6 I heard what sounded like the noise from a large crowd, like the noise of raging waters, like the noise of loud thunder, saying, 

“Hallelujah! The Lord our God, the Almighty, has become king. 

7  Let us rejoice, be happy, and give him glory 

because it’s time for the marriage of the lamb. 

His bride has made herself ready. 

8  She has been given the privilege of wearing 

dazzling, pure linen.” 

This fine linen represents the things that God’s holy people do that have his approval. 

9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the lamb’s wedding banquet.’ ” He also told me, “These are God’s true words.” 10 I bowed at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Don’t do that! I am your coworker and a coworker of the Christians who hold on to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy!”
