seven . . . plagues. See Rev_16:1.

bride. Greek. numphe. See Rev_21:2. Mat_10:35. Luk_12:63. Joh_3:29. Joh_18:23; Joh_22:17. The "wife" and the "bride" here must not be confused with "the wife" of Rev_19:7. The wife of Rev_19:7 is Israel, called out from all the nations for blessing in the Land, the earthly consort of "the great King" (compare Psa 45. Jer_3:14). The "bride, the Lamb's wife" here is still of Israel, but that Israel of the "heavenly calling" (Heb_3:1); all those connected with the "heavenly" country and "the city which hath the foundations", for which "they looked" (Heb_11:13-16). See App-197.
wife. Greek. gune, always rend. "wife", or "woman". The wife of Rev_19:7 is not called numphe. Here she is both numphe and gune (first occurrence Mat_1:20). See App-197.
