Chapter 19 (CV)
1 After these things I hear as it were the loud voice
of a vast throng in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power is of
our God,
2 for true and just is His judging, for He judges the
great prostitute who corrupts the earth with her prostitution, and avenges the blood of
His slaves at her hand."
3 And a second time have they declared,
"Hallelujah!" And her smoke is ascending for the eons of the eons.
4 And the twenty-four elders and the four animals fall
and worship God, Who is sitting on the throne, saying, "Amen! Hallelujah!"
5 And a voice came out from the throne, saying,
"Praise our God, all His slaves, and those who are fearing Him, the small and the
great."
6 And I hear as it were the voice of a vast throng, and
as it were the sound of many waters, and as it were the sound of strong thunders, saying,
"Hallelujah! for the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns!
7 We may be rejoicing and exulting and will be giving
glory to Him, for the wedding of the Lambkin came, and Its bride makes herself
ready."
8 And to her it was granted that she may be clothed in
clean, resplendent cambric, for the cambric is the just awards of the saints.
9 And he is saying to me, "Write: 'Happy are those
invited to the wedding dinner of the Lambkin.'" And he is saying to me, "These
are the true sayings of God."
10 And I fall in front of his feet to worship him. And he
is saying to me, "See! No! A fellow slave of yours am I, and of your brethren who
have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy."
11 And I perceived heaven open, and lo! a white horse.
And He Who is sitting on it is called "Faithful and True," and in righteousness
is He judging and battling.
12 Now His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are
many diadems, having names written of which no one except Himself is aware,
13 and He is clothed in a cloak dipped in blood, and His
name is called "The Word of God."
14 And the armies in heaven, dressed in cambric, white
and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 And out of His mouth a sharp blade is issuing, that
with it He should be smiting the nations. And He will be shepherding them with an iron
club. And He is treading the wine trough of the fury of the indignation of God, the
Almighty.
16 And on His cloak and on His thigh He has a name
written: "King of kings and Lord of lords."
17 And I perceived another messenger, standing in the
sun. And he cries with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which are flying in
mid-heaven, "Hither! Be gathered for the great dinner of God,
18 that you may be eating the flesh of kings, and the
flesh of captains, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses and of those
sitting on them, and the flesh of all freemen as well as slaves, and of small and of
great."
19 And I perceived the wild beast and the kings of the
earth and their armies, gathered to do battle with Him Who is sitting on the horse and
with His army.
20 And the wild beast is arrested, and with it the false
prophet who does the signs in its sight, by which he deceives those getting the emblem of
the wild beast, and those worshiping its image. Living, the two were cast into the lake of
fire burning with sulphur.
21 And the rest were killed with the blade which is
coming out of the mouth of Him Who is sitting on the horse. And all the birds are
satisfied with their flesh. |
Chapter 19 (KJV)
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. |
