Cântico de vitória no céu

19 Depois disso, ouvi algo semelhante ao som de uma grande multidão clamando:

“Aleluia![a]
Salvação, glória e poder pertencem a nosso Deus.
Seus julgamentos são verdadeiros e justos.
Ele castigou a grande prostituta,
que corrompia a terra com sua imoralidade,
e vingou o assassinato de seus servos”.

E, mais uma vez, as vozes ressoaram:

“Aleluia!

A fumaça dessa cidade sobe para todo o sempre!”.

Então os 24 anciãos e os quatro seres vivos se prostraram e adoraram a Deus, que estava sentado no trono. Disseram: “Amém! Aleluia!”.

E do trono veio uma voz que dizia:

“Louvem nosso Deus,
todos os seus servos,
todos os que o temem,
pequenos e grandes”.

Em seguida, ouvi outra vez algo semelhante ao som do clamor de uma grande multidão, como o som de fortes ondas do mar, como o som de violentos trovões:

“Aleluia!
Porque o Senhor, nosso Deus,[b] o Todo-poderoso, reina.
Alegremo-nos, exultemos
e a ele demos glória,
pois chegou a hora do casamento do Cordeiro,
e sua noiva já se preparou.
Ela recebeu um vestido do linho mais fino,
puro e branco”.

Porque o linho fino representa os atos justos do povo santo.

E o anjo me disse: “Escreva isto: Felizes os que são convidados para o banquete de casamento do Cordeiro”. E acrescentou: “Essas são as palavras verdadeiras de Deus”.

10 Então caí aos pés do anjo para adorá-lo, mas ele me disse: “Não faça isso! Sou um servo, como você e seus irmãos que dão testemunho de sua fé em Jesus. Adore somente a Deus, pois o testemunho a respeito de Jesus é a essência da mensagem revelada aos profetas”.

O cavaleiro no cavalo branco

11 Vi o céu aberto, e surgiu um cavalo branco. Seu cavaleiro se chama Fiel e Verdadeiro, pois julga e guerreia com justiça. 12 Seus olhos eram como chamas de fogo, e em sua cabeça havia muitas coroas. Nele estava escrito um nome que ninguém conhece, a não ser ele mesmo. 13 Vestia um manto encharcado de sangue, e seu nome era a Palavra de Deus. 14 Os exércitos do céu, vestidos do linho mais fino, puro e branco, seguiam-no em cavalos brancos. 15 De sua boca saía uma espada afiada para ferir as nações. Ele as governará com cetro de ferro e esmagará as uvas no tanque de prensar da furiosa ira de Deus, o Todo-poderoso. 16 Em seu manto, na altura da coxa,[c] estava escrito o nome: Rei dos reis e Senhor dos senhores.

17 Então vi um anjo em pé no sol. Gritava para as aves que voavam no ponto mais alto do céu: “Venham! Reúnam-se para o grande banquete que Deus preparou! 18 Venham e comam a carne dos reis, dos generais e dos fortes guerreiros; dos cavalos e de seus cavaleiros; de toda a humanidade, escravos e livres, pequenos e grandes”.

19 Depois vi a besta e os reis da terra e seus exércitos reunidos para lutarem contra aquele que montava no cavalo e contra seu exército. 20 Mas a besta foi presa e, com ela, o falso profeta que fazia sinais em seu nome, sinais que enganaram todos que haviam recebido a marca da besta e adoravam sua estátua. Tanto a besta como seu falso profeta foram lançados vivos no lago de fogo que arde com enxofre. 21 Todo o seu exército foi morto com a espada afiada que saía da boca daquele que montava no cavalo branco. E todas as aves se fartaram com a carne dos cadáveres.

¡Aleluya!

19 Después de esto oí en el cielo un tremendo bullicio, como el de una inmensa multitud que exclamaba:

«¡Aleluya!
La salvación, la gloria y el poder son de nuestro Dios,
    pues sus juicios son verdaderos y justos:
ha condenado a la gran prostituta
    que con sus adulterios corrompía la tierra;
ha vindicado la sangre de los siervos de Dios derramada por ella».

Y volvieron a exclamar:

«¡Aleluya!
El humo de ella sube por los siglos de los siglos».

Entonces los veinticuatro ancianos y los cuatro seres vivientes se postraron y adoraron a Dios, que estaba sentado en el trono, y dijeron:

«¡Amén, Aleluya!».

Y del trono salió una voz que decía:

«¡Alaben ustedes a nuestro Dios,
    todos sus siervos, grandes y pequeños,
    quienes con reverente temor le sirven!».

Después oí voces como el rumor de una inmensa multitud, como el ruido de muchas aguas y como el retumbar de potentes truenos, que exclamaban:

«¡Aleluya!
Ya ha comenzado a reinar el Señor,
    nuestro Dios Todopoderoso.
¡Alegrémonos y regocijémonos
    y démosle gloria!
Ya ha llegado el día de las bodas del Cordero.
    Su novia se ha preparado
y se le ha concedido vestirse
    de tela de lino fino, limpio y resplandeciente».

(El lino fino representa las acciones justas de los creyentes).

El ángel me dijo: «Escribe: “¡Dichosos los que han sido convidados a la cena de las bodas del Cordero!”». Y añadió: «Estas son las palabras verdaderas de Dios».

10 Me postré a sus pies para adorarlo. Pero él me dijo: «¡No, cuidado! Soy un siervo como tú y como tus hermanos que se mantienen fieles al testimonio de Jesús. ¡Adora solo a Dios! El testimonio de Jesús es el espíritu que inspira la profecía».

El jinete del caballo blanco

11 Luego vi el cielo abierto y apareció un caballo blanco. Su jinete se llama Fiel y Verdadero. Con justicia dicta sentencia y hace la guerra. 12 Sus ojos resplandecen como llamas de fuego y muchas diademas ciñen su cabeza. Lleva escrito un nombre que nadie conoce sino solo él. 13 Está vestido de un manto teñido en sangre y su nombre es «el Verbo de Dios». 14 Lo siguen los ejércitos del cielo, montados en caballos blancos y vestidos de tela de lino fino, blanco y limpio. 15 De su boca sale una espada afilada, con la que herirá a las naciones. «Las gobernará con cetro de hierro».[a] Él mismo exprime uvas en el lagar para sacar el vino del furor del castigo que viene de Dios Todopoderoso. 16 En su manto y sobre el muslo lleva escrito este nombre:

rey de reyes y señor de señores.

17 Vi a un ángel que, parado sobre el sol, gritaba a todas las aves que vuelan en medio del cielo: «Vengan, reúnanse para la gran cena de Dios, 18 para que coman carne de reyes, de jefes militares y de magnates; carne de caballos y de sus jinetes; carne de toda clase de gente, libres y esclavos, grandes y pequeños».

19 Entonces vi a la bestia y a los reyes de la tierra con sus ejércitos, reunidos para hacer guerra contra el jinete de aquel caballo y contra su ejército. 20 Pero la bestia fue capturada junto con el falso profeta. Este es el que hacía señales en presencia de ella, con las cuales engañaba a los que habían recibido la marca de la bestia y adoraban su imagen. Los dos fueron arrojados vivos al lago de fuego y azufre. 21 Los demás fueron muertos por medio de la espada que salía de la boca del que montaba a caballo. Todas las aves se saciaron devorando la carne de ellos.

Threefold Hallelujah Over Babylon’s Fall

19 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude(A) in heaven shouting:

“Hallelujah!(B)
Salvation(C) and glory and power(D) belong to our God,
    for true and just are his judgments.(E)
He has condemned the great prostitute(F)
    who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”(G)

And again they shouted:

“Hallelujah!(H)
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”(I)

The twenty-four elders(J) and the four living creatures(K) fell down(L) and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:

“Amen, Hallelujah!”(M)

Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,(N)
you who fear him,
    both great and small!”(O)

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude,(P) like the roar of rushing waters(Q) and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah!(R)
    For our Lord God Almighty(S) reigns.(T)
Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!(U)
For the wedding of the Lamb(V) has come,
    and his bride(W) has made herself ready.
Fine linen,(X) bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(Y) of God’s holy people.)

Then the angel said to me,(Z) “Write this:(AA) Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”(AB) And he added, “These are the true words of God.”(AC)

10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him.(AD) But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!(AE) For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”(AF)

The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast

11 I saw heaven standing open(AG) and there before me was a white horse, whose rider(AH) is called Faithful and True.(AI) With justice he judges and wages war.(AJ) 12 His eyes are like blazing fire,(AK) and on his head are many crowns.(AL) He has a name written on him(AM) that no one knows but he himself.(AN) 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,(AO) and his name is the Word of God.(AP) 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen,(AQ) white(AR) and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword(AS) with which to strike down(AT) the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a](AU) He treads the winepress(AV) of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:(AW)

king of kings and lord of lords.(AX)

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds(AY) flying in midair,(AZ) “Come,(BA) gather together for the great supper of God,(BB) 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people,(BC) free and slave,(BD) great and small.”(BE)

19 Then I saw the beast(BF) and the kings of the earth(BG) and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse(BH) and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet(BI) who had performed the signs(BJ) on its behalf.(BK) With these signs he had deluded(BL) those who had received the mark of the beast(BM) and worshiped its image.(BN) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake(BO) of burning sulfur.(BP) 21 The rest were killed with the sword(BQ) coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,(BR) and all the birds(BS) gorged themselves on their flesh.

  1. Revelation 19:15 Psalm 2:9

19 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.

10 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.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
