One of the seven angels: see 15.6-7 and chapter 16. It is not certain that this is the same angel who spoke to John in 17.1.

Come, I will show you: as in 17.1. In certain languages this sentence will be rendered as “Let us go, I will show you.”

The Bride, the wife of the Lamb: this is the new Jerusalem, not, as in 19.7, God’s people. If in a given language the Bride, the wife is an impossible combination, it is enough to say “the Bride of the Lamb” or “the woman who will be the Lamb’s wife.” The marriage has not yet taken place.
