Revelation 19.17->

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great!"

And I saw the beast and the kings of the Earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army.

And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur. And the rest were slain by the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issues from his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

Revelation 19.11-16

Then I saw Heaven opened, and behold: A white horse!

He who sat upon it was called faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

His eyes flamed like fire, and on his head were many diadems.

Written upon him was a name known to none but himself.

He is clad in a robe drenched in blood.

He was called The Word of God.

And the armies of Heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, clean and shining.

From his mouth there went a sharp sword with which to smite the nations; for he it is who shall rule them with an iron rod, and tread the winepress of the wrath and retribution of God the sovereign Lord. On his robe and on his thigh there was written the name: "King of Kings and Lord of Lords."

Revelation 19.6-10

Again I heard what sounded like a vast crowd, like the noise of rushing water and deep roars of thunder, and they cried: "Hallelujah! The Lord our God, sovereign over all, has entered on his reign!

"Exult and shout for joy and do him homage, for the wedding-day of the Lamb has come! His bride has made herself ready, and for her dress she has been given fine linen, clean and shining." (Now the fine linen signifies the righteous deeds of God's people.)

Then the angel said to me, "Write this: 'Happy are those who are invited to the wedding-supper of the Lamb!' " And he added, "These are the very words of God.!

At this I fell at his knees to worship him. But he said to me, "No, not that! I am but a fellow-servant with you and your brothers who bear testimony to Jesus. It is God you must worship. Those who bear testimony to Jesus are inspired like the prophets."

Revelation 19.1-5

After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in Heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for His judgments are true and just; He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the Earth with her fornication, and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants."

Once more they cried, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her burning goes up for ever and ever."

And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who is seated on the Throne, saying "Amen, Hallelujah!"

And from the Throne came a voice crying, "Praise our God, all you His servants, you who fear Him, small and great!"

Lamentation

This is the nation possessed by Coyote!

This is the nation that's gnawed off three legs
and is still in the trap and
wonders what trap you're talking about.

This is the nation that
took the loot to the drive-in
and spent it right away and
thinks that's an alibi.

This is the nation that insists
it didn't do it
and you can't prove a thing.

Alas, Babylon!
It's been fun!
