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.

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.

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,

    5 To deliver s
    uch an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
    6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
    7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even
    Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
  • Caused = were to the house of Israel for a stumbling block of iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of My holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
  • Not come near unto Me = This is to be the punishment to 144,000.
  • Only the overcomes, God's elect can come near to the Lord
  • Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
