The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Marriage of the Lamb, #43
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Revelation 1:7)
The appearing of the Lamb and His Wife will cause a division in mankind. Those who hate God will fight against Christ and His saints and will be destroyed. The man of lawlessness and the False Prophet will both be cast alive (in their bodies) into the Lake of Fire. Those who love God will receive Christ and His saints and will be blessed by the Presence of God in His saints.
There only are two kinds of people in the world, in this context: those who love God and those who hate God; the righteous and the wicked; the wheat and the tares. The Lord Jesus Christ is the point of division.
Those who are of God receive Christ and His true saints. Those who are not of God will receive neither Christ nor His true saints. They are the tares, the wicked mentioned so many times in the Scriptures. The appearing of Jesus always results in a separating of the righteous from the wicked of the earth.
The appearing of Christ with His saints will cause multitudes of the meek of the earth to come to the Glory of the Lord being revealed in His people.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. (Isaiah 60:1,2)
Notice that the manifestation stage of the marriage of the Lamb will take place in the hour of earth's greatest darkness. The same concept appears in the nineteenth chapter of the Book of Revelation, where we see those who are blessed being called to the marriage supper (Revelation 19:9), but at the same time the going forth of the Lord with His linen-clothed armies to destroy the wicked of the earth (Revelation 19:11).
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (Isaiah 60:3)
This is the appearing of the Kingdom of God in the earth, and the meek and righteous of the earth will come running to the light of God now appearing in His eternal Temple.
Notice that the people of the earth do not see the Lord or run to the Lord. Rather, they see the Glory of Christ in His saints and run to the saints. We are the Lord's inheritance. The nations are our inheritance.
Compare:
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. (II Thessalonians 1:10)
This is the hour when the saints "take the kingdom." It is the greatest of all revivals.
Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. (Isaiah 60:5)
The heart of the Lamb is in His Body, His Wife. It is His pleasure to fill her with His glory and to call those whom He has chosen to save to the festivities that will be celebrated in honor of the marriage.
To be continued.
