There are 3 major timeline events associated with the Ancient Jewish Wedding. They are the Contract, Consummation and Celebration.
In the Contract, there is the bride price.
Peter 1:18 knowing that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your fathers, not with what is corruptible, silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless,
The custom was the Father of the Son brings a dowry of a high price to the father of the bride to be. Upon acceptance by both parties, the contract was sealed.
2 Cor 11:2 For I am jealous for you with a jealousy according to Elohim. For I gave you in marriage to one husband, to present you as an innocent maiden to Messiah.
With this contract acceptance, the bride-to-be drinks from the cup filled with wine or grape juice.
1 Cor 11:25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in My blood. As often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Master until He comes.
Once she drinks from the cup, it indicates that she has accepted his offer and they are in a legal binding agreement as bride and groom.
It would have been at that point that He would have begun to prepare a place for Himself and His Bride to live. Which Yeshua said that He had gone to do.
John 14:2 “In My Father’s house are many staying places. And if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I shall come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you might be too.
One of the restraints that can hold up the actual wedding itself is the job of getting the home ready. The Father has to inspect it and give approval before the wedding day can proceed. It is often said that the Bridegroom, when asked, "when is the wedding date?" Yeshua gave the Bridegroom answer.
Matt 24:36 No man knows the day or the hour, but only my Father in Heaven.
This prophecy is also a reflection of The Feast of Trumpets as it was a traditional custom for the High Priest to say, “No man knows the day or the hour.” because of the need for two witnesses to announce the time to start. When the Father gives the word, it is at that time, there would be a procession led by the bridegroom and his friends would head over to where His bride lives to get her. The processional wedding party would start with the sounding of the shofar for the bride to go out to meet the Bridegroom.
1 Thess 4:14 For if we believe that יהושע died and rose again, so also Elohim shall bring with Him those who sleep 15 this we say to you by the word of the Master, that we, the living who are left over at the coming of the Master shall in no way go before those who are asleep. 16 Because the Master Himself shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of a chief messenger, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. 17 Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught away together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air – and so we shall always be with the Master.
Another connection is the fact that Yom Kippur is all about the atonement. THE AT-ONE-MENT as I call it. With the Father officiating, Yeshua and His Bride are joined together for all time.
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen [wedding gown], clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Now the Bride may present herself spotless before the groom.And the bride says “Herein is our love made perfect, that I may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so am I in this world.”
Remember also the parable Yeshua use to describe how there will be those who would not be made aware of the times of His second coming and will miss this moment. We know He will do according to His Mo'edims.
Matt 25:1 “Then the reign of the heavens shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. .... 5 Now while the bridegroom took time, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight a cry was heard, ‘See, the bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him!’
