Hugo: 羔羊的婚禮

在哈米吉多頓大戰(Harmagedon)的前夕,烏鴉對螢火蟲說, “《聖經》記載了未來的婚禮(Matthew 22:1-14),這是什麼樣的婚禮?誰可以參加呢? ”

螢火蟲提出了意見,“《聖經》說,‘Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.’(Revelation 19:7)、‘The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.’(John3:29) 、‘Then the angel said to me, Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb! And he added, These are the true words of God.’(Revelation 19:9)、‘Without fail I shall exult in Jehovah. My soul will be joyful in my God. For he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; with the sleeveless coat of righteousness he has enwrapped me, like the bridegroom who, in a priestly way, puts on a headdress, and like the bride who decks herself with her ornamental things.’(Isaiah 61:10)、‘For just as a young man takes ownership of a virgin as his wife, your sons will take ownership of you as a wife. And with the exultation of a bridegroom over a bride, your God will exult even over you.’(Isaiah 62:5)、 ‘I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.’(Revelation 21:2)、 ‘And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.’(Revelation 14:1),這不就是這婚禮的特質嗎?

“《聖經》說,‘A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John, who bore witness to the word God gave and to the witness Jesus Christ gave, even to all the things he saw. Happy is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who observe the things written in it; for the appointed time is near.’(Revelation 1:1-3),只有那些事先穿上禮服的God's Slaves可以參加這典禮,不是嗎?”
