The wedding garment is symbolic of the covenant that is made with the Lord: "Thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, … even as a bride" (21:18). All these people will be a part of that covenant, thereby being bound eternally with Him. The bride offers a powerful and beautiful image. What does a bride do with the ornament that she puts on her bridal gown? She wears and protects it as her most precious possession. The Lord is saying here that all these people, every one of them, will be that valuable.
