Jewish Wedding
|
Messiah's Wedding
|
The Jewish woman indicates acceptance of the man's proposal by drinking
a cup of wine |
Jesus passed the cup of wine at the Last Supper and when we drink we accept
being His bride |
The Jewish man would pay a price to the parent's of his new bride |
Jesus Christ paid the price for us as His bride with His life |
The Jewish man would then give his betrothed gifts |
Jesus Christ gave us, His betrothed, the Holy Spirit |
The Jewish man would then go a build a place for them to live once married |
Jesus Christ said, "I go to prepare a place for
you." |
The Jewish man then goes for his bride at midnight with a host of people,
shouting and blowing the shofar for his bride |
The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with
a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump
of God: |
The Jewish man and wife then spend 7 days alone to consummate the marriage
in their wedding chamber |
The Lord and his bride, the church, shall spend 7 years alone to consummate
the marriage, during the 7 years of tribulation |
