Wedding Feasts Are For More Than Just The Bride & Groom


So go to the thoroughfares where they leave the city [where the main roads and those from the country end] and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find. Matthew 22:9
The Marriage Supper begins right after the wicked and unworthy have been removed from the earth and Jesus returns to rule. Now this is the really cool thing, the Marriage Supper never ends after that!
After that I heard what sounded like the shout of a vast throng, like the boom of many pounding waves, and like the roar of terrific and mighty peals of thunder, exclaiming, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! For now the Lord our God the Omnipotent (the All-Ruler) reigns! Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself. She has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen, dazzling and white--for the fine linen is (signifies, represents) the righteousness (the upright, just, and godly living, deeds, and conduct, and right standing with God) of the saints (God's holy people). Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God. Revelation 19:6-9
We are told that all who are summoned to the Marriage Supper are blessed. This means that all who are allowed to be here during the Millennial Reign of Christ and beyond will be blessed. A wedding feast has more than just the Bride and Groom, it has guests, and all who are here for the celebration are blessed!
That is a really easy Truth to grasp, of course we will be blessed, but the Truth that there are going to be people who are with us, that are not the Bride, is something else. The next couple of days we will study are going to show us that there are others and this Truth should bring us all great peace and joy. The fear of everyone who is not saved, or the Bride, or born again, whatever term we use, goes away when the Truth is revealed that there are guests at the Wedding Feast, which is eternity. Get ready because over the next couple of days the Truth of this is going to be shown!
