God Reveals the Table of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
When God started teaching me concerning the Marriage of the Lamb, one of the things He
showed me was the banquet table. I have made a semblance of what I saw and believe me
the beauty and awesomeness cannot be duplicated, by man, nor will it ever be. There were more items
on the table than depicted here.
For years I had talked about this table being glass, with no (white) table cloth; therefore nothing
was hidden. I figured a purified people must sit there. Because of certain events,
some Biblical revelations and the Corporate Flow Chart, I have become reasonably sure that
the table is not glass but purified, transparent gold. This includes the table and everything on it
except the silverware, which was silver. Certainly this table represents a great purging of a
chosen people, performed by the Lord.
Zechariah 13: 9
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try
them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people:
and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Notice it is the Lord who separates (only) a third of His people out and brings them through the
fire. He is in charge! When God brought this group together, He started purging us of wrong
ways and doctrines. Silver was appearing in the Corporate Flow Chart. If we take a general
snapshot of the Corporate Flow Chart over the years, we see silver in the beginning, then a
mixture of silver and gold, and then gold. Pure silver and gold have to do with a purging of
dross or impurities, a cleansing, a trying of God's people by Him.
You will notice that the beginning picture
has people sitting on one side of the table.
The Holy Spirit has shown me the
banqueting room setup and I have prepared
a picture looking down from overhead.
From this picture you can see why I was
shown people would be seated on one side
of the table in the first picture. The meeting
is not a social time but a time of
government, to be focused on God, to find out what is on His stage, and to listen to Him for
instruction! It is His meeting, not ours!
We need to examine the stage symbol by seeing what
God has revealed about it to get more illumination of
this picture of the banquet setup. In 1991 when the
vision concerning Russia
came to pass by the Soviet Union being dissolved, the
Lord said: "I am setting the 'End Time Stage' for end
time events." This shows that God had His hand in the
collapse of the USSR and end time events are on His
agenda (stage).
The stage reveals what God is doing, about to do, or
what He wants done. When I saw the stage in Heaven,
everything on the stage and outside of the stage was focused on the throne of God. This is also
shown by the setup structure of the meeting (any meeting) with the people facing one way, towards the stage.
The stage in Heaven was a parabola shape, which
is also a picture of everything being focused
towards the throne at the back of the
stage. In the White Horse movie we
see that the Lord and His White
Horse were on stage and then came
to earth, which means that everything
the White Horse and Jesus Christ
represent is now God's agenda or on
stage and being executed in the earth.
In the writing on this site entitled The Silver Man, you will read that the Silver Man came out onto a stage, stood at a pulpit, and said, "This is
what we are going to do...." The Lord then began putting us through several events to teach us
and purge people who were not being obedient to what He had revealed. All these particular
events were on stage, God's agenda in our lives for that window of time. So we see the necessity of knowing what is on God's stage. It has to do with what God is doing, His agenda.
This brings us back to what is on stage in the
feast or banquet meeting. God is the only one
who knows, and actually it could be anything!
Is the Lord's agenda something national, world
wide, or something to do with the body
gathered before Him? Whatever it is, it is of
concern to Him at the time. This is why our
focus is to be on Him all through the meeting
and we need to listen, listen, listen.
There is no ritual of any kind and I say that for
this reason. While I was writing this article, I asked the Lord specifically about it. The Holy Spirit
gave me a scene in the night about a ritualistic congregation who had a pet that needed to die
and be buried. It did die in the scene and the leader of that congregation was the one who had
to bury the pet. I knew it was going to stink if it wasn't buried, but there was no place to bury it.
It was all concrete and brick walls in this area. The concrete and brick walls show how set we
can be, as a people, in meetings with rituals and traditions.
God has had us do communion many, many different ways over the years (breaking our
traditions), always for His purposes, teaching us something or illustrating something.
The Lord has been giving us pictures so we can understand, so
let's look at the transparent banquet table again.
Revelation 21: 21
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every single gate was
of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were
transparent glass.
Could there be any doubt that this symbolic table is pure gold? The silver and the transparency
of pure gold certainly paint a picture of an intense purification performed by the Lord Himself
and according to His standards. The transparency of all this certainly depicts nothing hidden
and the absolute seriousness of allowing ourselves to be purged. At the Marriage Feast of the
Lamb the married Bride eats from this particular table, but do the guests or the attendants to
the wedding? I have said this to stir your interest! The table is symbolic; and it seems to me
that by looking at the banquet setup, that a person who is not focused on the stage or the Lord
is not seated at this table. Is something like this possible? Yes! This is revealed in the Parable
of the Wedding Feast.
There have been dreams and visions that give some insight into the Marriage of the Lamb, the
Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and more. We must realize that the Marriage of the Lamb to the
spotless bride is a major event in the Kingdom of God on earth. It is a major event that affects
Heaven and things to come. This is why we should be glad and rejoice that the marriage has
come.
Revelation 19:
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and
his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine
linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me,
Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
The world should rejoice, and certainly "Let us" meaning "believers" should rejoice. The Lord
says, "Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb." Who are
these called people? Are they the attendants to the wedding ceremony? Are they the guests?
One thing for sure is that no matter who they are, or what function they perform, they are
"Blessed" because God says they are! 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which
are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. Whether you are a guest or part of the Bride
you are blessed because you are called!
To be honest, I was not interested in the Marriage of the Lamb and I didn't figure anyone could
know much about it when the Lord said to me, "You might not make it!" He taught me that the
Marriage was in the earth and people would pass the Bride on the street and not know it. All of
this, including dreams and visions concerning this matter, has made me realize the parable of
the marriage supper reveals a lot more then I ever imagined. Let me share some thoughts to
stir your thinking.
I have placed the parable of the wedding feast at the end of this article and you can refer to it as you like. The
parable really doesn't deal with the actual bride, and it is best for the picture presented by the
parable to think of her as pre-existing. It is because she has cleaned herself up and gotten rid
of her spots that the wedding can even take place. No Spotless Bride - no Wedding Feast.
The Bride and the guests are not the same people. The neat thing is that the guests get to eat
and enjoy all the same food and festivities as the Bride. The parable reveals that God supplies
the food, and so the guests get to eat God's food because of the Bride being manifest and the
time of the Marriage of the Lamb has come.
The Bride has an intimacy with the Lord that the guests do not have. In the big picture there are
many more guests than people who make up the Bride! Down through the years I have asked
people if they wanted to be in the Bride or be a guest. Some say they want to be in the Bride
and others say they would rather be a guest. The reason is that they did not want to go through
what the Bride has to go through to become the married Bride.
The guests are not coming to the wedding supper to become married, or be part of the married
Bride. God has shown me more than once that the guests need tickets to get into the meeting
and those tickets are to be examined for qualification. We must understand that the guests
must also meet God's requirements for being a guest.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a
wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a
wedding garment? And he was speechless.
This wedding garment for the guests is not the gown of the Bride of Christ but must be
appropriate for the wedding. Clothes represents our acts; the Bride's gown represents her acts;
the clothes of a harlot represent her acts. God revealed that the guest was not properly clothed
(acting correctly) according to His standards. This guest was not ignorant of what the wedding
feast is. He knew and thought he was alright, revealed by, And he was speechless. We see
that the guest did not know or walk in the right acts. God makes a judgement: 13 Then said the
king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer
darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are
chosen.
Here we see that many are called but few are chosen, which again reveals there are
requirements set by God. This particular guest did not make the requirements because of his
acts (in his regular life) before the meeting. (We do not get dressed in the meeting but before the meeting.) Actually, God removed the man; no grace here even though God called the man "friend."
Moses was certainly a friend of God but when he disobeyed and struck the rock, rather than
speaking to it, he was not allowed to enter the promised land. No grace here either. (I share
this so we can see the seriousness of governmental issues in the Kingdom of God.)
We must understand that there are prerequisites to being a guest or to be in the actual married
Bride. There are prerequisites to having golden meetings. These boundaries and prerequisites
must be taught to us by God, and then we must walk them out continually to successfully walk
with the Lord. They are something we need to grow into so they become part of us.
We must understand that the whole church is
called to God's Kingdom that is presently here
on earth. In God's Kingdom the Lord is King
and ruler. The Lord is the president of every
meeting, from the beginning to the end.
Looking at the meeting to the right, can you
picture how distracting a person entering into
the room with their traditions and rituals would
be? The whole meeting would take off in a
direction it was not meant to go.
The married Bride is to walk this earth doing the Lord's business. Every meeting she has as a
corporate body is to have this symbolic floor plan or setup. This way we should always be able to find
the Lord's agenda. This meeting floor plan (given by the Lord down the River of Life) is
patterned after the floor plan in heaven, part of, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!"
In the last feast meeting we had as a Corporate Body, we did nothing but listen until we got
instruction from the Lord. We had to find out what He had on stage for that particular meeting.
The parable of the wedding supper:
Matthew 22:
1 And Jesus answered and spake
unto them again by parables, and said, 2
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a
certain king, which made a marriage for
his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to
call them that were bidden to the
wedding: and they would not come. 4
Again, he sent forth other servants,
saying, Tell them which are bidden,
Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my
oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all
things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when
the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those
murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but
they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as
ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and
gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was
furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man
which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in
hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the
servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
