Again, it doesn't say, "UNTIL the restoration"... It says, "...UNTIL the TIME
S of restoration OF ALL THINGS OF WHICH GOD SPOKE BY the mouth of all His holy prophets
from the age" (which I'm saying commences just after He ceases the "sit" thing, and does the "descend" thing, which is
immediately followed by the "
STAND to JUDGE" thing in Rev5:6 [Isa3:13]... with the opening of SEAL #1 [i.e. INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR]"] at the
START of the "IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" time period,
aka the 7-yr trib)
I've said (over and over) "the wedding FEAST/SUPPER/FESTIVITIES" *is* the promised and prophesied EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom (or at the very least, its inauguration)... located ON THE EARTH, so yes, they are about to "head back down... TO it [
FOR its commencing]"...
--the "HAVING BEEN INVITED" part speaks of the "INVITATION" that has been going on throughout the trib years ON THE EARTH, done by the "inviters" (I already spelled that out in past posts--those "INVITERS" are "on the earth" in/during/within the trib yrs... they are
"INVITING" TO the earthly MK age / "the wedding FEAST/SUPPER" [also "on the earth, i.e. the earthly MK age]... this pertains to "the invited 'GUESTS [
PLURAL]'"--"those [
plural] having been INVITED [perfect tense]" Rev19:
9)...
--"the MARRIAGE" itself (Rev19:
7) is DISTINCT, and pertains to "the Bride/Wife [
SINGULAR]"... and for that, the text just says, "[the marriage]
CAME" (see below) and "[bride/wife]
PREPARED" (see below):
1)
"CAME" - this same word is used HERE:
Matthew 12:42 Greek Text Analysis (biblehub.com) Matt12:42 "[re: queen of the south] she
CAME" (
a long time before this thing that was now being SAID of her, in this text);
2)
"PREPARED" - this same word is used here:
Greek Concordance: ἡτοίμασεν (hētoimasen) -- 3 Occurrences (biblehub.com) , one example:
1Cor2:9 - "has not entered into heart of man, what God
PREPARED for those loving Him." (
How long before this was said in 1Cor2, had He
"PREPARED"?)
My contention is that "the MARRIAGE" itself has taken place IN HEAVEN, by this point (pertaining solely to "the BRIDE/WIFE [
SINGULAR]"), and now they are headed back down to the earth FOR "the marriage FEAST/SUPPER/FESTIVITIES" (the earthly MK, its inauguration... WHERE
those [plural] "
having been INVITED" [
throughout the earthly TRIB yrs], i.e. "the GUESTS [
PLURAL]" [etc], are still-located / have never "lifted off" from,
and don't ever, because "Rapture" does
not pertain to THOSE saints: both OT saints [now 'resurrected' FOR it] and Trib saints [whether having DIED in the trib and now 'resurrected' FOR it; or are 'still-living' like Dan12:12's "BLESSED" and about 8 parallel passages to this, as I've said])
"Blessed and holy
is the one HAVING
A PART IN the resurrection, the first" (not saying this is the fist time ppl are "resurrected," b/c the 2W were already resurrected back at the "6th Trumpet/2nd Woe" at a point in time DISTINCT from when all others are resurrected... and they already "ascended up into Heaven" too, prior to this point in the chronology being referenced now [Rev19]);
--"the resurrection
OF LIFE" (first
in quality--but 1Cor15:23 says, "[
re: resurrection] but
EACH [a word meaning '
OF MORE THAN TWO'] in his own
ORDER [/RANK]" (a word, "RANK," not implying ONLY ONE remaining at one singular point in time); same for where James says, "a
KIND of firstfruit" / "a
CERTAIN firstfruit" (meaning, there is
more that ONE KIND--I've pointed out the
TWO mentions of
"FIRSTFRUIT" in Lev23, and that "the 144,000" [in Rev14:4 wording]
corresponds with [the wording of] the
SECOND of these
TWO mentions of
"FF" in Lev23, being
in v.17 [
re: the "WHEAT" harvest], where it says, "
TWO loaves" and "baken
WITH LEAVEN" [and where I've said, "
WE / the Church
WHICH IS HIS BODY" are
NOT the "WHEAT harvest"]
I've pointed out
1Cor12:12, "For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the
one body, being many, are
one body,
so also is the Christ" (Paul points this out over and over and over, in many different ways)...
see also, Eph5 - "[...]
even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of
his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be
joined unto his wife, and they two shall be
one flesh.
32 This is
a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church."...
Then see also Gen2:22 - "And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman
and brought her to him." (This took place ON THE
SIXTH DAY,
not "the
7th [/the LAST] day" [pertaining to others, as both Job and Martha acknowledged and
KNEW WELL (it was NO "MYSTERY" to them!)].)
...doubt I can convince you...

Have a great day. Peace out.
