The service of blessaing of the marriage includes a reading from the Book of Revelation. Although the Elizabethan language of the Authorised version has been chosen, it is easier to understand this passage in the New International Version translation:-

¹Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. ²I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. ³And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ⁴He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

⁵He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, ”Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

⁶He said to me: ”It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. ⁷He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

It is always dangerous to take quotes from any document out of context. In this case the reading is stopping in the middle of a paragraph, the remainder of which reads:-

^8”But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

The whole reading concerns a divine revelation of what will happen when Jesus Christ returns at the end of the world. There will be a time of judgement - the paragraph before the bit quoted above talks of the dead being judged “according to what he has done”. 

The only escape from judgement for what we have done wrong is through acceptance of Jesus Christ as our personal saviour from that judgement. And that only comes through belief that he saved us from judgement by his very special death and resurrection two thousand years ago. We can only accept that promise of God if we admit that we are trully sorry for what we have done wrong, and undertake to try to turn away from continued wrongdoing. 

The ‘unbelieving’ mentioned above are those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour from judgement. Most of the book of Revelation is written in picture language, and the picture of the ‘fiery lake of sulphur’ is easy to understand!
