Icy;
you need to rethink your position
as Paul says
the things written are examples for that generation to come
"upon whom the ends of the world come"
Read Gen. Ch 24 very, very carefully
Who sent who to go get Isaac (the promised son) a Bride
Abraham sent
his most trusted Servant
he did not send
the Servants of Isaac (the promised son)
nor did he send
Sarah; Isaac's (the promised son's) mother
nor did he send Isaac (the promised son) to get his own Bride
notice Isaac (the promised son)
did not send his servants
(the 12 Apostles in the NT)
nor did Isaac go with the Servant of Abraham
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master,
and departed;
for all the goods of his master were in his hand:
and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia,
unto the city of Nahor.
#2: After finding a bride
Who tried to delay
the Servant and Rebekah, the Chosen Bride
And her brother and her mother said,
Let the damsel abide with us a few days,
at the least ten; after that she shall go.
56 And he said unto them,
Hinder me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my way;
send me away that I may go to my master.
#3: After finding the Bride, did he go home
and then report to Abraham, then take Isaac
or anyone else back too Nahor's home
and introduce him to his Bride
Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
No he did not
in fact,
he was forbidden to take Isaac there;
even if the chosen Bride would not come
And the servant said unto him,
Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land:
must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
And Abraham said unto him,
Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
..
if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,
then thou shalt be clear from this my oath:
only bring not my son thither again.
Icy;
Christ is
not coming back to get his Bride;
The Father will send his most trusted Servant
The Archangel; to come get the Bride and take her to Christ
Not the other way around
------
The Wedding----
at the wedding there will be
the Father and Mother, Christ and the "Best Men" =
friends of the Bridegroom
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom:
but the friend of the bridegroom,
which standeth and heareth him,
rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice:
this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
The Bride and all her Bridesmaids = the Daughters of Jerusalem
Song of Solomon
and the "
The Guest" at the Wedding
Icy;
Christ does not marry his best men nor all the bridesmaids
and ""
ONLY the Bride"" goes into the Bridal Chamber
and no one else ; no not one
another little
hint recorded there
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide:
and he lifted up his eyes, and saw,
and, behold, the camels were coming.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes,
and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
65 For she had said unto the servant,
What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?
(
Who is this man coming to meet us)
And the servant had said,
It is my master:
therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
Gen.24:67
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent,
and took Rebekah, and she became his wife;
Is Christ coming back
Yes
But only
after the Wedding has already happened
in heaven
then Christ, his Bride, and all the wedding party
will come for the wedding feast
Hopefully you know that Parable
