V 001 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:
V 002 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.
V 003 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and
ever.
V 004 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and
worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
V 005 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.
V 006 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.
V 007 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.
V 008 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.
V 009 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.
V 010 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.
V 011 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.
V 012 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.
V 013 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is
called The Word of God.
V 014 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
V 015 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.
V 016 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
V 017 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;
V 018 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.
V 019 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.
V 020 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.
V 021 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. |

وسَمِعتُ بَعدَ ذلِكَ صَوتًا عَظيمًا كأنَّهُ صوتُ جُمهورٍ
كبيرٍ في السَّماءِ يَقولُ: «هَلِّلويا! لإلهِنا الخلاصُ
والمَجدُ والقُوَّةُ.
2-
أحكامُهُ حَقًّ وعَدْلٌ. دانَ
الزّانِيَةَ العَظيمَةَ التي أفسَدَتِ الأرضَ بِدَعارَتِها،
واَنتَقَمَ مِنها لِدَمِ عِبادِهِ«.
3- وقالوا ثانِيَةً: «هَلِّلويا! دُخانُها يَتصاعَدُ أبَدَ
الدُّهورِ«.
4- فركَعَ الشُّيوخُ الأربَعةُ والعشرونَ والكائناتُ الحيَّةُ
الأربعةُ وسَجدوا لله الجالِسِ على العَرشِ وقالوا: «آمينَ!
هَلِّلويا!
«
عرس الحمل
5-
وخرَجَ مِنَ العَرشِ صوتٌ يَقولُ: «سَبِّحوا إلهَنا، يا
جميعَ عِبادِهِ والذينَ يَخافونَهُ مِنْ صِغارٍ وكبارٍ«.
6- ثُمَ سَمِعتُ ما يُشبِهُ صوتَ جُمهورٍ كبيرٍ أو هَديرَ
مِياهٍ غَزيرَةٍ أو هَزيمَ رَعدٍ شَديدٍ يَقولُ: «هَلِّلويا!
المُلْكُ لِلرَّبِّ إلهِنا القَديرِ!
7- لِنَفرَحْ ونَبتَهِجْ!
ولْنُمَجِّدْهُ لأنَّ عُرسَ الحَمَلِ جاءَ وَقتُهُ،
وتَزَيَّنَت عَروسُهُ
8- وأُعطِيَت أنْ تَلبَسَ الكَتانَ
الأبيَضَ الناصِعَ«.
والكَتان هوَ أعمالُ القِدِّيسينَ الصّالِحَةُ.
9- ثُمَ قالَ لِيَ الملاكُ: «أكتُبْ: هَنيئًا لِلمَدعُوِّينَ
إلى وَليمةِ عُرسِ الحَمَلِ!
«
وقالَ أيضًا: «هذِهِ هِيَ أقوالُ الله الصّادِقَةُ«.
10- فاَرتَميتُ على قَدَميهِ لأسجُدَ لَه، فقالَ لي: «لا
تَفعَلْ! أنا عَبدٌ مِثلُكَ ومِثلُ إخوَتِكَ الذينَ عِندَهُم
شَهادَةُ يَسوعَ. فاَسجُدْ لله! لأنَّ شَهادَةَ يَسوعَ هِيَ
رُوحُ النُّبوءَةِ«.
راكب الفرس الأبيض
11-
فرأَيتُ السَّماءَ مَفتوحَةً، وإذا فرَسٌ أبيَضُ
وعلَيهِ راكِبٌ يُدعى الأمينَ والصّادِقَ، يَحكُمُ
ويُحارِبُ بِالعَدلِ.
12-
عَيناهُ كَلَهيبِ نارٍ وعلى
رأْسِهِ تِيجانِ كَثيرةِ وعلَيهِ اَسمٌ مكتوبٌ لا
يَعرِفُهُ أحَدٌ سِواهُ.
13-
وهوَ يَلبَسُ ثَوبًا
مَغموسًا بِالدَّمِ، واَسمُهُ كَلِمَةُ الله.
14-
وكانَت تَتبَعُهُ على خَيلٍ بِيضٍ جُنودُ
السَّماءِ لابِسينَ كَتانًا أبيضَ نَقِيُا،
15-
ويَخرُجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ سَيفٌ مَسنونِ لِيَضرِبَ بِه
الأُمَمَ، فيَرعاهُم بِعَصًا مِنْ حَديدٍ، ويَدوس في
مِعصَرَةِ خَمرِ نَقمَةِ غَضَبِ الله القَديرِ.
16-
وكانَ اسمٌ مَكتوبًا على رِدائِهِ وفَخذِهِ:
«مَلِكُ المُلوكِ ورَبُّ الأربابِ«.
17- ورأيتُ ملاكًا واقِفًا في الشَّمسِ يَصيحُ صِياحًا
عالِيًا بِجميعِ الطُّيورِ التي تَطيرُ في وَسَطِ
السَّماءِ: «تَعالَي اَجتَمِعي في وَليمَةِ الله
الكُبرى،
18- لِتَأْكُلي لُحومَ المُلوكِ ولُحومَ
القادَةِ ولُحومَ الأبطالِ ولُحومَ الخَيلِ
وفُرسانِها ولُحومَ جميعِ البشَرِ عَبيدًا وأحرارًا،
صِغارًا وكِبارًا!
«
19-
ورأَيتُ الوَحشَ ومُلوكَ الأرضِ وجُيوشَهُم
يَتَجَمَّعونَ لِيُقاتِلوا الفارِسَ وجَيشَهُ،
20-
فوَقَعَ الوَحشُ في الأسرِ معَ النَّبِيِّ
الكَذّابِ الذي عَمِلَ العَجائِبَ في حُضورِ الوَحشِ
وأضلَ الذينَ نالوا سِمَةَ الوَحشِ والذينَ سَجَدوا
لِصُورَتِه. وألقَوا الوَحشَ والنَّبِيَ الكَذّابَ
وهُما على قَيدِ الحياةِ في بُحَيرةٍ مِنْ نارِ
الكِبريتِ المُلتَهِبِ.
21-
وهلَكَ الباقونَ
بِالسَّيفِ الخارِجِ مِنْ فَمِ الفارِسِ، فشَبِعَت
جميعُ الطُّيورِ مِنْ لُحومِهِم.
