"Wedding Supper of the Lamb"
(Weekly Reading>> Leviticus 22:26-23:44, Numbers 29:12-16, Zechariah 14:1-21, 1 Kings 8:2-21, Matthew 6:1-34)
In the Abrahamic Covenant, the Bride is chosen and given the Gospel just as Abraham received it in his day along with all potential promises held within that Covenant (Galatians 3:8). That potential is called the promised seed of Abraham. However, it is up to the Bride to germinate this seed for it to take root and grow. If this seed is not understood or bypassed, the Bride will be at risk of missing her appointed times with The King, especially the wedding. This could result in being a guest instead of the Bride.
God’s people are given the same potential as was granted to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He even provided her with His own personal priesthood, the Levites, to help mentor and prepare His Bride for His return. That is why we see Moses, along with his brother Aaron, given the task of teaching the bridal preparations to the Bride. Without these instructions from Mount Sinai, there would be no Bride, and Yeshua’s death would have been in vain.
God has arranged for all in Him to have beauty treatments (instructions through Moses) to be applied liberally. This germinates and roots His seed. These treatments are created to transform His people into a royal priesthood. As the Bridegroom will marry one who is like Him (one who walks in His lifestyle), much preparation has gone into making sure every detail is met and the Bride does not lack. We have learned through Scripture that the Mosaic Covenant holds the key for the Bride because Moses was chosen by God to explain His Gospel to His Bride. Without His Gospel being an active part of the Bride’s wedding preparations, he or she will not have a wedding gown to wear – as there will be no righteous acts coming from the believer to create one. The Bride will not be allowed to enter the wedding ceremony without it. Thus, it is imperative His people remember their instructions given to them by Moses, as Moses holds the key to God’s/Elohim wisdom and righteousness (Luke 11:46-52; Isaiah 11:5, 59:17, 61:10; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 1:13).

Mark 4:3-9 “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.” And He said to them, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Mark 4:10-12 “But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God/Elohim [Yahweh manifest in the flesh/Messiah]; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; lest they should turn[repent], and their sins[lawlessness] be forgiven them.’”
Mark 4:13-20 “And He said to them, ‘Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts [believers who left the door open for Satan to rob them]. These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and they have no root in themselves [Believers who had not prepared a place for the truth of Yeshua to reside in their hearts], and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful [they coveted so much that they lived buried in compromise]. But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it [walk in obedience to it], and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.” (Mark 10:17-22; 1John 5:6-8 KJV/NKJ).

Revelation 19:9-16 “Then he said to me, write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ And he said to me, ‘These are the true sayings of God/Elohim.’ And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ‘See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus/Yeshua. Worship God/Elohim! For the testimony of Jesus/Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy.’ Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God/Elohim. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
