Revelation 19:13

Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))

Han har på seg en klesdrakt som er dyppet i blod. Hans navn er Guds Ord. Himmelens hær fulgte Ham på hvite hester, og de er hvite og rene – kledd i fint lin. Fra munnen Hans går det et skarpt sverd, som Han skulle bruke til å beseire folkeslagene med. Han skal selv herske over dem med jernstav. Han trår selv vinpressen med Gud den Allmektiges harme og raseri. På klærne og på hoften Hans står Hans navn skrevet: KONGERS KONGE OG HERRERS HERRE.
