19:1 After these things I heard what was like a great voice of a large multitude inside of heaven, crying out: “Hallelujah! The salvation, the glory, and the power of our God! 2 For true and just are His judgments, because He has judged the great prostitute who had corrupted the earth with her pornographic immorality, and He has vindicated the blood of His servants from her hand.” 3 A second time they said: “Hallelujah!” And her smoke ascends into the unfolding of the ages. 4 Then the twenty-four elders and the four living things fell prostrate and worshiped God, the One who sits upon the throne, saying: “Let it be so; it is so. Hallelujah!” 5 And a voice came forth from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all His servants, and those fearing Him, the small and the great.” • 6 And I heard what was like the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of mighty thundering, saying: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the All-Carrying, All-Sustaining One, has reigned. • 7 We should rejoice and be filled with joy, and give glory to Him, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has prepared herself. 8 It was given to her to be clothed in fine linen, bright shining and pure. For the fine linen is the just approval of the devoted ones. • 9 Then he said to me, “Write, Blessed are those called forth to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These words of God are true.” 10 Then I fell before his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “See that you do not. I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who possess the testimony and proof of Jesus. Worship God! • For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy [of calling forth the knowledge of Christ.] • 11 Then I saw heaven opened [f], and I saw a white horse with One sitting upon it, called faithful and true, and inside of just approval He judges and wages war. • 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and upon His head were many royal crowns, each one having a name written, which no one perceives except He Himself. • 13 He was clothed with a garment dipped in blood. And His name is called, “The Word of God.” 14 The armies who were in heaven accompanied Him upon white horses, each clothed in fine linen, white and pure. • 15 And out from His mouth goes forth a sharp and eager sword [g], so that inside of it, He may strike the ethnic families; • and He will shepherd and care for them with a scepter of iron. He treads the winepress of the pain-filled anger of the settled opposition of God, the All-Carrying, All-Sustaining One. 16 And He has upon His robe and upon His thigh a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 17 Then I saw an angel standing inside of the sun, and he cried out in a great voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, “Come, gather yourselves into the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders, the flesh of the mighty and the flesh of horses, and of those sitting upon them, and the flesh of all, both free and slaves, small and great.” 19 And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth with their armies, gathered together to make war with the One who sits upon the horse and with His army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with him the fake prophet, the one who did the signs in its presence by which he led astray those who received the stamp of the beast and those who worshipped its image. The two were cast living into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. 21 But the rest were killed with the sword going forth from the mouth of the One who sits upon the horse. And all the birds were filled from their flesh. |
