1. After these things I heard a great sound of many people in heaven, shouting: “Alleluia!Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!
2. For true and righteous are His judgments,because He has judged the great prostitutewho corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants.”
3. Again they said: “Alleluia!Her smoke rises forever and ever.”
4. The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying: “Amen! Alleluia!”
5. Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God,all you His servantsand those who fear Him,both small and great!”
6. Then I heard something like the sound like a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying: “Alleluia!For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
7. Let us be glad and rejoiceand give Him glory,for the marriage of the Lamb has come,and His wife has made herself ready.
8. It was granted her to be arrayed in fine linen,clean and white.”Fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
9. Then he said to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”
10. I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you not do that. I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
11. I saw heaven opened. And there was a white horse. He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.
12. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on His head are many crowns. He has a name written, that no one knows but He Himself.
13. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood. His name is called The Word of God.
14. The armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
