12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the (A)great river, the Euphrates; and (B)its water was dried up, so that (C)the way would be prepared for the kings (D)from the [a]east.

Armageddon

13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the (E)dragon and out of the mouth of the (F)beast and out of the mouth of the (G)false prophet, three (H)unclean spirits like (I)frogs; 14 for they are (J)spirits of demons, (K)performing signs, which go out to the kings of the (L)whole [b]world, to (M)gather them together for the war of the (N)great day of God, the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (O)I am coming like a thief. (P)Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, (Q)so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”) 16 And they (R)gathered them together to the place which (S)in Hebrew is called [c](T)Har-Magedon.

The Coming of Christ

11 And I saw (A)heaven opened, and behold, a (B)white horse, and He who sat on it is called (C)Faithful and True, and in (D)righteousness He judges and wages war. 12 His (E)eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many (F)diadems; and He has a (G)name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 13 He is clothed with a (H)robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (I)The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in (J)fine linen, (K)white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15 (L)From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that (M)with it He may strike down the nations, and He will [a](N)rule them with a rod of iron; and (O)He treads the [b]wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has (P)a name written, “(Q)KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

17 Then I saw [c]an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to (R)all the birds which fly in (S)midheaven, “(T)Come, assemble for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may (U)eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of [d]commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, (V)both free men and slaves, and (W)small and great.”

19 And I saw (X)the beast and (Y)the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who (Z)sat on the horse and against His army.

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Foes

14 Behold, a (A)day is coming for the Lord when (B)the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. For I will (C)gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the (D)houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go forth and (E)fight against those nations, as [a]when He fights on a day of battle. In that day His feet will (F)stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be (G)split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.
