Revelation 19:5-10

The marriage supper of the Lamb Revelation 19:5-10: All in heaven, from the lowest saint to the highest angel are called upon to praise God. The message from this great multitude in heaven was, "Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." This heavenly multitude rejoiced and shouted for joy because "the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has prepared herself."

The Jewish wedding consisted of: (1) a betrothal, (2) a period where the man and woman still lived apart, but were recognized as married, and (3) the marriage feast or consummation. At the consummation of the marriage God's bride is permitted to dress in fine linen that represents the righteous deeds, and conduct of God's holy people. Those that are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb are blessed. John was instructed to write, "Blessed are those who are invited or called to the marriage supper of the Lamb."

In a moment of being overwhelmed at this awesome scene John made a tragic mistake. He fell down to worship the angel. The heavenly messenger was quick to tell him to refrain from any such. The angel identified himself as just, "another servant with you and your brethren." The angel said, "worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
