Halleluja
19 Sedan hörde jag liksom en mäktig röst från en stor skara i himlen säga:
"Halleluja![a] Frälsningen och äran
och makten tillhör vår Gud,
2 ty sanna och rättfärdiga är hans domar.
Han har dömt den stora skökan som fördärvade jorden
med sin otukt, och han har utkrävt hämnd på henne
för sina tjänares blod."
3 Än en gång sade de: "Halleluja!" Och röken från henne stiger upp i evigheternas evigheter. 4 Och de tjugofyra äldste och de fyra väsendena föll ner och tillbad Gud som sitter på tronen. De sade: "Amen. Halleluja!" 5 Och från tronen kom det en röst som sade:
"Prisa vår Gud, alla hans tjänare, ni som fruktar honom,
både små och stora."
6 Och jag hörde liksom rösten från en stor skara, lik bruset av stora vatten och dånet av kraftig åska, och de sade:
"Halleluja! Herren vår Gud,
den Allsmäktige, har blivit konung.
7 Låt oss vara glada och jubla och ge honom äran.
Ty Lammets bröllop har kommit, och hans brud har gjort sig redo.
8 Åt henne har givits att klä sig i skinande, rent linnetyg."
Linnetyget är de heligas rättfärdighet.
9 Och ängeln sade till mig: "Skriv! Saliga är de som är bjudna till Lammets bröllopsmåltid." Och han tillade: "Dessa Guds ord är sanna." 10 Jag föll då ner för hans fötter för att tillbe honom, men han sade till mig: "Gör inte det! Jag är bara en medtjänare till dig och dina bröder, som har vittnesbördet om Jesus. Gud skall du tillbe. Ty Jesu vittnesbörd är profetians ande."
Ryttaren på den vita hästen
11 Och jag såg himlen öppen, och se: en vit häst, och han som satt på den heter Trofast och Sann, och han dömer och strider i rättfärdighet. 12 Hans ögon var som eldslågor, och på sitt huvud bar han många kronor. Han hade ett namn skrivet som ingen känner utom han själv. 13 Han var klädd i en mantel som hade doppats i blod, och det namn han har fått är "Guds Ord".[b] 14 De himmelska härarna följde honom på vita hästar, och de var klädda i vitt, rent linnetyg. 15 Och ut ur hans mun kom ett skarpt svärd, som han skall slå folken med, och han skall styra dem med järnspira, och han trampar Guds, den Allsmäktiges, stränga vredes vinpress. 16 Och på sin mantel och på sin höft har han ett namn skrivet: "Konungarnas Konung och herrarnas Herre."
17 Och jag såg en ängel stå i solen, och han ropade med hög röst till alla fåglar, som flyger högst uppe på himlen: "Kom och samlas till Guds stora måltid, 18 så skall ni få äta kött av kungar och härförare och mäktiga män, kött av hästar och deras ryttare och kött av alla människor, fria och slavar, små och stora." 19 Och jag såg vilddjuret och jordens kungar och deras härar samlade till strid mot ryttaren på hästen och mot hans här. 20 Och vilddjuret greps tillsammans med den falske profeten, som hade gjort tecken inför vilddjuret och genom dessa tecken vilselett dem som hade tagit emot vilddjurets märke och tillbett dess bild. Levande kastades de båda i eldsjön som brinner av svavel. 21 De andra dödades med ryttarens svärd, som går ut ur hans mun, och alla fåglarna åt sig mätta av deras kött.

Revelation 19
King James Version
19 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 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 thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth 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 winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both 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 on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Revelation 19
New International Version
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,
2 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)
3 And again they shouted:
4 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)
5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
6 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)
7 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.
8 Fine linen,(X) bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(Y) of God’s holy people.)
9 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.
