chapter 19
1
After
these things I heard as it were the voice of much people in heaven, saying:
Alleluia. Salvation, and glory, and power is to our God.
2 For true and just are his judgments, who hath judged
the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath
revenged the blood of his servants, at her hands.
3 And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke
ascendeth for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty ancients, and the four living
creatures fell down and adored God that sitteth upon the throne, saying: Amen;
Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Give
praise to our God, all ye his servants; and you that fear him, little and
great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunders,
saying, Alleluia: for the Lord our God the Almighty hath reigned.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to him;
for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath prepared herself.
8 And it is granted to her that she should clothe
herself with fine linen, glittering and white. For the fine linen are the
justifications of saints.
9 And he said to me: Write: Blessed are they that are
called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me: These words of
God are true.
10 And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And
he saith to me: See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy
brethren, who have the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus
is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and with justice doth he
judge and fight.
12 And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his
head were many diadems, and he had a name written, which no man knoweth but
himself.
13 And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with
blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD.
14 And the armies that are in heaven followed him on
white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two edged
sword; that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a
rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of
God the Almighty.
16 And he hath on his garment, and on his thigh
written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried
with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of
heaven: Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God:
18 That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh
of tribunes, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them
that sit on them, and the flesh of all freemen and bondmen, and of little and
of great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and
their armies gathered together to make war with him that sat upon the horse,
and with his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false
prophet, who wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received
the character of the beast, and who adored his image. These two were cast alive
into the pool of fire, burning with brimstone.
21 And the rest were slain by the sword of him that
sitteth upon the horse, which proceedeth out of his mouth; and all the birds
were filled with their flesh.
