THE HOLY BIBLE Darby

Revelation (Author John)

19:1After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, Hallelujah: the salvation and the glory and the power of our God:

19:2for true and righteous are his judgments; for he has judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his bondmen at her hand.

19:3And a second time they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes up to the ages of ages.

19:4And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelujah.

19:5And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his bondmen, and ye that fear him, small and great.

19:6And I heard as a voice of a great crowd, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying, Hallelujah, for the Lord our God the Almighty has taken to himself kingly power.

19:7Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.

19:8And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and pure; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.

19:9And he says to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true words of God.

19:10And I fell before his feet to do him homage. And he says to me, See thou do it not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and the fellow-bondman of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God. For the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

19:11And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and one sitting on it, called Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness.

19:12And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head many diadems, having a name written which no one knows but himself;

19:13and he is clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God.

19:14And the armies which are in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white, pure, fine linen.

19:15And out of his mouth goes a sharp two-edged sword, that with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

19:16And he has upon his garment, and upon his thigh, a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords.

19:17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come, gather yourselves to the great supper of God,

19:18that ye may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiliarchs, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses and of those that sit upon them, and flesh of all, both free and bond, and small and great.

19:19And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army.

19:20And the beast was taken, and the false prophet that was with him, who wrought the signs before him by which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast, and those that worship his image. Alive were both cast into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone;

19:21and the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which goes out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

20:1And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand.

20:2And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

20:3and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little time.

20:4And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years:

20:5the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed. This is the first resurrection.

20:6Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

20:7And when the thousand years have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,

20:8and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

20:9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of the heaven and devoured them.

20:10And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages.

20:11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was not found for them.

20:12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is that of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works.

20:13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged each according to their works:

20:14and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.

20:15And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

21:1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.

21:2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

21:3And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.

21:4And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.

21:5And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful.

21:6And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.

21:7He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.

21:8But to the fearful and unbelieving, and sinners, and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

21:9And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

21:10And he carried me away in the Spirit, and set me on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

21:11having the glory of God. Her shining was like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;

21:12having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

21:13On the east three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

21:14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

21:15And he that spoke with me had a golden reed as a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.

21:16And the city lies four-square, and its length is as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed -- twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.

21:17And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, a man's measure, that is, the angel's.

21:18And the building of its wall was jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:

21:19the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

21:20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

21:21And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.

21:22And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.

21:23And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb.

21:24And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.

21:25And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.

21:26And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.

21:27And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.

22:1And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

22:2In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations.

22:3And no curse shall be any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,

22:4and they shall see his face; and his name is on their foreheads.

22:5And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of the sun; for the Lord God shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages.

22:6And he said to me, These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass.

22:7And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

22:8And I, John, was he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.

22:9And he says to me, See thou do it not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and the fellow-bondman of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do homage to God.

22:10And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. The time is near.

22:11Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.

22:12Behold, I come quickly, and my reward with me, to render to every one as his work shall be.

22:13*I* am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

22:14Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city.

22:15Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.

22:16*I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David, the bright and morning star.

22:17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; he that will, let him take the water of life freely.

22:18*I* testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book.

22:19And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

22:20He that testifies these things says, Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

22:21The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints.
