Exegesis
A further coordinate clause introduced by kai {καὶ | kaí} follows within the same causal complex: hē gynē autou hētoimasen heautēn {ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἡτοίμασεν ἑαυτήν | hē gy-nḕ au-toû hē-toí-ma-sen he-au-tḗn}.
The verb hētoimasen {ἡτοίμασεν | hē-toí-ma-sen} in the aorist points to a completed, decisive act of preparation, while the reflexive heautēn {ἑαυτήν | he-au-tḗn} highlights her own active role in making herself ready. Syntactically, the hoti-clause thus holds two coordinated assertions—the arrival of the marriage and the bride’s completed readiness—which together justify the community’s call to exuberant praise.
In context — Revelation 19:7
Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has prepared herself.
