4. The Twenty-four Elders and the Four Animals fell to their knees and worshiped God on his Throne, praising,Amen! Yes! Hallelujah!
5. From the Throne came a shout, a command:Praise our God, all you his servants,All you who fear him, small and great!
6-8. Then I heard the sound of massed choirs, the sound of a mighty cataract, the sound of strong thunder:Hallelujah!The Master reigns,our God, the Sovereign-Strong!Let us celebrate, let us rejoice,let us give him the glory!The Marriage of the Lamb has come;his Wife has made herself ready.She was given a bridal gownof bright and shining linen.The linen is the righteousness of the saints.
9. The Angel said to me, “Write this: ‘Blessed are those invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.’” He added, “These are the true words of God!”
10. I fell at his feet to worship him, but he wouldn’t let me. “Don’t do that,” he said. “I’m a servant just like you, and like your brothers and sisters who hold to the witness of Jesus. The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
11-16. Then I saw Heaven open wide—and oh! a white horse and its Rider. The Rider, named Faithful and True, judges and makes war in pure righteousness. His eyes are a blaze of fire, on his head many crowns. He has a Name inscribed that’s known only to himself. He is dressed in a robe soaked with blood, and he is addressed as “Word of God.” The armies of Heaven, mounted on white horses and dressed in dazzling white linen, follow him. A sharp sword comes out of his mouth so he can subdue the nations, then rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the raging wrath of God, the Sovereign-Strong. On his robe and thigh is written, King of kings, Lord of lords.
