Every message these days seems to flow from the Song of Songs. He is coming back for us, His Bride! We are the delight of His heart, created in His image, the apple of His eye, the crown of His creation!

His love is our driving force for readiness. Let’s love Him back with all our hearts, minds, souls, and strength by the power of the Holy Spirit!

I was 45 years old on my wedding day. I couldn’t believe I was getting married and no one else could either. Dusty and I planned our wedding to be a grand worship service!

I was so in love; every detail was so important. From the handmade ring pillows to the stitching on my gloves, I could not have been more prepared for that day. As Dusty waited for me at the front of the church, I could see his smile and tears.

But our Bridegroom Yeshua’s handsomeness and eagerness to be with us surpasses anything we could imagine! The culmination of all our desires will be our union with Him at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God! And He has prepared a place for us! He said, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you also will be.” (John 14:3) He is eager to be with us! His love will motivate us in our preparation!

Let’s walk together through the following verses keeping in mind His delight and eagerness to be with us!

1 Thessalonians 5:2-5For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord is coming just like a thief in the night.While they say, “Peace and safety!” sudden destruction will come upon them like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness that the day would overtake you like a thief for you are all sons of light and sons of day! We are not of night nor of darkness.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Behold, I am telling you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!

Matthew 24:27, 30-31
For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be visible everywhere.
And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet blast, and they will gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other!

Revelation 1:7
⁷Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So, it is to be. Amen!

Daniel 12:2-3
²And many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. ³And those who have insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever!

Isaiah 62:3-5
³You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord
And a royal headband in the hand of your God.
⁴It will no longer be said to you, “Azubah,” [Forsaken]
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Shemamah,” [Desolate]
But you will be called, “Hephzibah” [My delight is in her]
And your land, “Beulah” [Married]
For the Lord delights in you, and to Him your land will be married.
⁵For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you;
And as the joy of the groom is over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you!

Isaiah 35 (Please read the entire chapter! These are just a few verses. For more, see The Highway.)
The wilderness and the desert will be glad…it will blossom profusely and rejoice with joy!

They will see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God!
Encourage the exhausted and strengthen the feeble.
Say to those with anxious heart, “Take courage, fear not.”
Behold, your God will come with vengeance… But He will save you.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,
And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. [We will all be changed.]
The lame will leap like a deer, and the mute will shout for joy.
The scorched land will become a pool and the thirsty ground springs of water;
A highway will be there, a roadway, and it will be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean will not travel on it, but it will be for the one who walks that way. [Yeshua is the Way!]
The redeemed will walk there,
And the ransomed of the Lord will return with everlasting joy upon their heads.
They will find gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away!

Revelation 19:7
⁷Let’s rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready!”

Revelation 22:17
¹⁷The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires, take the water of life without cost!

Everyone is welcome! Receive Yeshua and live! Come! Be a part of His redeemed family!
