HELPS word-Studies

1062 gámos – properly, a wedding celebration; (figuratively) the Marriage Supper of the Lamb which begins with Christ glorifying all the saints (OT, NT) at His return. This eschatological celebration is described in Mt 22:2-10 and Rev 19:7-9 – "and apparently occurs at the final day of the seven-year Tribulation" (G. Archer). For more discussion, see 4394/prophēteia ("prophecy) and 110/athanasia ("the divine investiture of immortality") at the return of Christ.
