SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:7
Gocmonos y alegrmonos y dmosle gloria; porque son venidas las bodas del Cordero, y su mujer se ha aparejado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:7
Verse 7. The marriage of the Lamb is come] The meaning of these figurative expressions appears to be this: After this overthrow of idolatry and superstition, and the discomfiture of antichrist, there will be a more glorious state of Christianity than ever was before.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. Let us be glad, and rejoice, and give honour to him , etc.] The saints particularly; the converted Jews will call upon one another to express their gladness at the glorious display of Christ's kingly power and authority, and at the destruction of his enemies, and the happy and comfortable state of his church and people; and to rejoice in him as the Lord their righteousness and strength, and to give him the honour and glory of salvation, and to return him thanks for all the benefits they shall have received from him, particularly on account of what follows: for the marriage of the Lamb is come ; that is, of Christ, the Son of God, with the Jewish church more especially; there was a secret betrothing of all the elect to Christ before the world began; and there is an open espousal of every individual of them at conversion; but the public and general solemnization of the nuptials will not be until the new Jerusalem church state takes place in the personal reign of Christ, hereafter mentioned, ( Revelation 21:1,2,9) but here, and as previous to that, there will be a very general and open marriage of Christ with the people of the Jews, who have long rejected and forsaken him; for if the conversion of a single person may be called a marriage with Christ, much more the conversion of such members; and which is often prophesied of under this metaphor of a marriage, as in ( Isaiah 62:4,5 Hosea 2:19). And now the time will be come for the accomplishment of it, the evidence of which follows: and his wife hath made herself ready , or dressed herself; by decking herself with jewels, and putting on her wedding garment provided for her, and given to her by her husband, the Lamb, as appears from the next verse: this preparation will lie partly in the number of converts that will be brought into the Jewish church, which she will receive and clothe herself with, as with the ornament of a bride, ( Isaiah 49:18) and partly by the exercise of the several graces of the Spirit upon Christ, comparable to the jewels of a bride, with which she will be adorned for her husband; and also by putting on the robe of his righteousness, hereafter mentioned, which the old Jewish synagogue rejected, and therefore was cast off, ( Romans 10:3, Matthew 22:12,13). The Arabic version reads, the marriage of the Lamb is now come with his spouse, prepared for him; and the Ethiopic version, the marriage of his Lamb is come, and the wife is prepared; and that her preparation is not by her own merits and works of righteousness, but by the grace of her husband, is clear from the following verse. Mr. Daubuz, by the marriage of the Lamb, understands the first resurrection, and the state of the church at that time; and by the fine linen, the dress of the church, next mentioned, the incorruptible body of the saints compared to a garment, ( 1 Corinthians 15:53 Corinthians 5:2-4) and by those who are afterwards said to be called to the marriage, the converted nations in a mortal state: but all the saints will share in the first resurrection; besides, as yet the beast and false prophet are not destroyed, which must be before the first resurrection, as the following vision shows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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 thi triumphant song. Christ is the Bridegroom of his ransomed church. Thi 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 publicl owned by him as his delight and his beloved. The church appeared; no 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 of the gospel, the true sayings of God, opened, applied, and sealed by the Spirit of God, in holy ordinances, are the marriage-feast. This seem to refer to the abundant grace and consolation Christians will receiv in the happy days which are to come. The apostle offered honour to the angel. The angel refused it. He directed the apostle to the true an only object of religious worship; to worship God, and him alone. Thi plainly condemns the practice of those who worship the elements of bread and wine, and saints, and angels; and of those who do not believ that Christ is truly and by nature God, yet pay him a sort of worship They stand convicted of idolatry by a messenger from heaven. These ar the true sayings of God; of Him who is to be worshipped, as one with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
