The Rider on a White Horse

¹¹ Then I saw ^(A)heaven opened, and behold, ^(B)a white horse! The one sitting on it is called ^(C)Faithful and True, and ^(D)in righteousness he judges and makes war. ^12 (E)His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are ^(F)many diadems, and he has ^(G)a name written that no one knows but himself. ¹³ He is clothed in ^(H)a robe dipped in^[a] blood, and the name by which he is called is ^(I)The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies of heaven, ^(J)arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, ^(K)were following him on white horses. ^15 (L)From his mouth comes a sharp sword ^(M)with which to strike down the nations, and ^(N)he will rule^[b] them with a rod of iron. ^(O)He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. ¹⁶ On his robe and on his thigh ^(P)he has a name written, ^(Q)King of kings and Lord of lords.

¹⁷ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to ^(R)all the birds that fly directly overhead, ^(S)“Come, gather for ^(T)the great supper of God, ^18 (U)to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,^[c] both small and great.” ¹⁹ And I saw ^(V)the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies ^(W)gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. ²⁰ And the beast was captured, and with it ^(X)the false prophet ^(Y)who in its presence^[d] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who ^(Z)worshiped its image. These two were ^(AA)thrown alive into the lake of ^(AB)fire that burns with sulfur. ²¹ And the rest were slain by the sword ^(AC)that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and ^(AD)all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

The Defeat of Satan

⁷ And when the thousand years are ended, ^(A)Satan will be released from his prison ⁸ and will come out ^(B)to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, ^(C)Gog and Magog, ^(D)to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. ⁹ And ^(E)they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded ^(F)the camp of the saints and ^(G)the beloved city, but ^(H)fire came down from heaven^[a] and consumed them, ¹⁰ and the devil ^(I)who had deceived them was ^(J)thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where ^(K)the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence ^(L)earth and sky fled away, and ^(M)no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and ^(N)books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is ^(O)the book of life. And ^(P)the dead were judged by what was written in the books, ^(Q)according to what they had done. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^(R)Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, ^(S)according to what they had done. ¹⁴ Then ^(T)Death and Hades ^(U)were thrown into the lake of fire. This is ^(V)the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, ^(W)he was thrown into the lake of fire.
