The Marriage Of The Lamb Series

Notice that the text says “his wife hath made herself ready.” It is the bride’s responsibility to get herself ready for the wedding! You and I need to understand that we are to prepare ourselves for that day that is coming as well! You see, verse 8 says that the Bride of Christ will be clothed in white linen and that this linen is the righteousness of the saints! This is the righteousness we are given when we trust the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior - 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

III. V. 9 THE SAINTS

Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. There will be guests at this heavenly wedding. Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. Who? It will be the Old Testament saints and the Tribulation saints. It will be a group made up of all Jews and Gentiles who were saved before Pentecost and after the Rapture! That will be quite an assembly! The Lord Jesus is going to present His Bride with a celebration that will last 1,000 years! After the wedding, we will return with Him to this earth. He will put down His enemies and establish His throne on this earth. Then, He and His bride will reign together, during the millennium, for 1,000 years! Imagine what it will be to be in the presence of the Lord Jesus and reigning with Him for 1,000 years on earth! When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be? When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout victory! When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout victory!
