The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

The Bible indicates a Great Marriage Feast would occur in the Kingdom of God after the rapture of the church.

. .... "Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom." (Matthew 26:26-30)

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. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, (bought and paid for by Jesus the Messiah taking our place on the cross!) for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (Romans 3:21-22) 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 19:7-9

In John 14:2,3 where Christ said: 'In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.' This passage indicates that Christ in the present age is preparing a place for His Church. When this is complete He will come to take the Church to her heavenly home to be forever with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

At the Rapture Jesus will come back to catch away His church, and whisk them away to the grandest, most glorious and thrilling wedding party that's ever been held, the "Marriage Feast of the Lamb", the true believers in Christ composed of millions.

We will also attend the Judgement Seat of Christ, in which all Christians who have ever lived will be judged and rewarded for their successes and obediences." ... 1 Corinthians 3:8b-23.

Believers will be judged. Not for their sins, because our sins were judged on the cross. We are judged for our works done in the body. The Bema is the term for the Judgment Seat. In the synagogue. The Bema is the raised platform in the center of the synagogue where the Torah is read. Jesus the Messiah will be at the Bema to judge our work

# An accounting of our works will be given Romans 14:10-12

# Basis of this judgment 2 Corinthians 5:10

# Bad works are burned 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

# Five types of crowns will be given

...# Incorruptible Crown 1 Corinthians 9:24-25

# Crown of Rejoicing 1 Thessalonians 2:19

# Crown of Righteousness 2 Timothy 4:7-8

# Crown of Life James 1:12 , Revelation 2:10

# Crown of Glory 1 Peter 5:2-4

During this time the horrific Seven Vials of the Wrath of God are going to be poured out upon the Antichrist and his followers on the earth, in the form of terrible plagues such as the World has never known.
