This sermon was preached by Jesse Boyd at New Testament Christian Fellowship in Conover, NC on January 13, 2019. The focus here is the Judgment Seat of Christ (i.e. the bride’s preparation) and the Marriage of the Lamb in heaven. This message also covers additional aspects of a traditional Jewish marriage and how these things mirror God’s dealings with the New Testament Church: the rapture of the bride, the marriage ceremony, the consummation, and the wedding supper. The Church, the VIRGIN BRIDE espoused to be consummated to Christ in this heavenly marriage ≠ Israel, the adulterous wife of Jehovah who is to be restored.
