How do the amillennialists explain away the Marriage Feast when Jesus comes for his bride?

The marriage feast is when the faithful are rewarded. This happens all the time when one faithful dies and meets his reward. Amillenialists just think it happens to each of us, “by inches” rather than all at once, forever to some, but not to others who have already died.

Similar with ideas like the rapture. All faithful get raptured, rather than suffer death. “Oh death where is thy sting?” Rather than have the rapture be something that is missed by all Christians except the few who are raptured on ‘the big day’. If rapture was only for that few, then all other Christians who looked forward to it are looking forward to it in vain.
