Scofield's Reference Notes - Revelation 19:8

righteousness The garment is Scripture is a symbol of righteousness. In the bad ethical sense it symbolizes self-righteousness (e.g) Isaiah 64:6; Philippians 3:6-8 the best that a moral and religious man under law could do). In the good ethical sense the garment symbolizes "the righteousness of God. . .upon all them that believe." (See Scofield "Isaiah 64:6- :") . read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 19:1-21

Revelation 19:1 . I heard a great voice of much people, songs in full choir, the songs of heaven and of earth, for both are now made one, saying, Alleluia, written as John expressed it in Greek. Praise ye the Lord, Jehovah, the first and the last. This is the grand overture to the song opened in Revelation 4:9-11, and now resumed in the sublime of triumph. Revelation 19:2 . True and righteous are his judgments. The song of the seraphim, in the sixth of Isaiah, was excited by a view of... read more

Revelation 19:9Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.The marriage supper of the LambI. The lamb. We know at once who this is; but it is remarkable that, with one exception and that occurring in this evangelist’s own Gospel, this is the only part of the inspired writings in which our Lord is ever called by this name. Now this could not have happened by accident. There is a meaning in it, and it is not difficult perhaps to see what it is--the Lord Jesus would have... read more
