Book of Revelation Chapter 19
The crowd in *heaven thanks God
 1  After these things I heard a sound like a very big crowd in *heaven. They were shouting: ‘How great our God is! He saves people. He is really great and powerful. He has all authority.

 2  Everything that he decides is right and fair. He has decided to *punish the city, that powerful bad woman. She made many people on the earth bad because of the bad things that she did. She caused people to *worship her false gods, like a bad woman who causes people to have sex with her. God has *punished her because she killed his servants.’

 3  Then they shouted again: ‘How great God is! The smoke from the fire that burns her will continue to go up always.’

 4  The 24 leaders and the 4 *beings that were alive threw themselves down. And they *worshipped God, who was sitting on the *throne. They spoke with loud voices. ‘It is true!’ they said. God is very great!’

The *Lamb’s marriage
 5  Then someone spoke from the *throne. They said: ‘All of you, who are God’s servants, say how great our God is! All of you who *serve God and obey him must thank him. You must thank him, whether you are powerful people or not.’

 6  Again I heard a sound like a very big crowd, and they were shouting. The sound was like the noise of many rivers that were moving very fast. It was like loud noises in a storm. They shouted: ‘How great God is! Our *Lord God has all authority and he rules!

 7  We will be very happy with him. We will say how great he is! The time for the *Lamb’s marriage has come and his wife has prepared herself.

 8  God has given her bright, clean clothes to wear.’ These clothes are like a picture of the good things that God’s people have done.

 9  Then the *angel spoke to me. He said, ‘Write down these words: “The people that God chooses will be very happy! He will ask them to come to the *Lamb’s special marriage meal.” This is a true message from God.’

 10  Then I bent down at his feet to *worship him. ‘You must not do that!’ he said to me. ‘I am God’s servant, the same as you are. I am a servant, like all of you who go on believing Jesus. You are like brothers because you believe him. *Worship God! Those who speak for Jesus know what to say because of his Spirit. His Spirit tells them what to say.’

The great king on a white horse
 11  Then I saw *heaven open, and there was a white horse. Someone was riding the horse. His name was this: ‘He Always Obeys God and He is Completely Honest’. He is always right when he decides things. He is always fair. He is right when he fights a war.

 12  His eyes burned like fires and many *crowns were on his head. He had a name on him, but nobody knows that name except himself.

 13  He was wearing clothes with blood all over them. His other name is: ‘The Word of God’.

 14  The armies in *heaven were following him. They were riding white horses and they were wearing clean, white clothes.

 15  A sharp *sword was coming out of his mouth. He will beat all the countries with this *sword. Then he will rule them with an iron stick so that they will obey him. He will *punish them like someone who walks on grapes to make *wine. This shows that God is very angry. God has all authority, and he will *punish people.

 16  This king had a name on his clothes and high on his leg. The name is: ‘The King who Rules over All Other Kings; the Most Powerful *Lord’. note

 17  Then I saw an *angel who was standing in the sun. He shouted loudly to all the birds that were flying high in the sky. ‘Come!’ he shouted. ‘Come together to God’s big meal.

 18  There you will eat the meat from the dead bodies. They will be the bodies of rulers, captains of armies and strong men. There will be bodies of horses and those who ride them. You can eat all the dead people, whether they are slaves or free people. There will be powerful people and those who are not powerful.’

 19  Then I saw the first strange animal and the rulers of the earth and their armies all together. They had come together to fight a war. They fought against the person who rode the horse, and his army.

 20  But the person on the horse and his army beat them. He and his army took and held the strange animal and the false *prophet. That same false *prophet who, on behalf of the strange animal, had done things that surprised people. The false *prophet had caused people to believe him. He had told them what is not true. People believed him because of the things that he did. These were the same people who had the strange animal’s mark on them. They *worshipped his false god. The person on the horse threw the strange animal and the false *prophet into the lake alive. It was the lake of fire that burns with *sulphur.

 21  The person who rode the horse killed all his enemies’ armies. He killed them with the *sword that came out of his mouth. And all the birds ate the meat from the dead bodies until they were completely full.
