INTRODUCTION
Marriage, in this context, symbolises the union between Christ and the Church - Ephesians 5:22-32. It is, however, important to note that the second coming of Christ is the next event after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. May the Holy Spirit teach us and bless us richly as we look at this topic in details- DanieI7:13; 1 Timothy 6:14; Acts 1:10-11.

WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE IS THE MARRIAGE?
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the consummation of the union between Christ, the Bridegroom, and the Church (without spot or wrinkles) - Eph.5:27; Rev.19:1-14; Matt.22:1-14; Matt.25:1-13. It is one of the greatest biblical prophesies. The marriage will take place before the second coming of Christ to the earth. Christ is the Bridegroom. The wife is the redeemed or saints of all ages who will have part in the first resurrection and who will live in the New Jerusalem forever Rev.2:9-10; Rev.21:2.

IT’S IMPORTANCE

  1. To assemble the saints for the last supper with Christ.
  2. To present the just of all ages to God the Father and fulfil their main eternal purpose.
  3. To wipe away tears from the faces of the saints.
  4. To take away the saints from the earth before the activities of the anti-Christ.
  5. To take away the saints before the tribulation.

 

WHO QUALIFIES FORTHE MARRIAGE?
Those who will qualify for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb must be those who belong to Christ - 2 Cor.5:17, earnestly desiring His second coming and watching - Matt.25:1-13. "Included are those whose patience and visions are not darkened. Also, those who do not get distracted and lose focus completely before the Bridegroom comes, those whose holiness is not polluted and their garment not stained and those whose garment is righteousness and always right on time Matthew 21 :10-14; Rev.21 :8-27; Hebrews 12:14. Also included are those that obey His commandments and whose citizenship is in Heaven Revelations 22:14-15; Eph.2:16; Matthew7:21-23.

CONCLUSION
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, like all biblical prophecies, will be fulfilled. Our Lord Jesus Christ will have His last supper with the Church without spots or wrinkles. Are you a member of His kingdom? Do you earnestly desire it? You cannot afford to miss it. Pray to God to keep you standing in Him and count you worthy of this great and unique event.
