1Afterthesethings I heard something like a 1loudvoice of a greatmultitude in heaven, saying, "2Hallelujah!3Salvation and 4glory and power belong to our God;
2
5BECAUSE HIS 6JUDGMENTS ARE 7TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS; for He has judged the 8greatharlotwho was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and HE HAS 9AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS BOND-SERVANTS ON HER."
3
And a secondtime they said, "10Hallelujah! 11HER SMOKERISES UP FOREVER AND EVER."
4
And the 12twenty-four*elders and the 13fourlivingcreatures14felldown and worshipedGod who sits on the thronesaying, "15Amen. 16Hallelujah!"
5
And a voicecame from the throne, saying, "17Givepraise to our God,all you His bond-servants,18 you who fear Him, the small and the great."
6
Then I heard something like19the voice of a greatmultitude and like20the sound of manywaters and like the 21sound of mightypeals of thunder, saying, "22Hallelujah! For the 23Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.
Marriage of the Lamb
7 "Let us rejoice and be glad and 24give the glory to Him, for 25the marriage of the Lamb has come and His 26bride has madeherselfready."
8
It was given to her to clothe herself in 27finelinen, bright and clean; for the finelinen is the 28righteousacts of the saints.
9
Then29he said to me, "30Write, '31Blessed are those who are invited to the marriagesupper of the Lamb.' " And he said to me, "32These are truewords of God."
10
Then33I fell at his feet to worship him. 34But he said to me, "Do not do that; I am a 35fellowservant of yours and your brethren who 36hold the testimony of Jesus; worshipGod. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
The Coming of Christ
11 And I saw37heavenopened, and behold, a 38whitehorse, and He who sat on it is called39Faithful and True, and in 40righteousness He judges and wageswar.
12
His 41eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many42diadems; and He has a 43namewritten on Him whichnooneknowsexceptHimself.
13
He is clothed with a 44robedipped in blood, and His name is called45The Word of God.
14
And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in 46finelinen, 47white and clean, were following Him on whitehorses.
15
48From His mouthcomes a sharpsword, so that 49with it He may strikedown the nations, and He will 50rule them with a rod of iron; and 51He treads the wine*press of the fiercewrath of God, the Almighty.
16
And on His robe and on His thigh He has52a namewritten, "53KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
17
Then I saw an angelstanding in the sun, and he cried out with a loudvoice, saying to 54all the birds which fly in 55midheaven, "56Come, assemble for the greatsupper of God,
18
so that you may 57eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mightymen and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of allmen, 58bothfreemen and slaves, and 59small and great."
19
And I saw60the beast and 61the kings of the earth and their armiesassembled to makewaragainst Him who 62sat on the horse and against His army.
Doom of the Beast and False Prophet
20 And the beast was seized, and with him the 63falseprophet who 64performed the signs65in his presence, by which he 66deceivedthose who had received the 67mark of the beast and those who 68worshiped his image; thesetwo were thrownalive into the 69lake of 70fire which burns with brimstone.
21
And the rest were killed with the sword which 71came from the mouth of Him who 72sat on the horse, and 73all the birds were filled with their flesh.
