19 After these things[1652] I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, glory and power belong to our God, 2 because His judgments are true and just. For He has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His servants at her hand.” 3 A second time they shouted, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up to the ages of the ages.”  4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who is seated on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
    5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you His servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great.”  6 Then I heard what sounded like the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They shouted, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has begun to reign! [1653] 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.” [1654]  8 She was permitted to dress in bright, clean, fine linen, as the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints.
    9 Then the angel said to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb!” He said to me, “These are the true words of God.”  10 So I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Do not do this! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who hold Jesus’ Gospel-testimony. Worship God, for Jesus’ Gospel-testimony is the spirit of prophecy.” [1655]
    11 Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse. The one riding it is called Faithful and True, and in justice he judges and makes war.  12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written which no one knows but he himself.  13 He is dressed in clothing dipped in blood, and his name is “The Word of God.” [1656]  14 The armies which are in heaven, clothed in white, clean, fine linen, were following him on white horses.  15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp sword, so that with it he can strike[1657] the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod.[1658] He treads the wine press of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty.  16 He has on his clothing and on his thigh a name written: “King of kings and lord of lords.”
    17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he shouted to all the birds flying high in the sky, “Come! Gather together for the great banquet of God,  18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of powerful people, the flesh of horses and those who ride them, and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, small and great.”  19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him who rode on the horse, and against his army.
    20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the one who rode the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.
