3 They said a second time:“Alleluia! Smoke will rise from her forever and ever.”
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen. Alleluia.”
5 A voice coming from the throne said:“Praise our God, all you his servants,[and] you who revere him, small and great.”
6 Then I heard something like the sound of a great multitude or the sound of rushing water or mighty peals of thunder, as they said:“Alleluia!The Lord has established his reign,[our] God, the almighty.
7 Let us rejoice and be gladand give him glory.For the wedding day of the Lamb has come,his bride has made herself ready.
8 She was allowed to weara bright, clean linen garment.”(The linen represents the righteous deeds of the holy ones.)
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These words are true; they come from God.”
