The bride has made herself ready . I mean this is in several parts . JESUS identified as bridegroom, beleivers identified as the bride . And the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee. Its all about where it talks about we the body , and that body is the body of Christ . Where Christ is the head . I mean this language is all over . Let us be glad and rejoice , and give honor to Him , for the marriage of the lamb has come and his WIFE has made herself ready . believers are the bride of Christ , body of Christ . Come hither , I will show thee the bride , the Lambs WIFE . Its all over the place . JOHN was one of JESUS first disciples and look what he was told in revelation . I mean BRIDE of the LAMB. who we think THE LAMB IS . ITS CHRIST so it sure can be said BRIDE OF CHRIST . - The only one reference to "The Bride" on this earth being with "The Bridegroom" was when He was on earth with them. - John 3:29 There arose a dispute between John The Baptist's Disciples & The Jews about "Purifying". So they come to John and throw it up to him that Jesus Whom John Was With is now baptizing (purifying) and all are coming to Him. which John said, 'a man receives nothing unless it be given Him from heaven... ...He that has The (living-purified) Bride (With Him) is The Bridegroom; BUT The Friends Of The Bridegroom who stand and hear Him Rejoice greatly because of The Bridegroom's Voice, this my joy is full..." 1.) "The (purified) Bride" (not OF Christ). But 'received from Heaven'. God The Father chooses The Bride for The Bridegroom so the Receiving of them as His Bride is 'from heaven' and not Of Christ. 2.) There is also The Friends of The Bridegroom. John of the tribe of Levi did not consider himself The Bride but A Friend Of The Bridegroom. Jesus told His 12 Apostles Of The Lamb: "Did I Not Choose You And One Of You Is A Devil" - Not everyone who is a Believer is 'The Bride'. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we read the first line of Rebelafjon, “This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John..” (Revelation 1:1). Immediately one thinks this is the revelation or vision from Jesus of what is going to happen and if is, but Revelation has many meanings in Greek and layers: “ἀποκάλυψις, εως, ἡ Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: apokalupsis Phonetic Spelling: (ap-ok-al'-oop-sis) Short Definition: an unveiling, uncovering, revealing Definition: an unveiling, uncovering, revealing, revelation.” (Strong’s Dictionary). Notice it says the unveiling and uncovering. Is this only in uncovering mystery of the end times? No, because word apocalypse or Revelation is feminine; which denotes the unveiling of the Bride by the Bridegroom. Jesus is the Bridegroom and we are the Bride (Revelation 19:6-9). I do believe it is also the revealing of Jesus Himself as He comes to show himself to the world and rule it for thousand years (Revelation 21:4-9).

The Lord knows who His bride is. In the parables he spoke there will be a separation of the sheep from the goats and the chafe from the wheat. We see the church today as denominations. Gobs and gobs of them. Each have their own interpretation , beliefs , and doctrines. God see no denominations in His kingdom, only those who truly love Him. Two will be in the pew one will be taken and the other one left. In the parable of the five wise and the five foolish the door was open only to the ones who were ready. We see each other from the outside but Jesus sees from the inward parts. The great testing of the bride will come and you find them before God Rev. 15:1,2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand.16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord (Jesus, see Phillipians 2:4-11, Romans 10:9-10), the veil is taken away.” (2 Corinthians 3:14-16).

Yeah Judas was not "A Friend Of The Bridegroom". In the bible there are spoken of: 'false brethren', 'false Prophets', 'false Apostles', 'false way', 'false witness' 'True Worshipers' but No True Believers & No Bride Of Christ.

Christ has to tear tha viel so that we could be unveiled at the Return. Jesus has been remov Mg the veil all along, First He tire down the veil of sin and separation with His blood and sacrifice on the cross and then when He returns He shall gather us and unveil us as His Bride (Revelation 19:6-9). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Fidei I like that you chose to include this post in general discussion. I do think we can often make things far more complicated than that they were meant to be.

Thanks Annette, I enjoy leading a discussion directed on the point of the apocalypse, Jesus returning and Bride meeting Him in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they overcame him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and they loved not their life unto the death. Give me silver and gold tried in the fire. The great day of testing is yet to come. Are we ready? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
