OET-RV REV Chapter 19

5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all his slaves and everyone who respects him, both great and small.”[ref] 6 Then I heard what sounded like a large crowd and what seemed to be the sounds of lots of water and of powerful thunder, saying, “Praise Yahweh, because our God, the powerful master, reigns.[ref] 7 We’ll celebrate and be happy and praise him, because it’s now time for the lamb’s wedding and the bride is all ready. 8 She was given fine linen clothes that are bright and pure, because what she’s wearing is the obedient acts of the believers.”

9 Then the messenger told me to write, “Everyone who’s invited to the lamb’s wedding reception is blessed.” And he added, “These are God’s true words.”[ref]

10 I knelt in front of him about to worship him, but he told me, “Hey, I’m a fellow slave of you and your fellow believers who believe Yeshua’s testimony. Only worship God, because Yeshua’s testimony came from the same spirit as prophecy.”

11 Then I saw heaven open up and wow, a white horse and its rider was named ‘Faithful and true’, and he judges and battles righteously.[ref] 12 His eyes shone like a flame of fire, and he had many crowns on his head, with a name written (on him? See v16) that no one knows except himself,[ref] 13 He’s wearing a robe that’s been dipped in blood, and his name is ‘God’s message’, 14 and the armies in heaven were following him on white horses, all dressed in fine linen—white and clean. 15 A sharp sword comes out of his mouth so he can strike the nations and he’ll rule them with an iron scepter. He’ll destroy his enemies like trampling grapes in a winepress, with the resultant juice representing the anger of the all-powerful God’s fury.[ref] 16 He has a name written on his robe and on his thigh: ‘King of kings and master of masters’.

17 Then I saw a messenger standing in the sun, and he yelled out in a loud voice to all the birds flying high in the sky, “Come and join God’s big feast,[ref] 18 so you can eat the flesh of kings and commanders and warriors and horses and their riders, and the flesh of others, both free and slaves, lowly and prominent.”

19 Then I saw the wild animal and the worldly kings and their armies who had joined together to battle against the rider of the white horse and his army. 20 But then the animal was captured along with the false prophet who had done miracles in front of him. (That was how he’d deceived the ones who had accepted the mark of the animal and the ones worshipping his image.) The two of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. [ref] 21 The rest were killed by the rider of the white horse with the sword coming out from his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with the flesh of the dead.
