To rejoice at Thy birth.

Will thou pass over me today?

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 Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the next event after the first phase of the second coming of Christ (the rapture).

LESSON OUTLINES
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MARRIAGE
2. IMPORTANCE AND QUALIFICATION

DESCRIPTION OF THE MARRIAGE

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the consummation of the union between Christ (The Bridegroom) and the Church (the Bride-without spot or wrinkles) – Ephesians 5:27; Revelation 19:1-9; Matthew 22:1-14.

The marriage will take place before the second phase of 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 (Revelation 21:2). It is believed that the marriage supper will take place in Heaven (Revelation 19:9).

IMPORTANCE AND QUALIFICATION

The marriage supper of the Lamb is meant to assemble the saints of all ages and present them to God, the Father (Matthew 25:32-35), who will wipe away tears from their faces (Revelation 7:17).

It is also to take away the saints from the earth before the activities of the anti-Christ and the period of the tribulation (Isaiah 57:1). It will also be the period to reward faithful and diligent saints.

Those who will qualify for The Marriage Supper of the Lamb are the saints of God, whose garments of righteousness have not been stained – Revelation 21:27; Hebrews 12:14.

CONCLUSION: The marriage Supper of the Lamb, like all biblical prophecies, will be fulfilled. 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.
