She was permitted to be dressed in bright, clean, fine linen” (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).

The armies that are in heaven, dressed in white, clean, fine linen, were following him on white horses.

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

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.

The city possesses the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.

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.
