You didn't answer my question: What do you see up there? Please describe heaven to me.
I watched the video of a modern day Jewish wedding thqt Mr E shared in post #2 and it looked nothing like a Galilean wedding of old. Actually I can't imagine a Jerusalem wedding at the time resembled a Galilean wedding that closely. It was a bigger town, hustle and bustle, hard working folks with schedules to keep and no time to put on wedding attire and wait for days until the grooms Daddy decides it is time and then celebrate for seven days? I could just imagine the complaints, people knocking on his door, " Come on Jacob, let's get this thing going, many of us have plans, I have to leave town in three days... or What the heck are you waiting for, a dove to fly on your shoulder? ... or maybe Sorry, I can't attend, send them my blessings, gotta go!"
Right, it will soon come, during the Great Tribulation at the 7th Trumpet.
Amen
Those souls in heaven prior to the resurrection are given white robes, and they are asking, "How long oh Lord ..." They have not received their eternal bodies yet because the resurrection has not taken place yet. The GT is still going on. The last trump was not blown. Once it is, Jesus then takes His Bride (all the remaining believers on earth) to heaven and changes ALL, in a twinkling of an eye.
You have and know many things that are Correct according to Scripture.
However, false prophecy(pre-trib rapture) taints the Truth and the Wedding Format.
The Wedding is an on-going celebration that
began with = "HE who has the Bride is the Bridegroom."
Ephesians 2:1-10 "And God raised us up with Christ and
seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus"
Eph2:6 = This takes place In a
True Jewish Wedding/Gospel =
The families and guests have the Bridegroom
sit in a chair and the Bride
sit in another chair facing each other.
Then the Bridegroom and the Bride are
LIFTED UP i
n the air above everyone celebrating with great joy
as they bring
the Bride to the Bridegroom in the AIR =
ABOVE(seated in Christ in Heavenly places).
The Wedding of the Lamb began when Christ chose His Bride and continues TODAY and will continue until His Second Coming.
LOVE is what connects the Bride to the Bridegroom.
"And may the Lord cause you to increase and
overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,
so that He may establish your hearts in
blamelessness and holiness(white wedding garments) before our God and Father
at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. - 1 Thess 3:12
Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
15By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
17After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
The Bride is in Heaven and the Wedding is ongoing and the CALL to the Wedding is ongoing UNTIL =
Matthew ch24 - "And
this gospel of the kingdom(
Wedding Invitation)
will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations,
and
then the end will come."
Revelation ch19 - Then the angel told me to write, “
Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.(GOSPEL)”
And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
