Revelation 19:8

She has been given the right to dress in the finest linen, shining white and pure."
The fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
[Unlike the prostitute, see verse 2, who gives herself to many lovers, the bride gives herself completely and fully to Jesus. A little further on, the bride is called the wife of the Lamb, at which point she is married and the wedding feast is over, see Rev 21:9. Paul calls the believers betrothed to Jesus, see 2 Cor 11:2. The church is likened to his bride, see Eph. 5:27. The Song of Songs describes this love between God and his people. In Hosea, Israel is described as an unfaithful wife whom God will restore in the future.
A Jewish wedding at that time had several stages:
1. Betrothal – an official ceremony that was much more binding than today's engagement, see Matt. 1:18. The groom traveled from his father's house to the bride's home and paid a bride price, see Gen. 24:53; 29:15–30.
2. The groom prepares the new home, see John 14:1–4.
3. The groom comes to the bride's house to fetch her. No exact date is given, but it takes place about a year after the betrothal. The custom is illustrated in Jesus' parable of the ten bridesmaids, see Matt. 25:1–13.
4. The wedding feast – lasted several days, often seven days, see John 2:1–11.
There are different interpretations of what these images describe. What is clear is that the bridegroom is Jesus, see John 3:29. The bride always describes believers in the plural, while guests, the bridegroom's friends, and bridesmaids are used more individually to refer to individual believers, see verse 9.]
