[NATE4"ONE NATION"]

I believe the bride has been entirely made up and the marriage has taken place. Otherwise, when will the marriage occur?

As do I. I believe the "wife" as we are now, is the church and New Jerusalem. We are the city in which He dwells.

As an aside, imagine the joy of the apostle John at seeing his name on one of the foundation stones of the city in his vision. Awesome.

And humbling.
By the way, John helped found the church by writing his portion of scripture. He added to the foundation we stand on. As Solo Scriptura is our only record of these truths!

However, we were not invited to the wedding, are not the friend of the bridegroom, did not attend it and could not be the five foolish virgins who missed it since it is passed. Where are we in relation to the wedding? What do you use to prove it?
