Revelation 19 NLT
Revelation 19 NLT
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and let
us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb,
and his bride has prepared herself.
8 She has been given the finest of pure
white linen to wear.” For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s
holy people.
9 And the angel said to me, “Write
this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And
he added, “These are true words that come from God.”
10Then I fell down at his feet to worship
him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you
and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship
only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus. ”
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and a white
horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges
fairly and wages a righteous war.
12 His eyes were like flames of fire,
and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one
understood except himself.
13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and
his title was the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven, dressed in the
finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses.
15 From his mouth came a sharp sword to
strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release
the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress.
16 On his robe at his thigh was written
this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the
sun, shouting to the vultures flying high in the sky: “Come! Gather together
for the great banquet God has prepared.
18 Come and eat the flesh of kings,
generals, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity,
both free and slave, small and great.”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of
the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting
on the horse and his army.
20 And the beast was captured, and with
him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles
that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his
statue. Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery
lake of burning sulfur.
21 Their entire army was
killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the one riding the white
horse. And the vultures all gorged themselves on the dead bodies
