The Beast and His Armies Defeated
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, (A)“Come and gather together for the [a]supper of the great God, 18 (B)that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, [b]free and slave, both small and great.”
19 (C)And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 (D)Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and (E)those who worshiped his image. (F)These two were cast alive into the lake of fire (G)burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest (H)were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. (I)And all the birds (J)were filled with their flesh.

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face (A)the earth and the heaven fled away. (B)And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, (C)small and great, standing before [a]God, (D)and books were opened. And another (E)book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged (F)according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, (G)and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. (H)And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then (I)Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. (J)This is the second [b]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life (K)was cast into the lake of fire.

(H)I will call for the grain and multiply it, and (I)bring no famine upon you. 30 (J)And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. 31 Then (K)you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you (L)will [a]loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 (M)Not for your sake do I do this,” says the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!”
33 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, (N)and the ruins shall be rebuilt. 34 The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. 35 So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of (O)Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ 36 Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. (P)I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.”
37 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (Q)“I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them: I will (R)increase their men like a flock. 38 Like a [b]flock offered as holy sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem on its [c]feast days, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
