Does the bride know she’s ready when she made herself ready - Revelation 19:7?

Revelation 19:7: “His bride has made herself ready.”

The Greek verb here is active voice, with a reflexive pronoun — she is the one doing the preparing, not a passive recipient of it.

If that's the case, here's the question: can someone genuinely go through the active process described in this verse — their own doing, not someone else's — and come out the other side with zero awareness that anything happened?

Some people say they're not supposed to know — it's God who judges. But I would say: if the verb is active, and it's the bride doing the readying, there's no way she has zero awareness of where her doing is leading to.

God's house

I was reading this Bible verse this morning:

"One thing I have asked from Jehovah; / That do I seek: / To dwell in the house of Jehovah / All the days of my life, / To behold the beauty of Jehovah, / And to inquire in His temple." (Psalm 27:4) Recovery Version

The footnote on "house" was really enlightening, saying that God's house is in Christ (John 1:14; 2:21) and in the church (1 Tim. 3:15). Where do you find God? In Christ! And also in the church.

What does God's house mean to you?

Short footnotes

It's my first time posting here, but I just wanted to share my appreciation for the short footnotes of this version.

As much as I like diving into the footnotes that take up a whole page or screen, the brevity of certain footnotes helps punctuate a simple idea that can serve as a tasty morsel.

Whenever I read this verse, I now always remember how He didn't save Himself because He wanted to save us!
