em: Come up hither. And they went up into heaven
in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.

(13)And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part
of the city fell; and in the earthquake were slain of men seven

(14)The second woe is past; behold, the third woe comes quickly.

(15)And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed loud voices in
heaven, saying: The kingdom of the world is become our Lord's, and his
