He's also a plague. A plauge and a plague. A plauge would be good for you.
Did you arrive at this conclusion through a deep study of the scriptures? Or are you simply repeating what you heard elsewhere?
The truth is an acquired taste. “He who has ears to hear, let him hear”
Apparently, so is spelling. Tell us more about the apocalipse, oh highly credible prophet "Armaggedon."
Revelation is about the marriage of the Bride and the Lamb. It is about the union of the Christ Spirit and the body of response on earth to Christ.
We see the essence of creation in the union of heaven and earth. Genesis 1:2. “And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” That union is the Christ Spirit moving upon the response of those in His Body on earth.
It is the same union described in the entire Song of Solomon. “My beloved spake and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.” Song Of Solomon 2:10-11.
We are invited to participate in the marriage of the Bride and the Lamb, the union of heaven and earth. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. It is time to turn our face of response to God in absolute love and service. Praise the Lord, made flesh in Jesus Christ. Let God's Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
If you read the text in the Book of the Revelation a little more closely, it says we are invited to the marriage SUPPER of the Lamb (chapter 19). Then it goes on to describe that very supper (verse 17 and following). What you find when you actually read it will be quite different from what you are thinking it means.
I appreciate your love for God's word. But please be careful with it. It is a sword with sharp edges. If you wield it carelessly, you are bound to cut some things off that you don't want cut off.
Jesus used the sacred wedding as a metaphor in many of his parables. It represents the divine communion on earth of the Spirit and the bride. Those who love and serve God, make up the flesh body of the bride, or church of Christ. The Lord seeks those who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. John 4:14.
“God is a Spirit: they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.”
The body of Christ, or the Church is comprised of those who truly love and serve Jesus Christ. That is the living temple of our Lord on earth.
Ok... .one more person to avoid trying to having a reasonable conversation with. I wish you well.
