aints. (9)And he said to
me, Write, Blessed are they that are invited to the marriage supper of
the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true sayings of God.
(10)And I fell down before his feet to worship him: and he said unto
me, See thou dost not so: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren
who hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the spirit of
prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.
(11)And I saw heaven opened, and lo a white horse; and he that sat upon
it, is called Faithful and True, and with righteousness doth he judge
and make war. (12)And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and upon his
head were many diadems; and he hath a name inscribed which no man
knoweth but himself. (13)And he was clothed in a garment dipt in blood,
and his name is styled the word of God. (14)And the hosts which are in

which burneth with brimstone. (21)And all the rest were slain with the

all the fowls were gorged with their carcasses.
