Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled
with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I
will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”

God has a variety of work and employment for His
holy angels. They readily execute every
commission they receive from God. (MH)

This heavenly city is literal, but it is called the bride, the Lamb’s wife because it
is the place where all God’s people are gathered. In this sense the New
Jerusalem is certainly like the bride; but this association doesn’t
diminish the reality behind the image. The city is associated with the bride to
awe us with a sense of its beauty. (DG)
