except himself, [19:13]and he is clothed in a mantle dipped in blood,
and his name is called The Word of God. [19:14]And the armies of heaven
follow him upon white horses, clothed with fine white clean linen.
[19:15]And out of his mouth proceeds a sharp sword, that with it he may
smite the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he
shall tread the wine-press of the indignant wrath of God Almighty.
[19:16]And he has on the mantle and on the thigh his name written, King
of kings and Lord of lords.
4 [19:17]And I saw an angel standing on the sun, and he cried with a
loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come,
assemble yourselves to the great supper of God, [19:18]that you may eat
the flesh of kings and the flesh of chiliarchs and the flesh of mighty
[men] and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the
flesh of all, both free-men and servants and both small and great.
[19:19]And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies
assembled together to make war with him that sat on the horse and with
his army. [19:20]And the beast was taken and with him the false
prophet who performed miracles before him, with which he deceived those
who received the mark of the beast and those who worship his image; and
the two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with sulphur.
[19:21]And the rest were killed with the sword of him that sits on the
horse, which proceeded out of his mouth, and all the birds were filled
with their flesh.
5 [20:1]And I saw an angel descending from heaven, having the key of
the abyss and a great chain in his hand. [20:2]And he took the dragon,
which is the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years, [20:3]and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up and
put a seal over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till
the thousand years were finished; after that he must be released a
short time.
6 [20:4]And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given
them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded for the testimony
of Jesus and the word of God, and who did not worship the beast nor his
image and did not receive the mark on their forehead and on their right
hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years;
[20:5]the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years were
finished. This is the first resurrection. [20:6]Blessed and holy is he
that has part in the firs
