seven... plagues. See Revelation 16:1.

bride. Greek. numphe. See Revelation 21:2.Matthew 10:35; 3 John 1:3; 3 John 1:3 :29. John 18:23. Joh 22:17. The "wife" and the "bride" here must not be confused with "the wife" of Revelation 19:7. The wife of Revelation 19:7 is Israel, called out from all the nations for blessing in the Land, the earthly consort of "the great King" (compare Psalms 45.Jeremiah 3:14; Jeremiah 3:14). The "bride, the Lamb's wife" here is still of Israel, but that Israel of the "heavenly calling" (Hebrews 3:1); all those connected with the "heavenly" country and "the city which hath the foundations", for which "they looked" (Hebrews 11:13-16). See App-197.
wife. Greek. gune, always rend. "wife", or "woman". The wife of Revelation 19:7 is not called numphe. Here she is both numphe and gune (first occurrence Matthew 1:20). See App-197.
