It felt like my discussion with you was in good faith. It didn't feel like that with SaveFerris - at least in the middle-part of the discussion.

Matt 22:7-8 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

FYI, just before this parable, And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them (Matt. 21:45).

In the context of Jesus' parables in Matt. 21:28 through 22:14 (including Matt 22:7-8), Matt 21:45 tells us that Jesus was prophetically speaking of the Jews of that day ("them that were bidden" (Matt. 22:3). Further proof that Jesus was speaking of the Jews of that day is when he was done the Pharisees took counsel to entangle Jesus (Matt. 22:15).

And later, it happened to the Jews exactly as the prophecy said. In 70 AD Jerusalem was completely destroyed by the Romans so that literally one stone was not left upon another. The Lord then turned to the Gentiles to fill his house for the wedding (vs.9-10). This has been going on for the last 2000 years.

I’m not sure how you answered my point. I have not found a direct reference to the wedding of Chris, just like the second resurrection. You must look elsewhere in scripture to figure out when and even where.

The Lord then turned to the Gentiles to fill his house for the wedding (vs.9-10). This has been going on for the last 2000 years.

The gentiles and even some Jews from the last 2000 years make up the Church, which is the bride, but who are the guests?
Matt 22:10 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.
I have a problem with the marriage happening anytime during the tribulation. You should consider a one-year hiatus from Deuteronomy 24:5. Would Christ go off to war right after the wedding? In the parable, the destruction takes place before the wedding
