Revelation 19:9
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.

I have a story to tell about this verse. I was studying scripture with the Lord teaching and while in converse with Him, I felt a Presence to my right side. I looked and there before my spiritual eyes was an angel handing me an invitation. It was a wedding invitation embossed in gold.

You know many think of scripture as theology, symbolism, and somehow distance to their reality. It isn't. It is real and up close. Closer than you think.

Now that's an offer you shouldn't refuse.

Those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb are blessed because the supper will take place in the kingdom of God: “Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, ‘Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!’ ” ( Luke 14:15). Attendance at the supper is equivalent to finding entry into the kingdom of God. This is one of seven blessings given in the book of Revelation.

The “sons of the kingdom” are the Jews. They are the ones who were initially invited to the marriage supper, but refused to come. Therefore, the invitation went out to all nations ( Mat. 22:2-14).

Yeshua indicated that although many would be called (κλητοί [klētoi] ) to the marriage feast, few were chosen (εκλεκτοί [eklektoi] ) ( Mat. 22:14). Only the chosen ones come to faith in Yeshua and actually attend the feast. I believe that includes the saints of all ages who will sit down and eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Sometimes I think this invitation is not given much consideration. How severely is the picture drawn in the Word of God of His dealing with the man who accepted his invitation to the wedding, but who did not put on the wedding garment which had been purchased for him, which was the robe of Yeshua’s righteousness.

Anyone who thinks they are good enough to come into the presence of Yeshua will be cast out as one who had insulted his Lord and abused His gracious benevolence if they come without Yeshua's Robe of Righteousness.

So what is "putting on" the robes of Christ’s righteousness? You must be like Yeshua. Consider the long fast that Yeshua endured in the wilderness of temptation. In forty days, He would be a bit emaciated, weak, dehydrated, and His health at risk. He did this for you and I. He wanted all mankind to be on advantage ground, bringing to him divine strength and divine power to conquer appetite and every unholy temptation. Yeshua broke the power of Satan upon man so that we can accept His invitation to the wedding, be provided the wedding robe, and be ready for His return.

With all these things, I think that the invitation is as crucial, as His obtaining the right to bestow it upon His followers.

visionary · Aug 5, 2018

Yeshua has sent forth an invitation bidding men to the marriage supper of the Lamb, but, as it is represented in the Bible, “they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it; I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.” These matters of temporal interest were of more value in the minds of those who were bidden to the wedding than the eternal weight of glory.

Jesus' first miracle was done at a wedding too. I think it was prophetic and points to the marriage of the lamb as you described.

Moses first sign was when he symbolised atonement with the staff turning to a snake, leprosy on the hand, and water being poured on the ground turning to blood. That was prophetic to Jesus pouring out his life at the end of that particular period.

I think the The first miracles point to the end of each age.

Definitely an invitation to not be turned down because we have more important matters to attend to. If those that receive the invitation are believers who are clothed with Yeshua's righteousness, then who is the bride? Does the bride receive an invitation to her own wedding?

Revelation 19:7-8 - It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Isn't the proposal "the wedding invitation" for the bride?

It’s interesting... I have recently been thinking a lot about Moadim - God’s “Appointed times”.....

And critical to this thinking is WHO appointed them? Was it man or God?

In the bible - God commanded the Jews to present themselves before The Lord at these times...

Yes - we are no longer under statute.... but Jesus indicated this does not invalidate the wisdom or the truth within The Law....

God has set these appointed times to appear before Him... Paul makes it clear that this is not required of Gentiles as central to salvation, to receive the Holy Spirit, or even to Serve God..... But - like every other thing God has set forth - there are blessings attached to participation and consequences attached to failure to participate....

But what really struck me is that IF you are seeking an Audience with God - there are appointed times where God promises to make himself available.. We must present ourselves before him to receive this audience....

And these are appointed times which God invites us to be present with Him.. And there will be consequences if we refuse to appear....

As a reminder - there is an Appointed Time coming up in about a month.... An appointed time where God has officially offered us an audience to appear before him.....

I never thought of it as such. Since when does the bride need to be invited to her own wedding? In the Parable of the Wedding Feast, it was the father of the groom that sent out invitations. I doubt he sent one to his son or his son's bride.

You wrote; "Yeshua has sent forth an invitation bidding men to the marriage supper of the Lamb, but, as it is represented in the Bible, “they all with one consent began to make excuse."

You were referring to the Parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22, but Matthew 22:10-11 says those that were invited were "guests". Can the bride be called a "guest"?

Nope.. the Bride is the collective of the saints [144,000] who are victorious.
Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

There seems to be a distinction between those who make it in by the skin of their teeth, by the grace of God, and those who are victorious and living proof that God's kingdom does live in His Temples, our bodies, and it is perfect. The Bride is made up of those who are called "perfect"... which I believe are the sealed 144,000.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
1 Kings 8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Those invited are more like...
Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

The Bride maintains a pure, love relationship and meditates upon His Words night and day, serving Him and loving everyone.

Matthew 22:36-38 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

gadar perets · Aug 7, 2018

I agree the bride is the 144,000 and the guests are all other believers if that is what you are saying. However, there are, in reality, 288,000 that comprise the bride (two groups of 144,000) to fulfill the type found in 1 Chronicles 27:1-15.
