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.

Christ on a White Horse

11 (A)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, (B)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called (C)Faithful and True, and (D)in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 (E)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (F)He [a]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 (G)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (H)The Word of God. 14 (I)And the armies in heaven, (J)clothed in [b]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now (K)out of His mouth goes a [c]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And (L)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. (M)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And (N)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

(O)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, (P)“Come and gather together for the [d]supper of the great God, 18 (Q)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, [e]free and slave, both small and great.”

19 (R)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 (S)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 (T)those who worshiped his image. (U)These two were cast alive into the lake of fire (V)burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest (W)were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. (X)And all the birds (Y)were filled with their flesh.

El jinete del caballo blanco

11 Entonces vi que el cielo se había abierto,(A) y que allí aparecía un caballo blanco. El nombre del que lo montaba es Fiel y Verdadero, el que juzga y pelea con justicia. 12 Sus ojos parecían dos llamas de fuego,(B) y en su cabeza había muchas diademas, y tenía inscrito un nombre que sólo él conocía. 13 La ropa que vestía estaba teñida de sangre, y su nombre es: «El verbo de Dios.» 14 Iba seguido de los ejércitos celestiales, que montaban caballos blancos y vestían lino finísimo, blanco y limpio. 15 De su boca salía una espada afilada, para herir con ella a las naciones. Él las gobernará con cetro de hierro;(C) y pisará el lagar del ardiente vino de la ira del Dios Todopoderoso.(D) 16 En su manto y en su muslo lleva inscrito este nombre: «Rey de reyes y Señor de señores.»

17 Vi entonces que un ángel estaba de pie en el sol, y que con voz potente les decía a todas las aves que surcan los cielos: «Vengan ya; júntense para la gran cena de Dios, 18 para que devoren los cadáveres de reyes, capitanes y poderosos; los cadáveres de caballos y de jinetes, ¡los cadáveres de todos, libres y esclavos, pequeños y grandes!»(E) 19 Vi entonces que la bestia y los reyes de la tierra y sus ejércitos se reunían para luchar contra el que montaba el caballo, y contra su ejército. 20 Pero la bestia fue apresada, y también el falso profeta que había hecho señales milagrosas delante de ella, con las que había engañado a los que recibieron la marca de la bestia y habían adorado su imagen.(F) Estos dos fueron lanzados vivos a un lago de fuego que arde con azufre. 21 Los demás fueron muertos con la espada que salía de la boca del que montaba el caballo, y todas las aves se saciaron devorando sus cadáveres.
