You stored up treasure in the last days!Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers who reaped your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.You have lived luxuriously on the land and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.You have condemned— you have murdered— the righteous man; he does not resist you.

Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse. Its rider is called Faithful and True, and He judges and makes war in righteousness.His eyes were like a fiery flame, and many crowns were on His head. He had a name written that no one knows except Himself.He wore a robe stained with blood, and His name is the Word of God.The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen.A sharp sword came from His mouth, so that He might strike the nations with it. He will shepherd them with an iron scepter. He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty.And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
