Marriage Supper of the Lamb

When Jesus comes back to rescue His children, His church, out of the Great Tribulation, He will “gather together” His saints “from one end of heaven to the other,” and “so shall we ever be with the Lord” (Matthew 24:31; 1 Thessalonians 4:17). This union is commonly referred to as the Rapture, when Jesus comes for His church, His bride, as her Bridegroom, what the Bible calls the “marriage of the Lamb,” the union of His church counted as one great bride though it is composed of millions—marrying Jesus at this great celebration in heaven, this great wedding feast. “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready” (Revelation 19:6–9).
