1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 17:6
Trivia: What were the faces, hair, teeth and tails of the locusts like in Revelation 9?
19:1-6
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
I heard voices in heaven saying,
Hallelujah!
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
The great whore who corrupted the world
with her fornication has been judged by God.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Again they said, "Hallelujah!",
and smoke rose up forever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
And the 24 elders and four beasts
fell down and worshiped God, saying,
Amen. Hallelujah!
19:7-10
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
The lamb is getting married. [1]
His wife is preparing herself.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
She's allowed to wear a wedding dress
made from clean white linen.
19:11-21
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
I saw heaven open and someone called "Faithful and True" [2]
was sitting on a white horse to judge and make war. [3]
His eyes were flames of fire,
and on his head were many crowns.
He had a name written on him
that no one knew but himself. [4]
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
His clothes were dipped in blood,
and his name is called "The Word of God." [5]
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
The armies of heaven followed him on white horses,
clothed in clean, white linen.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
A sharp sword stuck out of his mouth,
with which he will smite the nations.
He'll rule them with an iron rod,
and he'll tread the winepress of the wrath of God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
The name "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS"
is written on his thigh.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
I saw an angel who said to all the fowls,
Come and eat the great supper of the great God.
18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Eat the flesh of kings, captains, and mighty men.
Eat the flesh of horses and their riders.
Eat the flesh of all men, slaves and free, great and small.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

were cast alive into the lake of fire and brimstone.

The survivors were killed with the sword
that came out of the mouth of him who sat on the horse.
And their flesh was eaten by the fowls.
Woohoo! Jesus is finally getting married. (Well, the lamb is, anyway. And I guess that's Jesus.)
(Shoot! I thought he'd lighten up after getting married.)
Jesus has eyes of fire and many crowns on his head. But no one knows his name except for Jesus himself, and he's not telling (well until the next verse, that is).
With eyes aflame, many crowns on his head, clothes dripping with blood, a sword sticking out of his mouth, and a secret name, and "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" written on his thigh, Jesus leads the faithful in heaven into holy war on earth.
Oh Goodie! Jesus has another secret name. He even has it written on his thigh. (Some sort of tattoo maybe?)
Notice that his secret name ("that no man knew") is "The Word of God".
(I bet you thought it was Jesus!)
 King of Kings Goes Berzerk
