19Revelation 19

1After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a large crowd of people in heaven, saying, “Praise God! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God!Select Revelation 19:1

2True and just are his judgments! He has condemned the prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her immorality. God has punished her because she killed his servants.”Select Revelation 19:2

3Again they shouted, “Praise God! The smoke from the flames that consume the great city goes up forever and ever!”Select Revelation 19:3

4The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. They said, “Amen! Praise God!”Select Revelation 19:4

The Wedding Feast of the Lamb

5Then there came from the throne the sound of a voice, saying, “Praise our God, all his servants and all people, both great and small, who have reverence for him!”Select Revelation 19:5

6Then I heard what sounded like a crowd, like the sound of a roaring waterfall, like loud peals of thunder. I heard them say, “Praise God! For the Lord, our Almighty God, is King!Select Revelation 19:6

7Let us rejoice and be glad; let us praise his greatness! For the time has come for the wedding of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself for it.Select Revelation 19:7

8She has been given clean shining linen to wear.” (The linen is the good deeds of God's people.)Select Revelation 19:8

9Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Happy are those who have been invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And the angel added, “These are the true words of God.”Select Revelation 19:9

10I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don't do it! I am a servant together with you and with other believers, all those who hold to the truth that Jesus revealed. Worship God!” For the truth that Jesus revealed is what inspires the prophets.Select Revelation 19:10

The Rider on the White Horse

11Then I saw heaven open, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True; it is with justice that he judges and fights his battles.Select Revelation 19:11

12His eyes were like a flame of fire, and he wore many crowns on his head. He had a name written on him, but no one except himself knows what it is.Select Revelation 19:12

13The robe he wore was covered with blood. His name is “The Word of God.”Select Revelation 19:13

14The armies of heaven followed him, riding on white horses and dressed in clean white linen.Select Revelation 19:14

15Out of his mouth came a sharp sword, with which he will defeat the nations. He will rule over them with a rod of iron, and he will trample out the wine in the wine press of the furious anger of the Almighty God.Select Revelation 19:15

16On his robe and on his thigh was written the name: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”Select Revelation 19:16

17Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair: “Come and gather together for God's great feast!Select Revelation 19:17

18Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and soldiers, the flesh of horses and their riders, the flesh of all people, slave and free, great and small!”Select Revelation 19:18

19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to fight against the one who was riding the horse and against his army.Select Revelation 19:19

20The beast was taken prisoner, together with the false prophet who had performed miracles in his presence. (It was by those miracles that he had deceived those who had the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped the image of the beast.) The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.Select Revelation 19:20

21Their armies were killed by the sword that comes out of the mouth of the one who was riding the horse; and all the birds ate all they could of their flesh.Select Revelation 19:21
