Revelation 19:3-21

3And a second time they said, “1Hallelujah! 2Her smoke rises forever and ever.” 4And the 3twenty-four elders and the 4four living creatures 5fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, “6Amen. 7Hallelujah!” 5And a voice came from the throne, saying,

“8Give praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, 9you who fear Him, the small and the great.” 6Then I heard something like 10the voice of a great multitude and like 11the sound of many waters, and like the 12sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying,

“13Hallelujah! For the 14Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. 7Let’s rejoice and be glad and 15give the glory to Him, because 16the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His 1718bride has prepared herself.” 8It was given to her to clothe herself in 19fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the 20righteous acts of the 21saints.

9Then 22he said to me, “23Write: ‘24Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.’” And he said to me, “25These are the true words of God.” 10Then 26I fell at his feet to worship him. 27But he said to me, “28Do not do that; I am a 29fellow servant of yours and your brothers and sisters who 30hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

11And I saw 31heaven opened, and behold, a 32white horse, and He who sat on it is called 33Faithful and True, and in 34righteousness He judges and wages war. 12His 35eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many 36crowns; and He has a 37name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 13He is clothed with a 38robe dipped in blood, and His name is called 39The Word of God. 14And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in 40fine linen, 41white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 1542From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that 43with it He may strike down the nations, and He will 4445rule them with a rod of iron; and 46He treads the 47wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16And on His robe and on His thigh He has 48a name written: “49KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

17Then I saw 50an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to 51all the birds that fly in 52midheaven, “53Come, assemble for the great feast of God, 18so that you may 54eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, 55both free and slaves, and 56small and great.”

19And I saw 57the beast and 58the kings of the earth and their armies, assembled to make war against Him who 59sat on the horse, and against His army. 20And the beast was seized, and with him the 60false prophet who 61performed the signs 6263in his presence, by which he 64deceived those who had received the 65mark of the beast and those who 66worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the 67lake of 68fire, which burns with 69brimstone. 21And the rest were killed with the sword which 70came from the mouth of Him who 71sat on the horse, and 72all the birds were filled with their flesh.
