Revelation 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:
[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. [3] And again they said, Alleluia.
And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. [4] And the four and twenty elders
and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne,
saying, Amen; Alleluia. [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. [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. [7] Let us be glad and
rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and
his wife hath made herself ready. [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. [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.
[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. [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 and make war.
[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. [13] And he
was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word
of God.
[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean. [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. [16] And he hath 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 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; [18] That 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] 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.
[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. [21] And 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.

Revelation 20
[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. [2] And he laid hold on the
dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years, [3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up,
and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till
the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a
little season. [4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment
was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the
beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years. [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the
thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. [6] Blessed
and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second
death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and
shall reign with him a thousand years. [7] And when the thousand years are
expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters
of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number
of whom is as the sand of the sea.
[9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of
the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of
heaven, and devoured them.
[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be
tormented day and night for ever and ever.
[11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose
face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for
them. [12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the
books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the
books, according to their works.
[13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell
delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works.
[14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into
the lake of fire.

Revelation 21
[1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw
the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of
heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell
with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [5]
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. [6] And he said
unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I
will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life
freely.
[7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and
he shall be my son.
[8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death.
[9] And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven
vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come
hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. [10] And he carried me
away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great
city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
[11] Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most
precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; [12] And had a wall
great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and
names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the
children of Israel:
[13] On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three
gates; and on the west three gates. [14] And the wall of the city had
twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the
Lamb. [15] And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the
city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. [16] And the city lieth
foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the
city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth
and the height of it are equal. [17] And he measured the wall thereof, an
hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that
is, of the angel. [18] And the building of the wall of it was of jasper:
and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
[19] And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all
manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second,
sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; [20] The fifth,
sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl;
the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the
twelfth, an amethyst. [21] And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every
several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as
it were transparent glass.
[22] And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb
are the temple of it.
[23] And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in
it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
[24] And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:
and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. [25]
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no
night there.
[26] And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. [27]
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written
in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 22
[1] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. [2] In the midst of
the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of
life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every
month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
[3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb
shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: [4] And they shall see
his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. [5] And there shall be
no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the
Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
[6] And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord
God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the
things which must shortly be done.
[7] Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the
prophecy of this book.
[8] And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and
seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me
these things.
[9] Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of
this book: worship God.
[10] And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand.
[11] He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. [12] And, behold, I come
quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work
shall be. [13] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first
and the last.
[14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to
the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. [15]
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and
idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. [16] I Jesus have sent
mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root
and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
[17] And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say,
Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely.
[18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of
this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him
the plagues that are written in this book: [19] And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his
part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book. [20] He which testifieth these things
saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
