Revelation of John 19
1The Vision of WorshipAfter these things I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a large crowd in heaven, saying,Rev 4:11; 11:15; 12:10 “Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God. 2His judgments are true and just.Deut 32:43; Rev 6:10; 15:3; 16:7; 18:20He has condemned the notorious prostitutewho corrupted the world with her immorality. He has taken revenge on herfor the blood of his servants.” 3A second time they said,Isa 34:10; Rev 14:11 “Hallelujah!The smoke goes up from her forever and ever.” 4The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures bowed down and worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne. They said, “Amen! Hallelujah!”1Chr 16:36; Neh 5:13; 8:6; Rev 4:4, 6, 10; 5:14 5A voice came from the throne, saying,Ps 134:1; 135:1; Rev 11:18; 20:12 “Praise our God,all who serve and fear him,from the least importantto the most important.” 6The Vision of the Marriage Supper of the LambThen I heard what sounded like the voice of a large crowd, like the sound of raging waters, and like the sound of powerful thunderclaps, saying,Ezek 1:24; 43:2; Rev 11:15, 17; 12:10; 14:2; 21:22 “Hallelujah!The Lord our God, the Almighty, is reigning. 7Let us rejoice, be glad, and give him glory,Matt 22:2; 25:10; 2Cor 11:2; Eph 5:32; Rev 21:2, 9because the marriage of the lamb has comeand his bride has made herself ready. 8She has been given the privilege of wearing fine linen,Ps 45:13-14; 132:9; Ezek 16:10; Rev 3:18dazzling and pure.”(The fine linen represents the righteous deeds of the saints.) 9Then the angel ▼▼Lit. he
said to me, “Write this: ‘How blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb!’” He also told me, “These are the true words of God.”Matt 22:2-3; Luke 14:15-16; Rev 21:5; 22:6 10I bowed down at his feet to worship him, but he told me, “Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold on to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy!”Acts 10:26; 14:14-15; 1John 5:10; Rev 12:17; 22:8-9 11The Vision of the Coming of ChristThen I saw heaven standing open, and there was a white horse! Its rider is named Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and wages war.Isa 11:4; Rev 3:14; 6:2; 15:5 12His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many royal crowns. He has a name written on him that nobody knows except himself.Rev 1:14; 2:16-18; 6:2 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in ▼▼Other mss. read sprinkled with
blood, and his name is called the Word of God.Isa 63:2-3; John 1:1; 1John 5:7 14The armies of heaven, wearing fine linen, white and pure, follow him on white horses.Matt 28:3; Rev 4:4; 7:9; 14:20 15A sharp sword comes out of his mouth to strike down the nations. He will rule ▼▼Or shepherd
them with an iron rod and tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.Ps 2:1-12; Isa 11:4; 63:3; 2Thes 2:8; Rev 19:16, 27; 2:27; 12:5; 14:19-20 16On his robe and his thigh he has a name written:Dan 2:47; 1Tim 6:15; Rev 17:14; 19:12KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 17The Vision of the Angel’s InvitationThen I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come! Gather for the great supper of God.Ezek 39:17; Rev 19:21 18Eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of warriors, ▼▼Lit. of the powerful
the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, both free and slaves, both unimportant and important.”Ezek 39:18, 20 19The Vision of the Judgment of the Beast and False ProphetThen I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army.Rev 16:16; 17:13-14 20The beast was captured, along with the false prophet who had performed signs on its behalf. ▼▼Or in its presence
By these signs ▼▼Lit. By which
the false prophet ▼▼Lit. he
had deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.Dan 7:11; Rev 13:12, 15; 14:10; 16:13-14; 20:10; 21:8 21The rest were killed by the sword that belonged to the rider on the horse and that came from his mouth. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.Rev 17:16
