Marriage Supper - UBM [David Eells]

A dream of standing near the beginning of many, many small round tables as far as the eye could see in any direction. The tables were covered with white table cloths and four chairs per table. It was my job to see that a small two-tiered wedding cake was exactly centered in each of the tables. This cake was to be divided equally among the four people who would be seated there. (Those who are invited to the Marriage Supper.)

Knowing that these cakes were the exact likeness of a larger one that was at the table of honor. (This is the table of the Groom and His Bride.)

The tables did not yet have their place settings or name cards but knowing that that would take place soon. (The trials and testing to come in the tribulation will prove who it is who is invited to the Marriage Supper in Heaven. The foolish virgins do not bear fruit and will not be invited.)

{Rev.19:7} Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready. {8} It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. {9} Then he said to me, Write, Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are true words of God.

{Mat.25:1} Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. {2} And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. {3} For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: {4} but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. {5} Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. {6} But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth 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 going out. {9} But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. {10} And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast (The Greek word here, gamos, should be translated "marriage", not "marriage feast", for this is the whole marriage ceremony. This would give a person who knows about the marriage custom to discern what part of the marriage is being spoken about. The virgins escort the Bride and Groom to the Groom's home [in Heaven] after the Marriage Feast of seven days (tribulation) where there is a Marriage Supper. The foolish virgins who have not borne fruit do not go to Heaven, as Jesus said here.): and the door was shut. {11} Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. {12} But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. {13} Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

{Luk.12:35} Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; {36} and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return (Greek: analuo, meaning "depart; break up", as in Philippians 1:23. This is the only place in the NT that this word is translated "return". Those at the Marriage Feast will break up to go to the Marriage Supper; the Groom will "depart" from the Marriage Feast with the Bride to be escorted by the virgins to the Marriage Supper in His home and some will not be counted worthy.) from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him. {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 sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
