Video: Perry Stone's "Jewish Wedding and Its Relation to the Rapture"
- Jewish wedding = pre-Tribulation of the Rapture (Revelation 19:7-8)
- God married Israel; Israel is God's bride : Christ married His Church; the Church is Christ's bride
- Stages of the Jewish Wedding
1. Man asks for Woman's hand; Woman accepts : God proposes to protect Israel; Israel accepts God's proposal (the mutual understanding is then sanctified)
2. Man takes Woman to Father's house, and they draw up a "marrital contract" (i.e. engagement) : the marrital contract between God and Israel can be found in Exodus 19:5; Israel accepts the engagement, thus entering a convenant relationship with God (Exodus 19:7-8, 19:10-11, 19:18; Deuteronomy 33:2)
3. Man and Woman separates; they will not see each again until Man and his father finish preparing a place where the Man and the Woman will live as husband and wife --> only the Father would know specifically when this will be accomplished : Only God, the Father, knows the exact date of the Rapture
4. The preparations are done, and the Man goes to receive his Bride : When God finishes preparing a place for Christians in the Heaven, Christ will come and gather all Christians (i.e. the Rapture)
5. The marriage ceremony is one big party : 7 years of Tribulation is a time of great joy for all Christians who have been received up to Heaven
