Gather yourselves together to the great supper of God
Revelation 19: 11- 21
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat on him is called: Bearer of Faith and Truth. And in righteousness he judges and battles. His eyes are flames of fire, and on his head are many diadems. To him a name is inscribed, that nobody knows but he himself. And he is clothed with a garment, dabbled with blood. And his name is called: The word of God. And the heavenly hosts followed him on white horses , clothed in delicate linen, lighting fine and pure, and out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, with which he should smite in one stroke the world.
These both were cast alive into the sea of fire, burning with sulphur. And the others were slain with the sword of him, that sat on the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth. And all birds satisfied themselves with their flesh.
And he shall rule them with iron rod and he will tread the winepress out of which the wine of the divine will of bliss will stream forward as wrath of the Almighty ruler. And he has on his garment at his hips written the name: King of kings, and Lord of lords.
En gegrepen werd het beest, en met hem de valse profeet, die voor het beest deed de tekenen, waarmee het verleidde die het merkteken aannamen van het beest en die voor zijn beeld aanbaden.
En hij zal hen weiden met ijzeren staf en hij zal treden de wijnpers waaruit de wijn van de goddelijke zegenwil als toorn van de Allesbeheerser tevoorschijn stroomt. En hij heeft op zijn gewaad op zijn heupen de naam geschreven: Koning van de koningen, en Heer van de heren.
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered to make war against him that sat on the horse and against his host. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet, that wrought miracles for him, with which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
And I saw an angel, standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all birds that fly in the midst of heaven: Come and gather yourselves together to the great supper of God. That you may consume the flesh of kings, and the flesh of warlords, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slaves, both small and great.
