After these things I heard as it were the loud voice of a large crowd in heaven saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power to our God, 2 for his judgments {are} true and righteous, for he has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants from her hand.” \*
And they spoke a second {time}: “Hallelujah! Yes, the smoke of her rises to the ages of the ages.”
And the 24 elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, the One sitting on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” \*
And a voice came out from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all his servants and the ones fearing him, the small and the great.” \*
And I heard as it were the sound of a great crowd and as it were the sound of many waters and as it were the sound of powerful thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Ruler of All, reigns. \* 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give glory to him because the wedding of the Lamb has come and his bride has made herself ready 8 and it has been granted to her that she might be dressed in bright, clean fine linen.” (For fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.) \*
And he says to me, “Write, ‘Blessed {are} the ones having been called to the supper of the wedding of the Lamb.’” And he says to me, “These are true words of God.”
And I fell before his feet to worship him, but he says to me, “See not! I am a fellow servant of you and your brothers having the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” \*
And I saw heaven having been opened and behold, a white horse and the one riding on it, being called Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness,
his eyes also {being} a flame of fire, and many crowns {being} on his head, having a name written that no one knows except himself,
and having been clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and his name is called the Word of God. \*
And the armies in heaven were following him on white horses, having been clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And from his mouth goes out a sharp sword so that with it he might strike the nations, and he will rule them with an iron scepter, and he tramples the winepress of the wine of the wrath of the fury of God, the Ruler of All.
And he has a name written on {his} robe and on his thigh: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. \*
And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying in midheaven, “Come, be gathered together for the great supper of God,
so that you might eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of chiliarchs and the flesh of the mighty and the flesh of horses and of the ones sitting on them and the flesh of all, both of free and of slaves and of small and of great.” \*
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies having been gathered to make war with the one sitting on the horse and with his army.
And the beast was captured and with him the false prophet having performed signs before him, by which he deceived the ones having received the mark of the beast and the ones worshiping his image. The two were thrown living into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. \*
And the rest were killed by the sword of the one sitting on the horse, coming out from his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. \*
