Offenbarung 19
Schlachter 1951
Der Jubel im Himmel - Die Hochzeit des Lammes
19 Darnach hörte ich wie eine laute Stimme einer großen Menge im Himmel, die sprachen: Halleluja! Das Heil und der Ruhm und die Kraft gehören unsrem Gott! 2 Denn wahrhaft und gerecht sind seine Gerichte; denn er hat die große Hure gerichtet, welche die Erde mit ihrer Unzucht verderbte, und hat das Blut seiner Knechte von ihrer Hand gefordert! 3 Und abermals sprachen sie: Halleluja! Und ihr Rauch steigt auf von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit!
4 Und die vierundzwanzig Ältesten und die vier lebendigen Wesen fielen nieder und beteten Gott an, der auf dem Throne saß, und sprachen: Amen! Halleluja!
5 Und eine Stimme ging aus vom Throne, die sprach: Lobet unsren Gott, alle seine Knechte und die ihr ihn fürchtet, die Kleinen und die Großen!
6 Und ich hörte wie die Stimme einer großen Menge und wie das Rauschen vieler Wasser und wie die Stimme starker Donner, die sprachen: Halleluja! Denn der Herr, unser Gott, der Allmächtige, ist König geworden! 7 Laßt uns fröhlich sein und frohlocken und ihm die Ehre geben! Denn die Hochzeit des Lammes ist gekommen, und sein Weib (seine Braut- GW) hat sich bereitet. 8 Und es wurde ihr gegeben, sich in feine, glänzend reine Leinwand zu kleiden; denn die feine Leinwand ist die Gerechtigkeit der Heiligen.
9 Und er sprach zu mir: Schreibe: Selig sind die, welche zum Hochzeitsmahl des Lammes berufen sind! Und er sprach zu mir: Dieses sind wahrhaftige Worte Gottes! 10 Und ich fiel vor seinen Füßen nieder, ihn anzubeten. Und er sprach zu mir: Siehe zu, tue es nicht! Ich bin dein Mitknecht und der deiner Brüder, die das Zeugnis Jesu haben. Bete Gott an! Denn das Zeugnis Jesu ist der Geist der Weissagung.
Die Wiederkunft Christi - Der Sieg über das Tier und den falschen Propheten
11 Und ich sah den Himmel geöffnet, und siehe, ein weißes Pferd, und der darauf saß, heißt der Treue und Wahrhaftige; und mit Gerechtigkeit richtet und streitet er. 12 Seine Augen sind eine Feuerflamme, und auf seinem Haupte sind viele Kronen, und er trägt einen Namen geschrieben, den niemand kennt als nur er selbst. 13 Und er ist angetan mit einem Kleide, das in Blut getaucht ist, und sein Name heißt: "Das Wort Gottes". 14 Und die Heere im Himmel folgten ihm nach auf weißen Pferden und waren angetan mit weißer und reiner Leinwand. 15 Und aus seinem Munde geht ein scharfes Schwert, daß er die Heiden damit schlage, und er wird sie mit eisernem Stabe weiden, und er tritt die Weinkelter des grimmigen Zornes des allmächtigen Gottes. 16 Und er trägt an seinem Kleide und an seiner Hüfte den Namen geschrieben: "König der Könige und Herr der Herren."
17 Und ich sah einen Engel in der Sonne stehen, der rief mit lauter Stimme und sprach zu allen Vögeln, die durch die Mitte des Himmels fliegen: Kommt und versammelt euch zu dem großen Mahle Gottes, 18 zu verzehren das Fleisch der Könige und das Fleisch der Heerführer und das Fleisch der Starken und das Fleisch der Pferde und derer, die darauf sitzen, und das Fleisch aller Freien und Knechte, der Kleinen und Großen[a]!
19 Und ich sah das Tier und die Könige der Erde und ihre Heere versammelt, um Krieg zu führen mit dem, der auf dem Pferde sitzt, und mit seinem Heer.
20 Und das Tier wurde ergriffen und mit ihm der falsche Prophet, der die Zeichen vor ihm tat, durch welche er die verführte, die das Malzeichen des Tieres annahmen und sein Bild anbeteten; lebendig wurden die beiden in den Feuersee geworfen, der mit Schwefel brennt. 21 Und die übrigen wurden getötet mit dem Schwert, das aus dem Munde dessen hervorgeht, der auf dem Pferde sitzt, und alle Vögel sättigten sich von ihrem Fleisch.

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,
2 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)
3 And again they shouted:
4 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)
5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
6 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)
7 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.
8 Fine linen,(X) bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(Y) of God’s holy people.)
9 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.

19 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God; 2 for his judgments are true and righteous. For he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”
3 A second said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever.” 4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
5 A voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!”
6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns! 7 Let’s rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let’s give the glory to him. For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.” 8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
9 He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.”
10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”
11 I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself. 13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.” 14 The armies which are in heaven, clothed in white, pure, fine linen, followed him on white horses. 15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod.(A) He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
17 I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God,[a] 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, small and great.” 19 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 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. So all the birds were filled with their flesh.
