And now shall be the marriage of the Lamb in the most perfect sense. The commencement of the glorious times of the church on earth, after the fall of Antichrist, is represented as the marriage of the Lamb; and this shall be the marriage of the Lamb in the highest sense that ever shall be on earth: but after this we read of ⟨p. 281⟩another marriage of the Lamb, at the close of the day of judgement. After the beloved disciple […] given an account of the day of judgement, in the close of the 20th chapter of Revelation, then he proceeds to give an account of what follows, in the 21st and 22d chapters; and in the 2d verse of the 21st chapter, he gives an account, that he saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And when Christ shall bring his church into his Father's house in heaven, after the judgement, he shall bring her thither as his bride, having there presented her, whom he loved, and gave himself for, to himself without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing.
