Chapter 19 |
| 1 | And after
these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia;
Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: |
| 2 |
For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore,
which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of
his servants at her hand. |
|
3 | And again they said, Alleluia And her
smoke rose up for ever and ever. |
| 4 | And the four and twenty elders
and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne,
saying, Amen; Alleluia. |
| 5 | And a voice came out of the throne, saying,
Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and
great. |
| 6 |
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as
the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying,
Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. |
| 7 | Let us be glad
and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and
his wife hath made herself ready. |
| 8 | And to her was granted that she
should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the
righteousness of saints. |
| 9 | And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they
which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me,
These are the true sayings of God. |
| 10 | And I fell at his feet to
worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the
testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. |
| 11 | And I saw
heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. |
| 12 |
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had
a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. |
| 13 | And he was
clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of
God. |
| 14 |
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. |
| 15 | And out of
his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he
shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. |
| 16 | And he hath on his vesture
and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. |
| 17 |
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying
to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves
together unto the supper of the great God; |
|
18 | That ye may eat the
flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the
flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both
free and bond, both small and great. |
| 19 | And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him
that sat on the horse, and against his army. |
|
20 | And the beast was
taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with
which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning
with brimstone. |
|
21 | And the remnant were slain with the sword of him
that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the
fowls were filled with their flesh. |
