God wove into the Old Testament perfect pictures of salvation so that we would later marvel and praise His intelligence! This one is the Betrothal and Marriage of Christ to His Bride pictured by the Jewish Betrothal and Marriage ceremonies. The detail is incredible!
Not only are these Biblical pictures cause for amazement, but they are also prophetic proof to us that God is real and that He planned to give us Salvation (the name Yeshua means " Yahweh is salvation") long before we knew we would need it.

The Royal Invitation
The following is an invitation to all who want to come to the marriage supper of the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ, or Yeshua). All are welcome, but will we be ready when God finishes the preparations and comes to let us know?
"And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut." | Matthew 25:10
The Royal Invitation
You are cordially invited to partake in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
by being cleansed in His blood (Heb. 9:14), which He shed for your salvation (Heb. 2:14).
By pledging your heart (Rom. 10:9–10) to His plans and purposes for your life,
He promises to lead (Rom. 8:14) and guide you in the ways of truth (John 16:13),
Provide for all your needs, physically and spiritually (Matt. 6:32–34),
Shower you with gifts (1 Cor. 12:1–10; Romans 12:6–8)
By His Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit),
With whom He will fill you (Joel 2:28–29; Eph. 5:18),
And Wash you in the water of His Word (Eph. 5:25–26
So that you may be used (2 Tim. 3:16) to tell others about this glorious feast.
As a token of His love for you, you will be given a ring to seal you as His own (Eph.1:13
As He rejoices over you, His bride (Isa. 62:5),
And clothes you in the wedding garments of salvation and righteousness (Isa. 61:10).

What Must I Do to Be Saved?
1. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" | Romans 3:23
Man Has a Problem, and That Problem is Sin.
2. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." | Romans 6:23
Sin Has Wages (A Paycheck): If You've Sinned (Broken Even One of the Ten Commandments), Your Wage is Death.
Death means: 1] Physical Death, and 2] Spiritual Death (spiritual separation from God after death: eternity in the lake of fire)
3. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." | Rom 5:8
The Good News is That God Doesn't Want You to Pay for Your Sins, Because He Loves You
4. What Should You Do to Be Saved? Nothing! Believe on the Finished Work of Christ (His Death on the Cross). After Jesus died, he was buried, and lay in the grave for three days. Then God raised Him from the dead, proving His authority over death and hell!
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." | Romans 10:13
God wants us to be saved so much that He not only foresaw the problem (sin), but planned to give us a way of escape (from the wrath). This way is found in Jesus Christ alone (if you add anything to this, you are boasting yourself to be your own Savior)! In John 14:6, Jesus stated that no man can come to the Father (in heaven) but by Him. He is the only way to salvation and eternal life in heaven.
Wherever you are, whatever you have done in your life, God is never too far away or too angry at sin to hear the cry of a sinner who comes to Him ready to exchange a life of sin for the righteous life of His Son. You can pray to Him, telling Him of your desire to be saved. There are no magic words, and that is why I will leave the wording to you.
Speak from your heart, be sincere, confess your sin, and give Him your life. Tell him thank you for the gift of Jesus, His Son, and ask Him to send His Holy Spirit to come into your heart so you will be born again as He commanded. He promises that he will not cast away anyone who comes to Him.
The Devil Will Tempt You to Put Off Salvation
After Death, We Must Stand Before God and Be Judged. We Don't Know What Day That is, So Make Sure You're Ready for Judgment Day by Getting Saved Now.
"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
"Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."
| Acts 17:30–31
"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." | 2 Corinthians 5:20
If You Just Got Saved
"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." | 2 Corinthians 5:21
Isn't this verse amazing?
Christians sometimes call salvation justification, which means that God put all our sin on Christ's account, and all Christ's righteousness on our account (just as you read in the Bible verse above). Even though, after salvation, we will still commit sin and literally we still deserve the lake of fire, God promises in his word (Romans 10:13) that he will hear us and grant our (and His) desire when we call upon Him for salvation. This is because God has set His terms in His Word and by calling on Him (in prayer) we are agreeing with His will and obeying His Word. When we accept His promise of salvation and submit ourselves under Christ as our Savior, He writes our name in the Book of the Lamb.
If you have received Christ after reading this, you have been born again in your spirit and God calls you his child. But that isn't all! There's a lot more to know about how to please God now that you have given your life to Him. This can be called Sanctification (sanctified, or set apart for God).

Welcome & Invitation
Welcome
Welcome to my blog! The story behind the name can be found in the Bible (King James Version), in Matthew 22:2: "The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,"Invitation
Jehovah God (translated "Yahweh" in Hebrew), the Creator of the Universe, offers salvation (eternal salvation from the holy wrath of God over, and the penalty for, our sin) free of charge to anyone who will accept it. This salvation is free now because Jesus (translated "Yeshua" in Hebrew) paid the price for it once and for all by shedding His Blood on the cross. If you have never heard of Him, or want to accept Him as your Savior from your sin, click here.
Who Has Warned You to Flee From the Wrath to Come?
The Bible says that Christ will soon return to set up His physical kingdom on earth. Before He returns, there will be a time of great tribulation (pressure, anguish, trouble) such as the world has never seen.
The Bible predicted that at the "End of the World" there would also be wars, rumors of wars, signs in the skies, and that the powers in heaven shall be shaken. The Bible also states:
"Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets" | Amos 3:7
We are already seeing these signs of the times predicted in the Bible, by the prophets of old, and also being predicted today by men and women that God has raised up to be "watchmen". The purpose of these watchmen is to warn everyone to "flee from the wrath to come." Hurricane Katrina, and many other storms and disasters (rightly called, "Acts of God") were prophesied in the spirits and ears of these watchmen long before these disasters occurred. These men got on the radio, the internet, TV and warned people to flee, so that their lives and homes would not be destroyed in these disasters that God sent to judge America for her sins (abortion, murder, rebellion, disobedience, witchcraft, satanism, etc.).
As the time of great tribulation spoken of in the Bible approaches, it is evident that the world is already in tribulation. Christians in many countries are being increasingly persecuted, and America, for one, has yet to see many more and worse disasters. One of my desires for this blog is to use it as a platform to set before you the prophecies about America and the Judgments to come and make sure that you learn about them before they happen. More importantly, my desire is that you realize that God does not want anyone to die in their sins and suffer for them for eternity in the lake of fire with the devil and his angels (whose purpose in life is to steal, kill, and destroy you). Instead, I pray that this blog will be a tool to help you come to know the One Who can both deliver you from evil in this life and from the lake of fire in the next life. Don't put Him off! He is coming quickly. Only mercy holds Him back! And love for His Bride rushes Him on.
"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
"Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
"When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day."
| 2 Thessalonians 1:8–10
