The wedding of the Lamb

And after this I heard what sounded like a great crowd in heaven, saying: Alleluia. Salvation and glory and honour and power belong to the Lord our God. Because his judgements are true and righteous. He has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke goes up forever and ever. And the twenty-four elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: Amen. Alleluia. And a voice came out of the throne, saying: Praise our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, small and great. And I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and mighty thunderings, saying: Alleluia, because the Lord God omnipotent reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice and give him honour, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. And she was given fine linen to wear, clean and white — because the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints. And he said to me, Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, Don't do that. I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. Because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

After this I heard what sounded like the great roar of a huge crowd in heaven saying: Hallelujah. Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, because his judgments are true and just. He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants. And again they said: Hallelujah. The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever. And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God, who sits on the throne, saying: Amen. Hallelujah. And a voice came from the throne saying: Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great. Then I heard what sounded like a huge crowd, like the sound of many waters and like mighty thunderclaps, saying: Hallelujah, because the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let's be glad and celebrate and give him the glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. She was given fine linen to wear, bright and clean — and the fine linen is the righteous deeds of God's people. Then the angel said to me: Write this down. Good on those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb. And he said to me: These are the true words of God. I fell at his feet to worship him, and he said to me: Don't do that. I'm a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. Because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The rider on the white horse

And I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse. And the one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns. And he had a name written that nobody knows except himself. And he was dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven followed him on white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, to strike the nations with. And he will rule them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the fierce anger of Almighty God. And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried out with a loud voice to all the birds flying in the middle of heaven: Come and gather yourselves together for the supper of the great God, to eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, free and slave, small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered to make war against the one sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who had worked miracles before him, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with burning sulphur. And the rest were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the one sitting on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.
