Just a few scriptures that say about the bride/bridegroom.
Matthew 25:1-46 - Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Ephesians 5:27 - That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Mark 2:19-20 - And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Revelation 19:7-9 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Read More...)
Revelation 21:2 - And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
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.
1. First, the Jewish groom barters with the father of the bride. They get together and they go back-and-forth, and barter as to what the deal is going to be.
2. Once they reach an agreement, the future bride is brought in. And if she approves of it, all three of them drink out of the covenant cup, which means from that time forward they are betrothed.
3. The groom goes back to his father's house to build their living quarters. It is built right off of the family home. And once the wedding takes place, and they are now married, they will go back to his family's home, and there will be living quarters that will be for them.
4. The father of the groom decides when the living quarters are done, and WHEN he can go get his bride. What does that tell us? We don't know the time or the hour. It has to be a minimum of one year because it is a time of purity for her. The groom can go get his bride when his father decides it's time.
5. When the marriage announcement is made, catch this: the people who have already been invited to the wedding feast, they take their positions along the parade route, because the groom is going to get his bride. And there are people stationed in position all the way along the route. They join the parade as it passes by. It is called a parade.
6. When the groom reaches the bride's house, he stands at a distance and blows the shofar, the trumpet, for the bride to come out and meet him. And the wedding takes place at that time. Do you see anything in there about prophecy? The groom comes to get his bride, and he stands a ways off and blows the trumpet, and she comes out to meet him.
7. The parade goes back to the groom's house and the wedding feast begins. All of the guests in the parade gather in the Fellowship Hall, and the door is shut. This is not an open public thing. It occurs in heaven.
Is this something you came up with? It looks like a copy word for word of what I posted a while back on the 7 Steps of a Jewish wedding. I'm just curious because it looks like an exact copy of my post?
Either way, I've shared this before and it is very fascinating. Thanks for reposting!
I posted over a year ago because of a Song of Solomon and Ten Virgins study; that was tying into a rapture explanation. It was very exciting to see it coincide with how the Father of a Jewish groom controls timing.
Although I think the 10 virgins is more compelling.
I must have missed your posting on this over a year ago. I also posted the 7 Steps of a Jewish wedding a long while back, probably over a year ago, maybe two? You may not have read what I had posted on the 7 steps. If you could see what I posted and what you just posted, you would be "blown away" that we both said the exact same thing. I just think that it's sort of eerie that we would both post the exact same thing word for word. I mean literally word for word in all seven steps. What are the odds of that?
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those 7 steps of a Jewish wedding from? What I shared came from a pastor whose ministry I sat under for several years. I took it from an audio transcript from one of his bible studies I attended. This was about 10 years ago. I also have the written transcript of his audio. I just read it and it matches perfectly word for word the same thing you and I both posted.
Hello Helen,

Zelma Shalom
The Rapture (caught up) precedes this wedding.

The bride is the church (believers). Could you permit me to copy/send me a copy of the 7 steps to Jews wedding.
We need to read and get ready/rehearsal for His Coming or we miss out.
I just made some Rapture References.
Blessings on the wedding!
