NEW WORLD TRANSLATION OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

Revelation 19:1–21

1After these things I heard what was as a loud voice of a great crowd in heaven. They said: “Praise Jah, ​YOU​ people! The salvation and the glory and the power belong to our God,2because his judgments are true and righteous. For he has executed judgment upon the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his slaves at her hand.”3And right away for the second time they said: “Praise Jah, ​YOU​ people! And the smoke from her goes on ascending forever and ever.”

4And the twenty‐four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God seated upon the throne, and said: “Amen! Praise Jah, ​YOU​ people!”

5Also, a voice issued forth from the throne and said: “Be praising our God, all ​YOU​ his slaves, who fear him, the small ones and the great.”

6And I heard what was as a voice of a great crowd and as a sound of many waters and as a sound of heavy thunders. They said: “Praise Jah, ​YOU​ people, because Jehovah our God, the Almighty, has begun to rule as king.7Let us rejoice and be overjoyed, and let us give him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself.8Yes, it has been granted to her to be arrayed in bright, clean, fine linen, for the fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the holy ones.”

9And he tells me: “Write: Happy are those invited to the evening meal of the Lamb’s marriage.” Also, he tells me: “These are the true sayings of God.”10At that I fell down before his feet to worship him. But he tells me: “Be careful! Do not do that! All I am is a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who have the work of witnessing to Jesus. Worship God; for the bearing witness to Jesus is what inspires prophesying.”

11And I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness.12His eyes are a fiery flame, and upon his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself,13and he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God.14Also, the armies that were in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen.15And out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword, that he may strike the nations with it, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron. He treads too the winepress of the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty.16And upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

17I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice and said to all the birds that fly in midheaven: “Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God,18that ​YOU​ may eat the fleshy parts of kings and the fleshy parts of military commanders and the fleshy parts of strong men and the fleshy parts of horses and of those seated upon them, and the fleshy parts of all, of freemen as well as of slaves and of small ones and great.”

19And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army.20And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur.21But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them.
