Recently, a friend invited our family to a Marriage Supper of the Lamb event organised by Heart of David Ministries. It was held in Nerang Bicentennial Culture Centre and was a Jewish celebration which was held to depict a future point in holy history when the saints will pass through the gates of splendor to enter the mansions of glory. There they will be ushered into a love feast and a glorious consummation of marriage of Christ and His bride.
When we arrived, we heard some familiar either Singaporean or Malaysian accent English being spoken by one of the chinese couples who were in charge of reception.
They had lovely tabletop centrepieces and we saw some booths also selling stuff like books and Jewish souvenirs. Food was great. We had lamb (of course), roast beef, chicken stew, salad, baked potatoes, rice and some salad. We also had a cake-cutting session, with words written "Shalom Jerusalem".
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is based on scriptures which indicate that this climactic banquet of the ages will come at the end of this present evil age at the second coming of Christ. At that time we shall see Jesus/Yeshua face to face on the occasion of His return to this earth. This time He will come not as the Suffering Servant but as the returning conquering King of Kings. Revelation chapter 19 (below) gives the context of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
They made a wedding tent under which traditional jewish weddings were held and danced under it.
It was lovely to watch people just being free to dance unto the Lord in this fashion, and meaningful as it was symbolic of the relationship we had with Christ, when He comes back for His bride, the church. More importantly, it reminded us how much God loves us and the type of intimate relationship He was looking for in His people.
