The Wedding Celebration of the Lamb

19:6 Then9 I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting:10

“Hallelujah!

For the Lord our God,11 the All-Powerful,12 reigns!

19:7 Let us rejoice13 and exult

and give him glory,

because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,

and his bride has made herself ready.

19:8 She was permitted to be dressed in bright, clean, fine linen”14 (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).15

19:9 Then16 the angel17 said to me, “Write the following: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet at the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” He also said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 19:10 So18 I threw myself down19 at his feet to worship him, but20 he said, “Do not do this!21 I am only22 a fellow servant23 with you and your brothers24 who hold to the testimony about25 Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
