Heaven Exults over Babylon

19 After these things (A)I [a]heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! (B)Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to [b]the Lord our God! For (C)true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He (D)has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia! (E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” And (F)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, (G)“Amen! Alleluia!” Then a voice came from the throne, saying, (H)“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, (I)both[c] small and great!”

(J)And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For (K)the[d] Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for (L)the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And (M)to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, (N)for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write: (O)‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, (P)“These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And (Q)I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, (R)“See that you do not do that! I am your (S)fellow servant, and of your brethren (T)who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the (U)testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Christ on a White Horse

11 (V)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, (W)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called (X)Faithful and True, and (Y)in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 (Z)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (AA)He [e]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 (AB)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (AC)The Word of God. 14 (AD)And the armies in heaven, (AE)clothed in [f]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now (AF)out of His mouth goes a [g]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And (AG)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. (AH)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And (AI)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

(AJ)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, (AK)“Come and gather together for the [h]supper of the great God, 18 (AL)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, [i]free and slave, both small and great.”

19 (AM)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 (AN)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 (AO)those who worshiped his image. (AP)These two were cast alive into the lake of fire (AQ)burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest (AR)were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. (AS)And all the birds (AT)were filled with their flesh.

19 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay narinig ko ang gaya ng isang malaking tinig ng isang makapal na karamihan sa langit, na nagsasabi, Aleluya; Kaligtasan, at kaluwalhatian, at kapangyarihan, ay nauukol sa ating Dios:

Sapagka't tunay at matuwid ang kaniyang mga paghatol; sapagka't hinatulan niya ang bantog na patutot, na siyang nagpasama sa lupa ng kaniyang pakikiapid, at iginanti niya ang dugo ng kaniyang mga alipin sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kamay.

At sila'y muling nangagsabi, Aleluya. At ang usok niya ay napaiilanglang magpakailan kailan man.

At nangagpatirapa ang dalawangpu't apat na matatanda at ang apat na nilalang na buhay, at nangagsisamba sa Dios na nakaupo sa luklukan, na nangagsasabi, Siya nawa; Aleluya.

At lumabas ang isang tinig sa luklukan, na nagsasabi, Purihin ninyo ang ating Dios, ninyong lahat na mga lingkod niya, ninyong lahat na mga natatakot sa kaniya, maliliit at malalaki.

At narinig ko ang gaya ng isang tinig ng isang makapal na karamihan, at gaya ng lagaslas ng maraming tubig, at gaya ng ugong ng malalakas na kulog na nagsasabi, Aleluya: sapagka't naghahari ang Panginoong ating Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat.

Tayo'y mangagalak at tayo'y mangagsayang mainam, at siya'y ating luwalhatiin; sapagka't dumating ang pagkakasal ng Cordero, at ang kaniyang asawa ay nahahanda na.

At sa kaniya'y ipinagkaloob na damtan ang kaniyang sarili ng mahalagang lino, makintab at tunay; sapagka't ang mahalagang lino ay siyang mga matuwid na gawa ng mga banal.

At sinasabi niya sa akin, Isulat mo, Mapapalad ang mga inanyayahan sa paghapon sa kasalan ng Cordero. At sinasabi niya sa akin, Ang mga ito'y siyang tunay na mga salita ng Dios.

10 At ako'y nagpatirapa sa kaniyang paanan upang siya'y aking sambahin. At sinasabi niya sa akin, Ingatan mong huwag gawin iyan: ako'y kapuwa mo alipin at ng iyong mga kapatid na mayroong patotoo ni Jesus: sumamba ka sa Dios: sapagka't ang patotoo ni Jesus ay siyang espiritu ng hula.

11 At nakita kong bukas ang langit; at narito, ang isang kabayong maputi, at yaong nakasakay dito ay tinatawag na Tapat at Totoo; at sa katuwiran siya'y humahatol at nakikipagbaka.

12 At ang kaniyang mga mata ay ningas ng apoy, at sa kaniyang ulo ay maraming diadema; at siya'y may isang pangalang nakasulat, na sinoman ay di nakaaalam kundi siya rin.

13 At siya'y nararamtan ng damit na winisikan ng dugo: at ang kaniyang pangalan ay tinatawag na Ang Verbo ng Dios.

14 At ang mga hukbong nasa langit ay sumusunod sa kaniya na mga nakasakay sa mga kabayong puti, at nangararamtan ng mahalagang linong maputi at dalisay.

15 At sa kaniyang bibig ay lumalabas ang isang tabak na matalas, upang sa pamamagitan nito'y sugatan niya ang mga bansa: at kaniyang paghaharian ng tungkod na bakal: at niyuyurakan niya ang pisaan ng ubas ng kabangisan ng kagalitan ng Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat.

16 At siya'y mayroong isang pangalang nakasulat sa kaniyang damit at sa kaniyang hita, HARI NG MGA HARI AT PANGINOON NG MGA PANGINOON.

17 At nakita kong nakatayo ang isang anghel sa araw; na siya'y sumisigaw ng malakas na tinig, na nagsasabi sa lahat ng mga ibong lumilipad sa gitna ng himpapawid, Halikayo at mangagkatipon sa dakilang hapunan ng Dios;

18 Upang kayo'y makakain ng laman ng mga hari, at ng laman ng mga pangulong kapitan, at ng laman ng mga taong makapangyarihan, at ng laman ng mga kabayo at ng mga nakasakay dito, at ng laman ng lahat ng mga taong laya at mga alipin man, at maliliit at malalaki.

19 At nakita ko ang hayop, at ang mga hari sa lupa, at ang kanilang mga hukbo, na nangagkakatipon upang makipagbaka laban doon sa nakasakay sa kabayo, at laban sa kaniyang hukbo.

20 At sinunggaban ang hayop, at kasama niya ang bulaang propeta na gumawa ng mga tanda sa harapan nito, na siyang ipinangdaya sa mga nagsitanggap ng tanda ng hayop at sa mga sumamba sa larawan nito: ang dalawang ito ay inihagis na buhay sa dagatdagatang apoy na nagliliyab sa asupre:

21 At ang mga iba ay pinatay sa tabak na lumalabas sa bibig niyaong nakasakay sa kabayo, at ang lahat ng mga ibon ay nangabusog ng mga laman nila.

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.

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and behold, [a]a (A)Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him (B)one hundred and forty-four thousand, [b]having His Father’s name (C)written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, (D)like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of (E)harpists playing their harps. They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song (F)except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who were not defiled with women, (G)for they are virgins. These are the ones (H)who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These (I)were [c]redeemed from among men, (J)being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. And (K)in their mouth was found no [d]deceit, for (L)they are without fault [e]before the throne of God.

The Proclamations of Three Angels

Then I saw another angel (M)flying in the midst of heaven, (N)having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—(O)to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, (P)“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; (Q)and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

And another angel followed, saying, (R)“Babylon[f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because (S)she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, (T)“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his (U)mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself (V)shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is (W)poured out full strength into (X)the cup of His indignation. (Y)He shall be tormented with (Z)fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And (AA)the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

12 (AB)Here is the [g]patience of the saints; (AC)here[h] are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying [i]to me, “Write: (AD)‘Blessed are the dead (AE)who die in the Lord from now on.’ ”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, (AF)“that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow (AG)them.”

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel (AH)came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, (AI)“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come [j]for You to reap, for the harvest (AJ)of the earth is ripe.” 16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Reaping the Grapes of Wrath

17 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out from the altar, (AK)who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, (AL)“Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into (AM)the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And (AN)the winepress was trampled (AO)outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, (AP)up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred [k]furlongs.

14 At tumingin ako, at narito, ang Cordero ay nakatayo sa bundok ng Sion, at ang kasama niya'y isang daan at apat na pu't apat na libong may pangalan niya, at pangalan ng kaniyang Ama, na nasusulat sa kanikaniyang noo.

At narinig ko ang isang tinig na mula sa langit, na gaya ng lagaslas ng maraming tubig, at gaya ng ugong ng malakas na kulog: at ang tinig na aking narinig ay gaya ng sa mga manunugtog ng alpa na tumutugtog ng kanilang mga alpa:

At sila'y nangagaawitan na wari'y isang bagong awit sa harapan ng luklukan, at sa harap ng apat na nilalang na buhay at ng matatanda: at sinoman ay hindi maaaring matuto ng awit kundi ang isang daan at apat na pu't apat na libo lamang, sa makatuwid ay siyang mga binili mula sa lupa.

Ang mga ito'y ang hindi nangahawa sa mga babae; sapagka't sila'y mga malilinis. At ang mga ito'y ang nagsisisunod sa Cordero saan man siya pumaroon. Ang mga ito'y ang binili sa gitna ng mga tao, na maging mga pangunahing bunga sa Dios at sa Cordero.

At sa kanikaniyang bibig ay walang nasumpungang kasinungalingan: sila'y mga walang dungis.

At nakita ko ang ibang anghel na lumilipad sa gitna ng langit, na may mabuting balita na walang hanggan upang ibalita sa mga nananahan sa lupa, at sa bawa't bansa at angkan at wika at bayan;

At sinasabi niya ng malakas na tinig, Matakot kayo sa Dios, at magbigay kaluwalhatian sa kaniya; sapagka't dumating ang panahon ng kaniyang paghatol: at magsisamba kayo sa gumawa ng langit at ng lupa at ng dagat at ng mga bukal ng tubig.

At ang iba, ang pangalawang anghel, ay sumunod na nagsasabi, Naguho, naguho ang dakilang Babilonia, na siyang nagpainom sa lahat na bansa ng alak ng kagalitan ng kaniyang pakikiapid.

At ang ibang anghel, ang pangatlo, ay sumunod sa kanila, na nagsasabi ng malakas na tinig, Kung ang sinoman ay sumasamba sa hayop at sa kaniyang larawan, at tumatanggap ng tanda sa kaniyang noo, o sa kaniyang kamay,

10 Ay iinom din naman siya ng alak ng kagalitan ng Dios, na nahahandang walang halo sa inuman ng kaniyang kagalitan; at siya'y pahihirapan ng apoy at asupre sa harapan ng mga banal na anghel, at sa harapan ng Cordero:

11 At ang usok ng hirap nila ay napaiilanglang magpakailan kailan man; at sila'y walang kapahingahan araw at gabi, silang mga nagsisisamba sa hayop at sa kaniyang larawan, at sinomang tumatanggap ng tanda ng kaniyang pangalan.

12 Narito ang pagtitiyaga ng mga banal, ng mga nagsisitupad ng mga utos ng Dios, at ng pananampalataya kay Jesus.

13 At narinig ko ang isang tinig na mula sa langit na nagsasabi, Isulat mo, Mapapalad ang mga patay na nangamamatay sa Panginoon mula ngayon: oo, sinasabi ng Espiritu, upang sila'y mangagpahinga sa kanilang mga gawa; sapagka't ang kanilang mga gawa ay sumusunod sa kanila.

14 At nakita ko, at narito, ang isang alapaap na maputi; at nakita ko na nakaupo sa alapaap ang isang katulad ng isang anak ng tao, na sa kaniyang ulo'y may isang putong na ginto, at sa kaniyang kamay ay may isang panggapas na matalas.

15 At lumabas ang ibang anghel sa templo, na sumisigaw ng malakas na tinig doon sa nakaupo sa alapaap, Ihulog mo ang iyong panggapas, at gumapas ka; sapagka't dumating ang oras ng paggapas, sapagka't ang aanihin sa lupa ay hinog na.

16 At inihagis ng nakaupo sa alapaap ang kaniyang panggapas sa lupa; at ang lupa ay nagapasan.

17 At lumabas ang ibang anghel sa templong nasa langit, na may panggapas din namang matalas.

18 At ang ibang anghel ay lumabas sa dambana, na siyang may kapangyarihan sa apoy, at tinawagan ng malakas na tinig yaong may panggapas na matalas, na sinasabi, Ihulog mo ang iyong panggapas na matalas, at putihin mo ang mga buwig sa ubasan sa lupa; sapagka't ang kaniyang mga ubas ay mga hinog na.

19 At inihagis ng anghel ang kaniyang panggapas sa lupa, at pinuti ang mga ubas sa lupa, at inihagis sa pisaan ng ubas, sa malaking pisaan ng kagalitan ng Dios.

20 At nayurakan ang pisaan ng ubas sa labas ng bayan, at lumabas sa pisaan ng ubas ang dugo, na umapaw hanggang sa mga preno ng mga kabayo, sa lawak na isang libo at anim na raang estadio.

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,(A) standing on Mount Zion,(B) and with him 144,000(C) who had his name and his Father’s name(D) written on their foreheads.(E) And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters(F) and like a loud peal of thunder.(G) The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.(H) And they sang a new song(I) before the throne and before the four living creatures(J) and the elders.(K) No one could learn the song except the 144,000(L) who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.(M) They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.(N) They were purchased from among mankind(O) and offered as firstfruits(P) to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths;(Q) they are blameless.(R)

The Three Angels

Then I saw another angel flying in midair,(S) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth(T)—to every nation, tribe, language and people.(U) He said in a loud voice, “Fear God(V) and give him glory,(W) because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made(X) the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”(Y)

A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’[a](Z) which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”(AA)

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast(AB) and its image(AC) and receives its mark on their forehead(AD) or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,(AE) which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.(AF) They will be tormented with burning sulfur(AG) in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.(AH) There will be no rest day or night(AI) for those who worship the beast and its image,(AJ) or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”(AK) 12 This calls for patient endurance(AL) on the part of the people of God(AM) who keep his commands(AN) and remain faithful to Jesus.

13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord(AO) from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit,(AP) “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress

14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud,(AQ) and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[b](AR) with a crown(AS) of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple(AT) and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle(AU) and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest(AV) of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(AW) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(AX) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(AY) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(AZ) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(BA) outside the city,(BB) and blood(BC) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[c]

Heaven Exults over Babylon

19 After these things (A)I [a]heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! (B)Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to [b]the Lord our God! For (C)true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He (D)has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia! (E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” And (F)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, (G)“Amen! Alleluia!” Then a voice came from the throne, saying, (H)“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, (I)both[c] small and great!”

(J)And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For (K)the[d] Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for (L)the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And (M)to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, (N)for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write: (O)‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, (P)“These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And (Q)I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, (R)“See that you do not do that! I am your (S)fellow servant, and of your brethren (T)who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the (U)testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Christ on a White Horse

11 (V)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, (W)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called (X)Faithful and True, and (Y)in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 (Z)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (AA)He [e]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 (AB)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (AC)The Word of God. 14 (AD)And the armies in heaven, (AE)clothed in [f]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now (AF)out of His mouth goes a [g]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And (AG)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. (AH)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And (AI)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

(AJ)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, (AK)“Come and gather together for the [h]supper of the great God, 18 (AL)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, [i]free and slave, both small and great.”

19 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay narinig ko ang gaya ng isang malaking tinig ng isang makapal na karamihan sa langit, na nagsasabi, Aleluya; Kaligtasan, at kaluwalhatian, at kapangyarihan, ay nauukol sa ating Dios:

Sapagka't tunay at matuwid ang kaniyang mga paghatol; sapagka't hinatulan niya ang bantog na patutot, na siyang nagpasama sa lupa ng kaniyang pakikiapid, at iginanti niya ang dugo ng kaniyang mga alipin sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kamay.

At sila'y muling nangagsabi, Aleluya. At ang usok niya ay napaiilanglang magpakailan kailan man.

At nangagpatirapa ang dalawangpu't apat na matatanda at ang apat na nilalang na buhay, at nangagsisamba sa Dios na nakaupo sa luklukan, na nangagsasabi, Siya nawa; Aleluya.

At lumabas ang isang tinig sa luklukan, na nagsasabi, Purihin ninyo ang ating Dios, ninyong lahat na mga lingkod niya, ninyong lahat na mga natatakot sa kaniya, maliliit at malalaki.

At narinig ko ang gaya ng isang tinig ng isang makapal na karamihan, at gaya ng lagaslas ng maraming tubig, at gaya ng ugong ng malalakas na kulog na nagsasabi, Aleluya: sapagka't naghahari ang Panginoong ating Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat.

Tayo'y mangagalak at tayo'y mangagsayang mainam, at siya'y ating luwalhatiin; sapagka't dumating ang pagkakasal ng Cordero, at ang kaniyang asawa ay nahahanda na.

At sa kaniya'y ipinagkaloob na damtan ang kaniyang sarili ng mahalagang lino, makintab at tunay; sapagka't ang mahalagang lino ay siyang mga matuwid na gawa ng mga banal.

At sinasabi niya sa akin, Isulat mo, Mapapalad ang mga inanyayahan sa paghapon sa kasalan ng Cordero. At sinasabi niya sa akin, Ang mga ito'y siyang tunay na mga salita ng Dios.

10 At ako'y nagpatirapa sa kaniyang paanan upang siya'y aking sambahin. At sinasabi niya sa akin, Ingatan mong huwag gawin iyan: ako'y kapuwa mo alipin at ng iyong mga kapatid na mayroong patotoo ni Jesus: sumamba ka sa Dios: sapagka't ang patotoo ni Jesus ay siyang espiritu ng hula.

11 At nakita kong bukas ang langit; at narito, ang isang kabayong maputi, at yaong nakasakay dito ay tinatawag na Tapat at Totoo; at sa katuwiran siya'y humahatol at nakikipagbaka.

12 At ang kaniyang mga mata ay ningas ng apoy, at sa kaniyang ulo ay maraming diadema; at siya'y may isang pangalang nakasulat, na sinoman ay di nakaaalam kundi siya rin.

13 At siya'y nararamtan ng damit na winisikan ng dugo: at ang kaniyang pangalan ay tinatawag na Ang Verbo ng Dios.

14 At ang mga hukbong nasa langit ay sumusunod sa kaniya na mga nakasakay sa mga kabayong puti, at nangararamtan ng mahalagang linong maputi at dalisay.

15 At sa kaniyang bibig ay lumalabas ang isang tabak na matalas, upang sa pamamagitan nito'y sugatan niya ang mga bansa: at kaniyang paghaharian ng tungkod na bakal: at niyuyurakan niya ang pisaan ng ubas ng kabangisan ng kagalitan ng Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat.

16 At siya'y mayroong isang pangalang nakasulat sa kaniyang damit at sa kaniyang hita, HARI NG MGA HARI AT PANGINOON NG MGA PANGINOON.

17 At nakita kong nakatayo ang isang anghel sa araw; na siya'y sumisigaw ng malakas na tinig, na nagsasabi sa lahat ng mga ibong lumilipad sa gitna ng himpapawid, Halikayo at mangagkatipon sa dakilang hapunan ng Dios;

18 Upang kayo'y makakain ng laman ng mga hari, at ng laman ng mga pangulong kapitan, at ng laman ng mga taong makapangyarihan, at ng laman ng mga kabayo at ng mga nakasakay dito, at ng laman ng lahat ng mga taong laya at mga alipin man, at maliliit at malalaki.

19 At nakita ko ang hayop, at ang mga hari sa lupa, at ang kanilang mga hukbo, na nangagkakatipon upang makipagbaka laban doon sa nakasakay sa kabayo, at laban sa kaniyang hukbo.

20 At sinunggaban ang hayop, at kasama niya ang bulaang propeta na gumawa ng mga tanda sa harapan nito, na siyang ipinangdaya sa mga nagsitanggap ng tanda ng hayop at sa mga sumamba sa larawan nito: ang dalawang ito ay inihagis na buhay sa dagatdagatang apoy na nagliliyab sa asupre:

21 At ang mga iba ay pinatay sa tabak na lumalabas sa bibig niyaong nakasakay sa kabayo, at ang lahat ng mga ibon ay nangabusog ng mga laman nila.

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.

  1. Revelation 19:15 Psalm 2:9

Heaven Exults over Babylon

19 After these things (A)I [a]heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! (B)Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to [b]the Lord our God! For (C)true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He (D)has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia! (E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” And (F)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, (G)“Amen! Alleluia!” Then a voice came from the throne, saying, (H)“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, (I)both[c] small and great!”

(J)And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For (K)the[d] Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for (L)the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And (M)to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, (N)for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write: (O)‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, (P)“These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And (Q)I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, (R)“See that you do not do that! I am your (S)fellow servant, and of your brethren (T)who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the (U)testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Christ on a White Horse

11 (V)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, (W)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called (X)Faithful and True, and (Y)in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 (Z)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (AA)He [e]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 (AB)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (AC)The Word of God. 14 (AD)And the armies in heaven, (AE)clothed in [f]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now (AF)out of His mouth goes a [g]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And (AG)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. (AH)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And (AI)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

(AJ)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, (AK)“Come and gather together for the [h]supper of the great God, 18 (AL)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, [i]free and slave, both small and great.”

19 (AM)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 (AN)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 (AO)those who worshiped his image. (AP)These two were cast alive into the lake of fire (AQ)burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest (AR)were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. (AS)And all the birds (AT)were filled with their flesh.
