REVELATION 14:9-12
And the third angel followed them, saying with a
loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his
image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in
his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture
into the cup of his indignation; …and they have no
rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his
image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his
name. Here is the patience of the saints: here [are]
they that keep the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus.
