Isaiah 27:1

The Redemption of Israel

1In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong asword will punish bLeviathan the fleeing serpent, cLeviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay dthe dragon that is in the sea.

Isaiah 34:5-10

5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon eEdom,
upon the people fI have devoted to destruction.
6The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
gFor the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 hWild oxen shall ifall with them,
and jyoung steers with kthe mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 lFor the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 mAnd the streams of Edom
Hebrew her streams
shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10Night and day oit shall not be quenched;
pits smoke shall go up forever.
qFrom generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.

Ezekiel 38:21-22

21 rI will summon a sword against Gog
Hebrew  against him
on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. tEvery man’s sword will be against his brother.
22With pestilence and bloodshed uI will enter into judgment with him, and vI will rain upon him and whis hordes and the many peoples who are with him xtorrential rains and hailstones, yfire and sulfur.

Ezekiel 39:2-10

2 zAnd I will turn you about and drive you forward, and bring you up from aathe uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the abmountains of Israel. 3Then acI will strike your bow from your left hand, and adwill make your arrows drop out of your right hand. 4 aeYou shall fall on afthe mountains of Israel, you and all your aghordes and the peoples who are with you. ahI will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5You shall fall in the open field, for aiI have spoken, declares the Lord God. 6 ajI will send fire on akMagog and on those alwho dwell securely in amthe coastlands, and anthey shall know that I am the Lord.

9“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and aumake fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows, avclubs
Or javelins
and spears; and they will make fires of them for seven years,
10so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, for axthey will make their fires of the weapons. ayThey will seize the spoil of those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord God.

Revelation of John 19:11-21

The Rider on a White Horse

11Then I saw azheaven opened, and behold, baa white horse! The one sitting on it is called bbFaithful and True, and bcin righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 bdHis eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are bemany diadems, and he has bfa name written that no one knows but himself. 13He is clothed in bga robe dipped in
Some manuscripts sprinkled with
blood, and the name by which he is called is biThe Word of God.
14And the armies of heaven, bjarrayed in fine linen, white and pure, bkwere following him on white horses. 15 blFrom his mouth comes a sharp sword bmwith which to strike down the nations, and bnhe will rule them with a rod of iron. boHe will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh bphe has a name written, bqKing of kings and Lord of lords.

17Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to brall the birds that fly directly overhead, bsCome, gather for btthe great supper of God, 18 buto eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,
Greek bondservant
both small and great.”
19And I saw bwthe beast and the kings of the earth with their armies bxgathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20And the beast was captured, and with it bythe false prophet bzwho in its presence
Or on its behalf
had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who cbworshiped its image. These two were ccthrown alive into the lake of cdfire that burns with sulfur.
21And the rest were slain by the sword cethat came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and cfall the birds were gorged with their flesh.
