the wedding and the wedding festivities, are the same greek word.
That is what you inadvertantly illustrated.
That solidly places the wedding and feast in heaven.
Now you're not even LOOKING at the text I also pointed out when I said CONTEXT matters (Revelation 19):
[look at the distinctions I pointed out]
-- Revelation 19:
7 (re: "
the MARRIAGE" pertaining to the "Bride / Wife [SINGULAR]") - "the MARRIAGE *came*" (some versions say "has come") "and the bride / wife PREPARED herself"
-
https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/19-7.htm
--Revelation 19:
9 (re: "the marriage
SUPPER [G1173 in THIS CONTEXT -
https://biblehub.com/greek/1173.htm " pertaining to the PLURAL invited-ones [/those HAVING BEEN INVITED [perfect indicative] TO...], who are said to be
"BLESSED" as in about 8 other passages speaking TO THIS ISSUE [meaning, THEIR ENTRANCE INTO the promised and prophesied EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom age (
in their mortal bodies), upon His "RETURN"
to the EARTH]... such as Daniel 12:12 "
BLESSED is he that WAITETH
and COMETH TO the 1335 days" (I've listed out all those passages in past discussions), same
"BLESSED" in
Luke 12:36-37,38,40,42-44 "when he will
RETURN FROM the wedding"...
THEN the MEAL [G347 - same Grk word as in Matt8:11 and parallel]...
"BLESSED"... which entire passage
is PARALLEL to that which is written
in Matthew 24:36-51... and note again what I'd put in past posts about the
"LAMPS LIT" issue (
v.35) which pertains to the
"IN THE NIGHT" (i.e. TRIB YEARS) aspect OF the very lengthy time-period known as
"the day of the Lord" that
ARRIVES at the INITIAL "birth PANG [
SINGULAR; 1Th5:
1-3 / Matt24:
4/Mk13:
5 "G5100 -
tis - "
A CERTAIN ONE ['
a certain one'
bringing deception]," which
"beginning of birth PANGS [plural]" Jesus spoke of
are EQUIVALENT to the SEALS of Rev6 which will be opened
at the START of the "7 yr period [i.e. the "IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" time-period,
per Rev
1:1 / 1:19c / 4:1], NOT what would transpire and unfold upon the earth over the course of some near-2000 years starting back in the first century, NO (even Lk21:12 says, basically, that the 70ad events must take place [
sequentially]
"BEFORE" all the beginning of birth pangs)

Now, notice at the links to these two verses, the DISTINCTIONS.
--the "Bride / Wife [
SINGULAR]" (pertaining to the MARRIAGE itself, which is ALREADY COMPLETED / has ALREADY TAKEN PLACE, by that point) is
distinct from the "
those [plural]
HAVING BEEN INVITED [perfect indicative] TO the wedding
SUPPER [
G1173 in THIS CONTEXT -
https://biblehub.com/greek/1173.htm ]"
"BLESSED"--notice that this is saying that only the "INVITING" has taken place and been completed, at this point in the chronology, not that the SUPPER ITSELF has already taken place, NOR that "those [plural]
HAVING BEEN INVITED" TO it are present [bodily] UP IN HEAVEN (that's what the NEXT scene involves [following His "RETURN"
to the earth (and us
WITH Him)], in all of the passages in the gospels referring to "the wedding
FEAST / SUPPER / FESTIVITIES" or "the
MEAL [G347]," which shows
those characters (being referred to)
STILL LOCATED ON THE EARTH when He comes [to THERE / the EARTH], and how
those saints [having come to faith IN / DURING / WITHIN the Trib yrs (the ones STILL-LIVING at the time of His "RETURN"--like the one
in Dan12:12 "BLESSED" shows, along with about 8 other "BLESSED" passages)]
will ENTER the EARTHLY MK age [
in their mortal bodies CAPABLE of reproducing / bearing children (see again
the effects in Rev20:8 at the END of the MK age "the number of whom is as...")--again, the ones "STILL-LIVING" at that point of His Second Coming TO THE EARTH Rev19... and ONLY "the RIGHTEOUS" will ENTER the MK age...
not those who HADN'T come to faith in Christ by that point!])
I would write more (much more!) but most ppl tune out when there's these lengthy posts... and "skimming" them just doesn't touch on all the important "reasons" provided therein... I'm sure this post will largely be ignored, lol
