Revelation 19
19
Celebration in Heaven
1After this I heard something like the loud voice of a vast multitude # Rv 7:9 in heaven, saying:
Hallelujah! # Ps 104:35; 106:1,48; 146:10; 148:14; 150:1
Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God, # Jb 12:13; Dn 9:9; Rv 7:10
2because His judgments are true # Valid; Jn 8:16; 19:35 and righteous, # Jn 8:16; 19:35; Rv 15:3; 16:7
because He has judged the notorious prostitute # Rv 17:1
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;
and He has avenged the blood of His slaves
that was on her hands. # 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! # Is 34:8-10; Rv 14:11
4Then the 24 elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, # Rv 4:8-10; 5:6-14; 7:11; 11:16 who is seated on the throne, saying:
Amen! Hallelujah! # Ps 106:48
5A voice came from the throne, saying:
Praise our God,
all His slaves, who fear Him,
both small and great! # Dt 1:17; 2Ch 18:30; 34:30; Jb 3:19; Ps 115:13; Rv 11:18
Marriage of the Lamb Announced
6Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters, # 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,
has begun to reign! # 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, # Mt 5:12; Rm 1:21; 4:20
because the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and His wife has prepared herself. # Hs 2:19; Is 54:5-7; Mt 22:2-14; Eph 5:27,32; Rv 21:2
8She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure. # 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. # Eph 2:10
9Then he # Probably an angel; Rv 17:1; 22:8-9 said to me, # Rv 17:1; 22:8-9 “Write: Those invited to the marriage feast # Is 25:6-8; Lk 13:29 of the Lamb are fortunate!” He also said to me, “These words of God are true. # Rv 21:5; 22:6” 10Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that! # Ac 10:25; Rv 22:9 I am a fellow slave with you and your brothers who have the testimony about # Or to Jesus. # Rv 1:2,9; 12:17; 20:4 Worship God, because the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” # Or the Spirit
The Rider on a White Horse
11Then I saw heaven opened, # Jn 1:51; Rv 4:1; 11:19; 15:5 and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True, # Rv 3:14 and He judges and makes war in righteousness. # Ps 9:8; 96:13; Rv 16:7; 19:2 12His eyes were like a fiery flame, # Rv 1:14; 2:18 and many crowns # Or diadems were on His head. # Rv 12:3; 13:1 He had a name written that no one knows except Himself. # Rv 2:17; 3:12 13He wore a robe stained with blood, # Or a robe dipped in # Is 63:1-6; Rv 14:14-20 and His name is the Word of God. # Jn 1:1-5; Heb 4:12 14The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen. 15A sharp # Other mss add double-edged sword # 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. # Is 11:4; 2Th 2:8; Rv 1:16; 2:12 He will shepherd # Or rule them with an iron scepter. # Ps 2:9; Rv 12:5 He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, # 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. # Dt 10:17; Dn 2:47; 1Tm 6:15; Rv 17:14
The Beast and His Armies Defeated
17Then I saw an angel standing on # Or in the sun, and he cried 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 commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great.” # Ezk 32:4; 39:17-20
19Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies # Rv 16:13-14; 17:2; 18:3,9 gathered together to wage war # 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 him the false prophet, who had performed the signs in his presence. He deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image with these signs. # Rv 13:13-17 Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. # 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 were filled with their flesh.

Ḥazon (Revelation) 19
19
1And after this I heard a loud voice of a great crowd in the heaven, saying, “Halleluyah! Deliverance and esteem and respect and power to יהוה our Elohim!
2“Because true and righteous are His judgments,#Psa. 19:9 because He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her whoring. And He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”#Deu. 32:43
3And a second time they said, “Halleluyah! And her smoke rises up forever and ever!”
4And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped Elohim who sat on the throne, saying, “Amĕn! Halleluyah!”
5And a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our Elohim, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”#Psa. 115:13
6And I heard as the voice of a great crowd, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, “Halleluyah, for יהוה Ěl Shaddai reigns!
7“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife prepared herself.”
8And to her it was given to be dressed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the set-apart ones.
9And he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who have been called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true words of Elohim.”
10And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “See, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who possess the witness of יהושע. Worship Elohim! For the witness of יהושע is the spirit of prophecy.”
11And I saw the heaven opened, and there was a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Trustworthy and True, and in righteousness He judges and fights.#See Acts 10:42
12And His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns, having a Name that had been written, which no one had perceived except Himself –#See Rev. 2:17
13and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood – and His Name is called: The Word of יהוה.#See John 1:1; John 1:14
14And the armies in the heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations. And He shall shepherd them with a rod of iron.#Psa. 2:9 And He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Ěl Shaddai.
16And on His robe and on His thigh#“Thigh”, but possibly flag. See Explanatory Notes "Thigh" He has a name written: SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS AND MASTER OF MASTERS.
17And I saw one messenger standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great Elohim,
18to eat the flesh of sovereigns, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of strong ones, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”
19And I saw the beast, and the sovereigns of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to fight Him who sat on the horse and His army.
20And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulphur.
21And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
