Marriage of the Lamb Announced

Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters,(A) and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying:

Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty,
has begun to reign!
Let us be glad, rejoice, and give Him glory,(B)
because the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and His wife has prepared herself.
She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure.(C)

For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints.(D)

Then he[a] said to me,(E) “Write: Those invited to the marriage feast(F) of the Lamb are fortunate!” He also said to me, “These words of God are true.” 10 Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow slave with you and your brothers who have the testimony about[b] Jesus.(G) Worship God, because the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”[c]
