The Kingdom Wedding, Thy Maker Is Thine Husband By Pastor
Murray
The Wedding,
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, Thy Marker is
Thine Husband
The wedding, the marriage supper of the
Lamb, His Bride, Virgins vs His Wife,
Widows
In the simple and natural sense God teaches His emotions as they relate with our own
feeling. The kingdom of heaven which is the King and His dominion is just like a
wedding and all are invited.
Jeremiah 31:32 Not according to the
covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took
them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which
My covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto
them, saith the Lord:
God Divorced the 12 tribes of Israel,
Why backsliding Israel committed adultery, His Wife,
Jeremiah 3
The Wedding of the Last Day,
His Bride, Virgins, The
very elect are
the bride of the Lamb. All that waits and
know of the wedding feast and marriage to Christ, our husband, shall
soon take place.
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and
they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Matthew 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto
him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
-
Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Question of Disciples
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you
to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them
it is not given.
-
The Mysteries, the secrets or the things hither
to kept secret.
-
Because it is given unto, "those
that will be doers", "those that will act on it", and teach the word.
-
It is given to them that want to study and teach
God's word
-
If you can just get one to hears God's word and
the seed will grow, it is important to God.
-
God loves
His children.
7000, God's Very Elect, Many Are From All
Tribes of Israel and All Races, His Bride, Virgins
Isaiah 62:5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall
thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over
the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
The kingdom wedding takes place in three stages.
-
It began in the world that was
and it is spoken of in Romans 1, when God set aside those that over came Satan.
-
He judged and justified them and
He took them to
bride.
-
This doesn't make them
better than anyone else it simply means they already stood against Satan.
-
God
will intervene in their lives to accomplish His purpose.
God is more natural than we are, therefore He can see natural things, such as
marriage to help us better understand the emotions and feeling that
He relates
to us.
-
Man was created for our Father's pleasure and companionship.
-
His feeling
for His creation is like that of a man and wife, who through the reunion of
marriage have become one.
-
From the beginning of time the marriage festival was a
great event.
-
In Ephesians 5, Paul explains that Christ is to His church as a man
is to his wife.
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven
be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went
forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were
wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish
took their lamps, and took no oil with them
4 But the
wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While
the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
-
Olive oil is symbolic of truth
-
Without oil, the lamp and Holy Spirit are
quenched. No truth; no light
-
Vessels = Containing oil, to pour on the torches
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew
to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good
into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the
world: the angels shall come forth, and
sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire:
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all
these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Revelation 20 After the millennium, after all
see Christ face to face = After All are taught
God's word = after Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison for
short season = then if they follow Satan they
will be cast in the lake of fire.
-
Revelation 20:8 Many will follow Satan
Luke 23:29
For, behold, the
days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the
barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never
gave suck.
When Christ said, "Blesses are those that are barren''.
-
He spoke of all souls
whether they were in widowhood (already married) or virgin brides awaiting their
husband.
-
Blessed are those that are faithful to Him.
-
When a spouse
returns after years of absence and finds their love carrying a small child it is
obvious he has been betrayed.
-
Can you not understand the emotion regardless of
gender?
-
It is no different spiritually. If you take on the spiritual beliefs of
ant-christ from the small seed to total impregnation of Satan's deception, you
betray your husband to be.
-
To those Christ shall say, ''I don't even know you''.
-
In Matthew 24, Christ said, ''Woe to them who are with child''?
-
He is speaking again to
those who though they were serving Him. But were too caught up
in the world's traditions and spurious teachings to know who they were marrying.
Isaiah 54:4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded;
for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy
youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
- They won't be ashamed because they were barren or confused
by the traditions and teachings in the name of Christ in this
earth age.
Isaiah 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
- He is our maker. The creator of your soul that inhabits the
flesh body.
- You are to honor and respect your earthly parents,
but your Maker that created your soul is your husband,
spiritually.
- He made
you for His pleasure and companionship.
6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
- Do you understand the importance, God places on you with that
statement?
- What greater honor could be bestowed on any creation?
- The next event in the kingdom wedding happens at the end of
this earth age.
- Revelation 14 tells us the virgins spoken of are the only
partakers at this point and Christ explains why in Matthew 22.
144,000 Are of the 12 tribes of Israel, His Wife
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him
an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in
their foreheads.
-
The Vision is in heaven; for the
singers stand before the Throne, and they are with the
Lamb.
-
The Lamb standing on Mount Sion with his
company.
-
Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto
mount Sion, and unto the
city of the
living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of
angels,
-
Notice Satan's tribulation is over, Christ has return and He's with
His people
-
Notice in verse 3 = the 144,000 were
redeemed from the earth
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of
many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of
harpers harping with their harps:
- The voice of God, speaking from heaven. The Vision is in heaven
- I heard = The voice which I heard (was that) of harpers
- Harpers = accompanying
3 And they sung as it were a new
song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no
man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which
were redeemed from the earth.
-
These Beast here are = zoon = a live thing = these
are at the Throne of God
-
The Vision is in heaven; for the
singers stand before the Throne, and they are with the
Lamb.
-
He is not yet descended to the
Earth.
-
144,000 which
were redeemed from the earth
-
Redeemed = purchased = Rendered "buy"
7000, God's Very Elect =
Many Are From All
Tribes of Israel and Many From All Races
Which no man could number, of
all
nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a
great multitude, which no man could number, of
all
nations, and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Revelation 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying
unto me, What are these which are arrayed in
white robes? and
whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.
And he said to me, These are they which came
out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and
serve
him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them
The Parable of Those ''Called'' To The Wedding
Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a
marriage for
his son,
- The king in this parable is the
Holy Father and the son is Christ.
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and
they would not come.
- Who was sent forth? His apostles, Peter, James, Paul, etc.
- John the
Baptist, the last of a long list of prophets
Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man
which had not on a wedding garment:
- The garment of the righteous
acts. .
- That person never knew Christ, the word of God. Christ will say,
I never knew you
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding
garment? And he was speechless.
- Why was he speechless?
- The wedding garment, is your righteous acts, your works.
- When you die, the only thing you can take with you is, your
righteous acts, some will be naked in heaven.
- They do not have
any works; means they never done anything for God.
- Revelation 19:8 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.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called
unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
- And he saith unto me,
These are the true sayings of God.
-
Notice the word ''called''.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him
away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
- That person didn't even know what he did wrong.
- He was cast
into outer darkness (this is left side of the
gulf in heaven) bound
by the word to be taught in the millennium.
- They will not be
able to partake of the kingdom wedding until it's consummation
at the end of the millennium.
- This final event in the wedding
takes place at the great white throne of judgment and there
shall never be another.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
- Few shall partake in the soon coming wedding of our Lord.
- God's Very Elect
- God shows the
love, importance and responsibly, He places on His chosen.
-
He sent out His servants with invitations to
His wedding, but few are chosen
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit
and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And
let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely.
- John has come back to the earth from heaven to deliver a
message that extends from John's time to the consummation of the
kingdom wedding.
- How can he equate the Spirit, which
is the Holy Spirit with the bride?
- The spirit speaks through the bride to call all
to His wedding.
- How precious is His charge and it is through
love and understanding she returns her commitment.
Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and
pained to be delivered.
-
The birth of a new age, travailing in birth
-
If
Christ comes back and find you chasing another husband meaning Satan, you
did not wait on Christ, you are in bed with Satan.
-
If you are worshipping Satan, you did not wait for Christ, you are helping Satan bring in
Babylon, confusion, his flood of lies.
-
Revelation 19:9
And he saith unto me, Write,
Blessed are
they which are
called unto
the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me,
These are the true sayings of God.
-
With child means you did not
wait on The Lord, to the marriage supper of the Lamb
2 Corinthians
11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and
indeed bear with me.
2 For I am
jealous over you with
godly
jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that
I may present you as
a chaste
virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means,
as the serpent beguiled Eve through
his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ.
-
Do not be
deceived as Eve,
by the
serpent
-
The
serpent
wholly seduce her by deceiving her,
through his trickery or sophistry.
-
Beguiled: to seduce wholly, deceive, of
uncertain derivation; to cheat
-
Subtilty: trickery or sophistry
Matthew 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took
no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
-
Psalms 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for
our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not
enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and
buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they
that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door
was shut.
Revelation 19:8
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.
9 And he
saith unto me, Write,
Blessed are
they which are
called unto
the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are
the true sayings of God.
-
Notice the word ''called''.
Revelation 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and
lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she
saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall
see no sorrow.
-
Why does she consider herself ''no
widow''? She has prematurely wed the wrong husband.
-
Israel is the widow and shall be
the bride of the Lamb.
-
The elect of Israel, they wait and
know our wedding feast and marriage to Christ, our husband, shall
soon take place.
-
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and
a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of
heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he
will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself
shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away.
Revelation 18:23 And the light
of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of
the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in
thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by
thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Matthew 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the
children of the bride chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is
with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be
taken from them, and then shall they fast.
Luke 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men
that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding;
that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him
immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord
when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that
he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and
will come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come
in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them
so, blessed are those servants. 39 And this know, that if
the good man of the house had known
what hour the thief would
come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to
be broken through. 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the
Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 41 Then
Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us,
or even to all? 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that
faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over
his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing. 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that
he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

God's Very Elect =
Many Are From All
Tribes of Israel and Many From All Races
There will be
many from each tribes of Israel that are Virgins, Bride that didn't follow
Satan's One World order
Which no man could number, of
all
nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, they are before the throne of God.
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a
great multitude, which no man could number, of
all
nations, and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Revelation 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying
unto me, What are these which are arrayed in
white robes? and
whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.
And he said to me, These are they which came
out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and
serve
him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them.
Ezekiel 44-48
God Divorced Israel, Thou hast
Played the Harlot With Many Lovers
Jeremiah 3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and
become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be
greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return
again to me, saith the Lord.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien
with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and
thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter
rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my
youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou
hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6 The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that
which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and
under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she
returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed
adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her
treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
-
God divorced Israel = backsliding Israel
committed adultery
-
Isaiah 54:1
Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing,
and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are
the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
-
Isaiah 54:4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be
ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to
shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not
remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5 For thy Maker
is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer
the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be
called.
Jeremiah 3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled
the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me
with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more
than treacherous Judah.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou
backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon
you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord
thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree,
and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and
I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to
Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you
with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land,
in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant
of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it;
neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the
nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem:
neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and
they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have
given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
7th trump, New Jerusalem Comes With
Christ,
New Jerusalem, Coming Down From God
Out of
Heaven
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new
heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away; and there was no more sea.
-
The millennium Temple in Ezekiel 48:35 It was
round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the
city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.
-
The word
''new'' in Greek is ''kinnos'', which means ''freshness or renew''.
-
It is
not a completely new operation, but a renewing of the old.
-
The word
rejuvenation would be more fitting.
-
The fact
that there will be no more sea can mean two things.
-
We know
that if all the people who had ever lived were to return, there
would not be adequate living space.
-
However,
if the seas disappeared and we had terra firma around the whole
globe, there would be.
-
The
earth would be watered with a mist that covered the whole earth.
-
It would
be watered each night, evenly, in such a way that we would not have
rain or storms.
-
We could
also interpret this sea to mean that masses of confused people would
be ''no more''.
-
Refers to Isaiah 65, New Heavens and earth
2 And I John
saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
-
This is
post millennium.
-
Note,
this is not old Jerusalem as we know it now. But the
heavenly Jerusalem. For He brings it with Him.
-
Heaven in Revelation 3:12
Him that overcometh will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and
I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the
city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of
heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
-
Isaiah 54:1 very good reading together with this verse.
-
Isaiah 65
very
good reading together with this verse
-
A bride
adorned for her husband
-
Ezekiel 48:5 And by the border of
Manasseh (USA), from the east side unto the west side, a portion
for Ephraim ( Great Britain).
-
Ezekiel 48:35 It was round
about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city
from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
3
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and
they shall be His people, and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God.
-
His
people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God
-
Tabernacle means ''dwelling place''
-
We see
He is dwelling with men.
-
With Them, for God's promised to dwell among
His People in the Land.
-
For the promise to dwell among His People,
restored Israel, in the millennial Land
The 144,000 Can Not Come Near The Lord, Because of
Their Abominations Which They Have
Committed
Ezekiel 44:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger,
uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter
into My sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of
Israel.
-
No stranger, shall enter
into My sanctuary, of any stranger that is among
the children of Israel.
10 And
the Levites that are gone away far from me,
when Israel went astray, which went astray away from Me
after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
-
The 144,000 that have bowed a knee to Satan, and
because of this iniquity they are given charge
of the Lord's house and shall minister to the
people, but they may not come near to the Lord.
-
The priests the Levites. Referring to the
distinction between the Levitical priests and
all other priests (heathen, Israelitish, or
tribal).
11 Yet they shall be ministers in My
sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and
ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and
the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them
to minister unto them.
-
They
shall stand before them to minister unto them.
-
Christ
our
Passover
was
sacrificed for us, no more burnt offering
-
Slay the burnt offering = end times love = God wants your love
-
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge
of God more than burnt offerings.
-
Mercy = Love
-
Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am
not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
-
Matthew 12:7 But if ye had known what
this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would
not have condemned the guiltless.
-
1 Corinthians 5:3 For I
verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already,
as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered

Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the
flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
