Revelation

Chapter 19

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:7 KJV
SJR's Note
Mar 4
See also Revelation 21:9 about the bride of Christ. In chapter 21, it's the city "the holy Jerusalem" and in this chapter it's the saints. Also, "is come" means "right now" and indicates that the marriage is immediately following the trumpet and vial judgements. At a wedding, "the bride" becomes the bride on the wedding day, not before. So, "the church" as of yet isn't "the bride" as most Christians believe because the wedding hasn't happened yet. This distinction is important because Revelation 17:1-5 describes "the great whore" which is apostate Christianity and is NOT the bride.
