THE BOOK OF REVELATION

 

Revelation Chapter 19

1 ¶ After these things I heard the voice of a great multitude in heaven, shouting, Hallelujah; Salvation, glory, honor, and power, belong to the Lord our God:

2 For his judgements are true and righteous: for he has judged the great whore, who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.

3 And again they shouted, Hallelujah. For her smoke rises up for ever and ever.

4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah.

5 ¶ And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, both small and great.

6 And I heard what sounded like the voice of a great multitude, and the roar of rushing water, and loud peals of thunder, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.

8 And it was granted that she should be clothed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 Then the angel said to me, Write, Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he added, These are the true sayings of God.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, Do not do it: I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 ¶ And I saw heaven opened, and before me a white horse; and the one who sat on the horse was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and wages war.

12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no one knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a garment dipped in blood: and his name is The Word of God.

14 And the armies that were in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, clean and white.

15 And a sharp sword went out of his mouth, that he might strike the nations with it: and he will rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING 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 the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together for the great supper of God;

18 So that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against the one who sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who had done miracles on his behalf, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped his image. They were both cast alive into a lake of fire burning with sulfur.

21 And the rest were killed by the sword that proceeded out of the mouth of the one on the horse: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
