Does it take 7 yrs for a Jewish Wedding to be consummated?
Yes, a day for a year in Prophesy is a well known prophetic understanding.
This is another Pretrib invention that has no connection to reality or God's infallible Word.
The only invention comes from you, you strain at a gnat when you pretend you have no clue about the 1 day for a year prophetic lingo in the bible, so WHY GO THAT ROUTE? You already knew it was a proper interpretation analogy.
When Christ is united with His bride; it will not be for a 7-day or 7-year consummation; it will be for eternity!
You are just wrong, on all accounts, God married Israel long ago, we will marry Jesus. Satan loves deceiving people. He has an easy job at times. Here you are trying to debate someone who can explain the whole book of Revelation in one post, about the simple Pre Trib. Rapture. Everything as per a timeline that you buy into has to be warped to not fit the pre trib. rapture timing.
If you want to know when the marriage occurs; you must go to the end of the Tribulation; in Revelation chapter 19; when Jesus returns to the earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords. That is when Scripture teaches the Marriage will occur.
Boom, you do not get that Rev. 19 is the start of the tribulation period, the book is NOT IN ORDER, just like Daniel is NOT in order. Rev. 1 is Jesus in all his Eternal Glory, Rev. 2 & 3 is the Church Age, the number 7 means Divine Completion. The THINGS WHICH ARE = the Church Age. Thus everything after that, starting in Rev. 4:1 is the HEREAFTER or 70th week, the Church is in Heaven now, the 24 Elders represent the 24 Orders of the Priesthood see 1 Chronicles 24, we the Church are called Kings and Priests in Rev. 1:6 and in Rev. 5:9-10. We have White Robes on and Gold Crowns in Rev. 4:4 and we also sit at God's THRONE, now go back to Rev. 2:10, Rev. 3:5 and 3:21 and look real close, those who die in Jesus are promised what? To sit at God's THRONE and to wear Crowns of Gold, and to have on White Robes !! Meaning this is THEV CHURCH in Heaven. We know this by reading Rev. 5:9-10 they say they have been REDEEMED by the blood of Jesus, they are in Heaven, Angels can not be redeemed !! This in Rev. 19 when we see the have not yet Married the Lamb that has to happen BEFORE Rev. 4:4 and Rev. 5:9-10. God jumbled it up on purpose, that is cool with me. I am the unscrambler of Revelation. Thus Rev. 19 covers the full 7 years as does Rev. 14 the Harvest Chapter, we see the 144,000 (5 Million Jews who repent as an ENCODED name tag) on the Mt. but they are really in the Petra/Bozrah region, Jesus only goes tom get them AFTER he defeats Satan, the AC and their minions because Isaiah says he comes in BLOOD STANED Garments. They are shown on the Mt. because that is where the Wheat (Israel) will rule from with Jesus. In Verses 17-20 we see the Wicked Grapes are harvested (the Tares) and we know they are only judged 1000 years later at the 2nd Resurrection when Jesus destroys this earth, and universe. So, in vs. 14 we see a Pre Trib. Cinematic FLASHBACK where Jesus Harvests the Church from where? UPON A CLOUD !! Why is this so hard to grasp?
The Book of Revelation is not in Chronological Order sir. Rev. 2 and 3 is the Church age, Rev. 4, 5 and 6 is after the Rapture but before the middle of the 70th week Wrath of God falls. Rev. 7 is Israel fleeing Juda, at least the 1/3 whom repented, the 2/3 will die. Rev. 8stsrts God's Wrath not Rev. 6, the Seals UNSEAL the Wrath to come, thus Seal #6 merely foretells Trump #4 and Seals 1-5 foretell the Anti Christs coming actions in each case. Rev. 9 is STILL IN ORDER, the first and 2nd Woe emit from the 5th and 6th Trump. Now we have to jump to Rev. 16 (15 & 16 really are one chapter) and that finishes off the 70th week.
Rev. 10, 11, 12, 13, 17 and 18 all cover the 42 months of God's Wrath, but are speaking about specific 1260 day r 42 month events that come to pass there in. We see the exact same even THREE TIMES as per Jesus destroying the AC and his minions, in Rev. 16:19, in Rev. 14:17-20 and in Rev. 19 at Armageddon, they are all three the SAME EVENT !!
Postribber Tony Warren argues in an article on this issue (
Jewish Wedding Customs & the Rapture): “If pretribulationists are right, we would expect the wedding and the feast to commence at the beginning of the tribulation, not after the tribulation as Revelation 19 plainly indicates. If Jesus was referring to heaven as the seven years in the 'Chuppah' in
John 14:1-3, the bride should have “made herself ready” before the pretribulation rapture (around
Rev. 4). And the “marriage of the Lamb” should have occurred at the beginning of the tribulation, and not at its extreme end. The pretribulation scenario has Jesus being intimate with the Bride in the “Chuppah” for seven years before Revelation 19 indicates the wedding occurs!”
Seems he not hip to these facts either. You guys just can not grasp why God jumbles up the book of Revelation, even though you see the same thing with Daniel, come on now. GET WITH IT....
Dr. Robert Gundry contends. "If a purported pretrib coming to fetch the church to heaven is supposed to reflect the ancient Semitic custom of a groom's fetching the bride to his home, what is Jesus' taking the church with Him back to earth right after the marriage supper, and for a thousand years, supposed to reflect
Armageddon is the Marriage Feast. The Bride will not remain on earth read Rev. 20:4 it SPECIFICALLY SAYS, that only those whom were Martyred by the Beast (70th week Gentile Saints who repented during the 70th week) will reign and rule 1000 years with Jesus on earth. Now THINK LOGICALY, God hates idle time and ide people. Jesus being God will not need billions of people on earth to help hm rile. My hunch is, since the New Jerusalem is called the Bride of Christ as it descends, that we go back up into the heavens to build the New Jerusalem, or to complete it in full.
You can't start out for the wrong destination and get to where you are going.
