1After these things I heard what sounded like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2because true and righteous are his judgments; because he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his servants from her hand.”
3And a second time they 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, you who fear him, the small and the great.”
6And I heard what sounded like the voice of a great multitude, and like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.”
7Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to him, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has prepared herself,”
8and it was granted to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean”—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
9And he said to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
10And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
11And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and the one seated on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
12His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows except himself,
13and he is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called The Word of God.
14And the armies that are in heaven were following him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, that with it he might strike down the nations; and he himself will shepherd them with an iron rod; and he himself treads the winepress of the wine of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
16And he has on his robe and on his thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17And I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying in midheaven, “Come, gather for the great supper of God,
18that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of the mighty 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 together 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 had performed the signs before it, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21And the rest were killed by the sword of the one seated on the horse, which came out of his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
