***Nakedness in the fallen world thus becomes a condition uniquely appropriate to marriage -- not just because it's more or less necessary, but because it images the trust that should exist between spouses.***

***The fact that nudity's proper context has become nuptial***

At the eternal wedding we have a nuptual context and one of complete trust.

What say we shed those garments to show Jesus we aren't ashamed?

Oh, come on. You know that by "nuptial context" I'm speaking of the marital act, in the context of the overall intimacy appropriate between spouses. I've already explained why the saints wear a wedding garment. Anyway, and more to the point, the saints already know that Jesus knows they aren't ashamed. They know that shedding a garment would be pointless, as Jesus already has perfect knowledge of them.
