A Word about the Bride of Christ

“The wedding of the Lamb” (literally the marriage supper of the Lamb”) is the consummation of the marriage of Christ and the Church as His bride. The figure is in keeping with the Near Eastern pattern of marriage, covering three stages:

(1) the betrothal, legally binding when the individual members of the body of Christ are saved: (2) the coming of the bridegroom for His bride at the rapture of the Church; and (3) the marriage supper of the Lamb, occurring in connection with the second coming of Christ to establish His millennial kingdom. The Lamb’s wife is to be contrasted with the prostitute of Rev. 17:1 and she is also to be distinguished from Israel, the unfaithful wife of the LORD (Jehovah) in historic times, who is to be restored in the millennium (Isa. 54:1-10; Hos. 2:1-7).

Praise the Lord

Welcome to my church blog. I will be writing more at a later date. On January 31st, I will be giving the morning service, “Holding Fast The Word of Life in 2010″ Services begin at 9:00AM Sunday School and church service begins at 10:00AM. Hope to see you there. Just to let you all know, we are having a wonderful Sunday School class studing the book of John. We are currently in chapter 11 and we go verse by verse, discuss what we all think and then we look to McDonald’s commentary to bring that scripture into everday understanding. I welcome any of you to attend this young, middle age adults class.

God bless and have a great day
