Revelation 19:1-16
Revelation 19:1-16 (Good News Translation)
1After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a large crowd of people
in heaven, saying,
Praise God! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God!
2True and just are his judgments! He has condemned the
prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her immorality. God has
punished her because she killed his servants.
3Again they shouted,
Praise God! The smoke from the flames that consume the great
city goes up forever and ever!
4The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down
and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. They said,
Amen! Praise God!
5Then there came from the throne the sound of a voice, saying,
Praise our God, all his servants and all people, both great and
small, who have reverence for him!
6Then I heard what sounded like a crowd, like the sound of a
roaring waterfall, like loud peals of thunder. I heard them say,
Praise God! For the Lord, our Almighty God, is King!
7Let us rejoice and be glad; let us praise his greatness! For
the time has come for the wedding of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared
herself for it.
8She has been given clean shining linen to wear.
(The linen is the good deeds of God's people.)
9Then the angel said to me,
Write this: Happy are those who have been invited to the wedding
feast of the Lamb. And the angel added,
These are the true words of God.
10I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me,
Don't do it! I am a servant together with you and with other
believers, all those who hold to the truth that Jesus revealed. Worship
God!
For the truth that Jesus revealed is what inspires the prophets.
11Then I saw heaven open, and there was a white horse. Its
rider is called Faithful and True; it is with justice that he judges and
fights his battles.
12His eyes were like a flame of fire, and he wore many crowns
on his head. He had a name written on him, but no one except himself knows
what it is.
13The robe he wore was covered with blood. His name is
The Word of God.
14The armies of heaven followed him, riding on white horses and
dressed in clean white linen.
15Out of his mouth came a sharp sword, with which he will
defeat the nations. He will rule over them with a rod of iron, and he will
trample out the wine in the wine press of the furious anger of the Almighty
God.
16On his robe and on his thigh was written the name:
King of kings and Lord of lords.
