Revelation 19

1 After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God:2 for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever.4 And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah.5 And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Give praise to our God, all ye his servants, ye that fear him, the small and the great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth.7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.10 And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself.13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.16 And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God;18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great.19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army.20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:21 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Revelation 19

1 After these things I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a vast throng in heaven, saying,
“Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

2 because his judgments are true and just.t
For he has judgedt the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality,
and has avenged the blood of his servantst poured out by her own hands!”t
3 Thent a second time the crowd shouted, “Hallelujah!” The smoke rises from her forever and ever.t

4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the groundt and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: “Amen! Hallelujah!”

5 Thent a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God
all you his servants,
and all you who fear Him,
both the small and the great!”

The Wedding Celebration of the Lamb

6 Thent I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting:t
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God,s the All-Powerful,t reigns!

7 Let us rejoicet and exult
and give him glory,
because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.

8 She was permitted to be dressed in bright, clean, fine linen”t (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).s
9 Thent the angelt said to me, “Write the following: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet at the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” He also said to me, “These are the true words of God.”

10 Sot I threw myself downt at his feet to worship him, butt he said, “Do not do this!t I am onlyt a fellow servantt with you and your brotherst who hold to the testimony aboutt Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

The Son of God Goes to War

11 Thent I saw heaven opened and here camet a white horse! Thet one riding it was called “Faithful” and “True,” and with justicet he judges and goes to war.12 His eyes are like a fieryt flame and there are many diadem crownsts on his head. He hast a name writtent that no one knows except himself.13 He is dressed in clothing dippedst in blood, and he is calledt the Word of God.14 Thet armies that are in heaven, dressed in white, clean, fine linen,t were following him on white horses.15 From his mouth extends a sharp sword, so that with it he can strike the nations.tHetwill ruletthem with an iron rod,ts and he stomps the winepresss of the furioust wrath of God, the All-Powerful.t

16 He has a name written on his clothing and on his thigh: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

17 Thent I saw one angel standing int the sun, and he shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying high in the sky:t
“Come, gather around for the great banquett of God,

18 to eatt your fillt of the flesh of kings,
the flesh of generals,t
the flesh of powerful people,
the flesh of horses and those who ride them,
and the flesh of all people, both free and slave,t
and small and great!”
19 Thent I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do battle with the one who rode the horse and with his army.20 Nowt the beast was seized, and along with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalft – signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur.t

21 Thet others were killed by the sword that extended from the mouth of the one who rode the horse, and all the birds gorgedt themselves with their flesh.
