Groom is Jesus
Groom's father is Jehovah
Bride is 144,000 1NC saints in two presences
Bride's father is Adam
Price is Jesus' death in ransom for Adam
Wine drunk is Lord's evening meal 1NC cup and ARC cup
Gifts are gifts of the spirit given to the 1NC saints through the hands of the apostles
Groom leaving fathers house is Jesus coming down here to inspect the house of the bride the church of the 1NC
Best man is the new Elijah, Elijah3 in the first presence and Elijah4 in the second, the one preparing the way
Bridesmaids are sons of the ICC
Jesus waiting outside the house is his rejection of the Bride's house - church
The bride coming out, is that part of her which leaves the church of the 1NC to enter the second true church where she walks with Jesus once more.
The walk back to Jehovah's house is the bride learning God's laws and purposes in the second true church.
She then dies enters into the first death and then is resurrected into heaven as an angel.
Bridal chamber is the heavenly government courtroom over the Kingdom
The marriage is the investiture of the bride as kings with Jesus over the Kingdom on 2008Nisan22
The Kingdom of God starts judicially on 2008Nisan22, first fruits day.
Then the 7 day wedding feast runs from 2008Nisan22 to 2008Nisan28 inclusively.
This being the installation of the priesthood of the first presence part of the 3rd Holy Spirit
The scriptures do witness that a marriage celebration should last 7 days in Genesis29 and in Judges14...
26 To this Laban said: It is not customary to do this way in our place, to give the younger woman before the firstborn.
27 Celebrate to the full the week of this woman [her 7 day marriage feast and bridal chamber honeymoon]. After that there shall be given to you also this other woman for the service that you can serve with me for 7 years more (Genesis 29).
7 And he continued on his way down and began to speak to the woman; and she was still right in Samson's eyes.
8 Now after a while he went on back to take her home. Meantime he turned aside to look at the carcass of the lion, and there there was a swarm of bees in the lion's corpse, and honey.
9 So he scraped it out into his palms and walked on, eating as he walked. When he rejoined his father and his mother, he at once gave them some, and they began to eat. And he did not tell them that it was out of the corpse of the lion that he had scraped the honey.
10 And his father continued on his way down to the woman, and Samson proceeded to hold a banquet there; for that was the way the young fellows used to do.
11 And it came about that, on their seeing him, they immediately took 30 groomsmen, that these should keep with him.
12 Then Samson said to them: Let me, please,
propound a riddle to you. If you will without fail tell it to me during the 7 days of the banquet and you do solve it, I shall in that case have to give you 30 undergarments and 30 outfits of clothing.
13 But if you are unable to tell it to me,
you yourselves also must give me 30 undergarments and 30 outfits of clothing. At this they said to him: Do propound your riddle, and let us hear it.
14 So he said to them: Out of the eater something to eat came forth, And out of the strong something sweet came forth.
And they proved unable to tell the riddle for 3 days.
15 And it came about on the 4th day that they began to say to Samson's wife: Fool your husband that he may tell us the riddle.
Otherwise we shall burn you and the house of your father with fire. Was it to take our possessions that you people invited us here?
16 Consequently Samson's wife began to weep over him and to say: You only hate me, you do, and you do not love me. There was a riddle that you propounded to the sons of my people, but to me you have not told it. At this he said to her: Why, to my own father and my own mother I have not told it, and ought I to tell it to you?
17 But she kept weeping over him the 7 days that the banquet continued for them, and it came about on the 7th day that finally he told her, because she had pressured him. Then she told the riddle to the sons of her people.
18 So the men of the city said to him on the 7th day before ever he could go into the interior room: What is sweeter than honey, And what is stronger than a lion? In turn he said to them: If you had not plowed with my young cow, you would not have solved my riddle (Judges 14).
1356 And I heard [new subaccount] what was as a voice of a great crowd and as a voice/sound of many waters and as a voice/sound of heavy thunders. They said: Praise ye Jah! because Lord, the God of us, the Almighty, has begun to reign [The heavy thunders must be saints, since thunder is a heavenly phenomenon. These thunders are predicted and preceded by the lightening of the 3rd presence. They praise Jah when they enter into the ark on 2019Tishri17 and on 2019Heshvan22 and on 2019Chislev20 and on 2019Tebbeth18 and 2020Tammuz19 for the 3rd to the 7th marriages, and on 2020Ab17/Elul22/Tishri20/Heshvan18 for the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th marriage HLCs, and on 2024Tebbeth16-20 and 2024Shebat15-20 and 2024VeAdar15-20 for the 2028Shebat2 and 2028Adar2 2NC marriages. The many waters are the priests. They praise Jah when the priests enter into the ark from 2025Tishri15-21 - 2026Tishri15-21 (whereupon they get Jesus as Caesar) and from 2026Elul16-2026Heshvan5, when the 3rd Holy Spirit is 4EC baptised into Zoar. But Elijah does not come down to the King, until the 3rd chief of 50 of 2Kings1, who is 2026Heshvan5/Chislev5. THIS Great Crowd is the sons of the 4EC (many waters) and the saints (heavy thunders). It is NOT the sons of the FRC or the LRC]
The great crowd of the faithful, are solid in their faith
The many waters are liquid, the priesthood
The heavy thunders, the serious heavenly people, the saints, those who are gaseous, a cloud, have evaporated becoming angelic! saying Allhlouia!

Let us rejoice and be overjoyed, and let us give him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself []
8
Yes, it has been granted to her to be arrayed in bright, clean, fine-linen, for the fine-linen stands for the righteous acts of the holy ones [the 1NC saints and reserve saints are declared righteous in spirit. They are get a white robe when they are rebaptised into Laodicea for the Watchtower Passovers]

And he tells me: Write: Happy are those invited to the evening meal of the Lamb's marriage [Not the engagement party on the marriage Passover, but those who attend the marital supper on veil lifting
day. This cannot be the 1NC marital supper days on 2008Nisan29, 2015Iyyar27, 2019Tishri23, 2019Heshvan28, 2019Chislev27, 2019Tebbeth25, 2020Tammuz26, 2020Ab24, 2020Elul29, 2020Tishri27, 2020Heshvan25, because there were 7 1NCs marriages and
4 HLC marriage. It must be the 2NC marital supper and veil lifting day on 2028Adar9. BECAUSE they see behind the veil to the resurrected and descended bride, a kingdom manifestation]. Also, he tells me: These are the true/dependable sayings of God.

At that I fell down before his feet to worship him. But he tells me [responding to John's actions]: Be careful!
Do not do that! All I am is a fellow-slave of you and of your brothers who have the witness to [not of]
Jesus. Worship God; for the witness to [not of]
Jesus is the spirit of prophecy
[This must mark the end of a sign since it is real, i.e. out of vision]
(Revelation 19).
Jesus is referred to as a lamb because he was the greater Passover lamb, dying on the Passover day, Nisan14, good Friday, to end all Passover lamb sacrifices. We read of John the Baptist:
29 The next day he beheld Jesus coming toward him, and he said: See, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world! (John 1).
The 3 phases of matter (solid, liquid and gas) are the 3 states of saved people (citizens, priests and kings/lords = angels)135
