After this I heard what sounded like the roar
of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
"Hallelujah!
"Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
for true and just are His judgments.
He has condemned the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of His servants."
The twenty-four elders
and the four living creatures
fell down and worshiped God,
who was seated on the throne.
And they cried:
"Amen, Hallelujah!"
Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
"Praise our God, all you His servants,
you who fear Him,
both small and great!"
Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude,
like the roar of rushing waters
and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
"Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give Him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and His bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear."
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
Then the angel said to me,
"Write: 'Blessed are those
who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'"
And he added,
"These are the true words of God."
(Revelation 19:1-9)
