²⁷ For the ^(A)Son of Man ^(B)is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and ^(C)will then repay every person according to his ^[a]deeds.

¹¹ and they said, “^(A)Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who ^(B)has been taken up from you into heaven, will ^(C)come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

The Coming of Christ

¹¹ And I saw ^(A)heaven opened, and behold, a ^(B)white horse, and He who sat on it is called ^(C)Faithful and True, and in ^(D)righteousness He judges and wages war. ¹² His ^(E)eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many ^(F)crowns; and He has a ^(G)name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. ¹³ He is clothed with a ^(H)robe dipped in blood, and His name is called ^(I)The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in ^(J)fine linen, ^(K)white and clean, were following Him on white horses. ^15 (L)From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that ^(M)with it He may strike down the nations, and He will ^[a](N)rule them with a rod of iron; and ^(O)He treads the ^[b]wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. ¹⁶ And on His robe and on His thigh He has ^(P)a name written: “^(Q)KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

Judgment at the Throne of God

¹¹ Then I saw a great white ^(A)throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose ^[a]presence ^(B)earth and heaven fled, and ^(C)no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, the ^(D)great and the small, standing before the throne, and ^[b](E)books were opened; and another ^[c]book was opened, which is ^(F)the book of life; and the dead ^(G)were judged from the things which were written in the ^[d]books, ^(H)according to their deeds. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and ^(I)Death and Hades ^(J)gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one of them ^(K)according to their deeds. ¹⁴ Then ^(L)Death and Hades were thrown into ^(M)the lake of fire. This is the ^(N)second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if ^[e]anyone’s name was not found written in ^(O)the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
