Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus is portrayed as the bridegroom (Matt 25:1; John 3:29; Eph 5:22-32).

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.
