Following the seven days in the huppah or bridal chamber the bride and bridegroom joined their guests for a joyous marriage feast with singing, dancing, music and much merriment. Jewish weddings in ancient times were not considered complete until they were consummated. This was the very reason for the couple’s seclusion.
Revelation 19:6-9: "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! 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. 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.' 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.'"
Just like the ancient Jewish wedding, there will be shouts of joy and dancing (yes, dancing) and how exciting it will be. The Bride will dance for joy with her Bridegroom, King Jesus.
We will rule and reign with Him forever. For those of us who look forward to the marriage supper of the Lamb, we must go out to the highways and byways and extend an invitation to others to come.
Revelation 2:17: "And the spirit and the bride say Come! And let him who hears say, Come! And let him who thirsts, Come; and whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely."
Revelation 22:20: "Surely I am coming quickly.' Even so, Come Lord Jesus, Come!"
BEHOLD, HE COMES!
