Revelation 19:11-21
[11]Then I saw heaven open, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True; it is with justice that he judges and fights his battles.
[12]His eyes were like a flame of fire, and he wore many crowns on his head. He had a name written on him, but no one except himself knows what it is.
[13]The robe he wore was covered with blood. His name is “The Word of God”.
[14]The armies of heaven followed him, riding on white horses and dressed in clean white linen.
[15]Out of his mouth came a sharp sword, with which he will defeat the nations. He will rule over them with a rod of iron, and he will trample out the wine in the winepress of the furious anger of the Almighty God.
[16]On his robe and on his thigh was written the name: “King of kings and Lord of lords”.
[17]Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying in mid air: “Come and gather together for God’s great feast!
[18]Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and soldiers, the flesh of horses and their riders, the flesh of all people, slave and free, great and small!”
[19]Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to fight against the one who was riding the horse and against his army.
[20]The beast was taken prisoner, together with the false prophet who had performed miracles in his presence. (It was by those miracles that he had deceived those who had the mark of the beast and those who had worshipped the image of the beast.) The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.
[21]Their armies were killed by the sword that comes out of the mouth of the one who was riding the horse; and all the birds ate all they could of their flesh.
