The White Horse and the Final Victory
John sees heaven opened and a white horse with a rider called Faithful and True. His eyes are like a flame of fire, he wears many diadems, and he is clothed in a robe dipped in blood. His name is the Word of God, and on his robe it says King of kings and Lord of lords. The armies of heaven follow him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword that strikes down the nations. An angel calls the birds to the great supper of God. The beast and the false prophet are seized and thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur, while their armies are killed by the sword from the rider's mouth.
Johanneksen ilmestys 19,11-21
11Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True, and with justice he judges and wages war.
Καὶ εἶδον τὸν οὐρανὸν ἠνεῳγμένον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἵππος λευκός, καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ⸂πιστὸς καλούμενος⸃ καὶ ἀληθινός, καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνει καὶ πολεμεῖ.
12His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ ⸀αὐτοῦ φλὸξ πυρός, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ διαδήματα πολλά, ⸀ἔχων ὄνομα γεγραμμένον ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν εἰ μὴ αὐτός,
13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God.
καὶ περιβεβλημένος ἱμάτιον ⸀βεβαμμένον αἵματι, καὶ ⸀κέκληται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ὁ Λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ.
14The armies of heaven followed him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
καὶ τὰ στρατεύματα ⸀τὰ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἐφʼ ἵπποις λευκοῖς, ἐνδεδυμένοι βύσσινον λευκὸν καθαρόν.
15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται ⸀ῥομφαία ὀξεῖα, ἵνα ἐν αὐτῇ πατάξῃ τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ αὐτὸς ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ· καὶ αὐτὸς πατεῖ τὴν ληνὸν τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ παντοκράτορος.
16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.
καὶ ἔχει ἐπὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν μηρὸν αὐτοῦ ὄνομα γεγραμμένον· Βασιλεὺς βασιλέων καὶ κύριος κυρίων.
17Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying high overhead, "Come, gather for the great supper of God,
Καὶ εἶδον ⸀ἕνα ἄγγελον ἑστῶτα ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ, καὶ ⸀ἔκραξεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων πᾶσι τοῖς ὀρνέοις τοῖς πετομένοις ἐν μεσουρανήματι· Δεῦτε συνάχθητε εἰς τὸ δεῖπνον τὸ μέγα τοῦ θεοῦ,
18to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of the mighty, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great."
ἵνα φάγητε σάρκας βασιλέων καὶ σάρκας χιλιάρχων καὶ σάρκας ἰσχυρῶν καὶ σάρκας ἵππων καὶ τῶν καθημένων ἐπʼ ⸀αὐτῶν, καὶ σάρκας πάντων ἐλευθέρων τε καὶ δούλων καὶ μικρῶν ⸀καὶ μεγάλων.
19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to wage war against the rider on the horse and against his army.
καὶ εἶδον τὸ θηρίον καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ τὰ στρατεύματα αὐτῶν συνηγμένα ποιῆσαι ⸀τὸν πόλεμον μετὰ τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ ἵππου καὶ μετὰ τοῦ στρατεύματος αὐτοῦ.
20But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs in its presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur.
καὶ ἐπιάσθη τὸ θηρίον καὶ ⸂μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὁ⸃ ψευδοπροφήτης ὁ ποιήσας τὰ σημεῖα ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ἐν οἷς ἐπλάνησεν τοὺς λαβόντας τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ θηρίου καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας τῇ εἰκόνι αὐτοῦ· ζῶντες ἐβλήθησαν οἱ δύο εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρὸς ⸂τῆς καιομένης⸃ ἐν θείῳ.
21The rest were killed by the sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ ἵππου τῇ ἐξελθούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ὄρνεα ἐχορτάσθησαν ἐκ τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτῶν.
