14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen,(A) white(B) and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword(C) with which to strike down(D) the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a](E) He treads the winepress(F) of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:(G)

king of kings and lord of lords.(H)

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds(I) flying in midair,(J) “Come,(K) gather together for the great supper of God,(L) 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,(M) free and slave,(N) great and small.”(O)

19 Then I saw the beast(P) and the kings of the earth(Q) and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse(R) and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet(S) who had performed the signs(T) on its behalf.(U) With these signs he had deluded(V) those who had received the mark of the beast(W) and worshiped its image.(X) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake(Y) of burning sulfur.(Z) 21 The rest were killed with the sword(AA) coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,(AB) and all the birds(AC) gorged themselves on their flesh.

  1. Revelation 19:15 Psalm 2:9

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.

Psalm 2

Why do the nations conspire[a]
    and the peoples plot(A) in vain?
The kings(B) of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed,(C) saying,
“Let us break their chains(D)
    and throw off their shackles.”(E)

The One enthroned(F) in heaven laughs;(G)
    the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger(H)
    and terrifies them in his wrath,(I) saying,
“I have installed my king(J)
    on Zion,(K) my holy mountain.(L)

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;(M)
    today I have become your father.(N)
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations(O) your inheritance,(P)
    the ends of the earth(Q) your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron[b];(R)

  1. Psalm 2:1 Hebrew; Septuagint rage
  2. Psalm 2:9 Or will rule them with an iron scepter (see Septuagint and Syriac)

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

In return for my friendship they accuse me,
    but I am a man of prayer.(A)
They repay me evil for good,(B)
    and hatred for my friendship.

Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
    let an accuser(C) stand at his right hand.
When he is tried, let him be found guilty,(D)
    and may his prayers condemn(E) him.
May his days be few;(F)
    may another take his place(G) of leadership.
May his children be fatherless
    and his wife a widow.(H)
10 May his children be wandering beggars;(I)
    may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor(J) seize all he has;
    may strangers plunder(K) the fruits of his labor.(L)
12 May no one extend kindness to him
    or take pity(M) on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,(N)
    their names blotted out(O) from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers(P) be remembered before the Lord;
    may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before(Q) the Lord,
    that he may blot out their name(R) from the earth.

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
    but hounded to death the poor
    and the needy(S) and the brokenhearted.(T)
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
    may it come back on him.(U)
He found no pleasure in blessing—
    may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing(V) as his garment;
    it entered into his body like water,(W)
    into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped(X) about him,
    like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment(Y) to my accusers,
    to those who speak evil(Z) of me.

  1. Psalm 109:10 Septuagint; Hebrew sought

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
