19 After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,

Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God: for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his [a]servants at her hand.

And a second time they [b]say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up [c]for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah. And a voice came forth from the throne, saying,

Give praise to our God, all ye his [d]servants, ye that fear him, the small and the great.

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying,

Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth. Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God. 10 And I fell down before his feet to [e]worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: [f]worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon [g]called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself. 13 And he is arrayed in a garment [h]sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. 15 And out of his mouth proceedeth 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 [i]winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

17 And I saw [j]an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God; 18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of [k]captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and 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 upon the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that [l]worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: 21 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

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

19 După aceea, am auzit(A) în cer ca un glas puternic de gloată multă, care zicea: „Aleluia! Ale Domnului, Dumnezeului nostru, sunt mântuirea(B), slava, cinstea şi puterea! Pentru că judecăţile Lui sunt adevărate(C) şi drepte. El a judecat pe curva cea mare, care strica pământul cu curvia ei, şi a răzbunat(D) sângele robilor Săi din mâna ei.” Şi au zis a doua oară: „Aleluia! Fumul(E) ei se ridică în sus în vecii vecilor!” Şi cei(F) douăzeci şi patru de bătrâni şi cele patru făpturi vii s-au aruncat la pământ şi s-au închinat lui Dumnezeu, care şedea pe scaunul de domnie. Şi au zis: „Amin!(G) Aleluia!” Şi din scaunul de domnie a ieşit un glas care zicea: „Lăudaţi(H) pe Dumnezeul nostru, toţi robii Lui, voi care vă temeţi de El, mici şi(I) mari!” Şi(J) am auzit ca un glas de gloată multă, ca vuietul unor ape multe, ca bubuitul unor tunete puternice, care zicea: „Aleluia! Domnul(K), Dumnezeul nostru Cel Atotputernic, a început să împărăţească. Să ne bucurăm, să ne veselim şi să-I dăm slavă! Căci a(L) venit nunta Mielului; soţia Lui s-a pregătit şi i s-a dat(M) să se îmbrace cu in subţire, strălucitor şi curat.” (Inul(N) subţire sunt faptele neprihănite ale sfinţilor.) Apoi mi-a zis: „Scrie: ‘Ferice(O) de cei chemaţi la ospăţul nunţii Mielului!’ Apoi mi-a zis: ‘Acestea(P) sunt adevăratele cuvinte ale lui Dumnezeu!’ ” 10 Şi m-am(Q) aruncat la picioarele lui ca să mă închin lui, dar el mi-a zis: „Fereşte-te(R) să faci una ca aceasta! Eu sunt un împreună-slujitor cu tine şi cu fraţii tăi care(S) păstrează mărturia lui Isus. Lui Dumnezeu închină-te!” (Căci mărturia lui Isus este duhul prorociei.) 11 Apoi(T) am văzut cerul deschis şi iată că s-a arătat un(U) cal alb! Cel ce sta pe el se cheamă „Cel credincios(V)” şi „Cel adevărat” şi El judecă(W) şi Se luptă cu dreptate. 12 Ochii(X) Lui erau ca para focului; capul(Y) îl avea încununat cu multe cununi împărăteşti şi(Z) purta un nume scris pe care nimeni nu-l ştie, decât numai El singur. 13 Era(AA) îmbrăcat cu o haină muiată în sânge. Numele Lui este: „Cuvântul(AB) lui Dumnezeu”. 14 Oştile(AC) din cer Îl urmau călare pe cai albi, îmbrăcate(AD) cu in subţire, alb şi curat. 15 Din gura(AE) Lui ieşea o sabie ascuţită, ca să lovească neamurile cu ea, pe care(AF) le va cârmui cu un toiag de fier. Şi(AG) va călca cu picioarele teascul vinului mâniei aprinse a atotputernicului Dumnezeu. 16 Pe haină şi pe coapsă avea(AH) scris numele acesta: „Împăratul(AI) împăraţilor şi Domnul domnilor”. 17 Apoi am văzut un înger, care stătea în picioare în soare. El a strigat cu glas tare şi a zis tuturor(AJ) păsărilor, care zburau prin mijlocul cerului: „Veniţi(AK), adunaţi-vă la ospăţul cel mare al lui Dumnezeu, 18 ca(AL) să mâncaţi carnea împăraţilor, carnea căpitanilor, carnea celor viteji, carnea cailor şi a călăreţilor şi carnea a tot felul de oameni, slobozi şi robi, mici şi mari!” 19 Şi(AM) am văzut fiara şi pe împăraţii pământului şi oştile lor, adunate ca să facă război cu Cel ce şedea călare pe cal şi cu oastea Lui. 20 Şi(AN) fiara a fost prinsă. Şi, împreună cu ea, a fost prins prorocul mincinos, care făcuse înaintea ei semnele cu care amăgise pe cei ce primiseră semnul fiarei şi(AO) se închinaseră icoanei ei. Amândoi aceştia(AP) au fost aruncaţi de vii în iazul de foc, care(AQ) arde cu pucioasă. 21 Iar ceilalţi au fost ucişi(AR) cu sabia, care ieşea din gura Celui ce şedea călare pe cal. Şi toate(AS) păsările s-au(AT) săturat din carnea lor.
