| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1After these things, I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a large crowd in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2His judgments are true and just. He has condemned the notorious prostitute who corrupted the world with her immorality. He has taken revenge on her for the blood of his servants." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3A second time they said, "Hallelujah! The smoke goes up from her forever and ever." |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures bowed down and worshipped God, who was sitting on the throne. They said, "Amen! Hallelujah!" |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5A voice came from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all who serve and fear him, from the least important to the most important." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Then 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, "Hallelujah! The Lord our God, the Almighty, is reigning. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Let us rejoice, be glad, and give him glory, because the marriage of the lamb has come and his bride has made herself ready. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8She has been given the privilege of wearing fine linen, dazzling and pure." (The fine linen represents the righteous deeds of the saints.) |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Then the angel told 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." |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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 rely on what Jesus is saying. Worship God, because what Jesus is saying is the spirit of prophecy!" |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then I saw heaven standing open, and there was a white horse! Its rider is named Faithful and True. He administers justice and wages war righteously. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14The armies of heaven, wearing fine linen, white and pure, follow him on white horses. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15A sharp sword comes out of his mouth to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod and tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16On his robe that covers his thigh he has a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Then 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. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of warriors, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, both free and slaves, both unimportant and important." |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Then 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. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The beast was captured, along with the false prophet who had performed signs on its behalf. By these signs the false prophet had deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshipped its image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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 with their flesh. |
