Strongs On/Off
Context
19:7 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 .
19:8 She was permitted to be dressed in bright , clean , fine linen ” (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints ).
19:9 Then the angel said to me , “Write the following: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet at the wedding celebration of the Lamb !” He also said to me , “These are the true words of God .”
19:10 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 who hold to the testimony about Jesus . Worship God , for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy .”
The Son of God Goes to War
19:11 Then I saw heaven opened and here came a white horse ! The one riding it was called “Faithful ” and “True ,” and with justice he judges and goes to war .
19:12 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 .
19:13 He is dressed in clothing dipped in blood , and he is called the Word of God .
19:14 The armies that are in heaven , dressed in white , clean , fine linen , were following him on white horses .
19:15 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 .
19:16 He has a name written on his clothing and on his thigh : “King of kings and Lord of lords .”
19:17 Then I saw one angel standing in the sun , and he shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying high in the sky : “Come , gather around for the great banquet of God ,
19:18 to eat your fill of the flesh of kings , the flesh of generals , the flesh of powerful people, the flesh of horses and those who ride them , and the flesh of all people , both free and slave , and small and great !”
19:19 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 .
19:20 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 .
19:21 The others were killed by the sword that extended from the mouth of the one who rode the horse , and all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh .
