If Christ Returned Today would you be a True Bride?
Why do you think the bible referred to Lord Jesus as the Bridegroom and all Christians as Brides (Mt 9:15)? Bear with me a moment as we share on this thought for today:
1. Heaven expected Israel to receive Lord Jesus as the long prophesied Messiah from the book of Isaiah 9 and others. The Israelite were the chosen people destined to work with Lord Jesus as He restored God's blood lineage on Earth…God's family. This was all prophesied in the book of Matthews 22:1-5 as the wedding supper of the Lord and re-prophesied in the book of Revelation 19:1-21:Rev. 19:7-9: ”Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb”.
2. Lord Jesus’ marriage was to be the bases of restoring Heaven’s Dominion on Earth, a dominion originally promised to Adam and Eve but stolen by Satan through their failure to be responsible in upholding the Words of God. God had said “Don’t Eat…”, while Satan said “Eat…”. Adam & Eve eat for some reason, showing their lack of faith in God’s words and their allegiances to Satan; remember Rev 12:9 tells us that the ancient serpent was clearly the Devil.
3. To overcome this great failure of responsibility God created religion as a social institution with the vision, mission and core values meant to lead us back into the Garden of Eden on Earth. Originally Judaism as the Old Testament age religion was to have the distinct honor of fulfilling this destiny through their reception of Lord Jesus as the Heavenly Bridegroom, but they failed this responsibility by rejecting Lord Jesus as their Messiah.
4. As Christians today we realize that Lord Jesus was the living temple of God on Earth. We accept that He came from heaven as the Way, the Truth and the Light back towards God’s Kingdom on Earth. What we don’t understand from modern day Christianity is heaven’s expectation for his marriage! Had He been able to marry in the proper Jewish tradition, He would have born and raised children with the direct blood lineage of God on earth. This was the ultimate miraculous expectation of religion. After this, humanity would no longer need religion as God’s blood lineage would once again dwell on earth and I don’t mean the internet reported hypothetical children of Mary Magdalene. For even if they existed they would lack the benefit of Jesus raising them to perfection, thus Satan would have already re-corrupted their bloodline by now.
5. Besides His own family, the Lord would have also been able to bless His followers by cleansing them of their past sins (Mt 9:6) without necessarily having to die. He would have been able to guide those followers in the principles and value of heavenly marriage as the means to extend God’s presence on Earth and increase the channel of birth for His extended blood lineage in the flesh.
6. This would have led to a population explosion of the Royal Bloodline from His family, to His extended tribe, their nation and ultimately a “One World Family Centered on God”. Of course science and technology would have also flourished much earlier than today providing the social-economic means to sustain such an explosion of new life! This was all part of heaven’s original vision for building the Kingdom of God on Earth through the birth and life of Lord Jesus Christ.
7. Had Israel properly received the Lord and allowed Him to settle amongst them with God’s teachings and heart, He would have gradually been empowered to rise politically until their collective strength could have non-violently and democratically allowed Jesus to challenge even the great Roman Empire as their next Caesar. This was what the prophet Isaiah meant when he wrote in Is 9: 6-7:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this”.
8. Regrettably Israel didn’t know the hour of their visitation (Lk 19:44), so their Lord was led to the slaughter for theirs and all of our sins as children of Satan; while they were disenfranchised as the chosen people destined to build God’s Kingdom on Earth. In Mt. 21:43 Lord Jesus prophesied the fate of Judaism and the rise of Christianity:
Mt21:42-44: “Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone (Lord Jesus) which the builders (Israel as original builders of God’s Kingdom on Earh) rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is miraculous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof (that new nation today is global Christianity centered on Korea). And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder (referring to the destruction of Israel as the chosen nation).”
9. Because Lord Jesus died prior to building the foundation of citizens who could be responsible to build god’s Kingdom on Earth; he prophesied though, in the book of revelation, about His 2nd coming. In 1936 a young Korean Christian child had a profound experience with Lord Jesus. He wrote in His autobiography that Lord Jesus commissioned him as the Lord of the 2nd Coming. While few Christians believe this, over 144,000 Unificationists worldwide (including myself) can testify to this truth. Not until biblical scholars awaken to the true interpretation of this final chapter of the bible, will mankind awaken to the true value of the life and ascension of Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon as the 2nd coming of Lord Jesus Christ.
10. In closing, I ask you once again if Christ was to come today; however you envision it to happen, would you be His true bride?
Love you all forever
