Revelation 19:10

Jesus
Praise and worshipJesus ChristProphecy

8 She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.

9 Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”

So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

11 Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.

12 He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows.
