THE DEMISE OF THE BEAST

 

17 And I Saw an Angel

Standing in the Sun,

Who Cried in a Loud Voice

To all the birds flying in midair.

“COME, GATHER TOGETHER

FOR THE GREAT SUPPER OF GOD.

18 SO YOU MAY EAT THE FLESH

OF KINGS, GENERALS, AND THE MIGHTY,

OF HORSES AND THEIR RIDERS,

AND THE FLESH OF ALL PEOPLE,

FREE AND SLAVE, GREAT AND SMALL.”

19 Then I saw the Beast

And the Kings of the Earth

And their Armies

GATHERED TOGETHER

TO WAGE WAR AGAINST THE RIDER

ON THE HORSE AND HIS ARMY.

20 BUT THE BEAST WAS CAPTURED,

AND WITH IT THE FALSE PROPHET

WHO HAD PERFORMED THE SIGNS

ON ITS BEHALF.

WITH THESE SIGNS

HE HAD DELUDED

THOSE WHO HAD RECEIVE THE MARK

OF THE BEAST

AND WORSHIPED ITS MAGE.

THE TWO OF THEM

WERE THROWN ALIVE

INTO THE FIERY LAKE

OF BURNING SULFUR.

21 The Rest were Killed with the Sword

Coming Out of the Mouth

Of the Rider on the Horse,

And all the birds

Gorged themselves on their Flesh.

(Revelation 19:17-21, NIV)
