Do you think Revelation 14:1 originally had:
"with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand"?
"with him one hundred forty-four thousand"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"having his Father's name written in their foreheads"?
"having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:1
Berean Literal Bible
And I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing upon Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred forty-four thousand having His name and the name of His Father having been written on their foreheads.
King James Bible
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And I saw and behold, The Lamb standing on the Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name upon them and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
Literal Standard Version
And I saw, and behold, a Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred forty-four thousand, having the Name of His Father written on their foreheads;
World English Bible
I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
Revelation 14:1 - I looked, and behold, the Lamb stood upon mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, (in whom) his name and the name of his Father were written on their foreheads.
one hundred and forty thousand - only in the reading of the Greek MHT there is the Greek word ||αριθμος|| (= 'a number' or: 'a number') preceding: 'one hundred and forty-four thousand'. This word 'number' is missing in the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and TR.
his Name and the Name - although there are two names here (by the way, the words 'his Name and' are missing in the reading of the Greek TR, but not in all other textual sources), at the end of the verse the grammatical form of the participle 'written' to be a singular verb form (both in Greek and Aramaic), from which we may conclude that both Names are essentially one Name.

Do you think Revelation 14:2 originally had:
"harpists playing on their harps"?
"harpist playing on his harp"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:2
Berean Literal Bible
And I heard a voice out of heaven like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of loud thunder. And the voice that I heard was like that of harpists harping with their harps.
King James Bible
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And I heard a sound from Heaven as the sound of many waters and as the sound of a great thunder; the sound which I heard was like a harpist playing on his harp.
World English Bible
I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
Revelation 14:2 - I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of great thunder, and (the) sound (that) I heard was like a harper playing his harp.
harp player ... harp - or: 'harp players ... harp', in any case a melodious stringed instrument, after the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. It could be 'harp players' or 'a harp player', but because the verb 'to play' is in the Peshitta singular and because at the end of the verse we have the word 'to be' in 'his harp' in the singular, is the correct choice of translation: 'a harp player'. From the Greek NA28, MHT and TR the reading is: 'as of the harpers playing the harp'.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:4 originally had:
"redeemed by Jesus from men"?
"redeemed from men"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:4
Berean Literal Bible
These are they who have not been defiled with women; for they are pure, these following the Lamb wherever He shall go. These have been redeemed out from men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
King James Bible
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
These are those who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins who cleave to the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from men, the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
World English Bible
These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14:4 - These are they who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been redeemed from men as firstfruits for GOD and for the Lamb.
are [(free)]bought - the reading of the Greek MHT reads: 'bought by Jesus (free)], which is without doubt the purport of this text, but it is not certain whether that is also expressed in full in the original manuscripts. Also in the Aramean Peshitta and in the Greek NA28 and TR the name 'Jesus' is missing.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:5 originally had:
"they are without fault before the throne of God"?
"they are without fault"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:5
Berean Literal Bible
And in their mouth no lie was not found; they are blameless.
King James Bible
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And there is no falsehood found in their mouths as they are without fault.
World English Bible
In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
Young's Literal Translation
and in their mouth there was not found guile, for unblemished are they before the throne of God.
Revelation 14:5 - No lie is found in their mouth, for they are blameless.
impeccable - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and MHT. Only in the reading of the Greek TR is written after 'impeccable': 'before the throne of God'.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:6 originally had:
"I saw a messenger flying"?
"I saw another messenger flying"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"having age-during news"? [the Greek lacks "the" - https://biblehub.com/text/revelation/14-6.htm]
"and he had with him a/the age-during news"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
In looking at Rev 14:6-7, do you think the news/ message/ announcement is best understood as:
'good' news? 'bad' news? who knows-- it's best to simply call it "news"?
Revelation 14:6
Berean Literal Bible
And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting glad tidings to preach upon those dwelling on the earth, and upon every nation and tribe and tongue and people,
King James Bible
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

another angel - in most Greek manuscripts (MHT) 'other' (... allon- G243) is missing, but in the reading of the Greek NA28, TR and in the Aramaic Peshitta we find this word....
the eternal Good News - some translations have 'an everlasting Gospel' or 'an eternal Good News'.... it immediately becomes clear in the following verses what this Gospel proclamation actually means, namely fearing God and worshiping the Creator and no other.
with itself - this text is part of the Aramaic Peshitta, but not of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:7 originally had:
"Fear the Lord"?
"Fear God"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:7
Berean Literal Bible
saying in a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. And worship the One having made heaven, and the earth, and sea, and springs of waters."
King James Bible

Literal Standard Version
saying in a great voice, “Fear God, and give to Him glory, because the hour of His judgment came, and worship Him who made the sky, and the land, and sea, and fountains of waters.”
World English Bible
He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!"
Revelation 14:7 - and with a loud voice he said: “Fear GOD and give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment has come. Worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the fountains of water.”
loud - literally: 'big'.
GOD - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and TR. The reading of the Greek MHT reads: 'the Lord' (Kurios).

Do you think Revelation 14:8 originally had:
"another messenger followed, saying"?
"another, a second messenger, followed, saying"?
"another, a/the second one, followed him and said"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"Babylon the great city"
"Babylon the great"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"fallen"?
"fallen, fallen"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"drink of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom"?
"drink of the venom of her whoredom"? (the Crawford ms. allows for that)
Revelation 14:8
King James Bible
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Literal Standard Version
And another messenger followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom she has given to all nations to drink.”
World English Bible
Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And another, the second one, followed him and said, “Fallen, fallen, Babylon the Great, who gave all nations to drink of the passion of her fornication!”
Revelation 14:8 (based on Glaser)
And another he/it second is following being to him/it and says, "Has fallen, has fallen, Babylon the Great, that/which/hand she from fury/anger/heat/venom of her whoredom/fornication gave them to drink-- to all of them-- peoples/nations.
Revelation 14:8 - [Another, a second,] followed him and said: “Fallen, fallen (is) Babylon the great, which hath made all nations drink (of the wine) of the passion of her fornication .”
Another, a second - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta, without the word 'angel' hereafter. In the Greek TR 'a second' is missing and after 'angel' the Greek TR then reads 'Babylon, the great city' instead of 'Babylon the great'.
followed him - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta, but in the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR the word 'him' is missing.
Fallen, fallen ... - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and TR, but of the Greek MHT the reading is: 'Fallen, is ...'
passion - in the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta it concerns a word that can also mean 'anger', but also 'heatedness'. In the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR we find a word that is often used in connection with God's wrath (see e.g. Rev. 16:1, 19 and 19:15).
of the wine - in the Aramaic Peshitta these words are missing, while they do occur in the Greek NA28, MHT and TR. In Op. 17:2 and Rev. 18:3 we find in the Aramaic Peshitta the expression 'the wine of her fornication'. It is important to realize that in Aramaic there is only one letter difference between the word 'wine' and the word 'passion'. The word does appear in the Aramaic Peshitta vs. 10 for in connection with the wine of GOD's wrath. The words go back to Jes. 21:9 where it is also clearly prophesied that with this announcement all the idols of Babylon will also be destroyed, they are finished.

Do you think Revelation 14:9 originally had:
"And the third angel followed"?

Revelation 14:10 - shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of the LORD, which is mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and before (the eyes of) the Lamb.
the LORD - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'GOD'.

"heaven saying to me, Write"?
"heaven saying, Write"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"labors; for their works follow with them"?
"labors"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:13

Revelation 14:13 - And I heard a voice from heaven say: “Write, blessed are the dead who die in our Lord, from now on!” “Yes, saith the Spirit, for they may rest from their works!”, (for their works follow them.)
say - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and MHT. Only from the Greek TR the reading is: "Say to me."
[(want)] their works imitate them - this phrase is completely absent from the Aramaic Peshitta, but does appear in the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR.

her grapes - this is the reading of the Aramean Peshitta and of the Greek NA28, the TR. The reading of the Greek MHT is: 'the grapes of the earth'.

"gathered the grapes from earth's vineyard"?
"gathered the vines of the earth"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:19

Revelation 14:19 - And the angel cast his sickle to the earth and harvested the grapes of the earth and cast them into the great winepress of the wrath of GOD.
harvested - more literally: 'gathered', but that word does not fit the image of the sickle in Dutch.
the grapes of the earth - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of... reads: “the grapes of the vine (or “vineyard”) of the earth.”
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:20 originally had:
"1600 stadia"?
"1200 stadia"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)

Revelation 14:20 - The winepress was trodden out of the city, and blood came out of the winepress to the bridles of the horses, twelve hundred furlongs, (more than two hundred and twenty miles).
twelve hundred - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'sixteen hundred'. An important argument in the discussion about the number is that the Greek Codex Sinaiticus from the 4th century has the reading: six two hundred (numbers).
stadiums - an Olympic stadium at that time had a length of 185 meters, that is 1 stadium.

Do you think Revelation 15:2 originally had:

And I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who were victorious over The Beast and over its Image and over the number of its name, and they stood over the sea of glass and had with them the stringed instruments of God.
Literal Standard Version
and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his mark, [and] the number of his name, standing by the sea of the glass, having harps of God,
World English Bible
I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.
Revelation 15:2 - And [I saw] what was like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and the conquerors of the beast and of his image and of the number of his name stood by the sea of glass with the harps of GOD.
the overcomers of the beast and of his image and of the number of his name - 'the overcomers' is literally 'those who had overcome'. In the reading of the Greek TR also follows 'and of his mark', but we do not find those words in the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT, nor in the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta.

Revelation 15:3 - They sang the song of Moses the servant of GOD, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are your works, O LORD GOD Almighty! Just and true are your works, (You are the) King of the ages!
LORD - this Name (Hebrew: YaHWeH, Aramaic: Mar-Jah, the Dutch LORD is not a translation, but a reverent reference to the Name YaHWeH) we find only in the Aramaic Peshitta. In the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR it says: 'the Lord' (Kurios).
verily are your works - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'Truly are your ways'.
King of the ages - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta, possibly also translating as 'king of the universe' (ie 'of the heavens and the earth'). The reading of the Greek NA28 and MHT is: 'King of the nations', and the reading of the Greek TR is: 'King of the saints'.

Revelation 15:4 - Who will not fear thee, O LORD, and glorify thy name?
For You alone are spotless.
Therefore all nations will come and worship You,
for You are true!"
because ... verily - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'for your judgments have become manifest.' In the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta we find this sentence formulated slightly differently in Op. 16:5 viz.: 'because thou hast ordained these things', while the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR of that verse is: 'because thou hast executed these judgments'.
==========================.
Do you think Revelation 15:5 originally had:
"I looked, and behold, the temple"?
"I looked, and the temple"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 15:5
King James Bible
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

But after these things, I looked, and the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony was opened in Heaven.
Rev 15:5 (APNT)
And after these [things], I looked and the temple of the tabernacle of witness was opened in heaven.
Revelation 15:5 - After this I saw the Temple of the Dwelling of the Testimony in heaven open.
I saw - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28, MHT. Only in the reading of the Greek TR follows: 'and see'.
==========================.
Do you think Revelation 15:6 originally had:
"came out"?
"came out of the temple"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 15:6
King James Bible
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And the seven Angels went out from the Temple, who had with them the seven plagues, while wearing pure and bright linen and bound around their chests with a golden wrap.
Literal Standard Version
and the seven messengers having the seven plagues came forth out of the temple, clothed in linen, pure and radiant, and girded around the breasts with golden girdles:
World English Bible
The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out, clothed with pure, bright linen, and wearing golden sashes around their breasts.
Revelation 15:6 - The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the Temple, clothed in pure and bright linen, and girded about their breasts with a golden girdle.
from the Temple - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and TR. The words are missing in the Greek MHT.
==========================.
Do you think Revelation 15:7 originally had:
"seven golden vessels"?
"seven vessels"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"God, who is living for the ages of the ages"?
"God, who is a/The Life for the ages of the ages, amen/ continuing"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 15:7
King James Bible
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And one of The Four Beasts gave to the seven Angels seven vessels full of the passion of God, who is The Life for the eternity of eternities. Amen.
Literal Standard Version
and one of the four living creatures gave to the seven messengers seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God, who is living through the ages of the ages;
Rev 15:7 (APNT)
https://aramaicdb.lightofword.org/en/new...ons-search
And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven bowls filled with the fury of God, who is alive forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 15:7 - One of the four living entities gave the seven angels [seven bowls], filled with the wrath of GOD who is Life for all eternity. Amen!
seven bowls - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR is: 'seven golden bowls'. We assume that each angel was given one bowl.
who is Life for all eternity - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR is: 'who lives forever and ever'.
"with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand"?
"with him one hundred forty-four thousand"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"having his Father's name written in their foreheads"?
"having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:1
Berean Literal Bible
And I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing upon Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred forty-four thousand having His name and the name of His Father having been written on their foreheads.
King James Bible
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And I saw and behold, The Lamb standing on the Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name upon them and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
Literal Standard Version
And I saw, and behold, a Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred forty-four thousand, having the Name of His Father written on their foreheads;
World English Bible
I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
Revelation 14:1 - I looked, and behold, the Lamb stood upon mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, (in whom) his name and the name of his Father were written on their foreheads.
one hundred and forty thousand - only in the reading of the Greek MHT there is the Greek word ||αριθμος|| (= 'a number' or: 'a number') preceding: 'one hundred and forty-four thousand'. This word 'number' is missing in the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and TR.
his Name and the Name - although there are two names here (by the way, the words 'his Name and' are missing in the reading of the Greek TR, but not in all other textual sources), at the end of the verse the grammatical form of the participle 'written' to be a singular verb form (both in Greek and Aramaic), from which we may conclude that both Names are essentially one Name.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:2 originally had:
"harpists playing on their harps"?
"harpist playing on his harp"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:2
Berean Literal Bible
And I heard a voice out of heaven like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of loud thunder. And the voice that I heard was like that of harpists harping with their harps.
King James Bible
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And I heard a sound from Heaven as the sound of many waters and as the sound of a great thunder; the sound which I heard was like a harpist playing on his harp.
World English Bible
I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
Revelation 14:2 - I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of great thunder, and (the) sound (that) I heard was like a harper playing his harp.
harp player ... harp - or: 'harp players ... harp', in any case a melodious stringed instrument, after the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. It could be 'harp players' or 'a harp player', but because the verb 'to play' is in the Peshitta singular and because at the end of the verse we have the word 'to be' in 'his harp' in the singular, is the correct choice of translation: 'a harp player'. From the Greek NA28, MHT and TR the reading is: 'as of the harpers playing the harp'.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:4 originally had:
"redeemed by Jesus from men"?
"redeemed from men"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:4
Berean Literal Bible
These are they who have not been defiled with women; for they are pure, these following the Lamb wherever He shall go. These have been redeemed out from men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
King James Bible
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
These are those who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins who cleave to the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from men, the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
World English Bible
These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14:4 - These are they who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been redeemed from men as firstfruits for GOD and for the Lamb.
are [(free)]bought - the reading of the Greek MHT reads: 'bought by Jesus (free)], which is without doubt the purport of this text, but it is not certain whether that is also expressed in full in the original manuscripts. Also in the Aramean Peshitta and in the Greek NA28 and TR the name 'Jesus' is missing.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:5 originally had:
"they are without fault before the throne of God"?
"they are without fault"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:5
Berean Literal Bible
And in their mouth no lie was not found; they are blameless.
King James Bible
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And there is no falsehood found in their mouths as they are without fault.
World English Bible
In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
Young's Literal Translation
and in their mouth there was not found guile, for unblemished are they before the throne of God.
Revelation 14:5 - No lie is found in their mouth, for they are blameless.
impeccable - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and MHT. Only in the reading of the Greek TR is written after 'impeccable': 'before the throne of God'.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:6 originally had:
"I saw a messenger flying"?
"I saw another messenger flying"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"having age-during news"? [the Greek lacks "the" - https://biblehub.com/text/revelation/14-6.htm]
"and he had with him a/the age-during news"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
In looking at Rev 14:6-7, do you think the news/ message/ announcement is best understood as:
'good' news? 'bad' news? who knows-- it's best to simply call it "news"?
Revelation 14:6
Berean Literal Bible
And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting glad tidings to preach upon those dwelling on the earth, and upon every nation and tribe and tongue and people,
King James Bible
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

another angel - in most Greek manuscripts (MHT) 'other' (... allon- G243) is missing, but in the reading of the Greek NA28, TR and in the Aramaic Peshitta we find this word....
the eternal Good News - some translations have 'an everlasting Gospel' or 'an eternal Good News'.... it immediately becomes clear in the following verses what this Gospel proclamation actually means, namely fearing God and worshiping the Creator and no other.
with itself - this text is part of the Aramaic Peshitta, but not of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR.
===============================================.
Do you think Revelation 14:7 originally had:
"Fear the Lord"?
"Fear God"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
Revelation 14:7
Berean Literal Bible
saying in a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. And worship the One having made heaven, and the earth, and sea, and springs of waters."
King James Bible

saying in a great voice, “Fear God, and give to Him glory, because the hour of His judgment came, and worship Him who made the sky, and the land, and sea, and fountains of waters.”
World English Bible
He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!"
Revelation 14:7 - and with a loud voice he said: “Fear GOD and give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment has come. Worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the fountains of water.”
loud - literally: 'big'.
GOD - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and TR. The reading of the Greek MHT reads: 'the Lord' (Kurios).

Do you think Revelation 14:8 originally had:
"another messenger followed, saying"?
"another, a second messenger, followed, saying"?
"another, a/the second one, followed him and said"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"Babylon the great city"
"Babylon the great"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"fallen"?
"fallen, fallen"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)
"drink of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom"?
"drink of the venom of her whoredom"? (the Crawford ms. allows for that)
Revelation 14:8
King James Bible
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Literal Standard Version
And another messenger followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom she has given to all nations to drink.”
World English Bible
Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And another, the second one, followed him and said, “Fallen, fallen, Babylon the Great, who gave all nations to drink of the passion of her fornication!”
Revelation 14:8 (based on Glaser)
And another he/it second is following being to him/it and says, "Has fallen, has fallen, Babylon the Great, that/which/hand she from fury/anger/heat/venom of her whoredom/fornication gave them to drink-- to all of them-- peoples/nations.
Revelation 14:8 - [Another, a second,] followed him and said: “Fallen, fallen (is) Babylon the great, which hath made all nations drink (of the wine) of the passion of her fornication .”
Another, a second - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta, without the word 'angel' hereafter. In the Greek TR 'a second' is missing and after 'angel' the Greek TR then reads 'Babylon, the great city' instead of 'Babylon the great'.
followed him - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta, but in the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR the word 'him' is missing.
Fallen, fallen ... - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and TR, but of the Greek MHT the reading is: 'Fallen, is ...'
passion - in the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta it concerns a word that can also mean 'anger', but also 'heatedness'. In the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR we find a word that is often used in connection with God's wrath (see e.g. Rev. 16:1, 19 and 19:15).
of the wine - in the Aramaic Peshitta these words are missing, while they do occur in the Greek NA28, MHT and TR. In Op. 17:2 and Rev. 18:3 we find in the Aramaic Peshitta the expression 'the wine of her fornication'. It is important to realize that in Aramaic there is only one letter difference between the word 'wine' and the word 'passion'. The word does appear in the Aramaic Peshitta vs. 10 for in connection with the wine of GOD's wrath. The words go back to Jes. 21:9 where it is also clearly prophesied that with this announcement all the idols of Babylon will also be destroyed, they are finished.

"And the third angel followed"?

Revelation 14:10 - shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of the LORD, which is mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and before (the eyes of) the Lamb.
the LORD - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'GOD'.

Revelation 14:13 - And I heard a voice from heaven say: “Write, blessed are the dead who die in our Lord, from now on!” “Yes, saith the Spirit, for they may rest from their works!”, (for their works follow them.)
say - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28 and MHT. Only from the Greek TR the reading is: "Say to me."
[(want)] their works imitate them - this phrase is completely absent from the Aramaic Peshitta, but does appear in the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR.

Revelation 14:19 - And the angel cast his sickle to the earth and harvested the grapes of the earth and cast them into the great winepress of the wrath of GOD.
harvested - more literally: 'gathered', but that word does not fit the image of the sickle in Dutch.
the grapes of the earth - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of... reads: “the grapes of the vine (or “vineyard”) of the earth.”

Revelation 14:20 - The winepress was trodden out of the city, and blood came out of the winepress to the bridles of the horses, twelve hundred furlongs, (more than two hundred and twenty miles).
twelve hundred - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'sixteen hundred'. An important argument in the discussion about the number is that the Greek Codex Sinaiticus from the 4th century has the reading: six two hundred (numbers).
stadiums - an Olympic stadium at that time had a length of 185 meters, that is 1 stadium.

And I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who were victorious over The Beast and over its Image and over the number of its name, and they stood over the sea of glass and had with them the stringed instruments of God.
Literal Standard Version
and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his mark, [and] the number of his name, standing by the sea of the glass, having harps of God,
World English Bible
I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.
Revelation 15:2 - And [I saw] what was like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and the conquerors of the beast and of his image and of the number of his name stood by the sea of glass with the harps of GOD.
the overcomers of the beast and of his image and of the number of his name - 'the overcomers' is literally 'those who had overcome'. In the reading of the Greek TR also follows 'and of his mark', but we do not find those words in the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT, nor in the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta.

World English Bible
They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.
Revelation 15:3 - They sang the song of Moses the servant of GOD, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are your works, O LORD GOD Almighty! Just and true are your works, (You are the) King of the ages!
LORD - this Name (Hebrew: YaHWeH, Aramaic: Mar-Jah, the Dutch LORD is not a translation, but a reverent reference to the Name YaHWeH) we find only in the Aramaic Peshitta. In the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR it says: 'the Lord' (Kurios).
verily are your works - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'Truly are your ways'.
King of the ages - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta, possibly also translating as 'king of the universe' (ie 'of the heavens and the earth'). The reading of the Greek NA28 and MHT is: 'King of the nations', and the reading of the Greek TR is: 'King of the saints'.

Revelation 15:4
King James Bible

for thou only art holy:
for all nations shall come and worship before thee;
for thy judgments are made manifest.
World English Bible
Who wouldn't fear you, Lord, and glorify your name?
For you only are holy.
For all the nations will come and worship before you.
For your righteous acts have been revealed."
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
Who will not reverence you, LORD JEHOVAH, and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
Therefore, all the nations will come and will worship before you,

Who will not fear you, LORD, and glorify your name?

because you are right."
Revelation 15:4 - Who will not fear thee, O LORD, and glorify thy name?
For You alone are spotless.
Therefore all nations will come and worship You,
for You are true!"
because ... verily - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'for your judgments have become manifest.' In the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta we find this sentence formulated slightly differently in Op. 16:5 viz.: 'because thou hast ordained these things', while the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR of that verse is: 'because thou hast executed these judgments'.

I saw - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta and of the Greek NA28, MHT. Only in the reading of the Greek TR follows: 'and see'.

"came out of the temple"? (the Crawford ms. contains that)

Revelation 15:7 - One of the four living entities gave the seven angels [seven bowls], filled with the wrath of GOD who is Life for all eternity. Amen!
seven bowls - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR is: 'seven golden bowls'. We assume that each angel was given one bowl.
who is Life for all eternity - this is the reading of the Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR is: 'who lives forever and ever'.
