11我看見天開了，有一匹白馬出來，馬上的騎士名叫「誠信真實」，祂憑公義審判、作戰。12祂的雙目如火焰，頭上戴了許多冠冕，寫著一個只有祂自己才明白的名字。13祂穿著被鮮血浸透的衣服，祂的名字是「上帝的道」。14眾天軍穿著潔白的細麻衣，騎著白馬跟隨祂。15祂口中吐出一把利劍，可以攻擊列國。祂必用鐵杖統治他們，踩踏盛滿全能上帝之烈怒的榨酒池。16祂的衣服和大腿上都寫著祂的名號：「萬王之王，萬主之主。」17我又看見一位天使站在太陽裡，對空中飛翔的鳥大聲呼喚：18「來吧！一起來參加上帝的盛宴，一同享用君王、將軍、勇士、馬匹、騎士、自由人、奴隸和尊卑老少的肉吧！」19我看見那怪獸、地上的眾王及其軍隊聚集起來，要與白馬騎士和祂的軍隊作戰。20後來，怪獸被俘虜了，在怪獸面前行奇蹟的假先知也一同被擒了。這假先知曾用奇蹟欺騙那些蓋了獸印、敬拜獸像的人。他和怪獸一同被活活地扔進硫磺火湖裡。21怪獸的殘兵紛紛被白馬騎士口中的利劍所殺，飛鳥飽餐了他們的肉。

Rejoicing in Heaven
1After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,2for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”3Once more they cried out, “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”4And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!”5And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.”
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
6Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.7Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;8it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.9And the angel said* to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”10Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The Rider on a White Horse
11Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.12His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself.13He is clothed in a robe dipped in* blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.14And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.15From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule* them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.16On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.17Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God,18to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,* both small and great.”19And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army.20And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence* had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.21And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
