Revelation 19:11-20

11Then I saw heaven opened and here came a white horse! The one riding it was called “Faithful” and “True,” and with justice he judges and goes to war.

12His eyes are like a fiery flame and there are many diadem crowns on his head. He has a name written that no one knows except himself.

13He is dressed in clothing dipped in blood, and he is called the Word of God.

14The armies that are in heaven, dressed in white, clean, fine linen, were following him on white horses.

15From his mouth extends a sharp sword, so that with it he can strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod, and he stomps the winepress of the furious wrath of God, the All-Powerful.

16He has a name written on his clothing and on his thigh: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

17Then I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying high in the sky: “Come, gather around for the great banquet of God,

18to eat your fill of the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of powerful people, the flesh of horses and those who ride them, and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, and small and great!”

19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do battle with the one who rode the horse and with his army.

20Now the beast was seized, and along with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf – signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur.
