Revelation 19 The Passion Translation (TPT)

Heaven Rejoices

 After this I heard what seemed to be the roar of a great multitude of voices, saying:

³ And again they shouted:

⁴ The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell facedown and worshiped God, who sits on the throne, saying in agreement:

⁵ Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

⁶ Then I heard what seemed to be the thunderous voice of a great multitude, like the sound of a massive waterfall and mighty peals of thunder, crying out:

⁹ Then the angel said to me, “Write these words: Wonderfully blessed are those who are invited to feast at the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” And then he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”

¹⁰ At this I fell facedown at the angel’s feet to worship him, but he stopped me and said, “Don’t do this! For I am only a fellow servant with you and one of your brothers and sisters who cling to what Jesus testifies. Worship God. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”^[e]

The Bridegroom-King on the White Horse

¹¹ Then I saw heaven opened, and suddenly a white horse appeared. The name of the one riding it was Faithful and True,^[f] and with pure righteousness he judges and rides to battle. ¹² He wore many regal crowns,^[g] and his eyes were flashing like flames of fire. He had a secret name inscribed on him that’s known only to himself.^{[h] 13} He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title is called the Word of God. ¹⁴ Following him on white horses were the armies of heaven, wearing white fine linen, pure and bright. ¹⁵ A sharp sword came from his mouth with which to conquer^[i] the nations, and he will shepherd them with an iron scepter.^[j]He will trample out the wine in the winepress of the wrath^[k] of God. ¹⁶ On his robe and on his thigh he had inscribed a name: King of kings and Lord of lords.

The Wild Beast Defeated

¹⁷ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, shouting to all the flying birds of the sky, “Come and gather for God’s great supper! ¹⁸ Come and devour the flesh of the kings, generals, and soldiers, the flesh of horses and their riders, the flesh of all people, slave or free, lowly or famous.”

¹⁹ Then I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to wage war against the rider on the white horse and against his armies. ²⁰ The wild beast was captured, as was the false prophet who had performed miracle-signs in his presence. (It was by these miracle-signs that he had deceived those with the mark of the wild beast and those who worshiped its image.) The wild beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur, ²¹ and their armies were killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the white horse. And all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.

20 Binding Satan

Then I saw a mighty angel descending from the heavenly realm, holding a heavy chain and a key—the key of the deep.^{[a] 2} He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent known as the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.^{[b] 3} The mighty angel threw him into the pit, locked it, and sealed it so that he could no longer deceive the nations until the thousand years were over. (After that he must be loosed for a brief time.)

⁴ Then I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given the authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and for the Word of God. They had refused to worship the wild beast or its image and did not have their foreheads or hands marked by the wild beast. They lived and reigned with the Christ for one thousand years. ⁵ This is the first resurrection.^[c] (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) ⁶ Wonderfully blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection! The second death holds no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ. And they will reign as kings with him^[d] a thousand years!

The Final Destruction of Satan

⁷ After the thousand years are over, Satan will be let loose from his prison ⁸ and will go out and deceive the nations of the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog.^[e] He will bring them together for battle, and they will be as numerous as grains of sand on the seashore.

⁹ They spread out over the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s holy believers and the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven and completely destroyed them. ¹⁰ Then the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the same place with the wild beast and the false prophet—the lake of fire and sulfur—where they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment Day

¹¹ Then I saw a great, dazzling-white throne and the One who sits on it. Heaven and earth fled from his presence and they were no more.^{[f] 12} I saw the dead, the lowly and the famous alike, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and then another book was opened: the Book of Life. The dead were judged by what they had done as recorded in the books. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead souls that were in it. Then death and the underworld gave up their dead, and all were judged according to what they had done. ¹⁴ Then death and the realm of the dead were cast into the lake of fire, for the lake of fire is the second death. ¹⁵ And anyone whose name was not recorded in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
