4. The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: “Amen! Hallelujah!”
5. Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our Godall you his servants,and all you who fear Him,both the small and the great!”
6. Then I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting:“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the All-Powerful, reigns!
7. Let us rejoice and exultand give him glory,because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,and his bride has made herself ready.
8. She was permitted to be dressed in bright, clean, fine linen” (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).
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.”
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.”
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.
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.
13. He is dressed in clothing dipped in blood, and he is called the Word of God.
14. The armies that are in heaven, dressed in white, clean, fine linen, were following him on white horses.
