Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Revelation
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Revelation
019:009 And he said to me, "Write as follows: 'Blessed are those who
receive an invitation to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.'"
And he added, still addressing me, "These are truly
the words of God."
019:010 Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he exclaimed,
"Oh, do not do that. I am a fellow bondservant of yours
and a fellow bondservant of your brethren who have borne
testimony to Jesus. Worship God." Testimony to Jesus is
the spirit which underlies Prophecy.
019:011 Then I saw a door open in Heaven, and a white horse appeared.
Its rider was named "Faithful and True"--being One who in
righteousness acts as Judge, and makes war.
019:012 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many
kingly crowns; and He has a name written upon Him which no
one but He Himself knows.
019:013 The outer garment in which He is clad has been dipped in blood
and His name is THE WORD OF GOD.
019:014 The armies in Heaven followed Him--mounted on white horses
and clothed in fine linen, white and spotless.
019:015 From His mouth there comes a sharp sword with which He will
smite the nations; and He will Himself be their Shepherd,
ruling them with a scepter of iron; and it is His work to tread
the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Ruler of all.
019:016 And on His outer garment and on His thigh He has a name written,
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
019:017 And I saw a single angel standing in the full light of the sun,
who cried in a loud voice to all the birds that flew across
the sky, "Come and be present at God's great supper,
019:018 that you may feast on the flesh of kings and the flesh
of generals and the flesh of mighty men, on the flesh
of horses and their riders, and on the flesh of all mankind,
whether they are free men or slaves, great men or small."
019:019 And I saw the Wild Beast, and the kings of the earth,
and their armies, all assembled to make war, once for all,
against the Rider upon the horse and against His army.
And the Wild Beast was captured, and with him the false Prophet
019:020 who had done the miracles in his presence with which he had led
astray those who had received the mark of the Wild Beast,
and those who worshipped his statue. Both of them were thrown
alive into the Lake of fire that was all ablaze with sulphur.
019:021 But the rest were killed with the sword that came from the mouth
of the Rider on the horse. And the birds all fed ravenously
upon their flesh.
020:001 Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, having the key
of the bottomless pit, and upon his arm he carried a great chain.
