Rev 19:1-21
After these things I
heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,
“Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God: for true and
righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, who
corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood
of his servants at her hand.”
A second said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever.” The
twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God
who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
A voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you his
servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!”
I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of
many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For
the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns! Let us rejoice and be exceedingly
glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has
come, and his wife has made herself ready.” It was given to her that she
would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the
righteous acts of the saints.
He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage
supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.”
I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do
it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the
testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of
Prophecy.”
I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is
called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes
are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written
and a name written which no one knows but he himself. He is clothed in a
garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.” The
armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white,
pure, fine linen. Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword,
that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron
rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the
Almighty. He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to
all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great
supper of God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains,
the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on
them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great.” I
saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.
The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in
his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the
beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into
the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. The rest were killed with the sword
of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. All the
birds were filled with their flesh.
