clean, was given her to wear.”(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of
God’s holy people.)
CONSUMMATION: BEING ONE WITH HIM
John 17:20 “I pray also for those who will believe in
me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are
in me and I am in you.
May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory
that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be
brought to complete unity. Then the world will
know that you sent me and have loved them
even as you have loved me.

THE LAMB Revelation 19
9 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.”
