"The Bride Of Christ"

"Blessed Are Those Who Are Called To 
The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb!" 
Revelation 19:9

The day is coming when those who know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will take part in the Marriage Supper Of The Lamb. Our Groom, Jesus, will invite us, His Bride, to this glorious meal and we will be dressed in fine linen representing the righteous acts of the saints. 

As a result, we need to be ready for the Marriage Supper Of The Lamb at all times. Matthew 25:6-13 says, "At midnight a cry was heard, 'behold, The Bridegroom is coming; go out to meet Him!' then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise answered, saying 'no, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell and buy for yourselves.' And while they went to buy, The Bridegroom came and those who were ready went in with Him to the wedding and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' But He answered and said, 'assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming." We need to be ready for the coming of our Bridegroom at all times!  

There is another aspect of The Bride of Christ that is rarely discussed. The land of Israel will also be married to Christ. Isaiah 62:4 says, "You shall no longer be termed Forsaken nor shall your land anymore be termed Desolate; but you shall be called Hephzibah and your land Beulah; for The Lord delights in you and your land shall be married." When we look at the Hebrew interpretation of this verse we find that Hephzibah means "My delight is in her" and Beulah means "married." This verse is saying Our Lord God takes delight in the land of Israel and will marry her in the future. Hallelujah!  

As the Bride of Christ, we need to always have oil for our lamps expecting Jesus to come for His Bride at any moment. Additionally, I pray for each of us to continue praying for Israel as this message emphasizes the extreme importance of the land of Israel to our Lord God.

May The Lord Bless You This Day And Each Day,
