Today we continued our study of the Seventh Commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery".
We are looking at Deuteronomy 24:5, as it pertains to End-time Bible Prophecy. It says: “When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.”
Of course, because He is without sin, Yah keeps His Own Torah. As we are finding in our study, Yah will be keeping this Statute in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and beyond...
End-time Events happen on Feast Days: So… The Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be on a Feast Day… And our Heavenly Bridegroom will not go to war until after the Wedding - and the "year" of joy with His people...
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb – The Last Great Day
Revelation 19:6-9 “And I heard as it were the
voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice
of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for Yahweh God omnipotent
reigneth. 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: for
the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 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 19:11 “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.”
Luke 17:34-37 “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men
in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women
shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other
left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
the other left. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Master?
And He said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the
eagles be gathered together.”
Marriage is
the Symbol, in Scripture, of the Union between Yah and His saved People:
Isaiah 62:5
- “For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry
thee: and as the Bridegroom rejoiceth over the Bride, so shall thy God
rejoice over thee.”
· The Hebrew wedding is a prophetic shadow picture
of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
· The Statutes (Deuteronomy 24) teach that the
young man is to “cheer up” his bride (which means “rejoice over” and “with
her”) for the honeymoon period – so also, Yahweh will keep the “honeymoon”
period with His Bride.
As a token of His love for
you, you will be given His promise to seal you as His own (Eph.1:13)
“As He rejoices over you, His
bride. He clothes you in the wedding garments of salvation and righteousness”
(Isa. 61:10).
Steps of the Hebrew Wedding,
as they are carried out in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb:
·
The Bride is chosen by the Father
o
Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy
people unto Yahweh thy God: Yahweh thy God hath chosen thee to be a special
people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”
o
Deuteronomy 14:2 “For thou art an holy
people unto Yahweh thy God, and Yahweh hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people
unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.”
