⁹ And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book And to open its seals; For thou wast slain and didst ransom for God Men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation; ¹⁰ Thou hast made them kings and priests unto our God, And they shall reign on earth." ¹¹ Then I looked and heard a voice of many angels encircling the throne and a voice of the Living Creatures and of the Elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, ¹² singing aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain, To receive power and riches and wisdom And might and honor and glory and blessing." ¹³ And I heard every created thing that is in heaven, or on earth, or beneath the earth, or on the sea, and all things that are in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, Be the blessing and the honor, And the glory and the power, Forever and ever!"

She is fallen, Babylon the great! Now she is a dwelling-place of demons, A stronghold of every foul spirit, A stronghold of every foul and hateful bird. ³ For all nations, having drunk the wine of the frenzy of her fornication, are fallen; And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, And the merchants of the earth have grown rich by the power of her wantonness." ⁴ And behold I heard another voice from heaven saying. "Come out of her, that you have no fellowship with her sins, And that you receive not her plagues. ⁵ For her sins have been heaped to heaven, And God has remembered her iniquities. ⁶ Render to her what she rendered; Yes, pay double what her deeds deserve. In the cup she mixed, mix double for her. ⁷ By so much as she glorified herself and waxed wanton, By so much give her of torture and tears, For she says in her heart, 'I sit here a queen, I am no widow. I shall in no wise see mourning.' ⁸ Therefore in one day shall these plagues come upon her, Death and mourning and famine, And she shall be burnt with fire; For mighty is the Lord God, her judge. ⁹ And the kings of the earth who committed fornication And lived wantonly with her, Will weep and wail over her, When they behold the smoke of her burning, ¹⁰ Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city Babylon, the strong city! In one hour is your judgment come!' ¹¹ "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, For no one buys their merchandise any more— ¹² Merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones, Of pearls, and fine linen, and purple and silk and scarlet; All citron wood, and vessels of ivory, And vessels of rare wood and brass and iron and marble; ¹³ Cinnamon and balsam and spices and myrrh and frankincense; Wine and oil and fine flour and wheat; Cattle and sheep, and horses and chariots, And slaves, and the souls of men. ¹⁴ And the fruits which your soul lusted for are gone from you, And all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from you, And men shall find them nevermore. ¹⁵ "The traders in those things, who were enriched by her, shall stand afar off for fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, ¹⁶ saying. "'Woe, woe, the great city! She who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, And adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! ¹⁷ In one hour so great riches is made desolate!" And every shipmaster and every one who sails to any port, And sailors, and all seafaring folk, ¹⁸ Stood at a distance, and as they saw the smoke from the burning city, cried, "'What city can compare with the great city?' ¹⁹ And they threw dust on their heads, and cried out, Weeping and mourning, saying, "'Woe, woe, the great city, In which all who have ships on the sea Grew rich through her luxury! For in one hour she is made desolate!'" ²⁰ Rejoice over her, O Heaven! Rejoice, ye saints, apostles, prophets! For God has now avenged you. ²¹ Then a mighty angel lifted a boulder like a great millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon, the great city, be overthrown with a mighty fall, And shall be found no more at all. ²² No more shall the voice of harpers and minstrels, flute-players and trumpeters Be heard in you. No more shall any craftsman of any craft Be found at all in you. No more shall the sound of a millstone be heard at all in you. ²³ No light of a lamp shall ever shine in you again; And in you shall the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride be heard no more. For your merchants were the princes of the earth; And with your sorcery were all the nations deceived; ²⁴ And in you was found the blood of prophets and of saints, And of all who have been slain upon the earth."

³ And a second time they said: "Alleluia! For the smoke of her torment goes up forever and ever!" ⁴ Then the four and twenty Elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen, Hallelujah!"

³ They were singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying. "Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are thy ways, Thou King of kings!

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying. "Righteous art thou, thou who art and wast, The Holy One, Because thou didst inflict this judgment. ⁶ For men poured out the blood of thy saints and prophets, And thou hast given them blood to drink. And this they deserved." ⁷ And I heard the altar saying, "Yea, O Lord, the Almighty, True and righteous are thy judgments."

¹ And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and spoke to me, saying, "Come hither and I will show you the sentence passed upon the great harlot who sits on many waters, ² with whom the kings of the earth have committed adultery, while all who live on the earth have been made drunken by the wine of her immorality."

¹⁵ And he also said to me. "The waters which you saw, on which the harlot takes her seat, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot and make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her up with fire.

³ For all nations, having drunk the wine of the frenzy of her fornication, are fallen; And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, And the merchants of the earth have grown rich by the power of her wantonness."

⁹ And the kings of the earth who committed fornication And lived wantonly with her, Will weep and wail over her, When they behold the smoke of her burning, ¹⁰ Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city Babylon, the strong city! In one hour is your judgment come!'

²⁰ Rejoice over her, O Heaven! Rejoice, ye saints, apostles, prophets! For God has now avenged you.

⁷ So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the near-by cities which in like manner glutted themselves in sensuality and unnatural vice, are exhibited as a warning of the eternal fire, in the punishment they undergo.

¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; And they have no rest day or night, Who worship the beast and his image, And all who receive the brand of his name."

⁹ And the kings of the earth who committed fornication And lived wantonly with her, Will weep and wail over her, When they behold the smoke of her burning,

¹⁸ Stood at a distance, and as they saw the smoke from the burning city, cried, "'What city can compare with the great city?'

¹ After this I heard the semblance of the mighty voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying. "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power Unto the Lord our God!

¹⁸ The nations raged, and thy wrath came, And the time for the dead to be judged; The time for rewarding thy slaves, the prophets And the saints, and those who reverence thy name, Both small and great; And the time to destroy those who are destroying the earth." ¹⁹ Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen inside his sanctuary; and there followed lightnings and voices and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

¹⁷ And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came forth out of the temple from the throne, saying, "It is finished!"

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and books were opened, and another book—the Book of Life—was opened; and the dead were judged according to their deeds, by what was written in the books.

¹ "Then will the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride. ² And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. ³ The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them; ⁴ but the wise took oil in their flasks with their lamps. ⁵ Now because the bridegroom tarried, they all fell to nodding and went on sleeping. ⁶ But at midnight there arose a cry, "'Behold, the bridegroom!

³⁶ "and be yourselves like men who are looking for the Lord, on his return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they may at once open the door for him.

²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So then this joy of mine has now complete fulfilment.

¹⁷ And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went away to make war upon the rest of her children who keep the commandments of God, and hold fast the testimony of Jesus. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.

⁷ And he cried with a loud voice. "Fear God and give him glory, Because the hour of his judgment is come. And worship Him who made the heavens and the earth And the sea and springs of waters."

⁸ And I, John, am he who heard and saw these things. And after I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me. ⁹ But he said to me. "See thou do it not. I am only a fellow slave with you and your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this Book. "WORSHIP GOD!"

⁶ Jesus answered him. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man ever comes to the Father but by me.

¹ It was this Melchizedek, King of Salem and Priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him; ² and it was to him that Abraham apportioned a tithe of all the spoil. He was first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and then King of Salem, that is, King of Peace;

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has loosed us from our sins in his own blood;

¹ After this, in my vision, I saw a door opened in heaven! And the first voice that I heard speaking with me was like a trumpet, saying, "Come up hither, and I will show you the things that must come to pass hereafter."

² And I saw, and lo, a white horse, and he who sat on him had a bow; and there was given him a crown; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

¹⁹ Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen inside his sanctuary; and there followed lightnings and voices and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

³ They were singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying. "Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are thy ways, Thou King of kings! ⁴ Who shall not fear, O Lord, And glorify thy name? For thou only art holy. For all the nations shall come and worship before thee; For thy righteous acts have been made evident." ⁵ After that I looked, and the sanctuary of the tabernacle of testimony was opened in heaven; ⁶ and there came out of the sanctuary the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were clothed in white linen, pure and bright, and girt about the breasts with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four Living Creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

²⁷ "Everything has been handed over to me by my Father; neither does any one know the Son, except the Father, nor any one know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

⁵ Say to the daughter of Zion, "Behold thy King cometh to thee, Gentle and sitting upon an ass, And upon a colt, the fool of a beast of burden."

¹⁸ And Jesus came forward to them and spoke to them, saying. "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

²² "All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father; and who the Father is except the Son, and he the Son wishes to reveal him."

⁹ What we do see is Jesus, who was made for a time a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor, because of the suffering of death, in order that through God's grace he might taste death for every man.

¹⁴ His head and his hair were as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire,

¹⁷ He who has ears, let him listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him that overcomes I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knows, but he that receives it. ¹⁸ And to the angel of the Church in Thyatira, write. These are the words of the Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like burnished brass.

¹² He that overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out from it nevermore. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.

³ And another sign was seen in heaven; and lo, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems.

¹ Then I saw rising up out of the sea a beast who had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns he had ten diadems, and on his heads blasphemous titles.

¹⁶ And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was face to face with God, and the Word was God.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh and tented with us. And we gazed on his glory—glory as of the Father's only Son—full of grace and truth.

¹ It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.

⁷ For there are three who bear testimony, the Spirit, and the water,

²⁰ And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood gushed out of the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as two hundred miles.

⁵³ "Do you not suppose that I am able to appeal to my Father to furnish me at this very moment with twelve legions of angels?

³ His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.

⁷ and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

¹⁴ It was to these, too, that Enoch, the "seventh in descent from Adam," prophesied, saying, "Lo! the Lord is come with myriads of his saints,

⁴ Yet you have a few names in Sardis that have not defiled their garment; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

⁴ And round about the throne were four and twenty Elders seated, who were clothed in white raiment, with golden crowns upon their heads.

⁹ After this I looked, and behold a great multitude, whom no man could number, out of every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands;

¹ And I looked, and lo, there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with were a hundred and forty and four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.

¹⁴ These will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings. And they who are with him are called and faithful and chosen."

⁸ And it has been granted to her to array herself in fine linen, bright and pure; For the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints."

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and lo! a white horse; and he who sat upon him was named "Faithful and True"; and in righteousness does he judge and make war.

⁸ and then the lawless one will be revealed. Him the Lord will consume with the breath of his lips, and destroy with the brightness of his appearing;

¹⁶ In his right hand he held seven stars; and out of mouth went a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was as the sun shining in his strength.

¹⁶ Repent; if you do not I will very soon come to you, and will make war upon them with the sword of my mouth.

²⁷ And he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron, shattering them like earthen vessels (as I myself have received from my Father),

⁵ And she gave birth to a son, a man child, who is to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up unto God and unto his throne.

¹⁷ And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he, too, had a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another angel came from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle, And gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, For its grapes are fully ripe." ¹⁹ So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the clusters of the vine of the earth, and threw them into the winepress, the great winepress of the wrath of God. ²⁰ And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood gushed out of the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as two hundred miles.

²¹ And the rest were slain with the sword of him who sat on the horse, that sword which issued from his lips. And all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.

⁹ And for this God highly exalted him, and graciously bestowed upon him the name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee in heaven, on earth, and under the earth should bend, ¹¹ and every tongue confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord," to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁵ For in his own good time this will be brought about by that blessed and only potentate, King of kings and Lord of lords,

¹⁷ He who has ears, let him listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him that overcomes I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knows, but he that receives it.

¹² His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he has a name written, which none knows but himself. ¹³ He is clothed in a vesture dipped in blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD

¹³ And I looked and I heard a solitary eagle flying in mid-heaven, and crying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe for all who live on the earth, Because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts That the three angels are about to blow!"

⁶ Then I saw another angel who was flying in mid-heaven. He had an eternal evangel, to evangelize all the dwellers on the earth, of every nation and tribe and tongue and people.

²⁸ Wherever the corpse lies, there will the vultures flock together.

³⁷ "Where, Master?" they asked him. "Where the dead body is," he answered, "there will the vultures be gathered together."

¹⁵ and the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the generals, the rich and the mighty, both slaves and freemen, every one of them hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

¹⁶ And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows,

⁷ "And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that is coming up out of the bottomless pit will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

¹ Then I saw rising up out of the sea a beast who had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns he had ten diadems, and on his heads blasphemous titles. ² The beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were bear's feet, and his mouth a lion's mouth. The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. ³ And I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth was following the beast, wondering. ⁴ Men worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying. "Who is like the beast? Who can fight with him?" ⁵ And he was permitted to utter loud boasts and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty-two months. ⁶ So he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle (those who live in his tabernacle in heaven). ⁷ The beast was allowed to wage war upon the saints, and to conquer them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation; ⁸ and each one whose name has not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world. All who dwell on the earth shall worship him. ⁹ Let him who has ears to hear, listen. ¹⁰ Whoever is destined to go into captivity, goes into captivity. Whoever shall kill with the sword, shall surely be killed by the sword. (Here is the endurance and faith of the saints.)

⁹ And another angel, a third, followed them, crying with a mighty voice. "Whoever worships the beast and his image, And receives a brand on his forehead or on his hand,

¹⁴ For these are the spirits of demons performing miracles, who go forth to the kings of the habitable earth, to gather them together for the battle of the great Day of God, the Almighty.

¹⁶ And the spirits gathered the kings together at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

¹² "The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received their kingdoms; but they have received authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. ¹³ These kings have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ These will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings. And they who are with him are called and faithful and chosen."

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and lo! a white horse; and he who sat upon him was named "Faithful and True"; and in righteousness does he judge and make war. ¹² His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he has a name written, which none knows but himself. ¹³ He is clothed in a vesture dipped in blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD ¹⁴ And the armies of heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.

⁸ and then the lawless one will be revealed. Him the Lord will consume with the breath of his lips, and destroy with the brightness of his appearing; ⁹ even he whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, in every power and sign and lying wonder, ¹⁰ and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their salvation. ¹¹ For this reason God is sending on them an energy of delusion, that they should put faith in a falsehood;

¹ Then I saw rising up out of the sea a beast who had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns he had ten diadems, and on his heads blasphemous titles. ² The beast I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were bear's feet, and his mouth a lion's mouth. The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. ³ And I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth was following the beast, wondering. ⁴ Men worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying. "Who is like the beast? Who can fight with him?" ⁵ And he was permitted to utter loud boasts and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty-two months. ⁶ So he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle (those who live in his tabernacle in heaven). ⁷ The beast was allowed to wage war upon the saints, and to conquer them; and there was given him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation; ⁸ and each one whose name has not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world. All who dwell on the earth shall worship him.

¹¹ And I saw another beast ascending from the land; and he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon; ¹² and he exerts the full authority of the first beast before him, and he makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast whose death-stroke was healed. ¹³ And he performs great miracles, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from the sky, before men's eyes. ¹⁴ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, because of the miracles, which he is permitted to perform in the sight of the beast. He tells those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the sword-stroke, yet lived. ¹⁵ And he was permitted to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak; and so that any one who would not worship the image of the beast should be put to death. ¹⁶ And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows, ¹⁷ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the brand of the beast, or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.

¹⁰ He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, Poured out unmixed in the cup of his anger; And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone In the presence of the holy angels, And in the presence of the Lamb,

¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, coming out of the dragon's mouth, and the beast's mouth, and the false prophet's mouth. ¹⁴ For these are the spirits of demons performing miracles, who go forth to the kings of the habitable earth, to gather them together for the battle of the great Day of God, the Almighty.

³ And he bore me away in the Spirit into the desert, and I saw a woman who sat upon a scarlet beast covered with blasphemous names. It had seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ The woman was enwrapped in purple and scarlet and was encrusted with gold and precious stones and pearls. In her hand she held a golden cup filled with abominations, even the impurities of her immorality. ⁵ Upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINABLE THINGS OF THE EARTH." ⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, and I wondered with a great wonder. ⁷ And the angel said to me. "Why did you wonder? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns, that carried her. ⁸ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the bottomless pit, and to go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth shall wonder, those whose names have never, from the foundation of the world, been written in the Lamb's Book of Life, when they gaze on the beast; how he was and is not, and is to come.

¹² "The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received their kingdoms; but they have received authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war on him who sat on the horse and on his army.

¹⁰ and the devil who had been deceiving them was hurled into the lake of fire and brimstone, where lie also the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tortured day and night, forever and ever.

¹⁴ And all were judged according to their deeds. And Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any one was found who was not written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.

⁸ But as for the cowards, the faithless, the abominable, And for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, Idolaters, and all liars, Their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. "This is the second death."

¹⁵ Without are the dogs, the sorcerers, the immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and all who live and make a lie.

¹⁶ And the ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot and make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her up with fire.

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and lo! a white horse; and he who sat upon him was named "Faithful and True"; and in righteousness does he judge and make war. ¹² His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he has a name written, which none knows but himself. ¹³ He is clothed in a vesture dipped in blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD ¹⁴ And the armies of heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. ¹⁵ And there issues from his lips a sharp sword with which to smite the nations. He shall shepherd them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the passion of the anger of Almighty God.

¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who shouted in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God, ¹⁸ to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, bond and free, small and great." ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war on him who sat on the horse and on his army.
