²⁰ And ^(A)the winepress was trampled ^(B)outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, ^(C)up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred ^[a]furlongs.

^14 (A)And the armies in heaven, ^(B)clothed in ^[a]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. ¹⁵ Now ^(C)out of His mouth goes a ^[b]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And ^(D)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. ^(E)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. ¹⁶ And ^(F)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

^(G)KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

The Beast and His Armies Defeated

¹⁷ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, ^(H)“Come and gather together for the ^[c]supper of the great God, ^18 (I)that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, ^[d]free and slave, both small and great.”

^19 (J)And 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 (K)Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and ^(L)those who worshiped his image. ^(M)These two were cast alive into the lake of fire ^(N)burning with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest ^(O)were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. ^(P)And all the birds ^(Q)were filled with their flesh.

⁸ And their dead bodies will lie in the street of ^(A)the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, ^(B)where also ^[a]our Lord was crucified.

¹¹ For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. ¹² Therefore Jesus also, that He might ^[a]sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

The Lord in Judgment and Salvation

A Triumphant Festival

¹⁷ “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ^(A)‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:

Israel Restored to the Land

^21 (I)“I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and ^(J)My hand which I have laid on them.
