Revelation
Note!
This is the return of Jesus at the end
of the 7 yr. tribulation period not to be
confused with the rapture of the Christians
just before the tribulation began. At that
time of the rapture the Christians were taken up to heaven where they remain
with Jesus until the 7 yr. tribulation on earth is finished and then he brings
them back with him. Here
Jesus brings his saved people back on white
horses to rule and reign with him during his
1000 kingdom here on the restored earth.
1 And after these things
I heard a great voice of much people in
heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and
glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord
our God:
2 For true and righteous
are his judgments: for he hath judged the
great whore, which did corrupt the earth
with her fornication, and hath avenged the
blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said,
Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and
ever.
4 And the four and
twenty elders and the four beasts fell down
and worshipped God that sat on the throne,
saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out
of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all
ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both
small and great.
6 And I heard as it were
the voice of a great multitude, and as the
voice of many waters, and as the voice of
mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for
the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and
rejoice, and give honour to him: for the
marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife
hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted
that she should be arrayed in fine linen,
clean and white: for the fine linen is the
righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me,
Write, Blessed are they which are called
unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he
saith unto me, These are the true sayings of
God.
10 And I fell at his
feet to worship him. And he said unto me,
See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren that have the testimony
of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of
Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven
opened, and behold a white horse; and he
that sat upon him was called Faithful and
True, and in righteousness he doth judge and
make war.
12 His eyes were as a
flame of fire, and on his head were many
crowns; and he had a name written, that no
man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed
with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name
is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which
were in heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and
clean.
15 And out of his mouth
goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should
smite the nations: and he shall rule them
with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the
winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his
vesture and on his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel
standing in the sun; and he cried with a
loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly
in the midst of heaven, Come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the
great God;
18 That ye may eat the
flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains,
and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh
of horses, and of them that sit on them, and
the flesh of all men, both free and bond,
both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast,
and the kings of the earth, and their
armies, gathered together to make war
against him that sat on the horse, and
against his army.
20 And the beast was
taken, and with him the false prophet that
wrought miracles before him, with which he
deceived them that had received the mark of
the beast, and them that worshipped his
image. These both were cast alive into a
lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were
slain with the sword of him that sat upon
the horse, which sword proceeded out of his
mouth: and all the fowls were filled with
their flesh. |
