Apocalypse
Chapter 19
- 1
After these things I heard as it were a loud voice of a great crowd in heaven, saying, "Alleluia! salvation and glory and power belong to our God.
- 2
For true and just are his judgments, who has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hands."
- 3
And again they have said, "Alleluia! And the smoke of her goes up forever and ever! "
- 4
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sits on the throne, and they said, "Amen! Alleluia! "
- 5
And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, And you who fear him, the small and the great!" The Song of Triumph
- 6
And I heard as it were a voice of a great crowd, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, "Alleluia! for the Lord, our God almighty, now reigns!
- 7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his spouse has prepared herself.
- 8
And she has been permitted to clothe herself in fine linen, shining, bright. For the fine linen is the just deeds of the saints."
- 9
And he said to me, "Write: Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God."
- 10
And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, "Thou must not do that. I am a fellow-servant of thine and of thy brethren who give testimony of Jesus. Worship God! for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." The Divine Warrior
- 11
And I saw heaven standing open; and behold, a white horse, and he who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and with justice he judges and wages war.
- 12
And his eyes are as a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; he has a name written which no man knows except himself.
- 13
And he is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood, and his name is called The Word of God.
- 14
And the armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. King of Kings and Lord of Lords
- 15
And from his mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which to smite the nations. And he will rule them with a rod of iron, and he treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God almighty.
- 16
And he has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings and Lord of lords." Defeat of the Beast and the False Prophet
- 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 midheaven, "Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God,
- 18
that you may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of tribunes, and flesh of mighty men, and flesh of horses, and of those who sit upon them, and flesh of all men, free and bond, small and great."
- 19
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to wage war against him who was sitting upon the horse, and against his army.
- 20
And the beast was seized, and with it the false prophet who did signs before it wherewith he deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and who worshipped its image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire that burns with brimstone.
- 21
And the rest were killed with the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that goes forth out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
