Revelation 19

The Fourfold Hallelujah

1After these things I heard something like a 1loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,

“2Hallelujah! 3Salvation and 4glory and power belong to our God; 25because His 6judgments are 7true and righteous; for He has judged the 8great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and He has 9avenged the blood of His bond-servants 10on her.” 3And a second time they said, “11Hallelujah! 12Her smoke rises up forever and ever.” 4And the 13twenty-four elders and the 14four living creatures 15fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne saying, “16Amen. 17Hallelujah!” 5And a voice came from the throne, saying,

“18Give praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, 19you who fear Him, the small and the great.” 6Then I heard something like 20the voice of a great multitude and like 21the sound of many waters and like the 22sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying,

“23Hallelujah! For the 24Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

Marriage of the Lamb

7Let us rejoice and be glad and 25give the glory to Him, for 26the marriage of the Lamb has come and His 2728bride has made herself ready.” 8It was given to her to clothe herself in 29fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the 30righteous acts of the 31saints.

9Then 32he said to me, “33Write, ‘34Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” And he said to me, “35These are true words of God.” 10Then 36I fell at his feet to worship him. 37But he said to me, “Do not do that; I am a 38fellow servant of yours and your brethren who 39hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

The Coming of Christ

11And I saw 40heaven opened, and behold, a 41white horse, and He who sat on it is called 42Faithful and True, and in 43righteousness He judges and wages war. 12His 44eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many 45diadems; and He has a 46name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 13He is clothed with a 47robe dipped in blood, and His name is called 48The Word of God. 14And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in 49fine linen, 50white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 1551From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that 52with it He may strike down the nations, and He will 5354rule them with a rod of iron; and 55He treads the 56wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16And on His robe and on His thigh He has 57a name written, “58KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

17Then I saw 59an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to 60all the birds which fly in 61midheaven, “62Come, assemble for the great supper of God, 18so that you may 63eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of 64commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, 65both free men and slaves, and 66small and great.”

19And I saw 67the beast and 68the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who 69sat on the horse and against His army.

Doom of the Beast and False Prophet

20And the beast was seized, and with him the 70false prophet who 71performed the signs 7273in his presence, by which he 74deceived those who had received the 75mark of the beast and those who 76worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the 77lake of 78fire which burns with 79brimstone. 21And the rest were killed with the sword which 80came from the mouth of Him who 81sat on the horse, and 82all the birds were filled with their flesh.
