Revelation 19

Rejoicing in Heaven

1After these things I heard something like a great voice of a large crowd in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and power^b and glory^c belong to our God,^a

2because true^d and righteous are His judgments^e, because He has judged^f the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her sexual immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His servants from her hand."

3And a second time they have said, "Hallelujah! And her smoke rises up forever and ever."

4And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen, Hallelujah!"

5And a voice came out from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all His servants and those who fear Him, the small and the great."

The Marriage of the Lamb

6And I heard something like the voice of a large crowd and like the voice of many waters and like the voice of strong thunders, saying, "Hallelujah! Because the Lord our God the Almighty has begun to reign.

7Let us rejoice and exult and give the glory to Him, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
8And it was given to her to be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean, for the fine linen is the ordinances^g of the holy ones.

9And he says to me, "Write: blessed are those invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb," and he says to me, "These are the true words of God."

10And I fell before his feet to worship him, and he says to me, "See that you do not — I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brothers who hold the testimony of Yeshua; worship God, for the testimony of Yeshua is the spirit^h of prophecy."

The Rider on the White Horse

11And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and the One seated on it called Faithful and Trueⁱ, and He judges and makes war in righteousness^j. 12And His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head many diadems, having names written and a name written that no one knows except Himself. 13And He is clothed in a garment dipped in blood, and His name is called the word^k of God.

14And the armies in heaven were following Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of His mouth a sharp double-edged sword comes out so that He might strike the nations^l with it, and He will shepherd them with an iron rod, and He treads the winepress of the wine of the fury of the wrath^m of God the Almighty. 16And He has on His garment and on His thigh a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.

Defeat of the Beast and False Prophet

17And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a great voice, saying to all the birds flying in midheaven, "Come, be gathered to the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders of thousands and the flesh of strong ones and the flesh of horses and of those seated on them and the flesh of all, both free and slave, both small and great."

19And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to make war against the One seated on the horse and against His army. 20And the beast was seized, and with it the false prophet who performed the signs before it by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those worshiping its image — the two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21And the rest were killed with the sword of the One seated on the horse, the sword that came out of His mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
