Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis to deipnon tou gamou tou arniou {εἰς τὸ δεῖπνον τοῦ γάμου τοῦ ἀρνίου | eis tò deîp-non tou gá-mou tou ar-ní-ou} situates the invited in the eschatological feast of the Lamb’s marriage, with successive genitives narrowing from supper to the wedding to the Lamb. The repetition of kai legei moi introduces a confirmatory utterance.
In context — Revelation 19:9
And he says to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God .”
