Then I heard something like (A)the voice of a great multitude 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.

Marriage of the Lamb

Let’s rejoice and be glad and (F)give the glory to Him, because (G)the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His [a](H)bride has prepared herself.” 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 [b]saints.

Then (K)he *said to me, “(L)Write: ‘(M)Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.’” And he *said to me, “(N)These are the true words of God.” 10 Then (O)I fell at his feet to worship him. (P)But he *said to me, “[c]Do not do that; I am a (Q)fellow servant of yours and your brothers and sisters who (R)hold 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!”
