| 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. |
