The Fourfold Hallelujah

1 After these things I heard something like a aloud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,

“bHallelujah! cSalvation and dglory and power belong to our God;

2 abecause His bjudgments are ctrue and righteous; for He has judged the dgreat harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and He has eavenged the blood of His bond-servants 1on her.”

3 And a second time they said, “aHallelujah! bHer smoke rises up forever and ever.”

4 And the atwenty-four elders and the bfour living creatures cfell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne saying, “dAmen. eHallelujah!”

5 And a voice came from the throne, saying,

“aGive praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, byou who fear Him, the small and the great.”

6 Then I heard something like athe voice of a great multitude and like bthe sound of many waters and like the csound of mighty peals of thunder, saying,

“aHallelujah! For the dLord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

Marriage of the Lamb

7 “Let us rejoice and be glad and agive the glory to Him, for bthe marriage of the Lamb has come and His 1cbride has made herself ready.”

8 It was given to her to clothe herself in afine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the brighteous acts of the 1saints.

9 Then ahe * said to me, “bWrite, ‘cBlessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ ” And he * said to me, “dThese are true words of God.”

10 Then aI fell at his feet to worship him. bBut he * said to me, “Do not do that; I am a cfellow servant of yours and your brethren who dhold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

The Coming of Christ

11 And I saw aheaven opened, and behold, a bwhite horse, and He who sat on it is called cFaithful and True, and in drighteousness He judges and wages war.

12 His aeyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many bdiadems; and He has a cname written on Him which no one knows except Himself.

13 He is clothed with a arobe dipped in blood, and His name is called bThe Word of God.

14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in afine linen, bwhite and clean, were following Him on white horses.

15 aFrom His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that bwith it He may strike down the nations, and He will 1crule them with a rod of iron; and dHe treads the 2wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.

16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has aa name written, “bKING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
