Did you know that the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the great party that happens shortly after the Rapture of the Church?
There has not been, and could never be, any royal party or event organised in this world that could even begin to compare to this grand party God Almighty will throw for His saints.
Some interesting facts about the Marriage Supper of the Lamb:
Date And Time: After the Rapture and the Master’s Investiture
At the Rapture, God’s saints, whether dead or alive, are supernaturally transformed and transported out of this world into Heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
Afterwards, the first major event to occur in Heaven is “The Master’s Investiture,” where the Lord Jesus Christ is coronated King over all peoples, nations, and tongues (Daniel 7:13-14; Revelation 5:6-13). Right after this ceremony, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb takes place.
Venue: Heaven!
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb takes place in Heaven, as described in Revelation 19:7-10.
Guests:
• The Old Testament saints who ascended into Heaven with the Lord Jesus after His resurrection (Matthew 27:50-53, Acts 1:9, Ephesians 4:8-10).
• The Raptured Saints (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18, Revelation 4:1-11, Revelation 5:2-14).
• All who believed in Christ and did not worship the antichrist during the Tribulation period. These include the 144,000 Jewish men (Revelation 7:1-8), the two witnesses (Revelation 11:11-12), and a great multitude of saints who were beheaded for their faith in Christ Jesus (Revelation 7:9-15; 20:4).

The marriage supper of the lamb sounds like a wonderful event. Just one question: Can you attend if you die or just if you are raptured?
Yes, the Marriage Supper is a wonderful party that the Lord Jesus throws for us in Heaven after the Rapture. As stated in the article, those who are invited to attend include:
· The Old Testament saints who ascended into Heaven with the Lord Jesus after His resurrection (Matthew 27:50-53, Acts 1:9, Ephesians 4:8-10).
· The dead in Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:14-16)
· The Raptured Saints (1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 Revelation 4:1-11, Revelation 5:2-14).
· The Tribulation saints: all who believed in Christ and did not worship the antichrist during the Tribulation period. These include the 144,000 Jewish men (Revelation 7:1-8), the two witnesses (Revelation 11:11-12), and a great multitude of saints who were beheaded for their faith in Christ Jesus (Revelation 7:9-15; 20:4).
So, you see, not only those who go to heaven by rapture will be at this event; even those who died centuries ago or just before the rapture as saints of God would be in attendance! What qualifies one to be there is that he or she is in Christ, whether dead or alive.
I trust this answers your question.
God bless you!
