Revelation III - Chapter Five

The Third Book of The Apocalypse (The Full Text)

Chapter Five

And the seven angels sat in a circle with the twelve and the one who holds the golden cross, that is the mark of the Christ.
And before each was set a bowl. And the bowls were made of reeds, of wood, of iron, of copper, of silver, of gold, and of crystal.
And the angel poured from the bowl of reeds all the gifts of nature that is fulfilled by the seasons. None had touched the hand of man, but all were known to his spirit.
And the second angel poured from the bowl of wood. And there came forth great forests, covered in clouds, which did make rain upon the earth.
And the third angel poured from the bowl of iron. And there was fashioned all the tools for man's labour upon the earth, even to the great cities and the wonders of man.
And the fourth angel poured from the bowl of copper. And there came forth all manner of vessel for the carrying of man's possessions while on the earth.
And the fifth angel poured from a bowl of silver. That was made bright and pleased the eye of man.
And the sixth angel poured from a bowl of gold. Which is a base metal of man's treasure upon the earth.
And the seventh angel poured from a bowl of crystal, which did sparkle and was fashioned in great beauty.
And they were pure and untouched by man.
Then the first angel took a staff which had been held by man and touched it upon the bowl of reeds and they did wither. And all that was contained fell to the ground and was made one with the earth. And there came forth from the rich seed all the needs of man, even until the last day.
And the first angel said, "Your Father will feed all his children, for none go in hunger other than by the greed of man".
And the second angel smote the bowl of wood with the staff of man. And the forest shook and the sky was turned to blood. And the blood covered one third of the earth, the sea, and the waters. And the beast walked through the sky of blood and there were ugly and painful sores on the beast.
And the third angel took the staff and touched the bowl of iron. And there came forth a multitude of man's implements to defend him against the sky of blood. And man cast down many demons with his tools, but as they were slain so they multiplied.
And the fourth angel took the staff and touched the bowl of copper. And the bowl was filled to over-flowing, and there appeared a great number of locust that darkened the sky and consumed all that was in sight and tortured the people with pain and scorching heat.
And the fifth angel smote the bowl of silver and there was seen a great city with much treasure. And there came upon the city a severe earthquake and it was shattered. For the nations of the earth knew not the Father but rendered a cup filled with the wine of the fury of His wrath.
And the sixth angel touched the bowl of Gold. And there came forth seven frogs that were slimy and ugly. And from their mouths came forth incessant and meaningless croaking. And they were clothed in gold and looked wise and learned, but underneath they were naked.
And the seventh angel touched the bowl of crystal and there were gathered all the kings and rulers of the earth to a place called Armageddon. And they found no peace but caused war among their people even to the mountain called Megiddo.
And they counted their dead to one third of all the peoples of the earth. And the bodies were consumed by demons and made again alive. But the kings and rulers saw not the demons but commanded the great host to make war.
And the demons mounted the kings and rulers and made slaves of them. And they were driven into dark caverns and lay with the beast.
And the people came forth into the light and rejoiced that they had been set free.
And they were clothed in clean shining linen with golden sashes around their chests. And the sky was filled with light from the glory of God.
