The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

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

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

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

And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: (I)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, (J)“These are the true words of God.” 10 Then (K)I fell down at his feet to worship him, (L)but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to (M)the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The Vision of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Then I heard what sounded like the voice of a large crowd, like the sound of raging waters, and like the sound of powerful thunderclaps, saying,

“Hallelujah!
    The Lord our God, the Almighty, is reigning.
Let us rejoice, be glad, and give him glory,
    because the marriage of the lamb has come
        and his bride has made herself ready.
She has been given the privilege of wearing fine linen,
    dazzling and pure.”

(The fine linen represents the righteous deeds of the saints.)

Then the angel[a] told me, “Write this: ‘How blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb!’” He also told me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 I bowed down at his feet to worship him, but he told me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who rely on what Jesus is saying. Worship God, because what Jesus is saying is the spirit of prophecy!”
