Revelation 19:9

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. HE - God by His angel saith unto me. CALLED - effectually. The "unto" [ eis (G1519)], 'into,' expresses this: not merely invited to [ epi (G1909)], but made partakers of (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:9). MARRIAGE SUPPER - `the supper of the marriage.' Typified by the Lord's supper. TRUE, [ aleethinoi (G228)] - 'genuine;' veritable; which shall surely be fulfilled-namely, all the...

1-10 Praising God for what we have, is praying for what is yet further to be done for us. There is harmony between the angels and the saints in this triumphant song. Christ is the Bridegroom of his ransomed church. This second union will be completed in heaven; but the beginning of the glorious millennium (by which is meant a reign of Christ, or a state of happiness, for a thousand years on earth) may be considered as the celebration of his espousals on earth. Then the church of Christ, being purified from errors, divisions, and corruptions, in doctrine, discipline, worship, and practice, will be made ready to be publicly owned by him as his delight and his beloved. The church appeared; not in the gay, gaudy dress of the mother of harlots, but in fine linen, clean and white. In the robes of Christ's righteousness, imputed for justification, and imparted for sanctification. The promises...

Verse Revelation 19:9. _BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH ARE CALLED UNTO THE MARRIAGE_ _supper_] This is an evident allusion to the _marriage of the king's_ _son_, Matthew 22:2, c., where the incarnation of our Lord, and the calling of Jews and Gentiles, are particularly pointed out. See the notes there. _Blessed_ are all they who hear the Gospel, and are thus invited to lay hold on everlasting life....

AND HE SAITH UNTO ME - The angel who made these representations to him. See Revelation 19:10. WRITE, BLESSED ARE THEY - See the notes on Revelation 14:13. WHICH ARE CALLED UNTO THE MARRIAGE-SUPPER OF THE LAMB - The idea of a festival, or a marriage-supper, was a familiar one to the Jews to represent the happiness of heaven, and is frequently found in the New Testament. Compare the Luke 14:15; Luke 16:22; Luke 22:16 notes;...

EXPOSITION REVELATION 19:1 AND AFTER THESE THINGS I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OF MUCH PEOPLE IN HEAVEN, SAYING; _after these things I heard, as it were, a great voice of a great multitude, _etc. The usual introduction to a new phase of a vision (see Revelation 4:1, etc.). The "great voice," as usual, characteristic of the heavenly utterances (see Revelation 5:2, etc.). Again, we are not told whose the utterance is. It may well be that of all the heavenly inhabitants and saints in glory (cf Revelation 7:9). As usual in the Apocalypse, at the termination of a description o

AND HE SAITH UNTO ME, WRITE,.... What follows, because of the importance of it, and to show the certainty of it, and that it may be regarded and remembered: the person speaking is either the voice from the throne, Revelation 19:5 or the angel that attended John all along, and showed him this revelation, Revelation 1:1 or the angel that proposed to show him the judgment of the great whore, Revelation 17:1. BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH ARE CALLED TO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB; by which is meant the Gospel ministry and ordinances, and communion in them, to which the Jews will be called to partake of in the latter day; these at the first of the Gospel dispensation are called a "dinner", to which,

Revelation 19:1. _And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, praying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen: Alleluia._ For the overthrow of a monstrous system of error gives delight to all holy spirits, and chiefly to those who stand nearest the eternal throne. Revelation 19:5. And a voice came out of the throne saying, Praise our God
