THE 3 STAGES OF THE GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE BETWEEN CHRIST & HIS BRIDE, And Between A Man And His Wife. If You Want To Be Saved, You Must Comply With These 3 Processes of Salvation.



Marriage is a holy and divine institution, created by the Creator God of everything that exists. The three (3) stages of Marriage are applicable both to the physical and spiritual dimensions, that is, to the Marriage between a human Man and Wife, and between Christ and His Bride (Ephesians 5:31-32). Yes, Marriage is a GREAT MYSTERY, and everything revolves around it; including the Salvation and Eternal Life of Mankind. Since Marriage was created for this purpose, God the Father wants to emphasize the sanctity and great importance of Marriage upon Men and Women, and most especially, to the Marriage of Christ and His Bride. Its very name in Hebrew, "kiddushin," means "sanctification." This ideal purpose is shown in the details of the wedding ceremony proceedings prior to the consecration of the CHUPPAH (wedding canopy), and immediately after that.

THERE ARE 3 PHASES OR PROCESSES OF GODLY MARRIAGE, WHICH ARE THE
PROCESSES FOR THE SALVATION OF MAN AT CHRIST'S RETURN
  1. BETROTHAL 
  2. NUPTIAL 
  3. UNION
According to God the Father's WILL and standards, all these three are necessary for a Marriage to be considered binding and legal. And for you to be saved and be included in the genuine BRIDE OF CHRIST at His return.

1. BETROTHAL (Consecration). Once you repented of your sins, accepted Christ as
your Savior, and was baptized, then you are betrothed to Him. This is the start of the Marriage Covenant, which is the Legal and Contractual phase.  Betrothal is very different from the marriage engagement between sweethearts of today. Betrothal is legally binding. The persons involved are already considered as having a legal marriage.  

As BETROTHAL is a Marriage Covenant, it has to do with CONSECRATION. For the Physical Marriage, this means that the Bridegroom is not free to court or have another marital relationship with another woman. It's the same with the betrothed wife; she is not free to be courted or to have marital relationship with another Man. 

For the Spiritual Marriage to Christ, that means that you are not allowed to have relationship with another Church or Religion that is contrary to Christ's teachings and practices. Otherwise, you become unfaithful to Christ. You are consecrated to that person, or to Christ, that you are already betrothed with. You are already legally and spiritually joined to that person. 

THE BRIDEGROOM GOES AWAY TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR HIS BRIDE


According to the Jewish Marriage customs, there is a 1-year interval between the Betrothal and Nuptial stages. Thus, the Bridegroom goes away for a period of about 1 year. By this time He builds a house or prepares a residential dwelling for His Bride next to His Father’s House (John 14:2-3).
  • In my Father's house are many Mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you (John 14:2 KJV)
For an in-depth explanation about the meaning of Mansions, go to: WHAT ARE THE "MANY MANSIONS" MENTIONED BY CHRIST IN JOHN 14:2? The "MANSIONS" Are Offices and Positions of Leadership and Authority in the Kingdom of God the Father!
So Christ went to His Father in Heaven after His resurrection from the dead, where He is now sitting at the Right Hand of God the Father (Mark 16:19, Luke 22:69, Acts 5:31). And the BRIDE OF CHRIST remains here on Earth. Christ promised His BRIDE that He will surely return to fetch Her (John 14:3).
  • If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also. (Joh 14:3)
THE DAY AND HOUR OF CHRIST'S RETURN WILL BE REVEALED TO THE GENUINE BRIDE OF CHRIST!

But, for the exact time of Christ's return, only the Father knows. This means that only the Father has the final say or authority to decide when should Christ return to Earth. In other words, it is only the WILL of the Father that will determine the exact day and hour of Christ's actual return to Earth! And Christ always submit to the WILL OF GOD THE FATHER (Mark 13:32)
  • But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.  (Mar 13:32 KJV)
But God the Father will reveal the exact Day and Hour to the BRIDEGROOM (Christ) and His BRIDE!

The Father must first inspect the premises of the dwelling place of the Bride and the Bridegroom, as well as, the spiritual preparation and readiness of the BRIDE OF CHRIST. If it’s OK according to His requirements and standards, then the Father will reveal the exact Day and Hour to the BRIDEGROOM (Christ), and to the BRIDE OF CHRIST the exact Day and Hour of Christ's arrival on Earth (Amos 3:7).
  • Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His Servants the Prophets.  (Amo 3:7 KJV)
The Bride knew that the Bridegroom will come in a Night. This is prophesied in the Song of Solomon, and in Matthew 25:6.
  • And AT MIDNIGHT there was a cry made, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. (Mat 25:6 KJV)
The Night is a metaphor for the Great Tribulation at the end of the age. Thus, the Darkness at the end of the age, which is the time of Christ's return, will become so thick and blinding. While waiting, the Bride is commanded to be always ready and to watch world events, analyzing the signs of the times, and the changes of the seasons (Matthew 24:32-33, 42-44).

GOD'S COVENANT REQUIRES A SHEDDING OF BLOOD

God's Covenant requires a shedding of blood. This is a secret of Christ’s Passover meal with the Passover wine symbolizing His Blood. Christ poured out His blood in Calvary at Passover time. The Bridegroom went to the mountain of Myrrh and Frankincense (Solomon 4:6), which means the Groom is to die for His Bride. He is anointed for His burial.
  • Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. (Son 4:6 KJV)
According to Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary:
Historically, the hill of frankincense is Calvary, where, “through the eternal Spirit He offered Himself”; the mountain of myrrh is His embalmment (Joh_19:39) till the resurrection “daybreak.” The third Canticle occupies the one cloudless day of His presence on earth, beginning from the night (Son_2:17) and ending with the night of His departure (Son_4:6). His promise is almost exactly in the words of her prayer (Son_2:17), (the same Holy Ghost breathing in Jesus Christ and His praying people), with the difference that she then looked for His visible coming. He now tells her that when He shall have gone from sight, He still is to be met with spiritually in prayer (Psa_68:16; Mat_28:20), until the everlasting day break, when we shall see face to face (1Co_13:10, 1Co_13:12).

2. NUPTIAL (Convocation). This is the Ritual and Ceremonial phase of the wedding. When the Father sends Christ back to Earth, there will be that marriage ceremony as according to the Jewish wedding ceremony, which is usually done under a Chuppah or Marriage Chamber. During this time, animal sacrifices are butchered.
  • The SUN...which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber (chuppah)... (Psa 19:4-5 KJV) 
The SUN is the symbol of Christ Jesus -- the coming BRIDEGROOM to marry His faithful BRIDE. 
  • …let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. (Joe 2:16 KJV)
THE RETURN OF CHRIST AND HIS MARRIAGE SUPPER WITH HIS FAITHFUL BRIDE
  • And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Rev 19:6 KJV)
  • Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Rev 19:7 KJV)
  • 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. (Rev 19:8 KJV)
  • And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Rev 19:9 KJV)
This is the wedding banquet that will go on for several days. This could be a Feast of the PASSOVER in Jerusalem. This is concerned with Convocation, where there will be the presence of witnesses and friends to witness the wedding ceremony. 

The act of Marriage is an agreement entered into by two people, acknowledging that God is an integral part of the agreement. In the presence of witnesses, the groom then places a ring on the second finger of the Bride’s right hand and declares to the Bride: “Behold, thou art consecrated unto me by this ring according to the Laws of Moses and of Israel." The Groom is saying, "As the laws of Moses and Israel is of Divine origin and bear the seal of truth, so shall our marriage be consecrated. And, as the laws of Moses and Israel forever consecrate all those who enter into its covenant, so shall we be consecrated forever."

Then they proceed to sip wine from the cup of wine.
  • Then He said to them, "I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. (Luk 22:15)
  • For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God." (Luk 22:16)
Blood is also required here. The Fellowship Meal is the one that happened in the so-called Last supper. Here, in the Nuptial stage, there will be that Wedding Banquet (at the return of Christ), where there will be animal sacrifices that are ritually slaughtered.

3. UNION (Consummation).
This is the Physical and Sexual Phase, which means knowing each other intimately, even in a mystical way. There are 2 kinds of knowing or acquiring knowledge: 1) head knowledge (theory), and 2) experiential knowledge (actual or hands-on). 

This Consummation Stage is the Experiential Knowledge; the knowing each other intimately, even romantically or sexually.

This "knowing each other intimately" unites the physical and spiritual dimensions, even in a mystical way. This is a kind of oneness called ACHDUT in Hebrew. The Groom and the Bride were consecrated for each other, and during this stage they become one.

The husband is consecrated before going inside the Bride. This is similar to that of the consecrated High Priest who is the only one allowed by God to go inside the Holy of Holies, and only during the Day Atonement. Thus, the Husband is set apart to KNOW his wife, in a mystical way. 

Only the consecrated husband should go in the Bride. Any other person that go inside the Bride is an abomination to God. Marriage should be pure, permanent, and eternal. That’s why God hates divorce and adultery. This kind of Holy Marriage demonstrates the eternal oneness and unity of the God Head, which is the top 3 Sefirot of the Ten Sefirot.

Father's Will 2: NO ONE CAN BE SAVED WITHOUT DOING THE 'WILL' OF GOD THE FATHER. What is The WILL of God The Father? The Convergence of The Fear of God + Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom + Marriage Covenant, in Heaven and On Earth => GOD THE FATHER'S WILL.



How can you and I understand and do God The Father's WILL? For you to be qualified to receive Eternal Salvation, you must understand the two supernal Secrets or Mysteries of MARRIAGE and the True Gospel of MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM. This can be achieved only if you have the genuine FEAR OF GOD, because this Fear of God is the BEGINNING OF MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM (Psalms 111:10)!



By: LOPE COLUMNA 
MESSIANIC-KABBALIST PASTOR GENERAL
The BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY OF LIFE


WHAT IS THE 'WILL' OF GOD THE FATHER? How Important It Is? 
  • Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY THE ONE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN. (Mat 7:21 HCSB)
The WILL of GOD THE FATHER is for all the Children of Adam (Mankind) to EAT from the TREE OF LIFE. This means studying and internalizing the supernal MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM => The Convergence of Heaven and Earth Sciences and Technologies (Proverbs 3:13, 18).  By doing this, Mankind can have ETERNAL LIFE and dwell forever inside the Garden of Eden with Him. 

For more revelatory explanations, go to: Breaking New Revelation: The WILL OF GOD THE FATHER => To EAT From The TREE OF LIFE!

The Great Mystery of GOD'S COVENANT (Marriage) and the Mystery of the TRUE GOSPEL (Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom) always go together (Psalms 25:14).  
  • The SECRET (Heb. SOD = MESSIANIC KABBALAH) OF THE LORD is with them that FEAR HIM; and He will shew them HIS (MARRIAGE) COVENANT.  (Psa 25:14 KJV)
THE MESSIANIC KABBALAH MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL: HIDDEN SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN, BUT NOW IN THE OPEN!
  • Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL.  (Eph 6:19 HCSB)
  • Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to MY GOSPEL, and THE PREACHING OF JESUS CHRIST, according to THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY, which was kept secret since the world began,  (Rom 16:25 KJV) 
  • But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:  (Rom 16:26 KJV)
And you can understand these two supernal Secrets or Mysteries only if you have the genuine FEAR OF GOD, because this Fear of God is the BEGINNING OF MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM (Psalms 111:10)!
  • The FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF (MESSIANIC KABBALAH) WISDOM. All those who do His Work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!  (Psa 111:10 HNV)
Thus, the genuine FEAR OF GOD leads one to receive and understand GOD'S WISDOM of Messianic Kabbalah (Psalms 111:10).  
Next, once Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is learned, the GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE (GMOM) will be properly understood and appreciated, both of the physical and spiritual dimensions. This GMOM preserves our physical Marriage here on Earth, as we equate it to our spiritual  Marriage relationship to Jesus Christ -- the ultimate Husband, who is in Heaven (Ephesians 5:31-32). 
  • For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.  (Eph 5:31 KJV)
  • This is a GREAT MYSTERY: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church.  (Eph 5:32 KJV)
And possessing the clear understanding of these 2 supernal Mysteries will lead us to understand and do the WILL OF GOD THE FATHER!
  • Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY THE ONE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN. (Mat 7:21 HCSB)

The MYSTERIES of The MESSIANIC KABBALAH TRUE GOSPEL & MARRIAGE Are The WISDOM & POWER For GOD'S PEOPLE To PREPARE & GET READY For The Glorious RETURN And MARRIAGE of Christ!



Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is the only powerful source that fully explains God's NEW COVENANT, which is the MEGA MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE, as mentioned by Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:32. It is now high time for Christ's Bride to be prepared and ready for that soon-coming supernal Marriage of the Lamb! Make sure that you are one of those blessed members of Faithful The BRIDE OF CHRIST, to meet and marry the King Messiah!

God's New Covenant can be understood and achieved only via the Great Mysteries of Marriage and the True Gospel of Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom (Ephesians 5:31-32)!


LIKE ADAM, ALL THE CHURCHES HAVE BROKEN GOD'S COVENANT -- GOD'S MARRIAGE COVENANT!
  • LIKE ADAM, THEY HAVE BROKEN THE COVENANT. They have acted like traitors against Me there.  (Hos 6:7 MKJV)
Adam, by listening to his wife Eve, was corrupted by the Serpent, and was diverted from the complete and pure devotion to Christ (2Cor 11:3).

Like Adam, the Churches, starting from the first century Ephesus Church, have broken God's Covenant. The Ephesus Church, like Adam, possessed God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, before breaking the Covenant. But when they became unfaithful by "leaving their FIRST LOVE" of God, their hearts departed from God causing them to disobey Him (Rev 2:4, 2Cor 11:3).

The loss of this "FIRST LOVE" is analogous to "acting like traitors," (Hosea 6:7), which caused the loss of God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom (True Gospel) and the True Knowledge of  God's Great Mystery of Marriage (GMOM). This Great Mystery of Marriage is the knowledge and understanding of God's Covenant.

For more in-depth explanation, go to: HOW THE FIRST CENTURY EPHESUS CHURCH LEARNED AND LOST THE TRUE GOSPEL OF GOD'S MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM

GOD DESIRES MESSIANIC KABBALAH KNOWLEDGE MORE THAN BURNT OFFERINGS!
  • For I DESIRED MERCY and not sacrifice, and THE KNOWLEDGE (DA'ATH) OF GOD more than burnt offerings.  (Hos 6:6 MKJV)
The word "KNOWLEDGE" in Hosea 6:6 is "DA'ATH" in Hebrew, and it came from the Hebrew "YADA." Here, this KNOWLEDGE refers to an intimacy, as in a marriage intimate relationship, as proven in the marriage relation between Adam and Eve resulting in a child. 
Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is the only KNOWLEDGE that can result to an intimate face-to-face relationship with Christ and God the Father.
  • And ADAM KNEW (YADA) HIS WIFE again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth.  (Gen 4:25 KJV)
Also, the Hebrew DA'ATH is one of the Ten Sefirot of Kabbalah.

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST NEEDS GOD'S MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM TO PREPARE FOR THE COMING MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB -- JESUS CHRIST!

For the genuine BRIDE OF CHRIST to be able to make herself ready for the coming marriage of the Lamb (Rev 19:7), she must recapture God's Messianic Kabbalah Knowledge and Wisdom! And She can only do this by showing Her Faithfulness to God's Marriage Covenant.
  • Let us rejoice, be glad, and give him glory, because THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB HAS COME and HIS BRIDE HAS MADE HERSELF READY.  (Rev 19:7 ISV)
Without the purifying Knowledge of the Great Mystery of Marriage, and the powerful Wisdom of God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, the BRIDE OF CHRIST cannot achieve this required preparation for supernal Marriage of the Lamb. 

Thus, this Mega Mystery of Marriage is now revealed, together with God's greatest revelation of Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom; to fully equip the BRIDE OF CHRIST in Her job of purification and sanctification required for the Messiah's forthcoming marriage wedding (Revelation 19:7)!

MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM IS THE WISDOM OF JESUS CHRIST => THE KING MESSIAH!
  • And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the Fathers to the Children, and THE DISOBEDIENT TO THE WISDOM OF THE JUST, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.  (Luke 1:17 MKJV)
"THE WISDOM OF THE JUST" is God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom. The word "JUST" is in the singular, and it refers to the KING MESSIAH -- JESUS CHRIST! This means that the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is the Wisdom of the Messiah Jesus Christ! In fact, Jesus Christ is the personification of God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom!

Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is the only powerful source that fully explains God's NEW COVENANT, which is the MEGA MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE, as mentioned by Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:32.
  • For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. (Eph 5:31 KJV)
  • This is A GREAT MYSTERY: but I speak CONCERNING CHRIST AND THE CHURCH.  (Eph 5:32 KJV)
It is now high time for Christ's Bride to be prepared and ready for that soon-coming supernal marriage of the Lamb! Make sure that you are one of those blessed members of TheBRIDE, to meet and marry the King Messiah!
  • And he said to me, Write, Blessed are those who have been called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true sayings of God. (Rev 19:9 MKJV)
Imagine the physical and spiritual impact of the revelation of this great mystery! As I write this article, I became immobile for moments thinking about the import of this revelation! Truly this is mind-boggling.

IF THE WICKED SEXUALLY IMMORAL PEOPLE WILL STILL REFUSE TO REPENT IN HELL, THEY WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED IN THE LAKE OF FIRE! This is the Second Death!



Everyone that practices sexual immorality is given to the OTHER SIDE, that is, the IMPURE SIDE. The Impure Side has no part in God and in the secret of man. When that impure person dies, he/she is delivered to that side. Woe to him or her, for he/she is put in GEHINOM (HELL). This is the secret meaning of Isaiah 66:24.

... see the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their maggots will never die, their fire will never go out, and they will be a horror to all Mankind. (Isa 66:24 HCSB)
IF THE SINNERS, ESPECIALLY THE SEXUALLY IMMORAL PEOPLE STILL REFUSE TO REPENT IN HELL, THEY WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED IN THE LAKE OF FIRE!

All the sinners, especially the immoral and sexual perverts and abusers, are given the chance to repent while they are still on this Earth. If they failed to repent in this world, and they died, they were given the 2nd Chance to repent or be cleansed of their dark sins in HELL!  If still, they decided not to repent, they became total wicked people. For these totally wicked people, God has only one place for their final destination -- the LAKE OF FIRE, which is the 2nd death (Rev 21:8). 
  • For the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, SEXUALLY IMMORAL, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the LAKE THAT BURNS WITH FIRE AND SULFUR, which is the second death."  (Rev 21:8 HNV)
Here, in the Lake of Fire, the wicked's heat of their lustful passions will be matched with, and will be totally destroyed by the fire of the burning lake of fire!
  • "For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up," says the LORD of Armies, "that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.  (Mal 4:1 HNV)
In contrast, the people that repented of their sins, they will be healed of their sins and purified by the blood sacrifice of Christ. They will tread down the unrepentant wicked people who were burned to ashes by the Lake of Fire (Malachi 4:2-3).
  • But to you who fear My Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.  (Mal 4:2 HNV)
  • You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make," says the LORD of Armies.  (Mal 4:3 HNV)
