Rejoicing in Heaven

1And after these things I heard a loud voice as of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honor, and power to the Lord our God: for true and righteous are his judgements; 2He hath judged the great whore, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand: 3(and again they said, Alleluia:) and her smoke ascendeth for ever and ever. 4And the four and twenty elders, and the four animals fell down and worshipped God that sat upon the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5And a voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great.

The Marriage of the Lamb

6And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the noise of many waters, and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Alleluia, for the Lord God the almighty reigneth.

7Let us rejoice and exult and give glory to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8And it was given to her, that she should be arrayed in fine linen clean and bright: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

9And he said unto me, Write, Happy they who are invited to the marriage-supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true words of God. 10And I fell at his feet to worship him: and he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and a fellow-servant of thy brethren, that hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the Spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

The Rider on the White Horse

11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He that sat upon it is called faithful and true, and in righteousness doth He judge and make war. 12His eyes are as a flame of fire, and many crowns on his head: and He hath a name written, which none knoweth but Himself. 13And He was clothed with a vesture dipt in blood: and his name is called, "The Word of God." 14And the armies in heaven followed Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that He may smite the nations therewith: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the wine-press of the indignation and wrath of God almighty. 16And He hath 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 an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together to the banquet of the great God; 18that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those that sit upon them, and the flesh of all, both freemen and slaves, both small and great.

19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war with him that sitteth upon the horse, and against his army.

20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet, who had wrought signs before him, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21And the rest were slain with the sword of Him that sitteth upon the horse, the sword that cometh out of his mouth: and all the fowls of heaven were satiated with their flesh.
