Then I heard something like (A)the voice of a great crowd and like (B)the sound of many waters and like the (C)sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying,

(D)Hallelujah! For the (E)Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Let us rejoice and be glad and (F)give the glory to Him, for (G)the marriage of the Lamb has come and His [a](H)bride has made herself ready.” And it was given to her to clothe herself in (I)fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the (J)righteous acts of the saints.

Then (K)he *said to me, “(L)Write, ‘(M)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” And he *said to me, “(N)These are true words of God.” 10 Then (O)I fell at his feet to worship him. (P)But he *said to me, “[b]Do not do that! I am a (Q)fellow slave with you and your brothers who (R)have the witness of Jesus. Worship God! For the witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder:

“Praise the Lord!
    For the Lord our God,[a] the Almighty, reigns.
Let us be glad and rejoice,
    and let us give honor to him.
For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb,
    and his bride has prepared herself.
She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.”
    For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people.

And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”

10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters[b] who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.[c]
