Alabanzas en el cielo

19 Después de esto oí como una gran voz(A) de una gran multitud en el cielo, que decía:

«¡Aleluya!(B)
La salvación(C) y la gloria y el poder(D) pertenecen a nuestro Dios,
Porque Sus juicios son verdaderos y justos(E),
Pues ha juzgado a la gran ramera(F)
Que corrompía la tierra con su inmoralidad,
Y ha vengado la sangre de Sus siervos en ella[a](G)».

Y dijeron por segunda vez:

«¡Aleluya(H)!
El humo de ella sube por los siglos de los siglos(I)».

Entonces los veinticuatro ancianos(J) y los cuatro seres vivientes(K) se postraron y adoraron a Dios(L), que está sentado en el trono, y decían:

«¡Amén(M)! ¡Aleluya(N)!».

Y del trono salió una voz que decía:

«Alaben ustedes a nuestro Dios(O), todos ustedes Sus siervos,
Los que le temen(P), los pequeños y los grandes».

Anuncio de las bodas del Cordero

Oí como la voz de una gran multitud(Q), como el estruendo de muchas aguas(R) y como el sonido de fuertes truenos(S), que decía:

«¡Aleluya(T)!
Porque el Señor nuestro Dios Todopoderoso reina(U).
-»Regocijémonos y alegrémonos, y démosle a Él la gloria(V),
Porque las bodas del Cordero(W) han llegado y Su esposa se ha preparado(X)».
Y a ella le fue concedido vestirse de lino fino(Y), resplandeciente y limpio,
Porque las acciones justas(Z) de los santos son[b] el lino fino.

El ángel(AA) me dijo*: «Escribe(AB): “Bienaventurados los que están invitados a la cena de las bodas del Cordero(AC)”». También me dijo*: «Estas son palabras verdaderas de Dios(AD)». 10 Entonces caí a sus pies para adorarlo(AE). Y me dijo*(AF): «No hagas eso[c]. Yo soy consiervo tuyo y de tus hermanos(AG) que poseen el testimonio de Jesús(AH); adora a Dios. El testimonio de Jesús es el espíritu de la profecía».

El jinete del caballo blanco

11 Vi el cielo abierto(AI), y apareció un caballo blanco(AJ). El que lo montaba se llama Fiel y Verdadero(AK). Con justicia juzga(AL) y hace la guerra. 12 Sus ojos son una llama de fuego(AM), y sobre Su cabeza hay muchas diademas(AN). Tiene un nombre escrito(AO) que nadie conoce sino Él. 13 Está vestido de un manto empapado en sangre(AP), y Su nombre es: El Verbo[d](AQ) de Dios.

14 Los ejércitos que están en los cielos, vestidos de lino fino(AR), blanco y limpio(AS), lo seguían sobre caballos blancos. 15 De Su boca sale una espada afilada(AT) para herir con ella a las naciones(AU) y las regirá[e] con vara de hierro(AV). Él mismo pisa el lagar del vino del furor de la ira(AW) de Dios Todopoderoso. 16 En Su manto y en Su muslo tiene un nombre escrito(AX): «REY DE REYES Y SEÑOR DE SEÑORES(AY)».

17 Vi a un ángel que estaba de pie en el sol. Clamó a gran voz, diciendo a todas las aves que vuelan(AZ) en medio del cielo(BA): «Vengan, congréguense(BB) para la gran cena de Dios, 18 para que coman carne de reyes, carne de comandantes[f] y carne de poderosos, carne de caballos y de sus jinetes, y carne de todos los hombres(BC), libres y esclavos(BD), pequeños y grandes(BE)».

19 Entonces vi a la bestia(BF), a los reyes de la tierra y a sus ejércitos(BG) reunidos para hacer guerra contra Aquel que iba montado en el caballo blanco(BH) y contra Su ejército. 20 Y la bestia fue apresada, junto con el falso profeta(BI) que hacía señales(BJ) en su presencia[g](BK), con las cuales engañaba(BL) a los que habían recibido la marca de la bestia(BM) y a los que adoraban su imagen(BN). Los dos fueron arrojados vivos al lago de fuego(BO) que arde con azufre(BP). 21 Los demás fueron muertos con la espada que salía de la boca de Aquel(BQ) que montaba el caballo(BR), y todas las aves se saciaron de sus carnes(BS).

Heaven Exults over Babylon

19 After these things (A)I [a]heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! (B)Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to [b]the Lord our God! For (C)true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He (D)has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia! (E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” And (F)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, (G)“Amen! Alleluia!” Then a voice came from the throne, saying, (H)“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, (I)both[c] small and great!”

(J)And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For (K)the[d] Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for (L)the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And (M)to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, (N)for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write: (O)‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, (P)“These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And (Q)I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, (R)“See that you do not do that! I am your (S)fellow servant, and of your brethren (T)who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the (U)testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Christ on a White Horse

11 (V)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, (W)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called (X)Faithful and True, and (Y)in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 (Z)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (AA)He [e]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 (AB)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (AC)The Word of God. 14 (AD)And the armies in heaven, (AE)clothed in [f]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now (AF)out of His mouth goes a [g]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And (AG)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. (AH)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And (AI)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

(AJ)KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

The Beast and His Armies Defeated

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, (AK)“Come and gather together for the [h]supper of the great God, 18 (AL)that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, [i]free and slave, both small and great.”

19 (AM)And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 (AN)Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and (AO)those who worshiped his image. (AP)These two were cast alive into the lake of fire (AQ)burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest (AR)were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. (AS)And all the birds (AT)were filled with their flesh.

Threefold Hallelujah Over Babylon’s Fall

19 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude(A) in heaven shouting:

“Hallelujah!(B)
Salvation(C) and glory and power(D) belong to our God,
    for true and just are his judgments.(E)
He has condemned the great prostitute(F)
    who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”(G)

And again they shouted:

“Hallelujah!(H)
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”(I)

The twenty-four elders(J) and the four living creatures(K) fell down(L) and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:

“Amen, Hallelujah!”(M)

Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,(N)
you who fear him,
    both great and small!”(O)

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude,(P) like the roar of rushing waters(Q) and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah!(R)
    For our Lord God Almighty(S) reigns.(T)
Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!(U)
For the wedding of the Lamb(V) has come,
    and his bride(W) has made herself ready.
Fine linen,(X) bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(Y) of God’s holy people.)

Then the angel said to me,(Z) “Write this:(AA) Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”(AB) And he added, “These are the true words of God.”(AC)

10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him.(AD) But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!(AE) For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”(AF)

The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast

11 I saw heaven standing open(AG) and there before me was a white horse, whose rider(AH) is called Faithful and True.(AI) With justice he judges and wages war.(AJ) 12 His eyes are like blazing fire,(AK) and on his head are many crowns.(AL) He has a name written on him(AM) that no one knows but he himself.(AN) 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,(AO) and his name is the Word of God.(AP) 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen,(AQ) white(AR) and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword(AS) with which to strike down(AT) the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a](AU) He treads the winepress(AV) of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:(AW)

king of kings and lord of lords.(AX)

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds(AY) flying in midair,(AZ) “Come,(BA) gather together for the great supper of God,(BB) 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people,(BC) free and slave,(BD) great and small.”(BE)

19 Then I saw the beast(BF) and the kings of the earth(BG) and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse(BH) and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet(BI) who had performed the signs(BJ) on its behalf.(BK) With these signs he had deluded(BL) those who had received the mark of the beast(BM) and worshiped its image.(BN) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake(BO) of burning sulfur.(BP) 21 The rest were killed with the sword(BQ) coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,(BR) and all the birds(BS) gorged themselves on their flesh.
