Ang Kasiyahan sa Langit

19 Pagkatapos ng mga ito, narinig ko ang tila malakas na tinig ng napakaraming tao sa langit na nagsasabi,

“Aleluia!
Ang pagliligtas, kaluwalhatian at kapangyarihan ay sa ating Diyos,
    sapagkat (A) ang hatol niya ay tunay at makatarungan;
hinatulan niya ang tanyag na babaing mahalay
    na sumira ng daigdig sa pamamagitan ng kanyang imoralidad
at ipinagbayad siya ng Diyos sa dugo ng kanyang mga lingkod.”

At (B) nagsalita silang muli,

“Aleluia!
Ang usok mula sa tanyag na lungsod ay pumapailanlang magpakailanpaman.”

At ang dalawampu't apat na matatanda at ang apat na buháy na nilalang ay nagpatirapa at sumamba sa Diyos na nakaupo sa trono. At sila'y nagsabi,

“Amen. Aleluia!”

Mula (C) sa trono ay lumabas ang isang tinig,

“Purihin ninyo ang ating Diyos,
    kayong lahat na mga lingkod niya,
kayong mga natatakot sa kanya,
    mga hamak man o dakila.”

At (D) narinig ko ang parang tinig ng napakaraming tao, tulad ng lagaslas ng maraming tubig at tulad ng malalakas na dagundong ng kulog, na nagsasabi,

“Aleluia!
Sapagkat ang Panginoon nating Diyos
    na Makapangyarihan sa lahat ay naghahari.
Magalak tayo at magdiwang,
    luwalhatiin natin siya,
sapagkat sumapit na ang kasal ng Kordero,
    at inihanda ng kanyang kasintahan ang kanyang sarili.
Binigyan siya ng pinong lino
    makintab at malinis upang isuot niya”—

sapagkat ang pinong lino ay ang matutuwid na gawa ng mga banal.

At (E) sinabi sa akin ng anghel, “Isulat mo ito: Pinagpala ang mga inanyayahan sa handaan ng kasal ng Kordero.” At sinabi niya sa akin, “Ito ay tunay na mga salita ng Diyos.” 10 Nagpatirapa ako sa kanyang paanan upang sumamba sa kanya, subalit sinabi niya sa akin, “Huwag mong gawin iyan! Ako ay kapwa mo lingkod na kasama mo at ng iyong mga kapatid na naninindigan sa patotoo ni Jesus. Sa Diyos ka sumamba! Sapagkat ang patotoo ni Jesus ang espiritu ng propesiya.”

Ang Nakasakay sa Puting Kabayo

11 Pagkatapos, (F) nakita kong bumukas ang langit, at doon ay lumitaw ang isang puting kabayo. Tapat at Totoo ang tawag sa nakasakay dito, at makatarungan siyang humahatol at nakikipagdigma. 12 Ang (G) mga mata niya ay parang ningas ng apoy, at sa ulo niya ay maraming korona. Mayroon sa kanyang nakasulat na pangalan na siya lamang ang nakakaalam. 13 Ang (H) suot niyang damit ay itinubog sa dugo, at siya'y tinatawag sa pangalang Ang Salita ng Diyos. 14 At ang mga hukbo ng langit na nakasuot ng pinong lino, puti at dalisay ay sumusunod sa kanya; sila'y nakasakay sa mga puting kabayo. 15 Mula (I) sa kanyang bibig ay lumalabas ang isang matalas na tabak na pantaga sa mga bansa, at siya ay maghahari sa kanila gamit ang tungkod na bakal. Tatapak-tapakan niya ang mga ubas sa pisaan upang lumabas ang katas ng bagsik ng poot ng Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat. 16 Sa kanyang damit at hita ay may nakasulat na pangalan, “Hari ng mga hari at Panginoon ng mga panginoon.”

17 Pagkatapos, nakita (J) ko ang isang anghel na nakatayo sa araw, at siya'y sumigaw ng malakas na nagsasabi sa lahat ng mga ibong lumilipad sa himpapawid, “Halikayo, magsama-sama kayo upang dumalo sa malaking piging na inihanda ng Diyos. 18 Halikayo at kainin ninyo ang karne ng mga hari, ang karne ng mga kapitan, ang karne ng mga taong makapangyarihan, ang karne ng mga kabayo at ng mga nakasakay sa kanila—ang karne ng lahat ng tao, malaya man o alipin, hamak man o dakila.” 19 At nakita ko ang halimaw at ang mga hari sa daigdig kasama ang kanilang mga hukbo na nagsama-sama upang makidigma sa nakasakay sa kabayo at sa kanyang hukbo. 20 Hinuli (K) ang halimaw, kasama ang kanyang huwad na propeta na sa kanyang harapan ay gumawa ng tanda na ginamit niya upang linlangin ang mga tumanggap ng tanda ng halimaw at sa mga sumamba sa larawan niya. Ang dalawang ito ay itinapon nang buháy sa lawa ng nagliliyab na asupre. 21 At ang mga iba naman ay pinatay sa pamamagitan ng tabak ng nakasakay sa kabayo, ang tabak na lumabas mula sa kanyang bibig; at lahat ng mga ibon ay nabusog sa kanilang mga laman.

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.

Rejoicing in Heaven

19 After this I heard (A)what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
(B)Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
    for (C)his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged (D)the great prostitute
    who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and (E)has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

Once more they cried out,

“Hallelujah!
(F)The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”

And (G)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” And from the throne came a voice saying,

(H)“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,
(I)you who fear him,
    small and great.”

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Then I heard what seemed to be (J)the voice of a great multitude, like (K)the roar of many waters and (L)like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty (M)reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult
    and give him the glory,
for (N)the marriage of the Lamb has come,
    and (O)his Bride has made herself ready;
(P)it was granted her to clothe herself
    with fine linen, bright and pure”—

for the fine linen is (Q)the righteous deeds of the saints.

And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: (R)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, (S)“These are the true words of God.” 10 Then (T)I fell down at his feet to worship him, (U)but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to (V)the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The Rider on a White Horse

11 Then I saw (W)heaven opened, and behold, (X)a white horse! The one sitting on it is called (Y)Faithful and True, and (Z)in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 (AA)His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are (AB)many diadems, and he has (AC)a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in (AD)a robe dipped in[b] blood, and the name by which he is called is (AE)The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, (AF)arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, (AG)were following him on white horses. 15 (AH)From his mouth comes a sharp sword (AI)with which to strike down the nations, and (AJ)he will rule[c] them with a rod of iron. (AK)He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh (AL)he has a name written, (AM)King of kings and Lord of lords.

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to (AN)all the birds that fly directly overhead, (AO)“Come, gather for (AP)the great supper of God, 18 (AQ)to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,[d] both small and great.” 19 And I saw (AR)the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies (AS)gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it (AT)the false prophet (AU)who in its presence[e] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who (AV)worshiped its image. These two were (AW)thrown alive into the lake of (AX)fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword (AY)that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and (AZ)all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

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.
