19:1
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:
19:2
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.
(19:2) "The great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication."
19:3
And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
19:4
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and
worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
(19:4)
"The four beasts fell down and worshipped God ... saying, Amen; Alleluia."
19:5
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.
19:6
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.
19:8
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.
19:9
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.
(19:12) "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."
Jesus has eyes of fire and many crowns on his head. But no one knows his name except for Jesus himself, and he's not telling
(well until the next verse, that is).
(19:13) "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called
The Word of God."
Jesus's clothes are dipped in blood and his secret name ("that no man knew") is "The Word of God". (I bet you thought it was Jesus!)
(19:14-15) "And the armies which were in heaven followed
him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 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."
With eyes aflame, many crowns on his head, clothes dripping with blood, a sword sticking
out of his mouth, and a secret name, Jesus leads the faithful in heaven into holy war on earth.
(19:16) "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS,
AND LORD OF LORDS."
Oh Goodie. Jesus has another secret name. He even has it written on his thigh. (Some sort of tattoo maybe?)
19:10
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.
19:11
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 andmake war.
19:12His 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.
19:13
And he was clothed
with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
19:14
And the armies which
were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean.
19:15
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.
19:16
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS,
AND LORD OF LORDS.
19:17
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;
(19:17-18) "Come ... unto the supper of the great God."
An angel calls all the fowls to feast
upon the flesh of dead horses and human bodies, "both free and bond, both small and great."
19:18That 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.
19:19
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.
19:20
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.
(19:20-21)
The beast and the false prophet are cast
alive into a lake of fire. The rest were killed with the sword of Jesus.
"And all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
19:21And 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.
