The term \u201cbride of the Lamb\u201d in Revelation 19 signifies Heavenly Mother. However, there are those who argue that it refers to the church (saints).<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLet us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.\u201d \nRev 19:7<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Bride and Those Who Are Invited in Revelation 19<\/h2>\n
In the heavenly wedding banquet described in Revelation 19, there are the bridegroom, the bride, and the invited guests who partake in the wedding supper.<\/p>\n
\nThen the angel said to me, \u201cWrite this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.\u201d \nRev 19:9<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Since they are referred to as \u201cthose who are invited,\u201d they cannot be identified as the bridegroom and the bride. This is because it is the role of the bridegroom and the bride to extend invitations to their guests, not themselves. Thus, it is clear that the bride and the invited guests are distinct entities.<\/p>\n
If the bride were to represent the saints, then who would be the invited guests? Those who are invited are indeed the saints who will receive the blessing of eternal life. Therefore, in Revelation 19:7, the bride of the Lamb does not denote the saints, but rather Heavenly Mother\u2014the Savior who extends invitations to the saints and bestows blessings upon them.<\/p>\n
Jesus\u2019 Parable of the Heavenly Wedding Banquet<\/h2>\n
In the Parable of the Heavenly Wedding Banquet that Jesus narrated, the saints are consistently depicted as \u201cthose who are invited\u201d\u2014the guests, not as the bride.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. . . . The wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, \u2018How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?\u2019 The man was speechless. . . . For many are invited, but few are chosen.\u201d\nMt 22:1\u201314<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In this parable, the son of the king symbolizes Jesus, who came as the Son of God. As for the guests who are invited, they represent the saints, as indicated by the term \u201cchosen.\u201d In another parable, Jesus compared the saints to the guests at the wedding banquet.<\/p>\n
\nNow John\u2019s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, \u201cHow is it that John\u2019s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cHow can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.\u201d\nMk 2:18\u201320<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
When questioned by some people about why His disciples were not fasting, Jesus responded by saying that the guests of the bridegroom could not fast while they had him with them. This implies that Jesus\u2019 disciples were the guests of the bridegroom. In essence, Jesus likened the saints to the guests at the wedding banquet, not to the bride.<\/p>\n
Hence, in the heavenly wedding banquet, the wife of the Lamb\u2014the bride\u2014does not represent the church (saints), but Heavenly Mother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The term \u201cbride of the Lamb\u201d in Revelation 19 signifies Heavenly Mother.
