17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, shouting to the vultures flying high in the sky: “Come! Gather together for the great banquet God has prepared. 18 Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave, small and great.”

19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.

And the vultures all gorged themselves on the dead bodies.

These two were (J)thrown alive into the lake of (K)fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword (L)that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and (M)all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
