Mat 25;6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
BRIDE/GROOM/MARRIAGE
Rev 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.
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.
BRIDE/GROOM/MARRIAGE
Rev 22
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
BRIDE/GROOM /MARRIAGE
Yes, and when does all this take place?
Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Revelation 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Revelation 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
Revelation 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
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.
So what happens BEFORE the marriage of the Lamb is come??? for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
That great whore DOESN'T become a great whore until she beds down with Satan (the reason she is called a great whore) so SHE HAS BEEN JUDGED AND THE BLOOD OF HIS SERVANTS (NOT PART OF THEM) HATH AVENGED.
So clearly it has to be when Jesus returns to Judge, not PRE TRIB, NOT MID TRIB BUT POST TRIB
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come.
And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
and may enter in through the gates into the city. let him take the water of life freely. Where do we find the gates into the city? and the river of pure water? The Millennium, Post Trib
One way. You and I are sitting here typing and I am telling you to put on the gospel armor cause Satan is coming to deceive the whole world and that will be a dark day indeed (Satan-night, moons, darkness) You don't believe me and one day you look around and there has arrived upon earth a supernatural being performing wonderous miracles in the sight of everyone, with the best lie you ever heard of why there will be no rapture and it will be very believable. And life feels like heaven on earth because you know Satan comes in peacefully and prosperously for the entire world to worship him as God. He will even sit in the temple claiming to be. ( Of course there are those two pesky witnesses that keep telling everyone they know "that is not Messiah returned" and you should know it isn't because when Jesus return, we will all be changed into spiritual bodies) anyway one day the two witnesses are killed and the world is rejoicing and 3 1/2 days later, with a cloud of angels here comes Jesus and the witnesses rise, and Satan is
2Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Thessalonians 2:8
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Thessalonians 2:9
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Thessalonians 2:10
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Thessalonians 2:11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Perish as in flesh physically dead, in incorruptible (don't decay) bodies, SPIRITUALLY DEAD (mortal) until Satan is loosed at the end for a short time to deceive (test) once again and then it is life eternal or lake of fire.
ANOTHER WAY (as I understand "ripsure") You and I are sitting here talking and Poof you are gone to be with the Lord forever along with the rest of the "chruch/body of Christ" up to heaven and then return when all the trouble has passed and then you reign with Christ for the Millennium Because ???? God needs more souls in heaven?? The church is super holy these days??? This group of people don't need to be tested??? This group loves Jesus more than anyone else ever has?? Because God doesn't want them to stand for Him??? I just don't know. I know it isn't a marrige to tke place before the Lords Day. Does He return 2 times the exact same way??
