Wahyu 19:7

19:7 Let us rejoice ¹  and exult

and give him glory,

because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,

and his bride has made herself ready.

Wahyu 21:9

The New Jerusalem Descends

21:9 Then ²  one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me, ³  saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!”

[19:7]  ¹ tn This verb and the next two verbs are hortatory subjunctives (giving exhortations).

[21:9]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[21:9]  ³ tn Grk “with me.” The translation “with me” implies that John was engaged in a dialogue with the one speaking to him (e.g., Jesus or an angel) when in reality it was a one-sided conversation, with John doing all the listening. For this reason, μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ (met’ emou, “with me”) was translated as “to me.” See also v. 15.
