Revelation 19

1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

2 for true and just are his judgments.
He has condemned the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

3 And again they shouted:
“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”

4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:
“Amen, Hallelujah!”

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

6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
“Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

7 Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.

8 Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s people.)

9 Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to Jesus’ testimony. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.”
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.

16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
king of kings and lord of lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God,

18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on 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.
