Revelation 19:9
19:9 Then he said to me, "Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’"And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God."
The marriage supper of the Lamb of God is the meeting between Jesus in glory as the King of kings and Heavenly Bridegroom with the perfect Church as His Bride on glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time.
Afterwards, we enter the kingdom of peace a thousand years (Revelation 20) and New Jerusalem or eternal heavenly kingdom (Revelation 21-22).
To enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God, we have to receive the invitation of the Bridegroom, namely Bride Tiding.
Matthew 25:6
25:6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’
The only one tiding cried and needed at midnight or the last days is Bride Tidings.
We need the Bride Tiding or the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ in order to face these two things:
Afterwards, we have to receive Bride Tiding or teaching Wordsharper than any two-edged sword to prepare us as the Bride of God who is perfect and worthy of entering the marriage supper of the Lamb of God or we receive Jesus’ second coming.
Receiving the invitation, the Bride Tiding prepares us to enable us to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God.
There are three kinds of preparation to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God as follows:
Revelation 19:9
19:9 Then he said to me, "Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’"And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God."
The marriage supper of the Lamb of God is the meeting between Jesus in glory as the King of kings and Heavenly Bridegroom with the perfect Church as His Bride on glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time.
Afterwards, we enter the kingdom of peace a thousand years (Revelation 20) and New Jerusalem or eternal heavenly kingdom (Revelation 21-22).
To enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God, we have to receive the invitation of the Bridegroom, namely Bride Tiding.
Matthew 25:6
25:6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’
The only one tiding cried and needed at midnight or the last days is Bride Tidings.
We need the Bride Tiding or the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ in order to face these two things:
- The darkest darkness in the last days.
- To welcome Jesus’ second coming on glorious clouds.
Afterwards, we have to receive Bride Tiding or teaching Wordsharper than any two-edged sword to prepare us as the Bride of God who is perfect and worthy of entering the marriage supper of the Lamb of God or we receive Jesus’ second coming.
Receiving the invitation, the Bride Tiding prepares us to enable us to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God.
There are three kinds of preparation to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God as follows:
- THE GARMENT OF BRIDE.
Revelation 19:7-8
19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
19:8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
It is the fine linen, clean, and bright.- Clean fine linen refers to holiness.
- The brightness comes out of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12-13
4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two–edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
The true teaching Word pierces or sanctifies us up to the deepest part of our heart and mind which are full of sinful lusts.
There are two kinds of sinful lust in our heart and mind as follows:- Unclean lust causing sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage. It refers to the birds.
Be alert! The birds nest to produce eggs, meaning that the kept sins will not become passive but breed or increase. - Wicked lust or the lust of money, referring to the wolf.
I Timothy 6:10
6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
The practice is as follows:- Stinginess or one cannot give but tends to ask always as Bartimaeus, a beggar.
A pastor who begs must be blind, meaning there is no revelation of the Word and the congregation will only be led to go to pit.
Likewise, the congregation should not serve God only to get physical blessings or else the house of God is made as a place of idolatry. - Greediness or seizing the possession of other people.
Giving equals to righteous act. - Stinginess or one cannot give but tends to ask always as Bartimaeus, a beggar.
Be alert!
Satan has been trying to make human naked since the time of human in Garden Eden.
Satan has been trying to hinder us to serve and minister God. Not being willing to serve and minister God equals to being naked.
If we keep serving and ministering God, Satan tries to make us naked through uncleanness and wickedness sins. - Clean fine linen refers to holiness.
- THE CROWN OF BRIDE = the crown of glory that cannot fade away.
Song of Solomon 3:11
3:11 Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And see King Solomon with the crown With which his mother crowned him On the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness of his heart.
Revelation 12:1
12:1. Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
I Peter 5:4
5:4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
The process to get the crown of the bride is as follows:
II Timothy 4:7-8
4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
4:8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
The crown of the Bride is given to people who have been died or still alive until Jesus comes a second time.
The important thing is we have to keep our faith during our lifetime.
The Bride Tiding makes us strong and of good courage to be able to keep our faith until the end line, namely we die or Jesus comes a second time.
The practice of keeping the faith is as follows:- We keep on believing in Jesus although we have to face many temptations, threats, and hindrances.
We do not become hopeless or disappointed.
We do not leave Jesus and we do not hope in other things outside the Word. We do not depart our faith. - We keep holding fast the true teaching Word until the end line.
The true teaching Word is the word of Jesus Himself, whose signs are as follows:- Being written in bible.
- Being revealed through a verse explaining other verses.
- Being written in bible.
- We keep faithful and fervent in spirit in our service and ministry the Lord has trusted to us until the end line.
(I Peter 5:4- and when the Chief Shepherdappears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.)
The shepherded one is as a tree planted by the river which will never fade away or dry until receiving the crown of glory when Jesus comes a second time.
We will be endurable facing anything if we are in the shepherding.
Wandering, we will be dry and fade away until being cursed forever. - We keep on believing in Jesus although we have to face many temptations, threats, and hindrances.
- THE VOICE OF BRIDE.
Revelation 19:6-7
19:6And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
Heavenly Bride is the body of Christ.
The voice of the bride is only "Alleluia".
The Bride Tiding encourages us to the true worship or the worship of the bride saying "Alleluia".
We worship Jesus as the King of kings and Heavenly Bridegroom.
The requirement is as follows:
Revelation 14:2-3
14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder.And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.
14:3 They sang as it were a new songbefore the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty–four thousandwho were redeemed from the earth.
Revelation 19:6-7
19:6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia!For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
The hundred and forty–four thousand people refer to the core of the Bride from the twelve tribes of the house of Israel.
The sound of many waters and the sound of mighty thundering refer to the new song or the voice of the Bride.
The new song points to ALLELUIA.
Formerly, men were created with one language but then they were scattered over the world because of trying to go to heaven through building the tower of Babel.
Someday, we will be brought back to the one voice and one language, namely "Alleluia".
Thus, the requirement of having the true worship or the new songis the death and resurrection experience or cross experience together with Jesus.
The manifestations of the cross experience are various and private, but the results are same as follows:- Being dead to sin.
- Raising in new life, namely life in righteousness without any lie but obedience until the flesh does not sound anymore.
Revelation 14:5
14:5 And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Philippians 2:8
2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
The example of obedience until the flesh does not sound anymore is Jesus who does not sin at all but He is willing to die on the cross to obey the will of Father God.
In addition, Abraham obeyed the command of God to offer Isaac.
When we can cry 'Alleluia' with the cross experience and the encouragement of the true teaching Word, Jesus, the King, is in the midst of us.
The results are as follows:- We experience the power of the King to pour out the rain of blessings for us.
Zechariah 14:17
14:17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain.
Jesus must be willing to die and bear all curses of our sins, and then He can be able to pour out the rain of blessings for us.
The physical rain of blessings is to preserve our daily life, future life, up to the eternal one.
The spiritual rain of blessings is when we can receive the revelation of the Word of God and the blessings of heavenly joy. - We experience the power of the King to defeat the death.
I Corinthians 15:25-26
15:25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
15:26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
The result is as follows:- We are justified and saved spiritually and physically.
- We are delivered from fear, meaning we have peace and quietness and all things become easy and light.
- All problems are settled.
- We are justified and saved spiritually and physically.
- We experience the power of the King or Heavenly Bridegroom to renew us little by little until we are perfect as His Bride.
Ephesians 5:25-27
5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
5:27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
James 3:2
3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
We will be renewed continually until we do not stumble in word but we are perfect and our mouth only says 'Alleluia'.
- Being dead to sin.
