ed out of his mouth: and all the
fowls were filled with their flesh.

And he saith unto me, Write, 2
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.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship
him. And he said unto me, See
thou do it not: I am thy fellow serv-
ant, and of thy brethren that have
the testimony of Jesus: worship God:
for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit
of prophecy.

11" 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.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire,
band on his head were many crowns;
and he had a name written, that no
man knew, but he himself.
13 d And he was clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood: and his
name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were
in heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white
and clean.

15 And hout of his mouth goeth
a sharp sword, that with it he should
smite the nations; and i he shall rule
them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierce-
ness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, in KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 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;

18 P 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.

19 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.

20 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 sch. 13. 12,15. them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brim

4 And I saw thrones, and they Dan.7.9.22. sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and hwhich had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands: and they lived and k reigned k Rom. 8. 17. with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not
again until the thousand years were
finished. This is the first resurrec-
tion.

6 Blessed and holy is he that
hath part in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no
power, but they shall be " priests of
God and of Christ, "and shall reign
with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years
are expired, Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison,

8 And shall go out P to deceive the
nations which are in the four quarters
of the earth, 9 Gog and Magog, to
gather them together to battle: the
number of whom is as the sand of
the sea.

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

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face Y the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

21 And the remnant were slain

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared das a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 fAnd God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, hneither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And i he that sat upon the throne said, k Behold, I make all things 5.1. & 20. 11. new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 dAnd the foundations of the wall & la. 54. 11. of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.
