This fact that men shall partake of the marriage supper of the Lamb, might seem to good to be true if it wasn't a promise of God.First the false harlot-church is to be judged,and then the true bride of Christ is to be acknowledged and honored.Those who are called to this glorious occasion, must possess the faith which is the price of admission.They love the bridegroom and the bride.They are prepared,dressed in the wedding garment of santification,and they watch day and night, with their lamps burning, having enough oil to carry them through the darkest hours of the night.Those who are called will be admitted, and those admitted will be married,and those married to Jesus will be the truly blessed.
How blessed it will be to those "called" ones to "sit down" at the "marriage supper of the Lamb". He who once hung so sad upon the cross for every one will look around that bright company and behold the fruit of His suffering.He will "see the travail of His soul ,and will be satisfied".It will be the eternal union of God fulfilled in its deepest counsel: a people given to Christ that day, all chosen,all gathered, all washed, all saved, and not one of them lost.Not saying our Lord will love us more then than He does now,but He will indulge his love for us more;He will manifest it more,we shall see more of it, we shall understand it better.He will lay open His whole heart and soul to us,with all its feelings,and secrets,and purposes,and allow us to know them.The love of this hour will be the perfection of love.The marriage feast, will be the feast,the triumph, of love,the exalted Savior showing to the whole universe that He loves us to the utmost,and we loving Him with a fervor,a gratitude, an adoration, a delight, that are new, and if we are overwhelmed,God Himself will wipe the tears from our eyes.
The provisions made by Him for our enjoyment will astonish us.We shall find it a monarch's feast.It will have delights for us,of which we have no conception;the pleasures we anticipate in it will be far higher and more abundant than our highest expectations.We will have provisions made for us,which will not befit our rank and condition,but according to the rank, condition, the greatness,and the magnificence, of a glorious God.All who are admitted will be truly blessed!
Thanks...
