This is a parallel biblical text presenting Revelation 19:1–21 in three versions side by side: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV), and the Latin Vulgate. The passage belongs to the apocalyptic tradition of early Christian literature and consists of two main movements: a heavenly worship scene and a vision of cosmic judgment. In the first half (vv. 1–10), a vast heavenly multitude erupts in "Alleluia" praise, celebrating God's condemnation of "the great whore" and announcing the marriage supper of the Lamb, where the bride (the saints) is clothed in fine linen representing righteous deeds. The second half (vv. 11–21) shifts to a conquest vision in which a rider on a white horse—identified as "the Word of God" and "King of Kings and Lord of Lords"—descends with heavenly armies, defeats the beast and the false prophet, casts them into a lake of fire, and slays their followers, while birds are summoned to feast on the slain. The distinctively violent imagery (blood-dipped robe, sword from the mouth, winepress of God's wrath) is characteristic of Revelation's symbolic register. The format is strictly a textual resource—useful for comparative translation study or exegesis—rather than commentary or argument.
