19 Pagkatapos, nakarinig ako ng parang napakaraming tao sa langit na nagsisigawan, “Purihin ang Panginoon! Purihin ang Dios nating makapangyarihan, dahil siya ang nagligtas sa atin! Matuwid at tama ang kanyang paghatol. Hinatulan niya ang sikat na babaeng bayaran na nagpasama sa mga tao sa mundo dahil sa kanyang imoralidad. Pinarusahan siya ng Dios dahil pinatay niya ang mga lingkod ng Dios.” Sinabi nilang muli, “Purihin ang Panginoon! Ang usok ng nasusunog na lungsod ay papailanlang magpakailanman!” Lumuhod ang 24 na namumuno at ang apat na buhay na nilalang at sumamba sa Dios na nakaupo sa kanyang trono. Sinabi nila, “Amen! Purihin ang Panginoon!”

Handaan sa Kasal ng Tupa

Pagkatapos, may narinig akong nagsalita mula sa trono, “Purihin ninyo ang ating Dios, kayong lahat na naglilingkod sa kanya nang may takot, dakila man o hindi.” Pagkatapos, muling may narinig ako, parang ingay ng napakaraming tao na parang lagaslas ng talon o dagundong ng malakas na kulog. Ito ang sinasabi, “Purihin ang Panginoon! Sapagkat naghahari na ang Panginoon na ating Dios na makapangyarihan sa lahat! Magalak tayo at magsaya, at purihin natin siya. Sapagkat dumating na ang oras ng kasal ng Tupa, at nakahanda na ang kanyang nobya. Pinagsuot siya ng damit na malinis, makinang, at puting-puti.” Ang ibig sabihin ng puting damit ay ang mabubuting gawa ng mga pinabanal[a] ng Dios.

At sinabi sa akin ng anghel, “Isulat mo ito: Mapalad ang mga inimbitahan sa handaan sa kasal ng Tupa.” At sinabi pa niya, “Totoo ang mga sinasabing ito ng Dios.” 10 Lumuhod ako sa paanan niya upang sumamba sa kanya. Pero sinabi niya sa akin, “Huwag! Huwag mo akong sambahin. Sapagkat alipin din ako ng Dios, tulad mo at ng mga kapatid mong nagpapahayag ng katotohanang itinuro ni Jesus.[b] Ang Dios ang sambahin mo!” (Sapagkat ang mga katotohanang itinuro ni Jesus ay siyang buod ng mga sinabi at isinulat ng mga propeta.)

Ang Nakasakay sa Puting Kabayo

11 Pagkatapos, nakita kong nabuksan ang langit, at may puting kabayo na nakatayo roon. Ang nakasakay ay tinatawag na Tapat at Totoo. Sapagkat matuwid siyang humatol at makipagdigma. 12 Parang nagniningas na apoy ang mga mata niya at marami ang mga korona niya sa ulo. May nakasulat na pangalan sa kanya, na siya lang ang nakakaalam kung ano ang kahulugan. 13 Ang suot niyang damit ay inilubog sa dugo. At ang tawag sa kanya ay “Salita ng Dios.” 14 Sinusundan siya ng mga sundalo mula sa langit. Nakasakay din sila sa mga puting kabayo, at ang mga damit nila ay malinis at puting-puti. 15 Mula sa bibig niya ay lumalabas ang matalas na espada na gagamitin niyang panlupig sa mga bansa. At pamamahalaan niya sila sa pamamagitan ng kamay na bakal. Ipapakita niya sa kanila ang matinding galit ng Dios na makapangyarihan sa lahat. 16 Sa damit at sa hita niya ay may nakasulat: “Hari ng mga hari at Panginoon ng mga panginoon.”

17 Pagkatapos, nakita ko ang isang anghel na nakatayo sa araw. Sumigaw siya sa mga ibong lumilipad sa himpapawid, “Halikayo! Magtipon kayo para sa malaking handaan ng Dios! 18 Halikayo! Kainin ninyo ang laman ng mga hari, mga heneral, mga kawal, mga nakasakay sa kabayo, pati na ang laman ng kanilang mga kabayo. Kainin ninyo ang laman ng lahat ng tao, alipin man o hindi, hamak man o dakila.”

19 Pagkatapos, nakita ko ang halimaw at ang mga hari sa mundo kasama ang kanilang mga kawal. Nagtipon sila upang labanan ang nakasakay sa puting kabayo at ang kanyang mga sundalo mula sa langit. 20 Ngunit dinakip ang halimaw. Dinakip din ang huwad at sinungaling na propeta na gumagawa ng mga himala para sa halimaw. Ang mga himalang ito ang ginamit niya upang dayain ang mga taong may tatak ng halimaw at sumasamba sa imahen nito. Silang dalawa ay itinapon nang buhay sa lawang apoy na may nagliliyab na asupre. 21 Pinatay ang mga sundalo nila sa pamamagitan ng espadang lumabas sa bibig ng nakasakay sa puting kabayo. At ang mga ibon ay nagsawa sa kakakain ng kanilang bangkay.

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 After these things I heard, as it were, a kol gadol (loud voice) of a great, multititude in Shomayim, saying, "Praise Hashem! The Yeshu’ah (Salvation) and the Kavod (Glory) and the Gevurah (Power) is of Eloheinu!

“Because emes and tzedek are His judgments because He judged the Zonah Hagedolah who was corrupting ha’aretz (the earth) with the zenut (fornication) of her and He took vengeance on her who has on her hands the dahm of His servants."

And again they said, “Praise Hashem! The smoke of her ascends l’olemei olamim!” [YESHAYAH 34:10]

And the esrim v’arba’ah Zekenim (twenty-four Elders) fell down and the Arbah Chayyot (four living beings) and they worshiped Hashem who sits on the Kes (Throne), saying, “Omein, Praise Hashem!”

And a kol (voice) from the Kes (Throne) came forth, saying, “Say ‘Baruch Hashem Eloheinu,’ all you avadim (servants) of him and the ones with yirat Shomayim, ketanim (small ones) and the gedolim (great ones).” [TEHILLIM 134:1; 115:13]

And I heard, as it were, a sound of a great multitude and a sound like mayim rabbim (many waters) and a sound like mighty thunder saying, “ Baruch Hashem! Because Hashem Eloheinu reigns, El Shaddai.

“Let us have simcha and exult, and give kavod (glory) to him because has come the Yom HaChuppah, the Yom Nisu’im of the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12:3; YESHAYAH 53:7 Moshiach), and His Kallah (Bride) has made herself ready.”

And it was given to her that she should be clothed with fine linen, bright and tahor (clean); for the fine linen are the Tzedakot of the Kadoshim. [YESHAYAH 61:10; YECHEZKEL 44:17; ZECHARYAH 3:4]

And he says to me, Write: "Ashrey are the ones having been summoned to the Seudas Moshiach, the Seudas Yom Nisu’im of the SEH” (Lamb, SHEMOT 12:3; YESHAYAH 53:7 Moshiach). And he says to me, “These are divrei Emes of Hashem.”

10 And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, “You must abstain from such. For I am a fellow eved with both you and your chaverim who hold on to the edut (testimony) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach; worship Hashem! For the edut (testimony) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua is the Ruach HaNevu’ah (prophecy).”

11 And I saw Shomayim having been opened, and, hinei, a sus lavan (white horse) and the one riding on it is called Ne’eman and Yashar, and in Tzedek [DANIEL 9:25] He judges and makes milchamah (war). [SHEMOT 15:3; TEHILLIM 96:13; YESHAYAH 11:4]

12 And the Eynayim of Him are as a flame of eish, and on the head of Him are many atarot, and He has a Name inscribed of which no one has da’as except Himself.

13 And He is robed in a kaftan dipped in dahm, and His Name is called, “The DVAR HASHEM.” [YESHAYAH 63:2,3]

14 And the Tzivos Hashem (the Army of Hashem), the Tzivos HaShomayim, were following Him on susim levanim (white horses). They were dressed in fine linen, lavan (white) and tahor (clean).

15 And out of the peh (mouth) of Him goes forth a sharp cherev, that with it He may strike the Goyim, and He will shepherd them with a shevet barzel, and He treads the press of the yayin of the fury of Charon Af of Hashem, El Shaddai. [YESHAYAH 11:4; TEHILLIM 2:9]

16 And He has on His kaftan and on His thigh a name inscribed: MELECH HAMELACHIM AND ADON HAADONIM.

17 And I saw one malach (angel) having taken his stand in the shemesh (sun) and he cried out in a kol gadol (loud voice), saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, “Bo! Gather to the Seudah Hagedolah of Hashem; [Jer 12:9; 46:10; Ezek 39:17; Isa 34:6]

18 “That you may eat the basar of melachim (kings) and the basar of captains and the basar of strong men and the basar of susim and of their riders and the basar of all, both, bnei Chorin and avadim and the ketanim and the gedolim.” [YECHEZKEL 39:18-20]

19 And I saw the Chayyah [Anti-Moshiach] and the melachim (kings) of ha’aretz and their armies assembled to make milchamah (war) with the One sitting on the sus (horse) and with the Tzivos Hashem (Army of Hashem).

20 And the Chayyah [Anti-Moshiach] was captured and, with it, the Navi Sheker (the False Prophet), the one having performed the otot (signs) before it, by which he deceived the ones having received the tav (mark) of the Chayyah [Anti-Moshiach] and the ones worshiping its Atzav (idol, image). These two were cast alive into the Agam HaEish (Lake of Fire) burning with gofrit (sulfur). [DANIEL 7:11]

21 And the rest were killed with the cherev (sword) of the One sitting on the sus (horse), the cherev (sword) having proceeded out of the PEH of Him, and all the birds were fully fed by their basar.
