19:3 Then 1 a second time the crowd shouted, “Hallelujah!” The smoke rises from her forever and ever. 2 19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground 3 and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: “Amen! Hallelujah!”
19:5 Then 4 a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God
all you his servants,
and all you who fear Him,
both the small and the great!”
19:6 Then 5 I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting: 6
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God, 7 the All-Powerful, 8 reigns!
19:7 Let us rejoice 9 and exult
and give him glory,
because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
19:8 She was permitted to be dressed in bright, clean, fine linen” 10 (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints). 11
19:9 Then 12 the angel 13 said to me, “Write the following: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet at the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” He also said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 19:10 So 14 I threw myself down 15 at his feet to worship him, but 16 he said, “Do not do this! 17 I am only 18 a fellow servant 19 with you and your brothers 20 who hold to the testimony about 21 Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
19:11 Then 22 I saw heaven opened and here came 23 a white horse! The 24 one riding it was called “Faithful” and “True,” and with justice 25 he judges and goes to war. 19:12 His eyes are like a fiery 26 flame and there are many diadem crowns 27 on his head. He has 28 a name written 29 that no one knows except himself. 19:13 He is dressed in clothing dipped 30 in blood, and he is called 31 the Word of God. 19:14 The 32 armies that are in heaven, dressed in white, clean, fine linen, 33 were following him on white horses. 19:15 From his mouth extends a sharp sword, so that with it he can strike the nations. 34 He 35 will rule 36 them with an iron rod, 37 and he stomps the winepress 38 of the furious 39 wrath of God, the All-Powerful. 40 19:16 He has a name written on his clothing and on his thigh: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
19:17 Then 41 I saw one angel standing in 42 the sun, and he shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying high in the sky: 43
“Come, gather around for the great banquet 44 of God,
19:18 to eat 45 your fill 46 of the flesh of kings,
the flesh of generals, 47
the flesh of powerful people,
the flesh of horses and those who ride them,
and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, 48
and small and great!”
19:19 Then 49 I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do battle with the one who rode the horse and with his army. 19:20 Now 50 the beast was seized, and along with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf 51 – signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. 52 19:21 The 53 others were killed by the sword that extended from the mouth of the one who rode the horse, and all the birds gorged 54 themselves with their flesh.
