The Jewish Wedding Analogy

Fellow Believers, The Being Caught Up Together, REVEALED By Paul, May BE Better Understood, BY Looking AT IT, THROUGH The Analogy OF The Jewish Wedding.

IN The Jewish Wedding, The Groom’s Father MAKES The MATCH AND CHOOSES The Bride AND The Groom APPROVES OF The CHOICE.  Next, A Marriage Covenant IS MADE, IN WRITING, FOR The Bride, AS A Promise TO The Bride, THAT IT WILL BE FULFILLED.  They Would Then BREAK Bread AND Drink FROM The Cup, TO SEAL The Betrothal OF This New Covenant.  The Groom PAYS The Price, Showing The Bride, His LOVE FOR Her.  Next, The Groom Makes A Speech, A Proclamation, A Declaration, OF The PROMISE TO His Bride, That He Would COME FOR Her, SOON.

The Groom PREPARES A Place, FOR His Bride, AND BUILDS A Room Addition ONTO His Father’s House (A Bridal Chamber).  The Father (The Groom’s Father) IS The ONLY One, WHO KNOWS The Day OR Hour OF The Groom’s Return, FOR His Bride.  THEN, The Groom GIVES The Bride, LOVE Gifts.  AND The Father ALSO GIVES The Bride Gifts, TO EQUIP Her FOR Her New Life, AS AN INHERITANCE.  The Bride Would THEN, TAKE A PURIFYING BATH.

The Bride’s Unmarried Friends ATTEND The Bride AND PROVIDE LIGHT For The Groom, Who Will COME, AS A Thief IN The Night.  When The Groom Comes, The Grooms’ Men Run Ahead AND SHOUT, That He IS COMING, BY BLOWING The Shofar.  THEN, The Groom SNATCHES AWAY AND ABDUCTS His Bride.  The Groom TAKES His Bride TO The Bridal Chamber; They CONSUMMATE AND CELEBRATE, FOR A PERIOD OF Seven (7) Days.  The Wedding Party WAITS OUTSIDE, TILL The Groom TELLS The Best Man, IT’s CONSUMMATED.  The Guests REJOICE For A PERIOD OF Seven (7) Days.  Next, There IS A Big Feast (The Wedding Feast), AFTER The Wedding Celebration.  Finally, The New Home OF The Bride WAS Jerusalem AND IT WAS The Groom, Who CAME TO The Bride TO DWELL WITH Her.

Three (3) Groups WERE PRESENT AT The Wedding: The Groom, The Bride, AND The Invited Guests.  Note: The Groom – Jesus Christ, The Bride – Believers (Up Until The Being Caught Up Together), AND The Invited Guests – THOSE Believers SAVED During The Tribulation.

Now, Let’s LOOK AT The Jewish Wedding, IN Reference, TO The Being Caught Up Together.

GOD Almighty, ALONE, PUTS UPON A Person’s Heart, The Desire TO HEAR The TRUTH, The Desire TO Acknowledge The TRUTH, AND The Desire TO ACCEPT The TRUTH, The Gospel OF Jesus Christ, Thereby Becoming Believers (Children OF GOD Almighty).  So, EVERY Believer (The Bride) IS CHOSEN BY GOD Almighty AND Jesus Christ (The Groom) APPROVES THIS CHOICE.  During The Last Supper (The LORD’s Supper) Jesus Christ AND His Disciples Broke Bread AND Drank FROM The Cup, Thereby SEALING The New Covenant.

THEN Jesus Christ DIED Upon The Cross (His Crucifixion), Showing His Unconditional LOVE For His Bride (Believers), AND WAS RAISED, ALIVE, FROM The Tomb, BY THE HAND OF GOD Almighty.  Next Jesus Christ, BEFORE His Ascension, Proclaimed That He Would Return For His Bride (Believers) SOON, THEN He Ascended, ALIVE, INTO Heaven AND SAT DOWN AT The Right Hand OF GOD Almighty.  AND Jesus TOLD Us, ONLY His Father (GOD Almighty) KNOWS The Day OR Hour OF His Return, For His Bride (Believers).

So, The Bride (Believers) IS NOW WAITING, FOR Her Groom (Jesus Christ) TO RETURN.

When The Groom (Jesus Christ) Returns AND SNATCHES AWAY His Bride (Believers), He WILL TAKE His Bride TO The Bridal Chamber (Heaven) For Seven (7) Years, During Which Time, THIS World (Satan’s World) WILL ENDURE The Great Tribulation.

Now, Daniel 9:27 Makes More Sense, AS IT Refers TO The Jewish Wedding Analogy.

Daniel 9:27

“THEN, He (The BEAST/The Antichrist) Shall CONFIRM (Back Up) A Covenant WITH Many For One Week (7 Years); BUT, IN The Middle OF The Week (7 Years), He (The BEAST/The Antichrist) Shall BRING AN END TO Sacrifice AND Offering.  AND ON The Wing OF Abominations, Shall Be One (The BEAST/The Antichrist) Who MAKES DESOLATE, EVEN UNTIL The CONSUMMATION (End of The 7 Years), WHICH IS DETERMINED, IS POURED OUT ON The DESOLATE.”

Now, More About The Being Caught Up Together:

Revelation 3:10

BECAUSE YOU (Pre-Tribulation Living Believers) HAVE KEPT MY (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND TO PERSEVERE, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO, WILL KEEP YOU (THROUGH The Being Caught Up Together), FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL (The Great Tribulation), Which Shall COME UPON The Whole World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (FALSE Believers AND Unbelievers) Who Dwell ON The Earth.

Revelation 4:1

AFTER THESE THINGS, I (John) LOOKED AND Behold, A DOOR STANDING OPEN IN Heaven.  AND The First Voice, WHICH I (John) HEARD WAS LIKE A TRUMPET SPEAKING WITH Me (John), SAYING, “COME UP HERE, AND I WILL SHOW YOU THINGS, WHICH MUST TAKE PLACE, AFTER THIS (The Being Caught Up Together).”

2 Thessalonians 2:6-7

AND NOW YOU (Believers) KNOW WHAT (The Holy Spirit) IS RESTRAINING, That He (The BEAST/The Antichrist) May BE REVEALED, IN His (The BEAST’s/The Antichrist’s) Own Time.  For The Mystery OF Lawlessness IS ALREADY AT WORK (THROUGH Satan); ONLY He (The Holy Spirit) WHO NOW RESTRAINS, WILL DO SO, UNTIL He (The Holy Spirit) IS TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY.

Fellow Believers, IN THIS CASE, The Holy Spirit Represents Pre-Tribulation Living Believers.  After All, The Removal OF Living Believers (Children OF GOD Almighty), FROM THIS WORLD (Satan’s World), Will Make The Arrival OF THE BEAST (The Antichrist), Upon The World Stage, EASILY ACCEPTABLE, By FALSE Believers AND Unbelievers, AND The Establishing OF The One World Government AND The One World Religion, Done WITH Little OR NO Resistance.

1 Corinthians 15:50-53

Now THIS I (Believers) SAY, Brethren (Believers), That Flesh AND Blood (The Natural Body) Can NOT INHERIT The Kingdom OF GOD (GOD Almighty); NOR Does Corruption (The Natural Body) INHERIT INCORRUPTION (The Kingdom OF GOD Almighty).  Behold, I TELL YOU (Believers) A Mystery: We (Believers) Shall NOT All Sleep (Die A Physical Death), BUT We (Believers) Shall All BE CHANGED (The Spiritual Body), IN A Moment, IN The Twinkling of an Eye, AT THE LAST TRUMPET.  FOR THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND, AND The Dead (Dead Believers) WILL BE RAISED, INCORRUPTIBLE (The Spiritual Body), AND We (Living Believers) SHALL BE CHANGED (The Spiritual Body).  FOR THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body) MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body), AND THIS Mortal (The Natural Body) MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body).

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

FOR THE LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, WILL DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The VOICE of an Archangel, AND WITH THE TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty).  AND The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) WILL RISE First.  THEN, We (Living Believers) WHO ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN, SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET THE LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR.  AND THUS We (Believers) SHALL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD (Jesus Christ).

Hebrews 13:12-14

THEREFORE Jesus ALSO, THAT He MIGHT SANCTIFY The People (Believers) WITH HIS OWN BLOOD, SUFFERED Outside The Gate.  THEREFORE, LET Us (Believers) GO FORTH (The Being Caught Up Together) TO Him (Jesus Christ), Outside The Camp (Heaven), BEARING HIS REPROACH.  FOR HERE (Satan’s World), We (Believers) Have NO Continuing City, BUT We (Believers) SEEK THE ONE (The Heavenly Jerusalem) TO COME.

Hebrews 12:22-24

BUT YOU (Believers) HAVE COME TO Mount Zion (Heaven) AND TO THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD (GOD Almighty), THE HEAVENLY Jerusalem, TO AN INNUMERABLE COMPANY OF Angels (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels), TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, WHO ARE REGISTERED IN Heaven, TO GOD (GOD Almighty) THE JUDGE OF ALL, TO The Spirits OF JUST Men (Believers) MADE PERFECT, TO Jesus, THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT, AND TO THE BLOOD OF SPRINKLING, THAT SPEAKS BETTER THINGS, Than That OF Abel.

Fellow Believers, GOD Almighty IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL!

Matthew 10:28

AND Do NOT Fear Those (FALSE Believers AND Unbelievers) Who KILL The Body (The Natural Body), BUT Can NOT Kill The Soul.  BUT, Rather FEAR Him (GOD Almighty) WHO IS ABLE TO DESTROY, BOTH Soul AND Body IN HELL (The Second Death, The Lake OF Fire).

Romans 8:31b

IF GOD (GOD Almighty) IS FOR Us (Believers), Who CAN BE AGAINST Us (Believers)?

2 Thessalonians 3:3

BUT THE LORD (GOD Almighty) IS FAITHFUL, WHO WILL ESTABLISH YOU (Believers) AND GUARD YOU (Believers), FROM The Evil One (Satan).

Hebrews 13:6-7

LET Your (Believers) CONDUCT BE WITHOUT Covetousness; BE CONTENT WITH Such Things AS YOU (Believers) HAVE.  FOR He (Jesus Christ) Himself HAS SAID, “I (Jesus Christ) WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU (Believers) NOR FORSAKE YOU (Believers).”  SO, We (Believers) MAY BOLDLY SAY: “THE LORD (Jesus Christ) IS My Helper; I (Believers) WILL NOT FEAR.  WHAT CAN Man (Mankind) DO TO Me (Believers)?”

THEREFORE, PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD ALMIGHTY AND NEVER TAKE IT OFF!

KEEP THIS IN MIND: The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond.  SO, There IS NO Time TO Waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ.

“SUDDENLY, We (Believers) WILL BE NO MORE; FOR Jesus Christ HAS TAKEN Us!”
