2. Review:
In Part II of this lecture series, we learned
about the UNIQUE and DISCTINCTIVE
characteristics, qualities, or traits of the
Bridal Christian/Church:
1. Accepted in the Beloved
2. Desire for the Groom
3. Passion
4. Fascination
5. Intimacy
6. Filled with Oil (Holy Spirit)
3. These were in addition to all the
other BASIC qualities that a
mature Christian is supposed to
have:
1. Grounded on the Word
2. Prayerful and interceding
3. Sanctified
4. Pure
5. Spotless
6. Aiming for Perfection and Maturity
7. Fitted with the Armor of God, etc.
4. The objective and desired total
effect of this growth is the formation
of Christ’s character upon us:
5. In order for us to know the
“HOWS” of the formation of
the bridal character in us, it is
most helpful to know the
Jewish custom on courtship
and marriage, and see the
application of the principles in
our Christian life…
6. THE JEWISH MARRIAGE
CUSTOM:
1. The selection of the bride.
Usually, the Father chooses the bride (Gen. 24)
We have also been chosen by the Father even
before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1,
John 17, John 15:16)
Rebekah consented to marry Isaac even before
she ever met him. Today, the believers in the
Messiah consent to become the bride of
Christ even though we have never seen Him.
(1Pet 1:8)
7. Next step:
2. A bride price was established.
A price would have to be paid for the bride.
Jesus, being our bridegroom paid a very
high price for His bride, the body of
believers. The price He paid was His life.
(1Cor 6:20)
8. Next step:
3. The bride and groom are betrothed to
each other.
Betrothal (formal, legal, ENGAGEMENT)
is the first of two steps in the marriage
process. Betrothal legally binds the bride
and the groom together in a marriage
contract, except they do not physically
live together. Whenever you accept the
Lord into your heart and life, you become
betrothed to Him while still living on
earth.
9. Next step:
4. A written document is drawn up.
This contract states the bride price, the
promises of the groom, and the rights of the
bride. The groom promises to work for her, to
honor, support, and maintain her in truth, to
provide food, clothing, and necessities, and
to live together with her as husband and wife.
This contract was the unalienable right of
the bride. It must be executed and signed
prior to the wedding ceremony. The Bible
is the believers contract. All the promises
that God provided for the believers in
Christ are legally ours. (2 Corinthians 1:20)
10. This is very important: the BIBLE
is the marriage contract that the
Bride holds that secures her for
the Groom:
11. 5. The bride must give her consent.
The personal application to those who
desire the Lord to come into their
hearts and lives is to accept his
invitation to do so by faith. As His bride,
we must say “I do".
ROM. 10:9-10
“If you CONFESS WITH YOUR
MOUTH THAT JESUS IS LORD
(equivalent to saying that He is your
husband, master), you will be saved.
For with the heart you believe and are
justified, and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation.”
12. 6. GIFTS were given to the bride and a cup
called the CUP OF THE COVENANT was
shared between the bride and the groom.
The rite of the betrothal is completed when the
groom gives something of value to the bride and
she accepts it. (NOTE: gifts given by Eliezer to
Rebekah).
Today, the gift that is given is usually a ring. When
the groom places the ring on the bride's finger,
the rite of betrothal is completed. This completed
rite is known in Hebrew as kiddushin, which
means "sanctification“, THAT IS, SEPARATED
OR SET APART. We are now set apart for
Christ.
The gifts to the bride are symbols of love,
commitment, and loyalty
13. The gift God gives to those who accept Jesus is the
Holy Spirit. When Jesus ascended to Heaven, He
gave us gifts, including righteousness, eternal life,
grace, faith, and other spiritual gifts.
In this giving, the cup of the covenant was shared
and sealed between the bride and the groom with
the drinking of wine.
14. The couple drinks from a COMMON CUP.
IN THIS SENSE, THE HOLY COMMUNION IS
NOT ONLY A COMMEMORATION. IT IS A
BETHROTHAL DRINK. EVERYTIME WE
DRINK THE CUP, WE MUST REMEMBER
WE ARE BETHROTHED. TO CHRIST.
The cup is first given to the groom to sip, and
then to the bride. This cup, known as the cup
of the covenant, is spoken of in Jer 31:31-33,
and in Luke 20, 22
15. THEN A VERY IMPORTANT
PART OF THE PROCESS
TAKES PLACE:
In its parallel or equivalent to the
Christian life, this is the part that
develops the BRIDAL CHARACTER…
17. The bride had a WATER IMMERSION,
which is a ritual of cleansing.
This indicates a separation from a former
way to a new way of life. In the case of
marriage, it indicates leaving an old life
for a new life with your spouse. Jesus
said, in John 3:1-7, that we must be born
anew to enter into the Kingdom of God.
Believers are to be immersed in the
name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the
immerser of God. (Luke3: 16, Acts 1:5,
11:15-16)
19. IN THE BIBLE THERE ARE
MANY BAPTISMS:
There is a “one baptism”:
“There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism…”
(EPH. 4:5)
BUT THERE IS ALSO “INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT BAPTISMS”:
“Therefore let us leave the elementary
teachings about Christ and GO ON TO
MATURITY, not laying again the foundation of
repentance… faith in God, INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT BAPTISMS, laying on of hands…”
(HEB. 6:1-2)
20. The baptisms in the Bible:
1. Baptism of repentance – Mark 1:4,
related to Believer’s baptism (Mark
16:16) – THIS IS WATER BAPTISM BY
IMMERSION
2. Baptism of the Holy Spirit – Mark 1:8,
Luke 3:16, Acts 1:5
3. Baptism of fire – Luke 3:16
4. The “baptism of Moses” – “they were all
baptised into Moses in the cloud and in
the sea” (I COR. 10:2-3) (this referred
to the special favor of COVERING of
the Lord for the Israelites… and YET
THEY WERE DESTROYED… v. 6)
EVEN IF THEY DRANK FROM
21. But there is an IMMERSION that
is not related or not limited to the
water baptism of repentance and
believing alone:
And that is the BEAUTIFICATION
IMMERSION (“baptism”) of the
BRIDE that she may be
PREPARED TO WED the Groom.
25. THE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR THE
BEAUTIFICATION BATH OR
IMMERSION
EPHESIANS 5:25-27
“25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ
also loved the church, and gave himself for
her;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse her with
the washing of water by the word, (TAKE
NOTE THE WORD USED IS NOT BAPTISM,
but WASHING)
27 That he might present her to himself a
GLORIOUS church (BRIDE), not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but
that she should be holy and without
blemish. “
26. Please TAKE NOTE:
This “WASH” is by IMMERSION.
This immersion is NOT CALLED A BAPTISM, but a
WASH.
TITUS 3:5-6
5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by
the WASHING of regeneration, and renewing
of the Holy Ghost; (NEW BIRTH, NEW LIFE!)
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus
Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be
made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will
that thou affirm constantly, that they which have
believed in God might be careful to maintain
good works. These things are good and
27. So this is not only a BELIEVER’S
BAPTISM, this is a BRIDAL
BAPTISM:
28. This is related to the “RUTH
PRINCIPLE”
Remember the instruction of Naomi to
Ruth, in order to invite Boaz to exercise
his rights as kinsman’s redeemer and
marry Ruth:
“WASH (immerse) AND PERFUME
(ANNOINT) YOURSELF AND PUT ON
YOUR BEST CLOTHES, then go down
to the threshing floor… when he lies
down… uncover his feet and lie down (at
his feet). He will tell you what to do.”
-- Ruth 3:3-4
29. So the principle of BRIDAL
IMMERSION or washing is so
crucial to a girlfriend who is
about to be married!
THIS GENERATION OF CHRISTIANS
is the generation that is going to meet
Jesus Christ without tasting death!
WE BETTER DECIDE NOW TO GET
INTO THE BRIDAL IMMERSION to
prepare us for the wedding feast!
30. NOW WHAT IS THIS BRIDAL
IMMERSION?
For this we turn to the BEAUTY
QUEEN.
QUEEN ESTHER!
“Before a young woman's turn came to
go in to King Xerxes, she had to
complete twelve months of beauty
treatments prescribed for the women,
six months with oil of myrrh and six
with perfumes and cosmetics.”
ESTHER 2:12
31. Look at the King James Version
rendition of the same passage:
“Now when every maid's turn was come to
go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she
had been twelve months, according to
the manner of the women, (for so were
the days of their purifications
accomplished, to wit, six months with oil
of myrrh, and six months with sweet
odours, and with other things for the
purifying of the women;)” (Esther 2:12)
THE WORD PURIFICATION is translated
BEAUTIFICATION in modern English.
32. FIRST PHASE: 6 MONTHS
MYRRH TREATMENT!
1.MYRRH – from marah – meaning
bitter
2. It is very expensive
3. It is a detoxifying agent
4. It is used to embalm the dead
5. It is used as a base for perfumes
6. It is a cleansing agent
7. It is a healing agent
33. THE CONFIRMED ANCIENT
USES OF THE MYRRH:
1. It cures stretch marks (that is why it
beautifies even the dead)
2. It prevents rotting (heals wounds)
3. It cures athlete’s foots (body
parasites)
4. Heals impaired digestion (source of
bad breath)
5. Repairs damaged immune system
(disease, sickness, ailment destroys
the glow, beauty and health of a
34. Uses of Myrrh:
6. Heals mouth ulcers
7. Heals sore throats (improves the voice)
8. Heals chapped, cracked, damaged skin
9. Eliminates body odor
NO ONE WHO WANTS TO BE
BEAUTIFUL CAN ESCAPE THE
MYRRH TREATMENT.
WHAT ARE MYRRH’S SPIRITUAL
SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPORTANCE?
35. Myrrh’s spiritual significance:
1. We must put to death (embalm) the
old nature
2. Bitter, painful experiences (myrrh is
bitter) of life ARE PART of God’s
BEAUTY TREATMENT of us
3. It is not 1 or 2 or 3 months of the 12-
month beauty treatment, it is SIX
MONTHS, meaning HALF, or PART
OF OUR BEAUTIFICATION process
36. We must…
4. Allow God to detoxify us of all
bitterness, anger, OFFENSES, hurt
feelings, traumas, painful memories
(abuse, molestation, trauma…)
5. WE MUST SOAK IN GOD’S
HEALING, FORGIVENESS,
COMFORT, teaching, restoration,
AFFIRMATION…
37. There is a very interesting
passage in the Song of Songs
5:4-5
“My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the
door, and my heart pounded for him.
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands
dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with
sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of
the lock. “
WHAT IS THE HAND THAT OPENS THE
DOOR TO THE GROOM? The hands
washed in myrrh!
THEN WE ARE READY FOR THE SECOND
PART.
38. THE SECOND PART OF THE
ESTHER BEAUTY TREAMENT: 6
MONTHS OF PERFUMES AND
OINTMENTS, WITH COSMETICS
39. This beauty treatment is not just
for mature Christians; even “child
Christians” can and should go
through this bath…
40. So as we read in Esther 2:12
”Before a girl's turn came to go in to
King Xerxes, she had to complete
twelve months of beauty treatments
prescribed for the women, six months
with oil of myrrh and six with
perfumes and cosmetics.”
The word perfume is translated SWEET
ODOURS in the King James Bible.
WHAT ARE THE THINGS MENTIONED
AS “SWEET ODOURS” in the Bible?
41. THE “SWEET ODOURS”
(PERFUMES) MENTIONED IN
THE BIBLE WHERE WE NEED
TO SOAK:
1. THE LOVE OF GOD!
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as
dear children;
And walk in love, as Christ also hath
loved us, and hath given himself for
us an offering and a sacrifice to God
for a sweetsmelling savour.” EPH.
5:1-2
42. This is a VERY SERIOUS
MATTER:
WHY ARE SOME (MANY?) CHRISTIANS:
1. unhappy?
2. Unpleasant?
3. Negative?
4. Carriers of gloom and heaviness of spirit?
5. Unable to worship?
6. Uninspired to serve?
7. Unforgiving?
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN THE
BRIDAL BATH!
THEY HAVE NOT BATHED AND IMMERSED
IN THE LOVE OF GOD FOR THEM!
43. When you bathe (immerse, soak)
in the love of God…
1. You begin to be pleasant
2. You bring lightness of spirit
3. You exude radiance and smile and not
heaviness and gloom
4. You are FREE TO WORSHIP!
5. You SERVE WITH JOY!
6. You are forgiving
7. You love to spend time with the Word
and to pray
YOU BECOME BEAUTIFUL!! HOW?
WHY?
BECAUSE…
46. 3. A bath CLEANSES and
NOURISHES you, and thus
makes you BEAUTIFUL
47. This is what happens when we
soak in the love of God:
1. Rest and peace
2. Joy
3. Beauty, COMING FROM
CLEANSING AND NOURISHMENT
WE BECOME BEAUTIFUL BRIDE.
All these bridal bath talk… DOES THIS
APPLY ONLY TO WOMEN?...
49. OTHER THINGS MENTIONED
AS SWEET PERFUME OR
ODOUR IN THE BIBLE:
2. THANKSGIVING!
Genesis 2:19-21
“Every beast, every creeping thing, and
every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon
the earth, after their kinds, went forth out
of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the
LORD; and took of every clean beast, and
of every clean fowl, and offered burnt
offerings on the altar.
21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour;
and the LORD said in his heart, I will not
again curse the ground any more for
50. SO SOAKING IN PRAISE, WORSHIP,
THANKSGIVING TO GOD PRODUCES A
SWEET PERFUME, AND THE MORE WE
SOAK IN THAT, THE MORE BEAUTIFUL
WE BECOME!
“PRAISE LOOKS GOOD ON YOU! (or praise
makes you beautiful)” Psalm 33:1
51. 3. a third “sweet perfume”,
PRAYER AND INTERCESSION!
REV. 5:8
“And when he had taken the book, the four
creatures and four and twenty elders fell
down before the Lamb, having every one
of them harps, and golden vials full of
odours (incense), which are the
prayers of the saints. “
SOAKING IN PRAYER AND
INTERCESSION IS SOAKING IN
SWEET PERFUME BEFORE GOD!
53. 4. A lifestyle of generosity,
giving
PHILIPPIANS 4:18-19
“But I have all, and abound: I am full,
having received of Epaphroditus THE
THINGS WHICH WERE SENT FROM
YOU, AN ODOUR OF A SWEET
SMELL, a sacrifice acceptable, well-
pleasing to God.
But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus.”
54. Giving is an offshoot of love…
JOHN 3:16
“For God so loved the world, THAT HE GAVE
His only Begotten Son…”
YOU CAN GIVE WITHOUT LOVING, BUT
YOU CANNOT LOVE WITHOUT GIVING.
Abundant giving DONE IN THE SPIRIT OF
GENEROSITY AND LOVE is a SWEET
PERFUME before God.
LOVING HAPPY, PEOPLE ARE GIVERS!
GENEROSITY IS A BRIDAL ATTRIBUTE!
55. 5. KNOWING GOD, or the
knowledge of God, is a sweet
fragrance to God
2 COR. 2:14-17
“But thanks be to God, who always leads us as
captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and
uses us to spread THE AROMA OF THE
KNOWLEDGE OF HIM everywhere. 15 For
we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ
among those who are being saved and those
who are perishing. 16 To the one we are an
aroma that brings death; to the other, an
aroma that brings life. And who is equal to
such a task? 17 Unlike so many, we do not
peddle the word of God for profit. On the
contrary, in Christ we speak before God with
56. Soaking in the knowledge of God
means:
1. Meditation on His Word
2. “inquire in His temple”
3. Seeking the Lord
4. Being still before the Lord, that we
know Him
THIS MEANS WE MUST TAKE BREAKS,
RELAX, COMMUNE WITH GOD IN
THE SPIRIT – SOAK IN THE
KNOWLEDGE OF HIM!
57. 6. A sixth “sweet odour” in the Bible is
when you BREAK YOUR ALABASTER
BOX for Jesus
John 12:3, Mark 14:3, Luke 7:36-50
58. Breaking an alabaster box is a
BRIDAL ACT!
In the days Jesus was on earth, when a
young woman reached the age of
availability for marriage, her family would
purchase an alabaster box for her and fill
it with precious ointment. The size of the
box and the value of the ointment would
parallel her family’s wealth. This
alabaster box would be part of her
dowry.
When a young man came to ask for her
in marriage, she would respond by
taking the alabaster box and breaking
it at his feet. This gesture of anointing
his feet showed him honor.
59. Recall the story:
One day, when Jesus was eating in
the house of Simon the leper, a
woman came in and broke an
alabaster box and poured the valuable
ointment on Jesus’ head (see Mk.
14:3-9). The passage in Luke 7 that
refers to this event harshly describes
the woman as “a woman in the city
who was a sinner” (Lk. 7:37).
60. What it meant to Jesus:
In fact, Jesus memorialized her gesture
in Matthew 26:13 (see also Mk. 14:9).
This gesture had such meaning, for not
only did she anoint Jesus for burial, she
also gave her all to a heavenly
Bridegroom. Yes, she was a sinner
(who isn’t according to Romans 3:23?),
but this sinner had dreams and wisely
broke her alabaster box in the
presence of the only One who can
make a woman’s dreams come true.
61. 6. Conscious CONSECRATION
produces a sweet perfume
Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exo 30:23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure
myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so
much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet
calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
25 And thou shalt make it an oil of HOLY OINTMENT, an
ointment compound after the art of the apothecary (BLEND
OF THE PERFUMER): it shall be an holy anointing oil.
26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation
therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and
his vessels, and the altar of incense,
28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the
laver and his foot.
29 AND THOU SHALT SANCTIFY THEM, THAT THEY MAY
BE MOST HOLY: WHATSOEVER TOUCHETH THEM
SHALL BE HOLY.
62. CONSECRATION IS A BRIDAL
BATH!
The more you consciously, deliberately,
intentionally give of yourself to Jesus,
IN EVERYTHING YOU DO,
EVERYDAY,, saying “Lord, I belong to
you. Lord, this I do, I do for you”, we
are soaking in the holy BRIDAL BATH
of consecration.
63. THE FIVE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS OF
THE CONSECRATION OIL (Exodus 30:23-
24)
1.) Myrrh 2.) Cinnamon 3.) Cane
4.) Cassia 5.) Olive oil
64. THE MYRRH INGREDIENT
Myrrh is a necessary ingredient in
embalming fluid; it is also used as a
purifier. In our walk with the Lord, we
must be cleansed and purified from
our sins. When God delivers us, WE
MUST BECOME DEAD TO SINS. We
need to become as dead as a body
that has been embalmed, no longer
able to respond to sinful impulses.
65. The myrrh ingredient
“Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to
be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in
Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not
let sin reign in your mortal body, that you
should obey it in its lusts. And do not
present your members as instruments of
unrighteousness to sin, but present
yourselves to God as being alive from
thedead, and your members as
instruments of righteousness to God
Romans 6:11-13
66. THE CINNAMON INGREDIENT
Cinnamon is a spice used to add a
sweet smell to the anointing oil. God not
only saves us and allows us to become
dead to our old way of living; He also fills
us to such a degree that our lives can
exude the sweetness of our Savior. We
can begin to take on His gentle, kind and
loving fragrance.
And walk in love, as Christ also has
loved us and given Himself for us, an
offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet-smelling aroma. Ephesians 5:2
67. The cane or calamus
ingredient
Cane, or Calamus, is also used to
sweeten the anointing oil. IT IS
CALLED THE SECOND
SWEETENER. The quality of
sweetness is so important to the Lord
that He requires us to be doubly
sweet, and to overflow with the
kindness, gentleness and the love of
Christ God wants us to have the
character trait of ‘sweetness’ beyond
normal measure.
68. The cassia ingredient
The branches of the cassia herb retain
moisture and must be planted in a swampy
area near the banks of a river in order to
survive. THIS SPEAKS OF IMMERSION IN
THE WORD. As Jeremiah 17:7-8 says,
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and
whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a
tree planted by the waters, which spreads
out its roots by the river, and will not fear
when heat comes; but its leaf will be green,
and will not be anxious in the year of drought,
nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
ALSO PSALM 1.
69. The olive oil ingredient
The process required to get olive oil is
painful and intense. First, the trunk of
the olive tree must be shaken harshly,
causing the olives to fall to the ground.
Then the olives must be beaten and
smashed until the liquid runs out. IT
SPEAKS OF THE ABILITY TO
OVERLOOK FAULT AND AN
OFFENSE.
70. Again, what are the sweet
perfumes of the Bible?
1. The love of God
2. Thanksgiving, praise, worship
3. Intercession
4. Knowing God
5. Breaking one’s alabaster box
6. Conscious consecration
7. There is a seventh, OUR LIVING
SACRIFICE (service) which is holy,
pleasing, and acceptable to God (Rom.
12:1-3)
71. AS A RESULT OF THE BRIDAL BATH,
THE BRIDE IS BEAUTIFUL, READY TO
BE PICKED UP BY THE GROOM
73. A BRIDAL BATH IS:
1. Personal
2. Private
3. Prepared
4. Perpetual or
Persistent
5. Perfecting
6. Pleasurable
7. Patterned
(after Christ
and the Word)
74. AFTER THE BRIDAL BATH
THE BRIDEGROOM DEPARTS, GOING BACK
TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE TO PREPARE THE
BRIDAL CHAMBER.
[John 14:2] In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
At this point, the bridegroom leaves for his
father's house to prepare the bridal chamber for
his bride. It was understood to be the man's duty
to go away to be with his father, build a house,
and prepare for the eventual wedding. Before he
goes, though, he will make a statement to the
bride, "I go to prepare a place for you; if I go, I
will return again unto you."
75. THEN THE BRIDE IS SET
APART FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME TO TEST HER, WHILE
THE GROOM IS AWAY:
In Hebrew culture, the BETHROTHAL
period is a period to VALIDATE, TEST,
the PURITY, CHASTITY, AND
FAITHFULNESS of the bride-to-be.
The TRUE BRIDE, who KNOWS HER
OWN FAITHFULNESS, meantime
prepares herself to be the BEST and
MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDE that she can
ever be to her husband-to-be.
76. THE GROOM WILL COME FOR
THE BRIDE WHEN “THE
PLACE” IS PREPARED
The Bride DOES NOT KNOW when the
Groom will pick her up.
Even the Groom does not know. IT IS
ONLY THE HEAVENLY FATHER WHO
KNOWS when the “the place”.
“No one knows the day nor the hour, only
the Heavenly Father…” (MATT. 24:36)
MEANWHILE, WHAT IS THE GOOD AND
FAITHFUL BRIDE DOING ALL THE
TIME THAT SHE IS WAITING…
77. MAKING SURE THAT SHE IS SO
BEAUTIFUL WHILE AWAITING FOR
HER GROOM TO PICK HER UP AT
ANYTIME…
78. THE GROOM will COME AT
ANYTIME, in a time not
expected, or “suddenly”
IN WHAT SHAPE OR
CONDITION WILL HE
FIND US?
79. LIKE THIS? Ashamed to meet
the Groom?
OR WORSE, LIKE THIS………. (next
slide)
80. IF THIS IS THE PICTURE OF THE CHURCH, DO
YOU EXPECT THE GROOM TO MAKE THIS
CHURCH HER BRIDE AND BRING HER TO THE
WEDDING FEAST ON THE DAY OF RAPTURE?
