Who Is the Bride?
I have a question concerning the Marriage Supper of the Lamb: who is the Bride? I’ve been told the Jews are then the Gentiles. How can there be two brides? Also, if Christians and born-again Jews are the Bride, who are the guests? And who is the man without a wedding garment? If he is unsaved, how did he get into heaven? Do the 144,000 have any part in the wedding? Thank you for your answer.

Dear Mr. Froese,
I enjoy reading Midnight Call. I sometimes wonder about the amount of patience you have when you receive such rude letters disagreeing with you. I thank God for you and your diligence in researching the Word of God. May the Lord continue to bless you.

Answer: When reading Revelation 19:7-8, 21:2, 9 & 10, we note that the Lamb’s wife is not revealed. She is veiled in the glory of the holy city Jerusalem. The Bride of the Lamb is the Church, His Body. She is bought with the blood of the Lamb from among the Jews and the Gentiles. Jesus made an interesting statement about John the Baptist in Matthew 11:11, “…he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” What does it mean? John does not belong to the Bride of Christ. That distinction is also confirmed in John 3:29. The 144,000 sealed ones also belong to the “friends of the Bridegroom.”
The “man without a wedding garment” is part of a parable; it serves to illustrate that even if someone could get into the wedding celebration, he still would be cast out because he lacks the proper attire, which can only be obtained through faith in Jesus Christ.
