4 After this, the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures all knelt before the throne of God and worshipped him. They said, “Amen! Praise the Lord!”
5 From the throne a voice said,“If you worshipand fear our God,give praise to him,no matter who you are.”
6 Then I heard what seemed to be a large crowd that sounded like a roaring flood and loud thunder all mixed together. They were saying,“Praise the Lord!Our Lord God All-Powerfulnow rules as king.
7 So we will be glad and happyand give him praise.The wedding day of the Lambis here,and his bride is ready.
8 She will be givena wedding dressmade of pureand shining linen.This linen stands forthe good thingsGod's people have done.”
9 Then the angel told me, “Put this in writing. God will bless everyone who is invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” The angel also said, “These things that God has said are true.”
10 I knelt at the feet of the angel and began to worship him. But the angel said, “Don't do that! I am a servant, just like you and everyone else who tells about Jesus. Don't worship anyone but God. Everyone who tells about Jesus does it by the power of the Spirit.”
