destroy (διαφθεῖραι) Also to corrupt. Which destroy (τοὺς διαφθείροντας) Or, the destroyers.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
And the heathen nations were wroth - At the breaking out of the power and kingdom of God. This wrath of the heathens now rises to the highest pitch; but it meets the wrath of the Almighty, and melts away. In this verse is described both the going forth and the end of God's wrath, which together take up several ages. And the time of the dead is come - Both of the quick and dead, of whom those already dead are far the more numerous part. That they be judged - This, being infallibly certain, they speak of as already present. And to give a reward - At the coming of Christ, Rev 22:12; but of free grace, not of debt, To his servants the prophets: To his saints: to them who were eminently holy: To them that fear his name: these are the lowest class. Those who do not even fear God will have no reward from him. Small and great - All universally, young and old, high and low, rich and poor. And to destroy them that destroyed the earth - The earth was destroyed by the "great whore" in particular, Rev 19:2; Rev 17:2, Rev 17:5; but likewise in general, by the open rage and hate of wicked men against all that is good; by wars, and the various destruction and desolation naturally flowing therefrom; by such laws and constitutions as hinder much good, and occasion many offences and calamities; by public scandals, whereby a door is opened for all dissoluteness and unrighteousness; by abuse of secular and spiritual powers; by evil doctrines, maxims, and counsels; by open violence and persecution; and by sins crying to God to send plagues upon the earth. This great work of God, destroying the destroyers, under the trumpet of the seventh angel, is not the third woe, but matter of joy, for which the elders solemnly give thanks. All the woes, and particularly the third, go forth over those "who dwell upon the earth;" but this destruction, over those "who destroy the earth," and were also instruments of that woe.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
The nations were angry - Were enraged against thy Gospel, and determined to destroy it. Thy wrath is come - The time to avenge thy servants and to destroy all thy enemies. The time of the dead, that they should be judged - The word κρινειν, to judge, is often used in the sense of to avenge. The dead, here, may mean those who were slain for the testimony of Jesus, and the judging is the avenging of their blood. Give reward unto thy servants - Who have been faithful unto death. The prophets - The faithful teachers in the Church, the saints - the Christians. And them that fear thy name - All thy sincere followers. Destroy them which destroy the earth - All the authors, fomenters, and encouragers of bloody wars.

¹⁴ And there was given [03052] him dominion [07985], and glory [03367], and a kingdom [04437], that all [03606] people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], should serve [06399] him: his dominion [07985] is an everlasting [05957] dominion [07985], which shall not [03809] pass away [05709], and his kingdom [04437] that which shall not [03809] be destroyed [02255].
¹⁵ I [0576] Daniel [01841] was grieved [03735] in my spirit [07308] in the midst [01459] of my body [05085], and the visions [02376] of my head [07217] troubled [0927] me.
¹⁶ I came near [07127] unto [05922] one [02298] of [04481] them that stood by [06966], and asked [01156] him [04481] the truth [03330] of all [03606] this [01836]. So he told [0560] me, and made me know [03046] the interpretation [06591] of the things [04406].
¹⁷ These [0459] great [07260] beasts [02423], which [0581] are four [0703], are four [0703] kings [04430], which shall arise [06966] out of [04481] the earth [0772].
¹⁸ But the saints [06922] of the most High [05946] shall take [06902] the kingdom [04437], and possess [02631] the kingdom [04437] for [05705] ever [05957], even for [05705] ever [05957] and ever [05957].

²⁷ But [4133] those [1565] mine [3450] enemies [2190], which [3588] would [2309] not [3361] that I [3165] should reign [936] over [1909] them [846], bring [71] hither [5602], and [2532] slay [2695] them before [1715] me [3450].

⁶ For [3754] they have shed [1632] the blood [129] of saints [40] and [2532] prophets [4396], and [2532] thou hast given [1325] them [846] blood [129] to drink [4095]; for [1063] they are [1526] worthy [514].

³ And [2532] I will give [1325] power unto my [3450] two [1417] witnesses [3144], and [2532] they shall prophesy [4395] a thousand [5507] two hundred [1250] and threescore [1835] days [2250], clothed in [4016] sackcloth [4526].

²⁸ Because thy rage [07264] against me and thy tumult [07600] is come up [05927] into mine ears [0241], therefore I will put [07760] my hook [02397] in thy nose [0639], and my bridle [04964] in thy lips [08193], and I will turn thee back [07725] by the way [01870] by which thou camest [0935].

¹⁴ The people [05971] shall hear [08085], and be afraid [07264]: sorrow [02427] shall take hold [0270] on the inhabitants [03427] of Palestina [06429].

¹ The LORD [03068] reigneth [04427]; let the people [05971] tremble [07264]: he sitteth [03427] between the cherubims [03742]; let the earth [0776] be moved [05120].

¹⁹ And [2532] the temple [3485] of God [2316] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] there was seen [3700] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485] the ark [2787] of his [846] testament [1242]: and [2532] there were [1096] lightnings [796], and [2532] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] an earthquake [4578], and [2532] great [3173] hail [5464].

¹ And [2532] I saw [1492] in [1909] the right hand [1188] of him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362] a book [975] written [1125] within [2081] and [2532] on the backside [3693], sealed [2696] with seven [2033] seals [4973].

¹³ And [2532] the sea [2281] gave up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] it [846]; and [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] delivered up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] them [846]: and [2532] they were judged [2919] every man [1538] according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
¹⁴ And [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] were cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. This [3778] is [2076] the second [1208] death [2288].
¹⁵ And [2532] whosoever [1536] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442].

²⁸ There is [1762] neither [3756] Jew [2453] nor [3761] Greek [1672], there is [1762] neither [3756] bond [1401] nor [3761] free [1658], there is [1762] neither [3756] male [730] nor [2532] female [2338]: for [1063] ye [5210] are [2075] all [3956] one [1520] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].

³⁵ But [235] in [1722] every [3956] nation [1484] he that feareth [5399] him [846], and [2532] worketh [2038] righteousness [1343], is [2076] accepted [1184] with him [846].

²² And [1161] they said [2036], Cornelius [2883] the centurion [1543], a just [1342] man [435], and [2532] one that feareth [5399] God [2316], and [5037] of good report [3140] among [5259] all [3650] the nation [1484] of the Jews [2453], was warned from God [5537] by [5259] an holy [40] angel [32] to send [3343] for thee [4571] into [1519] his [846] house [3624], and [2532] to hear [191] words [4487] of [3844] thee [4675].

² And the spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] shall rest [05117] upon him, the spirit [07307] of wisdom [02451] and understanding [0998], the spirit [07307] of counsel [06098] and might [01369], the spirit [07307] of knowledge [01847] and of the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068];

¹⁰ The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is the beginning [08462] of wisdom [02451]: and the knowledge [01847] of the holy [06918] is understanding [0998].

¹³ Happy [0835] is the man [0120] that findeth [04672] wisdom [02451], and the man [0120] that getteth [06329] understanding [08394].

⁷ The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is the beginning [07225] of knowledge [01847]: but fools [0191] despise [0936] wisdom [02451] and instruction [04148].

¹¹ Ye that fear [03373] the LORD [03068], trust [0982] in the LORD [03068]: he is their help [05828] and their shield [04043].

²³ Ye that fear [03373] the LORD [03068], praise [01984] him; all ye the seed [02233] of Jacob [03290], glorify [03513] him; and fear [01481] him, all ye the seed [02233] of Israel [03478].

⁴ In whose eyes [05869] a vile person [03988] is contemned [0959]; but he honoureth [03513] them that fear [03373] the LORD [03068]. He that sweareth [07650] to his own hurt [07489], and changeth [04171] not.

¹ There was a man [0376] in the land [0776] of Uz [05780], whose name [08034] was Job [0347]; and that man [0376] was perfect [08535] and upright [03477], and one that feared [03373] God [0430], and eschewed [05493] evil [07451].

¹⁶ Then they that feared [03373] the LORD [03068] spake often [01696] one [0376] to another [07453]: and the LORD [03068] hearkened [07181], and heard [08085] it, and a book [05612] of remembrance [02146] was written [03789] before [06440] him for them that feared [03373] the LORD [03068], and that thought [02803] upon his name [08034].

¹¹ And [2532] he said [3004] unto me [3427], Thou [4571] must [1163] prophesy [4395] again [3825] before [1909] many [4183] peoples [2992], and [2532] nations [1484], and [2532] tongues [1100], and [2532] kings [935].

²² And [2532] I saw [1492] no [3756] temple [3485] therein [1722] [846]: for [1063] the Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841] and [2532] the Lamb [721] are [2076] the temple [3485] of it [846].

³⁴ Then [5119] shall the King [935] say [2046] unto them on [1537] his [846] right hand [1188], Come [1205], ye blessed [2127] of my [3450] Father [3962], inherit [2816] the kingdom [932] prepared [2090] for you [5213] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]:
³⁵ For [1063] I was an hungred [3983], and [2532] ye gave [1325] me [3427] meat [5315]: I was thirsty [1372], and [2532] ye gave [4222] me [3165] drink [4222]: I was [2252] a stranger [3581], and [2532] ye took [4863] me [3165] in [4863]:
³⁶ Naked [1131], and [2532] ye clothed [4016] me [3165]: I was sick [770], and [2532] ye visited [1980] me [3165]: I was [2252] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] ye came [2064] unto [4314] me [3165].
³⁷ Then [5119] shall the righteous [1342] answer [611] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] an hungred [3983], and [2532] fed [5142] thee? or [2228] thirsty [1372], and [2532] gave thee drink [4222]?
³⁸ [1161] When [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] a stranger [3581], and [2532] took thee in [4863]? or [2228] naked [1131], and [2532] clothed [4016] thee?
³⁹ [1161] Or when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] sick [772], or [2228] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] came [2064] unto [4314] thee [4571]?
⁴⁰ And [2532] the King [935] shall answer [611] and say [2046] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Inasmuch [1909] as [3745] ye have done [4160] it unto one [1520] of the least [1646] of these [5130] my [3450] brethren [80], ye have done [4160] it unto me [1698].

¹² And [2532] I saw [1492] the dead [3498], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], stand [2476] before [1799] God [2316]; and [2532] the books [975] were opened [455]: and [2532] another [243] book [975] was opened [455], which [3739] is [2076] the book of life [2222]: and [2532] the dead [3498] were judged [2919] out of [1537] those things which were written [1125] in [1722] the books [975], according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
¹³ And [2532] the sea [2281] gave up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] it [846]; and [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] delivered up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] them [846]: and [2532] they were judged [2919] every man [1538] according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
¹⁴ And [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] were cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. This [3778] is [2076] the second [1208] death [2288].
¹⁵ And [2532] whosoever [1536] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442].

⁴ And [2532] I saw [1492] thrones [2362], and [2532] they sat [2523] upon [1909] them [846], and [2532] judgment [2917] was given [1325] unto them [846]: and [2532] I saw the souls [5590] of them that were beheaded [3990] for [1223] the witness [3141] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] which [3748] had [4352] not [3756] worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], neither [3777] his [846] image [1504], [2532] neither [3756] had received [2983] his mark [5480] upon [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359], or [2532] in [1909] their [846] hands [5495]; and [2532] they lived [2198] and [2532] reigned [936] with [3326] Christ [5547] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
⁵ But [1161] the rest [3062] of the dead [3498] lived [326] not [3756] again [326] until [2193] the thousand [5507] years [2094] were finished [5055]. This [3778] is the first [4413] resurrection [386].
⁶ Blessed [3107] and [2532] holy [40] is he that hath [2192] part [3313] in [1722] the first [4413] resurrection [386]: on [1909] such [5130] the second [1208] death [2288] hath [2192] no [3756] power [1849], but [235] they shall be [2071] priests [2409] of God [2316] and [2532] of Christ [5547], and [2532] shall reign [936] with [3326] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094].

¹ And [2532] I saw [1492] an angel [32] come down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], having [2192] the key [2807] of the bottomless pit [12] and [2532] a great [3173] chain [254] in [1909] his [846] hand [5495].
² And [2532] he laid hold on [2902] the dragon [1404], that old [744] serpent [3789], which [3739] is [2076] the Devil [1228], and [2532] Satan [4567], and [2532] bound [1210] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094],
³ And [2532] cast [906] him [846] into [1519] the bottomless pit [12], and [2532] shut [2808] him [846] up [2808], and [2532] set a seal [4972] upon [1883] him [846], that [3363] he should deceive [4105] the nations [1484] no [3363] more [2089], till [891] the thousand [5507] years [2094] should be fulfilled [5055]: and [2532] after [3326] that [5023] he [846] must [1163] be loosed [3089] a little [3398] season [5550].
⁴ And [2532] I saw [1492] thrones [2362], and [2532] they sat [2523] upon [1909] them [846], and [2532] judgment [2917] was given [1325] unto them [846]: and [2532] I saw the souls [5590] of them that were beheaded [3990] for [1223] the witness [3141] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] which [3748] had [4352] not [3756] worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], neither [3777] his [846] image [1504], [2532] neither [3756] had received [2983] his mark [5480] upon [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359], or [2532] in [1909] their [846] hands [5495]; and [2532] they lived [2198] and [2532] reigned [936] with [3326] Christ [5547] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
⁵ But [1161] the rest [3062] of the dead [3498] lived [326] not [3756] again [326] until [2193] the thousand [5507] years [2094] were finished [5055]. This [3778] is the first [4413] resurrection [386].
⁶ Blessed [3107] and [2532] holy [40] is he that hath [2192] part [3313] in [1722] the first [4413] resurrection [386]: on [1909] such [5130] the second [1208] death [2288] hath [2192] no [3756] power [1849], but [235] they shall be [2071] priests [2409] of God [2316] and [2532] of Christ [5547], and [2532] shall reign [936] with [3326] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
⁷ And [2532] when [3752] the thousand [5507] years [2094] are expired [5055], Satan [4567] shall be loosed [3089] out of [1537] his [846] prison [5438],
⁸ And [2532] shall go out [1831] to deceive [4105] the nations [1484] which [3588] are in [1722] the four [5064] quarters [1137] of the earth [1093], Gog [1136] and [2532] Magog [3098], to gather [4863] them [846] together [4863] to [1519] battle [4171]: the number [706] of whom [3739] is as [5613] the sand [285] of the sea [2281].
⁹ And [2532] they went up [305] on [1909] the breadth [4114] of the earth [1093], and [2532] compassed [2944] the camp [3925] of the saints [40] about [2944], and [2532] the beloved [25] city [4172]: and [2532] fire [4442] came down [2597] from [575] God [2316] out of [1537] heaven [3772], and [2532] devoured [2719] them [846].
¹⁰ And [2532] the devil [1228] that deceived [4105] them [846] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303], where [3699] the beast [2342] and [2532] the false prophet [5578] are, and [2532] shall be tormented [928] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
¹¹ And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
¹² And [2532] I saw [1492] the dead [3498], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], stand [2476] before [1799] God [2316]; and [2532] the books [975] were opened [455]: and [2532] another [243] book [975] was opened [455], which [3739] is [2076] the book of life [2222]: and [2532] the dead [3498] were judged [2919] out of [1537] those things which were written [1125] in [1722] the books [975], according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
¹³ And [2532] the sea [2281] gave up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] it [846]; and [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] delivered up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] them [846]: and [2532] they were judged [2919] every man [1538] according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
¹⁴ And [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] were cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. This [3778] is [2076] the second [1208] death [2288].
¹⁵ And [2532] whosoever [1536] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442].

¹² And [2532] the sixth [1623] angel [32] poured out [1632] his [846] vial [5357] upon [1909] the great [3173] river [4215] Euphrates [2166]; and [2532] the water [5204] thereof [846] was dried up [3583], that [2443] the way [3598] of the kings [935] of [575] the east [395] [2246] might be prepared [2090].
¹³ And [2532] I saw [1492] three [5140] unclean [169] spirits [4151] like [3664] frogs [944] come out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of the dragon [1404], and [2532] out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of the beast [2342], and [2532] out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of the false prophet [5578].
¹⁴ For [1063] they are [1526] the spirits [4151] of devils [1142], working [4160] miracles [4592], which go forth [1607] [3739] [1607] unto [1909] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] and [2532] of the whole [3650] world [3625], to gather [4863] them [846] to [1519] the battle [4171] of that [1565] great [3173] day [2250] of God [2316] Almighty [3841].
¹⁵ Behold [2400], I come [2064] as [5613] a thief [2812]. Blessed [3107] is he that watcheth [1127], and [2532] keepeth [5083] his [846] garments [2440], lest [3363] he walk [4043] naked [1131], and [2532] they see [991] his [846] shame [808].
¹⁶ And [2532] he gathered [4863] them [846] together [4863] into [1519] a place [5117] called [2564] in the Hebrew tongue [1447] Armageddon [717].

¹ Why do the heathen [01471] rage [07283], and the people [03816] imagine [01897] a vain thing [07385]?
² The kings [04428] of the earth [0776] set [03320] themselves, and the rulers [07336] take counsel [03245] together [03162], against the LORD [03068], and against his anointed [04899], saying,
³ Let us break [05423] their bands [04147] asunder [05423], and cast away [07993] their cords [05688] from us.

¹³ And shall receive [2865] the reward [3408] of unrighteousness [93], as they that count [2233] it pleasure [2237] to riot [5172] in [1722] the day time [2250]. Spots [4696] they are and [2532] blemishes [3470], sporting themselves [1792] with [1722] their own [846] deceivings [539] while they feast [4910] with you [5213];

¹ At [1722] that [1565] time [2540] Jesus [2424] went [4198] on the sabbath day [4521] through [1223] the corn [4702]; and [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] were an hungred [3983], and [2532] began [756] to pluck [5089] the ears of corn [4719], and [2532] to eat [2068].

¹ Why do the heathen [01471] rage [07283], and the people [03816] imagine [01897] a vain thing [07385]?

³⁶ He that believeth [4100] on [1519] the Son [5207] hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]: and [1161] he that believeth not [544] the Son [5207] shall [3700] not [3756] see [3700] life [2222]; but [235] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] abideth [3306] on [1909] him [846].

⁵ And [2532] upon [1909] her [846] forehead [3359] was a name [3686] written [1125], MYSTERY [3466], BABYLON [897] THE GREAT [3173], THE MOTHER [3384] OF HARLOTS [4204] AND [2532] ABOMINATIONS [946] OF THE EARTH [1093].

² With [3326] whom [3739] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] have committed fornication [4203], and [2532] the inhabitants [2730] of the earth [1093] have been made drunk [3184] with [1537] the wine [3631] of her [846] fornication [4202].

² For [3754] true [228] and [2532] righteous [1342] are his [846] judgments [2920]: for [3754] he hath judged [2919] the great [3173] whore [4204], which [3748] did corrupt [5351] the earth [1093] with [1722] her [846] fornication [4202], and [2532] hath avenged [1556] the blood [129] of his [846] servants [1401] at [1537] her [846] hand [5495].

¹² And [2532], behold [2400], I come [2064] quickly [5035]; and [2532] my [3450] reward [3408] is with [3326] me [1700], to give [591] every man [1538] according as [5613] his [846] work [2041] shall be [2071].
