1 And 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;
2 note He 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 note they said, Alleluia:)
and her smoke ascendeth note for ever and ever.
4 And the
four and twenty elders, and the four animals fell down
and worshipped God that sat upon the throne, saying,
Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise
our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear Him, both
small and great.
6 And 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.
7 Let us rejoice
and exult and give glory to Him: for the marriage of
the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
note
8 And it was given to her, that she should be arrayed in
fine linen clean and bright: for the fine linen is note the
righteousness of the saints.
9 And 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.
10 And 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 note the testimony of Jesus.
11 And 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.
12 His
eyes are as a flame of fire, and many crowns on his
head: note and He hath a name written, which none
knoweth but Himself.
13 And He was clothed with a
vesture dipt in blood: and his name is called, “The
note Word of God.”
14 And the armies in heaven followed
Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen white and
clean.
15 And 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.
16 And He hath on his vesture and on his thigh
a name written, “King of kings, and Lord of lords.”
17 And I saw note 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 note banquet of the great God;
18 that ye may eat the
flesh of kings, and the flesh of note 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.
19 And 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.
20 And
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 note mark of the beast,
and those who worshipped his image. These note both
were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And 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.
