Apocalypse
19
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.
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.
And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke ascendeth
for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty ancients, and the four living
creatures fell down and adored God that sitteth upon
the throne, saying: Amen; Alleluia.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood;
and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD.
And the armies that are in heaven followed him on white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
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.
And he hath on his garment, and on his thigh written:
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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. |
