The Fourfold Hallelujah
1 After these things I heard something like a
Aloud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,
Hallelujah!
CSalvation and
Dglory and power belong to our God;
2 Aʙᴇcᴀᴜsᴇ Hɪs
Bᴊᴜᴅɢᴍᴇɴᴛs ᴀʀᴇ
Cᴛʀᴜᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʀɪɢʜᴛᴇoᴜs; for He has judged the
Dgreat harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and Hᴇ ʜᴀs
Eᴀvᴇɴɢᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟooᴅ oꜰ Hɪs ʙoɴᴅ-sᴇʀvᴀɴᴛs
1oɴ ʜᴇʀ.”
3 And a second time they said, “
AHallelujah!
BHᴇʀ sᴍoᴋᴇ ʀɪsᴇs ᴜᴘ ꜰoʀᴇvᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ᴇvᴇʀ.”
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,
Give 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,
Hallelujah! 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.”
17 Then I saw
1an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to
Aall the birds which fly in
Bmidheaven, “
CCome, assemble for the great supper of God,
18 so that you may
Aeat the flesh of kings and the flesh of
1commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men,
Bboth free men and slaves, and
Csmall and great.”
19 And I saw
Athe beast and
Bthe kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who
Csat on the horse and against His army.
Doom of the Beast and False Prophet
20 And the beast was seized, and with him the
Afalse prophet who
Bperformed the signs
1Cin his presence, by which he
Ddeceived those who had received the
Emark of the beast and those who
Fworshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the
Glake of
Hfire which burns with
2brimstone.
21 And the rest were killed with the sword which
Acame from the mouth of Him who
Bsat on the horse, and
Call the birds were filled with their flesh.
