From the Throne came a shout, a command:

Praise our God, all you his servants,
All you who fear him, small and great!

6-8 Then I heard the sound of massed choirs, the sound of mighty rapids, the sound of strong thunder:

Hallelujah!
The Master reigns,
    our God, the Sovereign-Strong!
Let us celebrate, let us rejoice,
    let us give him the glory!
The Marriage of the Lamb has come;
    his Wife has made herself ready.
She was given a bridal gown
    of bright and shining linen.
The linen is the righteousness of the saints.

Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,(A)
you who fear him,
    both great and small!”(B)

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude,(C) like the roar of rushing waters(D) and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah!(E)
    For our Lord God Almighty(F) reigns.(G)
Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!(H)
For the wedding of the Lamb(I) has come,
    and his bride(J) has made herself ready.
Fine linen,(K) bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(L) of God’s holy people.)

22 1-5 Then the Angel showed me Water-of-Life River, crystal bright. It flowed from the Throne of God and the Lamb, right down the middle of the street. The Tree of Life was planted on each side of the River, producing twelve kinds of fruit, a ripe fruit each month. The leaves of the Tree are for healing the nations. Never again will anything be cursed. The Throne of God and of the Lamb is at the center. His servants will offer God service—worshiping, they’ll look on his face, their foreheads mirroring God. Never again will there be any night. No one will need lamplight or sunlight. The shining of God, the Master, is all the light anyone needs. And they will rule with him age after age after age.
