THE BRIDE MAKES HERSELF READY

Several key points of Chapter 19 require a Christian to go deeper into the exploration of the Word than nominal Christianity has a mind to do. One is that God, as a part of redemption taking vengeance for His Servants, He is pouring out His Judgments on His Adversaries and His enemies. Blood is answering to Blood. He is judging His people and is removing the wicked from His Kingdom and is once again establishing the World in harmony, back in its right place and under His authority.

As someone has said:
1) Satan is out of place; his rightful place is in the abyss, to be followed by the lake of fire.
2) Christ is out of place; His rightful place is seated on His Own throne, ruling the earth in the stead of Satan.
3) The Church is out of place; the Church’s rightful place is to be seated on the throne with Christ, ruling in the stead of angels.
4) Israel is out of place; Israel’s rightful place is to be positioned at the head of the nations on the earth.
5) The Gentile nations are out of place; they are being ruled by the satanic forces apart from the Covenants of God. Their rightful place is to be ruled over and blessed by the first-born sons….Christ and His consort and Israel.

REVELATION 19 continues the revelation of Christ’s, and now His Bride’s investiture.
*The Father has chosen to satisfy the Soul of His Dear Son. [Isaiah 53:11] That is, that He has given unto Him a Bride.
*This Bride will have the glory and privilege of ruling with the Son, and that being forever, as no one will ever be above the Son.
*The Bride is the sweetest and greatest example of loving intimacy that is known to man. The connection here with Christ, the Son of God, is so marvelous, and so full of promise, it is hard, but to a certain degree is now to be comprehended.
*That the Bride has made herself ready means to be found worthy: to have been yielded to the Word and Spirit of God. To have been found worthy is no small or insignificant thing, but the greatest accomplishment that a human could ever have been found worthy of.
*This union in Him is that which God desired from the Garden with Adam and Eve. It is the typed example of Rebecca and Isaac of Genesis 25. It is seen again in Boaz and Ruth, who was his Gentile wife, Joseph and his Gentile wife, Moses and his Gentile wife.
It is the glory-filled relation that Paul strove for and preached. [Colossians 1; Philippians 3] It is the Gift God gave His Son. [John 17:6] That He purchased with His Blood, and defeated the enemy to obtain. To share in this union is to share in His Glory.
*This qualified union of Bridegroom and Bride is apparent in Scripture and beyond the mere sharing of eternal life that all the saved will share. Therefore, not all saved then will be the Bride.

Revelation 19:1 declares the Bride of Christ… “much people in heaven…”
These, as we have discovered, are the many people of:
1) The First-Fruits rapture offering. [Matthew 24:40-42; Revelation12:5]
2) Joined by the Harvest; those who had endured during the Tribulation and did not take the mark of the beast. [Revelation 7:14;14:12,13]
3) And those Old Covenant and New Covenant worthies resurrected out from among the dead. [Hebrews 11:16; Revelation 20:4,5,6]
“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.” Verse 7.
The stress of the verse is; the wife: …she has made herself ready. She, having made herself ready, is depicted in her clothing. As it is that the Harlot’s sinful acts of unrighteousness is depicted by her scarlet wardrobe (Revelation17:4), and is denounced and thought worthy of condemning judgment. So also the Bride’s wardrobe of justified white, whitened and finally brilliant as torch light depicts her righteous acts in her making herself ready. And the assessment here is that she is worthy of the investiture. This worthiness is exampled in the righteous acts of Overcomers in their raiment in Revelation chapters 2 &3, and compare the Greek words for “white” in 7:13 &14.They have washed their robes provided in the righteousness of Christ, and made them whiter, so says the Angel of God.

Now in Revelation 19:8, “And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white:….” torch-like radiant shining is the different Greek word for white here. Why is she so arrayed here at the wedding? Because her good works, by faith in Christ, are accepted by God......
