I love Ephesians 1, which culminates in the Lord Jesus as head over all things to the church; a great passage.And HE is still building THE HOUSE and is a SON over HIS FATHER's HOUSE and faithful in all HIS FATHER's possessions
And as HEAD, HE is able to direct the members of HIS BODY as HE purposes for the building up of THE BODY until we all reach the UNITY of THE FAIRHI love Ephesians 1, which culminates in the Lord Jesus as head over all things to the church; a great passage.
Or the BRIDEGROOM marrying THE BRIDE who has the RIGHT WEDDIMG GARMENTThe Bride is the New Jerusalem dressed as a bride, directly from Heaven.
The head marrying the body?
They are together.
Read Revelation 21.
Yes the church, the bride, the body. One and the same signifying those who have been baptized into Christ and reborn of His Life-giving Soirit through faith in The Gospel. These are those who have been washed and covered by the blood of the lambNot the church.
and Matthew 22 shows that not all can come to the wedding feast of the lamb. Only those who have the right wedding garment which the bridegroom has given to those who love HIMMy sister, John 3 is inviting all kind of people to that wrdding, good and bad people.
Here He wanted to mention that many people will come to the wedding but ONLY A FEW will be chosen. Those are Jesus true friends. Friends from the heart and mind, those that Jesus knows their hearts and see them that they really love Him and also His Father.
Matthew is presenting Jesus' first miracle when He was attending a wedding, not His wedding.
YOUu should take a look at the following verses:
Revelation 21:9-11
9. "And there came unto me (John) one of the seven angels which had the 7 vials full of the 7 last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife."
10. "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,"
11. "Having the glory of God: and her light was like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;"
And the description of the city continues through verse 27.
SHOULD I WRITE MORE
THE WORD OF GOD IS VERY CLEAR.
THE LAMB'S WIFE IS THE NEW JERUSALEM.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Focus on the statement "durst not bring against him a railing accusation"... this implies that whomever made the statement did not sink down to Satans level because he is the accuser of the brethren, not Christ. The word interpreted "railing" actually means blasphemous in Greek and accusation is from the Greek 'krisis' which is "accusation, condemnation, damnation, judgment." Christ would not use blasphemous judgement but the Righteous judgement of rebuking Satan as Lord.If Jesus was indeed Michael the Archangel, then Michael would have no need to tell Satan "the LORD rebuke thee". Jude says that Michael dared not bring a railing accusation against Satan, therefore he had to appeal to the Lord to rebuke the Devil. Had Michael been Jesus, He would have rebuked Satan right there. So your doctrine is totally false and must be rejected out of hand. And what exactly do you gain by promoting false doctrines? We will give account for every word which we speak or write.
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
I think Ellen White taught it, and the Seventh Day Adventists hold her to be a prophet.It's pretty simple:
The Church has never taught that Michael is Jesus. It is found no where in Scripture, it is found no where in the writings of the fathers of the Church, it is completely absent from two thousand years of documented Christian teaching.
If Michael were Christ, someone, somewhere, would have said something.
Pro-tip: If your doctrine has no history beyond a century or two, it's probably a recent innovation.

You are deliberately missing the point and diverting attention from the main issue. Actually you are twisting this Scripture, which is even more grievous. This Scripture PROVES that Michael is not Jesus, because Jesus is LORD, and His creature calls upon Him to deal with Satan.Christ would not use blasphemous judgement but the Righteous judgement of rebuking Satan as Lord.
