Rejoicing in Heaven

1After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a vast multitude in the heaven, saying, Hallelujah! Salvation, and glary, and power, belong to our God: 2because his judgments are true and righteous; because he has judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth by her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his servants from her hand. 3And a second time they said, Hallelujah! and her smoke is going up unto the ages of the ages. 4And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sitteth upon the throne, saying Amen; Hallelujah! 5And a voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, ye who fear him, small and great.

The Marriage of the Lamb

6And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah! because the Lord our God Omnipotent reigned.

7Let us rejoice and be glad, and give glory to him! because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready. 8And it was given unto her that she should be clothed in linen, bright and clean. For the linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

9And he says to me, Write, Blessed are they who have been called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And He says to me, These are the true words of God. 10And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he says to me; See that you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and one of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The Rider on the White Horse

11And I saw the heaven open, and behold a white horse; and one sitting on him called, Faithful and True, in righteousness he both judges and wages war. 12And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; having a name written, which no one knows, but himself, 13and being clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name has been called, The Word of God. 14Armies in the heaven follow him on white horses, clothed in linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goes forth a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations; and he will shepherdize them with an iron rod: and he treads the winepress of the wrath of the indignation of God Almighty. 16And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords.

Defeat of the Beast and False Prophet

17And I saw one angel standing on the sun; and he cried with a great voice, saying to all the birds which fly in the midst of heaven, Come, gather yourselves to the great banquet of God; 18in order that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of chiliarchs, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all free men and slaves also, both small and great.

19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, assembled to make war with the one sitting on the horse, and with his army.

20And the beast, and the false prophet along with him, who wrought miracles in his presence, by which he deceived those having received the mark of the beast, and those worshiping his image; and the two were cast alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. 21And the rest were slain with the sword proceeding out from the mouth of him, the one sitting on the horse: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
