[1] After these things there came to my ears a sound like the voice of a
great band of people in heaven, saying, Praise to the Lord; salvation and
glory and power be to our God: [2] For true and upright are his decisions;
for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with
the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his
servants. [3] And again they said, Praise to the Lord. And her smoke went
up for ever and ever. [4] And the four and twenty rulers and the four
beasts went down on their faces and gave worship to God who was seated on
the high seat, saying, Even so, praise to the Lord. [5] And a voice came
from the high seat, saying, Give praise to our God, all you his servants,
small and great, in whom is the fear of him. [6] And there came to my ears
the voice of a great army, like the sound of waters, and the sound of loud
thunders, saying, Praise to the Lord: for the Lord our God, Ruler of all,
is King. [7] Let us be glad with delight, and let us give glory to him:
because the time is come for the Lamb to be married, and his wife has made
herself ready. [8] And to her it was given to be clothed in delicate linen,
clean and shining: for the clean linen is the righteousness of the saints.
[9] And he said to me, Put in the book, Happy are the guests at the
bride-feast of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of
God. [10] And I went on my face before his feet to give him worship. And he
said to me, See you do it not: I am a brother-servant with you and with
your brothers who keep the witness of Jesus: give worship to God: for the
witness of Jesus is the spirit of the prophet's word. [11] And the heaven
was open; and I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it was named
Certain and True; and he is judging and making war in righteousness. [12]
And his eyes are a flame of fire, and crowns are on his head; and he has a
name in writing, of which no man has knowledge but himself. [13] And he is
clothed in a robe washed with blood: and his name is The Word of God. [14]
And the armies which are in heaven went after him on white horses, clothed
in delicate linen, white and clean. [15] And out of his mouth comes a sharp
sword, with which he overcomes the nations: and he has rule over them with
a rod of iron: and he is crushing with his feet the grapes of the strong
wrath of God the Ruler of all. [16] And on his robe and on his leg is a
name, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. [17] And I saw an angel taking his
place in the sun; and he was crying with a loud voice, saying to all the
birds in flight in the heavens, Come together to the great feast of God;
[18] So that you may take for your food the flesh of kings, and of
captains, and of strong men, and of horses and of those who are seated on
them, and the flesh of all men, free and unfree, small and great. [19] And
I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, come
together to make war against him who was seated on the horse and against
his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who
did the signs before him, by which they were turned from the true way who
had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image: these two
were put living into the sea of ever-burning fire. [21] And the rest were
put to death with the sword of him who was on the horse, even the sword
which came out of his mouth: and all the birds were made full with their
flesh.
