|And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
|And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
|
|I looked, and saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion. With Him were 144,000 men who had His Name and His Father's Name written on their foreheads.
|
|These Holy Innocents aren't the same as the 144,000 Jews appointed earlier, because they have a different kind of seal: ''both'' Names, not just one.

|
|I heard a voice out of the sky, like the voice of a lot of rushing water, and the voice of a great thunderclap. I heard the sound of harp players playing on their harps.

|
|They sang a new song in front of the throne, and in front of the four living creatures, and the elders. No man could learn that song except the 144,000, which have been redeemed from the earth.
|
|Again: ''this'' 144,000 is in heaven. The other group is still on the earth.

|These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
|
|These are men who have not defiled themselves with women, because they have never been married. These are the men who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from among men, and are the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

|And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

|Not a lie was ever found in their mouth, because they are faultless and unblemished.

|
|Then I saw another Messenger flying in the middle of the sky. He had the everlasting good news, to preach to those who live on earth, and to every ethnic group, clan, language, and people.

|And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
|
|A second Messenger followed. He said, "Fallen, fallen is [[Babylon]] the Great! In her out-of-control sexual immorality she made every ethnic group take part!"
|
|The word rendered "wrath" here is '''θυμος''' or ''thumos'', which means out-of-control fury or out-of-control lust. "To drink from the wine" is idiomatic for "take part."
