²¹ To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit down with me on my throne, as I myself have overcome and have taken my seat with my Father on his throne.

¹¹ "Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, To receive the glory and the honor and the power; For thou didst create all things, And because of thy will they came into being And were created."

⁶ Then I beheld a Lamb standing as if slain in the midst of the throne and of the four Living Creatures, and in the midst of the Elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes (which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth).

⁹ And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book And to open its seals; For thou wast slain and didst ransom for God Men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation; ¹⁰ Thou hast made them kings and priests unto our God, And they shall reign on earth." ¹¹ Then I looked and heard a voice of many angels encircling the throne and a voice of the Living Creatures and of the Elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, ¹² singing aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain, To receive power and riches and wisdom And might and honor and glory and blessing."

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and lo! a white horse; and he who sat upon him was named "Faithful and True"; and in righteousness does he judge and make war. ¹² His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he has a name written, which none knows but himself. ¹³ He is clothed in a vesture dipped in blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD ¹⁴ And the armies of heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. ¹⁵ And there issues from his lips a sharp sword with which to smite the nations. He shall shepherd them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the passion of the anger of Almighty God. ¹⁶ And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS ¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who shouted in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God, ¹⁸ to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, bond and free, small and great." ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war on him who sat on the horse and on his army. ²⁰ And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed miracles in his presence to deceive those who had received the brand of the beast, and those who worshiped his image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire, blazing with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were slain with the sword of him who sat on the horse, that sword which issued from his lips. And all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and One who sat thereon; from his presence fled earth and sky, and no place was found for them.

¹⁵ And if any one was found who was not written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.

¹ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and the sea is no more.
