啟示錄19:6-10

19:6 我聽見好像群眾的聲音，眾水的聲音，大雷的聲音，說：哈利路亞！因為主─我們的上帝、全能者作王了。

19:7 我們要歡喜快樂，將榮耀歸給他。因為，羔羊婚娶的時候到了；新婦也自己預備好了，

19:8 就蒙恩得穿光明潔白的細麻衣。（這細麻衣就是聖徒所行的義。）

19:9 天使吩咐我說：「你要寫上：凡被請赴羔羊之婚筵的有福了！」又對我說：「這是上帝真實的話。」

19:10 我就俯伏在他腳前要拜他。他說：「千萬不可！我和你，並你那些為耶穌作見證的弟兄同是作僕人的，你要敬拜上帝。」因為預言中的靈意乃是為耶穌作見證。

Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

"Hallelujah!

For the Lord our God

the Almighty reigns.

Let us rejoice and exult

and give him the glory,

for the marriage of the Lamb has come,

and his Bride has made herself ready;

it was granted her to clothe herself

with fine linen, bright and pure"—

for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are the true words of God." Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

    使徒約翰用婚禮來說明基督與教會的關係，因為將來上帝國完全實現的時候，教會要被提到天上，與基督一同做王直到永永遠遠！而這樣的關係，就像婚姻一般，使不同家的，合而成為一家！

    這是將來的奧秘，也是我們得救的盼望，因為我們被贖的人，如同妻子被去娶入門一般，是莫大的恩典！

    感謝上帝，透過耶穌基督成就這偉大完全的救恩！
