Revelation 19
1 After this, I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a great crowd in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God.
2 For his judgments are true and just: 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 And a second time they said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke rises forever and ever.”
4 Then the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!”
5 And a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great.”
6 I heard what sounded like the voice of a great crowd, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has begun to reign.
7 Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory, for the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
8 She was given fine linen, bright and pure, to wear.” For the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who have been invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
10 I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and 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 there was a white horse. Its rider was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and wages war.
12 His eyes were a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems. He had a name written that no one knew except himself.
13 He was clothed in a robe stained with blood, and his name was the Word of God.
14 The armies in heaven followed him on white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and pure.
15 A sharp sword came from his mouth, with which to strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter, and he himself treads the winepress of the wine of the fury of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
16 And on his robe and on his thigh he had a name written: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
17 I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midheaven: “Come, gather for the great supper of God.
18 Thus you will eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of the mighty, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of everyone, free and enslaved, small and great.”
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered to wage war against the rider on the horse and against his army.
20 The beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who performed signs in its presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21 The rest were killed by the sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
