Context of Revelation 19:7

5A voice came from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all his servants, and the ones who fear him, both small and great! 6Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters, and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying, Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty, reigns! Let us be glad, rejoice, and give him glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has prepared herself. 8She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure. For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints. 9Then he said to me, “Write: Blessed are those invited to the marriage feast of the Lamb!” He also said to me, “These words of God are true.”
