After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance.

Even the light from a lamp will never shine in you again! The voices of the bridegroom and his bride will never be heard in you again. For your merchants were the tycoons of the world, because all the nations were deceived by your magic spells!

because his judgments are true and just. For he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and has avenged the blood of his servants poured out by her own hands!"

Then a voice came from the throne, saying: "Praise our God all you his servants, and all you who fear Him, both the small and the great!"

Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

So I threw myself down at his feet to worship him, but he said, "Do not do this! I am only a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony about Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

His eyes are like a fiery flame and there are many diadem crowns on his head. He has a name written that no one knows except himself.

From his mouth extends a sharp sword, so that with it he can strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod , and he stomps the winepress of the furious wrath of God, the All-Powerful.

He has a name written on his clothing and on his thigh: "King of kings and Lord of lords."

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do battle with the one who rode the horse and with his army.

Now the beast was seized, and along with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf—signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur.

Then I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.

Then I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Now when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison

Then I saw a large white throne and the one who was seated on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.

The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: "Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them.

The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

And there will no longer be any curse, and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him,

and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
