THE MARRIAGE FEAST OF THE LAMB:
The fourth stage of the Jewish wedding is the marriage feast and this lasted for seven days. The Church is the bride and was married to Christ in heaven after the Rapture and Resurrection. The Old Testament saints make up the friends of the bridegroom. Now that those saints have been resurrected too the wedding feast can take place. The wedding itself has already occurred and was just for the Church and Christ. The other saints are invited to the feast though. The invitation has already been issued.
Revelation 19:9
9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God (KJV).
The result of this invitation is the resurrection and the wedding feast, which will last for seven days. Christ spoke of this during the last supper as He raised His glass of wine with His apostles.
Matthew 26:27
27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom (KJV).
