Today I want to talk about the marriage supper of the Lamb. Now we find the timing of the marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation 19. The Bible reads in verse number six, and I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude and as the voice of many waters and as the voice of mighty thundering saying, Alleluia, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. So right there we see that the timing of the marriage supper of the Lamb is in Revelation 19 when Jesus Christ comes on the white horse. Of course a few verses later that's going to be described. He comes on the white horse to set up his millennial kingdom. And the Bible says that that is the time when the marriage of the Lamb is come. Now those who believe in a pre-trib rapture, they believe that the rapture is going to happen before the tribulation and that we're going to be up in heaven for seven years eating the marriage supper of the Lamb, or I've heard them say we're going to be honeymooning up there in heaven for seven years. Well the problem with that is that the Bible says that the marriage of the Lamb is come in Revelation 19, which is after the tribulation and after God has already poured out all his wrath. And the seven vials of his wrath have already been pointed out. He's already destroyed Babylon and now here in chapter 19 he's saying the marriage of the Lamb is come. So how is that compatible with us eating the marriage supper of the Lamb up in heaven for seven years? So some that believe in a pre-trib rapture will say well according to Jewish custom, and whenever I hear them start talking about Jewish custom I pretty much know that false doctrine is coming because the Bible gives us everything we need to know about doctrine. We don't need to go to some Jewish rabbi to get doctrine, but they'll say well the Jewish custom is that they would have a seven day feast before the wedding. So if the wedding is in chapter 19 they've already been having the seven day feast, which they're basically saying that the seven day feast is symbolic of the seven year feast. Well here's the problem with that doctrine. Look up all the marriages in the Bible. Look up all the weddings in the Bible and you will not find this concept of a Jewish custom of a seven day wedding feast. The only place that you'll find in the Bible something like that is in the book of Judges and it was a Philistine wedding. Let me read it for you. It says in verse 12 of Judges 14, and Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. So when you look up all the weddings in the Bible, they're all taking place in the course of a day. All the other marriages and weddings don't give any indication of being a seven day thing. The only seven day wedding that I could find in the Bible was this Philistine wedding where Samson goes down to the land of the Philistines and has a wedding in their country amongst their friends and their family. It's their customs and I do not believe for one second that Jesus Christ is patterning his second coming after a Philistine wedding ceremony. And so instead of telling us that Christ's coming is going to be based on a Jewish wedding tradition, maybe they should say it's a Philistine wedding tradition because that's the only place that we see it in the Bible. And I'm not going to get my doctrine from an anti-Christ rabbi who doesn't even believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You know the Bible is real clear that the rapture comes after the tribulation. Read Matthew 24, read Mark 13, read Luke 21 instead of going to Jewish customs and Jewish fables and commandments of men that turn from the truth. This is a Philistine wedding practice of having a seven day feast. That's the only place I see it. I don't see it in Leviticus. I don't see it in Numbers. I don't see it in Deuteronomy. I don't see God teaching this. I see the world doing this.
