Chapter 19
1 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 ;
2 for his judgments are true and righteous . 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 ."
3 A second said , "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever ."
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne , saying , "Amen! Hallelujah!"
5 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 !"
6 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!
7 Let ’s rejoice and be exceedingly glad , and let ’s give the glory to him . For the wedding of the Lamb has come , and his wife has made herself ready ."
8 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.
9 He said to me , " Write , ‘ Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb .’" He said to me , " These are true words of God ."
10 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 ."
11 I saw 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 .
12 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.
13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called " The Word of God ."
14 The armies which are in heaven , clothed in white , pure , fine linen , followed him on white horses .
15 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 .
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written , " KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS ."
17 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 ,
18 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 , small and great ."
19 I saw the beast , the kings of the earth , and their armies , gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse and against his army .
20 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 .
21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse , the sword which came out of his mouth . So all the birds were filled with their flesh .
