And (A)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” And from the throne came a voice saying,

(B)“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,
(C)you who fear him,
    small and great.”

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Then I heard what seemed to be (D)the voice of a great multitude, like (E)the roar of many waters and (F)like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty (G)reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult
    and give him the glory,
for (H)the marriage of the Lamb has come,
    and (I)his Bride has made herself ready;
(J)it was granted her to clothe herself
    with fine linen, bright and pure”—

for the fine linen is (K)the righteous deeds of the saints.

And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: (L)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, (M)“These are the true words of God.”

  1. Revelation 19:9 Greek he said

The twenty-four elders(A) and the four living creatures(B) fell down(C) and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:

“Amen, Hallelujah!”(D)

Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

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

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

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

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

Then the angel said to me,(Q) “Write this:(R) Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”(S) And he added, “These are the true words of God.”(T)
