Revelation 19
The Multitude in
Heaven Praises God |
1 |
And after these things I heard a great
voice of much people in heaven, saying,
Alleluia; Salvation,
and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 for
true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the
great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and
hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. Deut. 32.43
|
3 |
And again they said, Alleluia. And her
smoke rose up for ever and ever. Is. 34.10
|
4 |
And the four and twenty elders and the
four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne,
saying, Amen; Alleluia.
|
5 |
And a voice came out of the throne,
saying,
|
Praise our God, all ye his servants, |
and ye that fear him, both small and great. Ps.
115.13 |
|
|
6 |
And I heard as it were the voice of a
great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, Ezek. 1.24 and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
saying,
Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage
of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,
clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of
saints.
|
The Marriage Supper of
the Lamb |
9 |
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper Mt.
22.2, 3 of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings
of God.
|
10 |
And I fell at his feet to worship him.
And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow
servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus:
worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy.

The Rider on the White
Horse |
11 |
And I saw heaven opened, Ezek.
1.1 and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth
judge and make war.
|
12 |
His eyes were as a flame of fire, Dan.
10.6 and on his head were many crowns; and he had
a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
|
13 |
And he was clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
|
14 |
And the armies which were in
heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white
and clean.
|
15 |
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations; and he shall rule them
with a rod of iron: Ps. 2.9 and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God. Is. 63.3 · Joel 3.13 · Rev. 14.20
|
16 |
And he hath on his vesture and on
his thigh a name 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 fowls that fly in
the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the
supper of the great God;
|
18 |
that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and
the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of
horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. Ezek.
39.17-20
|
19 |
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the
earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him
that sat on the horse, and against his army.
|
20 |
And the beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped his image. Rev. 13.1-18 These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with
brimstone.
|
21 |
And the remnant were slain with the sword
of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of
his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their
flesh.
