wedding garments

 WEDDING GARMENTS

Our teacher, Yeshua the Messiah, spoke at one time of a certain King, who had invited many people to his son’s wedding.  When those he had invited at the first,  refused to come, he extended the invitation to others, so that his house would be full.  But then one man entered without a wedding garment, and was cast out into outer darkness.

Mat 22:11 KJV And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

Mat 22:12 KJV And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Mat 22:13 KJV Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mat 22:14 KJV For many are called, but few are chosen.

Now this is no ordinary wedding, this is all about the marriage supper of the lamb, as described in Rev 19:9.  

Did you know that there was a dress code requirement to attend this marriage supper?

Apparently the consequences of not knowing about and adhering to this dress code are extreme.  Unless a soul likes grinding their teeth in extremely dark places, for long periods of time, they may want to learn how they are expected to dress.

Years earlier, a prophet named Isaiah was also writing about a garment of salvation, while alluding to a wedding, and in doing so, he left us a clear clue:

Isa 61:10 KJV I will greatly rejoice in יהוה, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

This Hebrew word for salvation [3468 ST] is the root word for our teacher, Yeshua, who came to save His people from their sins.

Now that we know for certain that Yeshua is our wedding garment, how do we go about putting Yeshua on? 

[At this point many seem to pull the answer out of thin air, but to me, the consequences of being wrong are far too severe, I need scripture.]

The apostle Paul simplifies this subject for all believers:

Gal 3:27 NHEB-ME 

For as many of you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah.

 We already knew that the Messiah is our salvation, now we know that he can be our garment of salvation, even our wedding garment.  If we will obey the command by faith,  to take on his name in water baptism.

Historically, the antichrist has baptized his converts into titles, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Who’s convert are you?
