Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces a causal clause that explains the ground for this threefold exhortation: ēlthen {ἦλθεν | êl-then} ho gamos tou arniou {ὁ γάμος τοῦ ἀρνίου | ho gá-mos toû ar-ní-ou}, “the marriage of the Lamb has come.”
Here ho gamos {ὁ γάμος | ho gá-mos} is the subject, with the genitive tou arniou {τοῦ ἀρνίου | toû ar-ní-ou} expressing a possessive or relational genitive (“belonging to the Lamb”). The aorist indicative ēlthen presents the eschatological event as having definitively arrived, not merely anticipated.
