Just kidding! I haven’t lost my mind; however, I really think you would have had to leave your brains at the door to believe that nonsense. The marriage supper of the Lamb is in heaven, while the supper of the great God would have to be on earth! SHEESH!

Back to the real marriage supper!

The first ten verses of Revelation, chapter 19 describe a scene of great rejoicing in heaven, as told to the Apostle John by the angel sent from God that accompanied John through the visions in Revelation.

“¹After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

. . .

“⁶ Then I (John) heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. ⁷Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; ⁸it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. ⁹And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb”

(Revelation 19:1; 6-9)

To better understand the Marriage supper of the Lamb, let’s first take a look at wedding customs in Jesus’ day.

These wedding customs had three major parts. First, a marriage contract was signed by the parents of the bride and the bridegroom, and the parents of the bridegroom or the bridegroom himself would pay a dowry to the bride or her parents. This began what was called the betrothal period—what we would today call the engagement. This period was the one Joseph and Mary were in when she was found to be with child (Matthew 1:18; Luke 2:5).

The second step in the process usually occurred much later, when the bridegroom, accompanied by his male friends, went to the house of the bride. If he came in the night, he and his companions would create a torchlight parade through the streets. The bride would know in advance this was going to take place, and so she would be ready with her maidens, and they would all join the parade and end up at the bridegroom’s home. This custom is the basis of the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1–13. The third phase was the marriage supper itself, which might go on for days, as illustrated by the wedding at Cana in John 2:1–2.[i]

As stated above, the marriage suppeb, according to Jewish customs, took place at the home of the bridegroom. After the betrothal, the bride would remain with her family while the bridegroom would go and prepare a place for them to live.

Jesus was referring to the same custom when spoke to his disciples; with his own death on the near horizon, told them:

“¹ Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. ²In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:1-3)

Back to the silly notion that the marriage supper of the Lamb is not in Heaven with saints rejoicing, but it’s actually lots of birds devouring the carcasses of God’s enemies on earth. Revelation 19 describes a celebration in heaven and the marriage supper of the Lamb (vv. 1; 6-9), followed by a rider on a white horse, vanquishing God’s remaining enemies on earth (vv. 11-20). If I apply a literal interpretation, there are separate events occurring in a specific order, per the angels sequential revelations to John. It can’t be any simpler than that, and the claim made by the author of the meme that started this post is patently ridiculous. So WHY make the claim in the first place?

Well, it has to do with a theological system that demands that the silly claim MUST be made and MUST be true!

But that’s another story to be told at another time.

Be Blessed!
