So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.

I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure. I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say,‘ These are my people,’ and they will say,‘ The Lord is our God.’”

Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you. You will suffer for ten days. But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life.

This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.

I, John, am your brother and your partner in suffering and in God’s Kingdom and in the patient endurance to which Jesus calls us. I was exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the word of God and for my testimony about Jesus.

And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.

Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means.

And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.

They shouted to the Lord and said,“ O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?”

Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

Then I looked, and I heard a single eagle crying loudly as it flew through the air,“ Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets.”

Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.

The beast you saw was once alive but isn’t now. And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit and go to eternal destruction. And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died.

And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made.

Terror and traps and snares will be your lot, you people of the earth.

And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life.

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them.

Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world.

Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”

I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”

At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire.

Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring.
