Revelation 19

1AfterG3326 thisG3778 I heardG191 a sound likeG5613 the roarG3173G5456 of a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 inG1722 heavenG3772, shoutingG3004:

“HallelujahG239!1
SalvationG4991 andG2532 gloryG1391 andG2532 powerG1411 belong toG3588 ourG1473 GodG2316!2ForG3754 HisG846 judgmentsG2920 are trueG228 andG2532 justG1342.He has judgedG2919 theG3588 greatG3173 prostituteG4204whoG3748 corruptedG5351 theG3588 earthG1093 withG1722 herG846 immoralityG4202.He has avengedG1556 theG3588 bloodG129 of HisG846 servantsG1401that was poured outG1537 by herG846 handG5495.”

3AndG2532 a second timeG1208 they called outG2046:

“HallelujahG239!
HerG846 smokeG2586 risesG305 foreverG1519G3588G165 and everG165.”

4AndG2532 theG3588 twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245 andG2532 theG3588 fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshipedG4352 GodG2316 whoG3588 sitsG2521 onG1909 theG3588 throneG2362, sayingG3004:

“AmenG281, HallelujahG239!”

5ThenG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1831 fromG575 theG3588 throneG2362, sayingG3004:

“PraiseG134 ourG1473 GodG2316,allG3956 you who serveG1401 HimG846,andG2532 those whoG3588 fearG5399 HimG846,smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173 alike!”

The Marriage of the Lamb

6AndG2532 I heardG191 a sound likeG5613 the roarG5456 of a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, likeG5613 the rushingG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204, andG2532 likeG5613 a mightyG2478 rumblingG5456 of thunderG1027, crying outG3004:

“HallelujahG239!
ForG3754 theG3588 LordG2962 ourG1473 GodG23162 theG3588 AlmightyG3841 reignsG936.7Let us rejoiceG5463 andG2532 be gladG21andG2532 giveG1325 HimG846 theG3588 gloryG1391.ForG3754 theG3588 marriageG1062 of theG3588 LambG721 has comeG2064,andG2532 HisG846 brideG1135 has made herself readyG2090G1438.8SheG846 was givenG1325 clothing ofG4016 fine linenG1039,brightG2986 and pureG2513.”

ForG1063 theG3588 fine linenG1039 she wears isG1510 theG3588 righteous actsG1345 of theG3588 saintsG40.

9ThenG2532 the angel toldG3004 meG1473 to writeG1125, “BlessedG3107 are those whoG3588 are invitedG2564 toG1519 theG3588 marriageG1062 supperG1173 of theG3588 LambG721.” AndG2532 he saidG3004 to meG1473, “TheseG3778 areG1510 theG3588 trueG228 wordsG3056 of GodG2316.”

10So I fellG4098 atG1715 hisG846 feetG4228 to worshipG4352 himG846. But he toldG3004 meG1473, “Do not do thatG3708G3361! I amG1510 a fellow servantG4889 with youG4771 andG2532 yourG4771 brothersG80 whoG3588 rely onG2192 theG3588 testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424. WorshipG4352 GodG2316! ForG1063 theG3588 testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 isG1510 theG3588 spiritG4151 of prophecyG4394.”

The Rider on the White Horse

11ThenG2532 I sawG3708 heavenG3772 standing openG455, andG2532 there before me wasG2400 a whiteG3022 horseG2462. AndG2532 its riderG3588G2521G1909G846 is calledG2564 FaithfulG4103 andG2532 TrueG228. WithG1722 righteousnessG1343 He judgesG2919 andG2532 wages warG4170. 12HeG846 has eyesG3788 likeG5613 blazingG5395 fireG4442, andG2532 manyG4183 royal crownsG1238 onG1909 HisG846 headG2776. He hasG2192 a nameG3686 writtenG1125 on Him thatG3739 onlyG3762G1487G3361 He HimselfG846 knowsG1492. 13He is dressed inG4016 a robeG2440 dippedG911 in bloodG129,3 andG2532 HisG846 name isG3686G2564 TheG3588 WordG3056 of GodG2316.

14

TheG3588 armiesG4753 ofG3588 heavenG3772, dressed inG1746 fine linenG1039, whiteG3022 and pureG2513, followG190 HimG846 onG1909 whiteG3022 horsesG2462. 15AndG2532 fromG1537 HisG846 mouthG4750 proceedsG1607 a sharpG3691 swordG4501 withG1722 which to strike downG3960 theG3588 nationsG1484, andG2532 HeG846 will ruleG4165 themG846 withG1722 an ironG4603 scepterG4464.4 HeG846 treadsG3961 theG3588 winepressG3025G3588G3631 of theG3588 furyG2372 of theG3588 wrathG3709 of GodG2316 theG3588 AlmightyG3841. 16AndG2532 He hasG2192 a nameG3686 writtenG1125 onG1909 His robeG2440 andG2532 onG1909 HisG846 thighG3382:

KINGG935 OF KINGSG935 ANDG2532 LORDG2962 OF LORDSG2962.

Defeat of the Beast and False Prophet

17ThenG2532 I sawG3708 anG1520 angelG32 standingG2476 inG1722 theG3588 sunG2246, andG2532 he cried outG2896 inG1722 a loudG3173 voiceG5456G3004 to allG3956 theG3588 birdsG3732 flyingG4072 overheadG1722G3321, “ComeG1205, gather togetherG4863 forG1519 theG3588 greatG3173 supperG1173 of GodG2316, 18so thatG2443 you may eatG5315 the fleshG4561 of kingsG935 andG2532 commandersG5506 andG2532 mightyG2478 men, of horsesG2462 andG2532 ridersG3588G2521G1909G846, of everyoneG3956G5037 slaveG1401 andG2532 freeG1658, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.”

19ThenG2532 I sawG3708 theG3588 beastG2342 andG2532 theG3588 kingsG935 of theG3588 earthG1093 with theirG846 armiesG4753 assembledG4863 to wageG4160 warG4171 againstG3326 theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 theG3588 horseG2462, andG2532 againstG3326 HisG846 armyG4753. 20But theG3588 beastG2342 was capturedG4084 along withG3326 theG3588 false prophetG5578, whoG3588 on its behalfG1799G846 had performedG4160 signsG4592 deceivingG4105 thoseG3588 who hadG2983 theG3588 markG5480 of theG3588 beastG2342 andG2532 worshipedG4352 itsG846 imageG1504. BothG1417 the beast and the false prophet were thrownG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 theG3588 fieryG4442 lakeG3041 of burningG2545 sulfurG2303. 21AndG2532 theG3588 restG3062 were killedG615 withG1722 theG3588 swordG4501 thatG3588 proceededG1831 fromG1537 the mouthG4750 of theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 theG3588 horseG2462.

AndG2532 allG3956 theG3588 birdsG3732 gorged themselvesG5526 onG1537 theirG846 fleshG4561.
