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. |
