The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Firstfruits of the Bride, #5
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of [the] great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Revelation 7:14)
Compare:
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. (Isaiah 4:4)
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God. (Zechariah 13:9)
The first marriage is followed by war and the first resurrection from the dead.
The second marriage is followed by the eternal reign of the Kingdom of God over the new earth.
Notice that there is no judgment associated with the first bride or the first resurrection. This is because the first bride has made herself ready by washing her robes in the blood of the Lamb. Her judgment has been completed during her discipleship. The Lake of Fire has no authority over her because the sin has been removed from her.
The first bride is a person of war. She has learned war as she has engaged in the process of overcoming the devil by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of her testimony that God is true, and by loving not her life to the point of death. The holy angels have been able to cast the devil from the heavens to the earth because of her willingness to obtain total victory through the Lord Jesus.
Thus the first bride is Mahanaim, that is, the dance of a double camp—the camp of the saints and the camp of the warrior angels.
Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? as it were the company of two armies. (Solomon 6:13)
As soon as the marriage of the firstfruits takes place, many nations will be called to partake of the Presence of the Lamb in His firstfruits.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Revelation 19:9)
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (Isaiah 60:3)
As soon as the marriage of the firstfruits takes place, the army of the Lord appears, ready to assume the government of the earth.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. (Revelation 19:11)
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. (Revelation 14:1)
And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's. (Obadiah 1:21)
