Verses 27-36:
1. Here again as in other parables, Jesus is going to explain a heavenly doctrine with a earthly application by using the religious leaders ignorance in attempting to trap Jesus in saying a falsehood that would not agree with the law of Moses;
2. It would not have mattered how many marriages the Sadducees used (7 is God's number of perfection);
3. It is a fact that God has patterns of things on earth that are in heaven ( Hebrews 9:23, 24), and marriage is no different, but what is different is patterns of this world are earthly, and the patterns of heaven are spiritual;
4. When comparing heaven with this world you must keep this at the forefront of a comparison;
5. We are married and given in marriage (man and woman only) in this world, but in heaven after the judgment seat of Christ the bride (born again church age believers) is given in marriage to the lamb of God (Jesus Christ), Revelation 19:7-9;
6. The bride for Jehovah God is the Old Testament saints ( Isaiah 61:10);
7. The holy scriptures likens us to angels because they are spiritual created beings and because all angels in the bible are men (no female angels exist in the bible);
8. There is no mention of unbelievers being married after this life in the bible, because part of their torment in hell is separation from everybody and most of all separation from God, total darkness.
