The answer is: White fine linen

Rev 19 vs 8

In Revelation 19:8, we see a stunning image of the "wife of the Lamb" dressed in "fine linen, clean and bright," which signifies purity and righteousness. This is such a powerful symbol! In biblical tradition, white garments often represent holiness and the divine. The imagery echoes throughout scripture, such as in Isaiah 61:10, where we find the picture of being adorned in garments of salvation and robes of righteousness.

Consider this: fine linen also connects to the high priests' attire in ancient Israel, where purity and significance were undeniably key elements. Exodus 28 details the ornate garments that the priests wore, embodying a direct link with God’s holiness. Likewise, the bride adorned in white signifies her status and purification—a reminder to those striving for a divine connection.

What's intriguing is that “fine linen” in those days was often associated with wealth, as it was costly and luxurious. It paints a picture of an exalted community—those invited to the great banquet in the kingdom. In fact, it’s believed that Jewish wedding customs heavily influenced this imagery, wherein a bride would wear exquisite and sparkling garments during her ceremony, further reinforcing her commitment and status.

Thus, the vision of the wife of the Lamb as boldly arrayed in white fine linen serves not only as a reflection of reconciliation and righteousness but also harvest a reminder of the communal celebration of humanity’s enhanced relationship with the divine. Isn’t that a beautiful thought?
