The inscription quotes:
'Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 (Revelation 14, 1).
In the angel's open book is written:
Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgement has come (Revelation 14, 7).
Above the ruins, the inscription summarises the words of the other two angels:
If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God; Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great (Revelation . 14, 8-10).
It is clear that the painter addresses viewers who are already familiar with the text, since these quotes do not explain, but rather remind.
