Some are already enjoying the wedding party.
Some are already weeping and gnashing their teeth.
:o)
How do you mean?
the wedding party has begun. It is the union of the Bride and the Lamb. The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come". Jesus said, "Ther will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see the Gentiles in the kingdom and you yourselves shut out"...or something close to that. When the Spirit in us says "Come" we are at the feast inviting others......GATHERING. When we hear a voice, "The Bridegroom Comes!"- we run out into the night(hopefully with extra oil gathered in the day) to FIND HIM -prophetically, "That where I AM there you may be also", This I pray, that you may BE ONE(united, gathered in Him) that YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL."
Whenever two or more of you gather i my name, THER I AM(dwelling/tabernacling) IN YOUR MIDST.
Of course, the consummation of the wedding feast will be at the first resurrection gathering at the end of this age, but it will only be for those WHO WErE GATHERED ALREADY, who HEARD THE CALL AND WENT OUT, leaving there quiet rest and sleep behind to BE WHERE HE IS and to celebrate THE MARRIAGE-
AWAKE O SLEEPER, ARISE FROM THE DEAD and THE LIGHT OF CHRIST WILL SHINE ON YOU
Lord remove my veil, Kiss me with the kisses of your lips.
My beloved came for me(behold I stand at the door and knock), I heard his hand upon the door knob(if any man hear me and open up the door), but I said- my feet are clean, i do not want rise from my comfortable bed, (not counting all as loss). Then He LEFT- and I rose up in haste and I went out and I cried, "HAS ANYONE SEEN MY BELOVED", but He was nowhere to be found. I asked the watchmen and they mocked me. I asked the shepherds and they misled me, "HAS ANYONE SEEN MY BELOVED"- I wept, until He came to me. (weeping opens the door, a broken and a contrite heart I will ot cast out)
What will we do if our little sister has no breasts?(immaturity) "Call to the wind, COME O NORTH WIND(sufferring, trial)"
Son 8:8-14 "We have a little sister, And she has no breasts; What shall we do for our sister On the day when she is spoken for? "If she is a wall, We will build on her a battlement of silver; But if she is a door, We will barricade her with planks of cedar." "I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace. "Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; He entrusted the vineyard to caretakers. Each one was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit. "My very own vineyard is at my disposal; The thousand shekels are for you, Solomon, And two hundred are for those who take care of its fruit." "O you who sit in the gardens, My companions are listening for your voice-- Let me hear it!" (14) "Hurry, my beloved, And be like a gazelle or a young stag On the mountains of spices."
Isa 27:1-9 In that day the LORD will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, With His fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea(Let there be light). In that day, "A vineyard of wine, sing of it! "I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it every moment. So that no one will damage it, I guard it night and day.
"I have no wrath(ministry of reconciliation/gathering/wedding feast). Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle, Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely(ministry of condemnation/separating/shut outside). "Or let him rely on My protection, Let him make peace with Me, Let him make peace with Me."(repenting of the hardness of our hearts/yielding/brokenness) In the days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will blossom and sprout, And they will fill the whole world with fruit.(Psalm 51, James 3:15-17) Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain? You contended with them by banishing them, by driving them away(therefore they weep and gnash their teeth). With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind(thoroughly purging the threshing floor). Therefore through this Jacob's iniquity will be forgiven; And this will be the full price of the pardoning of his sin: When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones; When Asherim and incense altars will not stand(no more idolizing the works of his own hands and his appetites.
The wicked man hates the righteous and gnashes his teeth on him, but the righteous does not resist him.
