When Jesus comes in the clouds to gather the saints (Matt 24:29-31;
1 Thess 4:13), the saints received their "fine white
linen robes of righteousness" (Rev 19:7). These white
robes of righteousness were the same as the robes that tribulation saints received earlier
(Rev 7:9).
Jesus' Parable of the Wedding Banquet (Matt 22:1-14)
provides context to this heavenly event and indicates that these white robes of righteousness are necessary to
gain a seat at the Marriage Supper.
