Praise or thanks are given to God for judging the whore, and for avenging the blood of his servants. The angel will not be worshipped. The fowls and birds are called to the slaughter.

19 And after that I heard the voice of a great many people in heaven saying, Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honour and power be ascribed to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are his judgments, for he has judged the great whore who did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants shed by her hand. And again they said, Alleluia! And smoke rose up forevermore. And the 24 elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sat on the seat, saying, Amen! Alleluia! And a voice came out of the seat, saying, Praise our Lord God, all you who are his servants, and you who fear him, both small and great!

And I heard the voice of a great many people, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of strong thunderings, saying, Alleluia, for God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted that she should be arrayed with pure and splendid linens. For fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

And he said to me, Happy are those who are called to the Lamb’s supper! And he said to me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See you do it not. For I am your fellow servant and one of your brethren, and of those who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw heaven open, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat upon him was faithful and true, and in righteousness did judge and make battle. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written that no one knew but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. 14 And the warriors who were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed with white and pure linen. 15 And out of his mouth went a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the heathen. And he will rule them with a rod of iron. And he trod the wine-vat of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun. And he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings and of high commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all free men and bondmen, and of small and great. 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their warriors gathered together to make battle against him who sat on the horse, and against his soldiers.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet who worked miracles before him, by which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were slain with the sword of him who sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth. And all the fowls were filled full with their flesh.
