Revelation 19:11-16

New International Reader's Version

The Heavenly Warrior Has Victory Over the Beast

¹¹I saw heaven standing open. There in front of me was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True. When he judges or makes war, he is always fair. ¹²His eyes are like blazing fire. On his head are many crowns. A name is written on him that only he knows. ¹³He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood. His name is the Word of God. ¹⁴The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses. They were dressed in fine linen, white and clean. ¹⁵Coming out of the rider’s mouth is a sharp sword. He will strike down the nations with the sword. Scripture says, “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” (Psalm 2:9) He stomps on the grapes of God’s winepress. The winepress stands for the terrible anger of the God who rules over all. ¹⁶Here is the name that is written on the rider’s robe and on his thigh.

The Greatest King of All and the Most Powerful Lord of All
