Revelation 19

Celebration in Heaven

1After this I heard something like the loud voice of a vast multitude # 19:1 Rv 7:9 in heaven, saying,

Hallelujah! # 19:1 Ps 104:35; 106:1,48; 146:10; 148:14; 150:1

Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God, # 19:1 Jb 12:13; Dn 9:9; Rv 7:10

2because his judgments are true # 19:2 Valid; Jn 8:16; 19:35 and righteous, # 19:2 Jn 8:16; 19:35; Rv 15:3; 16:7

because he has judged the notorious prostitute # 19:2 Rv 17:1

who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;

and he has avenged the blood of his servants

that was on her hands. # 19:2 Dt 32:43; 2Kg 9:7; Rv 6:10; 16:6; 17:6; 18:24

3A second time they said,

Hallelujah!

Her smoke ascends forever and ever! # 19:3 Is 34:8–10; Rv 14:11

4Then the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, # 19:4 Rv 4:8–10; 5:6–14; 7:11; 11:16 who is seated on the throne, saying,

Amen! Hallelujah! # 19:4 Ps 106:48

5A voice came from the throne, saying,

Praise our God,

all his servants, and the ones who fear him,

both small and great! # 19:5 Dt 1:17; 2Ch 18:30; 34:30; Jb 3:19; Ps 115:13; Rv 11:18

6Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters, # 19:6 Ezk 1:24; 43:2; Rv 1:15; 14:2 and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying,

Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty,

reigns! # 19:6 Ex 15:18; Ps 93:1; 96:10; 97:1; 99:1; 146:10; Is 24:23; Lk 1:33; 1Co 15:25; Rv 11:15,17

7Let us be glad, rejoice, and give him glory, # 19:7 Mt 5:12; Rm 1:21; 4:20

because the marriage of the Lamb has come,

and his bride has prepared herself. # 19:7 Is 54:5–7; Hs 2:19; Mt 22:2–14; Eph 5:27,32; Rv 21:2

8She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure. # 19:8 Gn 41:42; Ezk 16:10,13; Mt 27:59; Lk 16:19; Rv 15:6; 19:14

For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints. # 19:8 Eph 2:10

9Then he # 19:9 Probably an angel; Rv 17:1; 22:8–9 said to me, # 19:9 Rv 17:1; 22:8–9 “Write: Blessed are those invited to the marriage feast # 19:9 Is 25:6–8; Lk 13:29 of the Lamb! ” He also said to me, “These words of God are true.” # 19:9 Rv 21:5; 22:6 10Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that! # 19:10 Ac 10:25; Rv 22:9 I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who hold firmly to the testimony of Jesus. # 19:10 Rv 1:2,9; 12:17; 20:4 Worship God, because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit # 19:10 Or the Spirit of prophecy.”

The Rider on a White Horse

11Then I saw heaven opened, # 19:11 Jn 1:51; Rv 4:1; 11:19; 15:5 and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True, # 19:11 Rv 3:14 and with justice he judges and makes war. # 19:11 Ps 9:8; 96:13; Rv 16:7; 19:2 12His eyes were like a fiery flame, # 19:12 Rv 1:14; 2:18 and many crowns # 19:12 Or diadems were on his head. # 19:12 Rv 12:3; 13:1 He had a name written that no one knows except himself. # 19:12 Rv 2:17; 3:12 13He wore a robe dipped in blood, # 19:13 Is 63:1–6; Rv 14:14–20 and his name is called the Word of God. # 19:13 Jn 1:1–5; Heb 4:12 14The armies that were in heaven followed him on white horses, wearing pure white linen. 15A sharp # 19:15 Other mss add double-edged sword # 19:15 Is 49:2; Heb 4:12; Rv 1:16; 2:12,16 came from his mouth, so that he might strike the nations with it. # 19:15 Is 11:4; 2Th 2:8; Rv 1:16; 2:12 He will rule # 19:15 Or shepherd them with an iron rod. # 19:15 Ps 2:9; Rv 12:5 He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, # 19:15 Jr 25:15; Rv 14:8,10,19–20; 16:19; 18:3 the Almighty. 16And he has a name written on his robe and on his thigh: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. # 19:16 Dt 10:17; Dn 2:47; 1Tm 6:15; Rv 17:14

The Beast and Its Armies Defeated

17Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he called out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying high overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of military commanders, the flesh of the mighty, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great.” # 19:18 Ezk 32:4; 39:17–20

19Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies # 19:19 Rv 16:13–14; 17:2; 18:3,9 gathered together to wage war # 19:19 Nm 27:3; Jdg 6:33; Is 13:4; Hs 1:11 against the rider on the horse and against his army. 20But the beast was taken prisoner, and along with it the false prophet, who had performed the signs in its presence. He deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image with these signs. # 19:20 Rv 13:13–17 Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. # 19:20 Mt 5:22; Mk 9:43; Rv 20:10,14; 21:8 21The rest were killed with the sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds ate their fill of their flesh.

Hisgalus 19

1After these things I heard, as it were, a kol gadol (loud voice) of a great, multititude in Shomayim, saying, “Praise Hashem! The Yeshu'ah (Salvation) and the Kavod (Glory) and the Gevurah (Power) is of Eloheinu! 2Because emes and tzedek are His judgments because He judged the Zonah Hagedolah who was corrupting ha'aretz (the earth) with the zenut (fornication) of her and He took vengeance on her who has on her hands the dahm of His servants.”

3And again they said, “Praise Hashem! The smoke of her ascends l'olemei olamim!”#19:3 Isa 34:10 4And the esrim v'arba'ah Zekenim (twenty-four Elders) fell down and the Arbah Chayyot (four living beings) and they worshiped Hashem who sits on the Kes (Throne), saying, “Omein, Praise Hashem!” 5And a kol (voice) from the Kes (Throne) came forth, saying, “Say ‘Baruch Hashem Eloheinu,’ all you avadim (servants) of him and the ones with yirat Shomayim, ketanim (small ones) and the gedolim (great ones).”#19:5 Ps 134:1; 115:13 6And I heard, as it were, a sound of a great multitude and a sound like mayim rabbim (many waters) and a sound like mighty thunder saying, “Baruch Hashem! Because Hashem Eloheinu reigns, El Shaddai. 7Let us have simcha and exult in kavod (glory) to him because of the Bedeken of the Kallah of the SEH (Lamb),#19:7 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach and the Chosonʼs Tish and she has made herself ready.” 8And it was given to her that she should be clothed with fine linen, bright and tahor (clean); for the fine linen are the Tzedakot of the Kedoshim.#19:8 Isa 61:10; Ezek 44:17; Zech 3:4

9And he says to me, Write: “Ashrey are the ones having been summoned to the Seudas Moshiach, the Seudas Yom Nisu'im of the SEH”#19:9 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach (Lamb). And he says to me, “These are divrei Emes of Hashem.” 10And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, “You must abstain from such. For I am a fellow eved with both you and your chaverim who hold on to the edut (testimony) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach; worship Hashem! For the edut (testimony) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua is the Ruach HaNevu'ah (prophecy).”

11And I saw Shomayim having been opened, and, hinei, a sus lavan (white horse) and the one riding on it is called Ne'eman and Yashar, and in Tzedek#19:11 Dan 9:25 He judges and makes milchamah (war).#19:11 Ex 15:3; Ps 96:13; Isa 11:4 12And the Eynayim of Him are as a flame of eish, and on the head of Him are many atarot, and He has a Name inscribed of which no one has da'as except Himself. 13And He is robed in a kaftan dipped in dahm, and His Name is called, “The dvar hashem.”#19:13 Isa 63:2,3 14And the Tzivos Hashem (the Army of Hashem), the Tzivos HaShomayim, were following Him on susim levanim (white horses). They were dressed in fine linen, lavan (white) and tahor (clean). 15And out of the peh (mouth) of Him goes forth a sharp cherev, that with it He may strike the Goyim, and He will shepherd them with a shevet barzel, and He treads the press of the yayin of the fury of Charon Af of Hashem, El Shaddai.#19:15 Isa 11:4; Ps 2:9 16And He has on His kaftan and on His thigh a name inscribed: melech hamelachim and adon haadonim.

17And I saw one malach (angel) having taken his stand in the shemesh (sun) and he cried out in a kol gadol (loud voice), saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, “Bo! Gather to the Seudah Hagedolah of Hashem;#19:17 Jer 12:9; 46:10; Ezek 39:17; Isa 34:6 18That you may eat the basar of melachim (kings) and the basar of captains and the basar of strong men and the basar of susim and of their riders and the basar of all, both, bnei Chorin and avadim and the ketanim and the gedolim.”#19:18 Ezek 39:18-20 19And I saw the Chayyah [Anti-Moshiach] and the melachim (kings) of ha'aretz and their armies assembled to make milchamah (war) with the One sitting on the sus (horse) and with the Tzivos Hashem (Army of Hashem). 20And the Chayyah [Anti-Moshiach] was captured and, with it, the Navi Sheker (the False Prophet), the one having performed the otot (signs) before it, by which he deceived the ones having received the tav (mark) of the Chayyah [Anti-Moshiach] and the ones worshiping its Atzav (idol, image). These two were cast alive into the Agam HaEish (Lake of Fire) burning with gofrit (sulfur).#19:20 Dan 7:11 21And the rest were killed with the cherev (sword) of the One sitting on the sus (horse), the cherev (sword) having proceeded out of the PEH of Him, and all the birds were fully fed by their basar.
