Zone1 Who leads the bride to the altar?

[Zebra]

Who does?

 

[rightwinger]

A man has to give her away

 

[DGS49]

The cultural norm in the U.S. is that the bride's father ushers the bride to the altar, where the groom takes her hand before the ceremony.

But in today's social environment, it is more than likely that there is some supervening factor that either prevents this tradition from taking place, or allows the bride to deviate for her own reasons. Maybe the father is deceased, maybe he is estranged from the bride, maybe a step-father or other paternal figure has replaced the biological father in some way.

Add to those complications the fact that in the CURRENT culture, brides are allowed to do pretty much what they want for their own wedding, even when it is foolish and the wiser members of her family know that she - the bride - will look back at those wedding photos with regret and/or embarrassment.

Regardless, it is tacky when the bride and groom go down the aisle together. Save that for third and subsequent marriages when nobody gives a shit.

It's usually the father, duh.

Who does?

This is an absolutely brilliant question that I believe will have some sort of allegorical meaning when it comes to the First Resurrection where Messiah Yeshua - Jesus is given His glorified and resurrected allegorical "Bride." Many Christians would term this event "The Rapture." They could well be correct in making that connection?!


At least one near death experiencer was shown some clues about this event. It is my believe that the Ancient of Days, The Father, leads the allegorical Bride of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus to Him!

[Dr. Richard Eby ] :

He paused as though the joy of that thought had overwhelmed him for the moment.

“My Father assures me that the time is yet a little while, but very little. Soon he will call those already in paradise to surround me as we descend from this third heaven to the first heaven around the Earth. The souls of all my saints will be instantly clothed in their new resurrection bodies, as will the living saints on Earth who rise to us in the glory cloud! At the sounding trumpet they all receive new bodies and rise to meet us in the air. We return as my body to my throne room with the Father. Now do you understand why I called this place a temporary abiding place? Do you grasp what it will mean to be one with me and the Father in your incorruptible bodies? My book states that I assumed mankind’s sin so you ‘might be made the righteousness of God’ in me!”

I can clearly recall how Jesus’ voice paused at this moment. He was savoring an anticipation too intense and private to be revealed. Was he pre-living that moment at which he would enjoy the victory which his Father would give him as the eternal reward for his own long-suffering? His own sting of death would be swallowed up, and he would be the omniscient Head of a completed and compliant body for whom he had shed his blood on a terrible cross. He would reign as KING of the Jews after these days of grace. Then his thoughts returned to me.

“My son, when that time has come, my Father will call to me. The applause of the heavenly hosts will be deafening; they too have been awaiting that day, ever since they announced my birth to the shepherds at Bethlehem so long ago. Scoffers will gaze with fear and wonder as my angelic hosts watch me fulfill my promise to my earthly body of believers at my soon return to Earth.

“My book records the many signs which will precede my coming for my family. I tried to explain those events to my disciples, very carefully. I promised them that I was leaving my Holy Spirit as a comforter to instruct them as they studied my word, and to tell them of the things to come. I want my children to be informed about our plans in advance. I want them to be filled with my joy. After all, they are mine: I created them and bought them back from satanic slavery. I told them that I would come for them so that we could be together forever. My Father wants them all to believe Me.”

[Gary Seven]

My grandfather was born in 1914 and basically grew up just before and during the Great Depression. He always said he missed the days when a guy and girl simply ran away, saw a judge or pastor ON THEIR OWN, had their honeymoon, then came back and told their families it was done. I always liked his outlook on that. He made it sound like that approach was once much more popular, and somehow I could see it was true. And I wish people were still like that.

 

[Leo123]

The groom (Man) will take up yoke of protecting the bride (woman). The Father (man) will finally be free of that responsibility. Since no woman can protect another woman from a man the Mother (woman) does not have any real power to give her responsibility of her daughter (bride) away.

Here is a book of a visionary dream by Mrs. Anna Rountree that I believe is a good hint at the powers that the resurrected Bride of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus will have. Notice that Anna follows Jesus even into realms that are claimed by Satan. I do believe that the Kingdom of God will increase and increase and increase and increase as is stated in Isaiah chapters nine and eleven.

The Government of the Promised Son
1Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,
As when at first He lightly esteemed
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
And afterward more heavily oppressed her,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
In Galilee of the Gentiles.
2The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.
3You have multiplied the nation
And increased its joy;
They rejoice before You
According to the joy of harvest,
As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4For You have broken the yoke of his burden
And the staff of his shoulder,
The rod of his oppressor,
As in the day of Midian.
5For every warrior’s sandal from the noisy battle,
And garments rolled in blood,
Will be used for burning and fuel of fire.
6For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

1There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
3His delight is in the fear of the Lord,
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
4But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
5Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
6“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
7The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.
10“And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious.”
11It shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
From Assyria and Egypt,
From Pathros and Cush,
From Elam and Shinar,
From Hamath and the islands of the sea.
12He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
13Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart,
And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
Together they shall plunder the people of the East;
They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab;
And the people of Ammon shall obey them.
15The Lord will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over the River,
And strike it in the seven streams,
And make men cross over dry-shod.
16There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
Who will be left from Assyria,
As it was for Israel
In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt.
