We are betrothed to Jesus at time of salvation.
2 Corinthians 11:2
For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you pas a pure virgin to Christ.
Revelation 19:79
Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his Bride has made herself ready;
it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
And the angel said to me, Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God.
pas = as
Exactly...We are betrothed...The wedding takes place, in heaven...Looking at the surrounding verses, one can see that the wedding takes place during the Great Tribulation...
This is the church that went to meet the Lord in the air...They don't go off just to meet up with the Lord and return to the earth for the 2nd coming...They are caught up to the wedding...
After the wedding the church THEN returns with the Lord to clean up the earth and set up his Kingdom, on the earth...
