Throughout scripture, God talks to us about the Great Wedding Banquet or the Feast in the Kingdom of God. From the Old Testament to the New, God refers to the church as the bride of Christ and we are even told, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding support of the Lamb” (Rev 19:9). But the traditions of a wedding in the Galilean culture is significantly different to what we experience as a wedding in America. Unpacking traditions of a Galilean wedding not only uncovers much of what Jesus spoke of about weddings but also is directly relevant to prophecy about His second coming and the Rapture. With this background, we are then equipped to dive into the parable of the Great Banquet and how that directly applies to the Jews, the Gentiles, and our role of inviting others to the Banquet.
