A Corpse Bride Wedding and a Full Moon

October 13, 2019 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

Time is running out, the rapture is near

Skeletons at the Banquet Table

I went to a family wedding yesterday that had an unusual theme.  Being that it’s October, the overarching theme was Halloween, but more specifically, many of the decorations were directly from Tim Burton’s animated musical dark fantasy film titled ‘Corpse Bride’.

At the wedding banquet table, there were a pair of lifesize skeletons, dressed as the bride and the groom, saving the newlywed’s seats.

I’m undecided about how transparent I should be in sharing my thoughts and feelings about the significance of the symbolism behind the couple’s choice of theme and decorations.

I’ll just spill it.

First, I’m saddened that the first wedding two of my preteen sons ever attended was decorated like this.

Why?

corpse bride wedding october 2019A wedding is the joining together of one man with one woman, the groom and the bride, both created in the image of Jesus our Creator.  The true significance of a wedding is of Jesus as the groom who is joining with his bride, the Church, for all eternity. It is both a covenant and a celebration of hope, joy, purity, holiness, life, and love.

Truth be told, the symbolism of Halloween and skeletons represent a celebration of evil spirits and death, sadness, loss and grieving, ugliness and that which is ‘filthy’ or ‘unclean’.

The officiant of the ceremony was a friend of the bride and groom. When he finished with his part a guest pastor was called up to deliver an obligatory 30-second prayer to close the ceremony.

No Bible verses. No communion. No cross. No mention of the name of Jesus.

I’m saddened and bothered.  It seems that this couple places more importance on having fun and worldly entertainment than on the sanctity of marriage.

I’m not mad at them, I can’t be.  Also, I don’t believe they intended to make a mockery of what a wedding is supposed to represent.  Yet they freely chose to make the event their own and knew what they didn’t want it to represent.

They may sincerely believe that they are serious about each other and their public commitment to each other, but it’s hard for me to take them seriously.  Their choices are more along the lines of what I would expect from unsupervised children tasked with planning an important event for adults.  For some reason, the book ‘The Lord of the Flies’ comes to mind.

Their farcical wedding is a commentary on the Last Generation.  Choosing death over life.  Choosing the corruption of this world over God and the promises of indescribable goodness that he has waiting in Heaven for those who love him.

They chose themes tied to the Prince of Darkness rather than the Prince of Peace, the Light who came into this world, who darkness flees from.  No doubt, while planning their wedding there was much laughter, hilarity, and a mindset that ‘Life is just a party’.

On our way to the wedding, while driving through the country, the sun was beginning to set.  There were vineyards, orchards, and fields of grain on both sides of the highway.

Half of the grapes in the vineyards had already been harvested.  Fallen apples were covering the ground in the orchards.

Grapes and apples are harvested around the time of Succot, a seven or eight-day Jewish feast that is also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, which happens to begin today, October 13th.

In the Bible, grapes represent the non-believers, grain represents the Church, and Sukkot is when the last grain is brought into the barn.

There is a full moon tonight, called a Hunter’s Moon.  The moon is symbolic of the Church. Having no source of light itself, the moon fully reflects the light of the Sun as the Church reflects the light of the Son of God, Jesus/Yeshua.  The full moon, in all of its glory from Christ, reflects the most light in the evening sky, when surrounded by darkness.

There is a time spoken of in Romans 11:25, a time that is quickly approaching when the “fullness of the gentiles comes in”.

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way, all Israel will be saved. As it is written:

“The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

What if?  What if the fullness of the gentiles, also known as ‘the Church’, were to coincide with the fullness of the moon on Succot one of these years?  Another name for Succot is the Feast of Ingathering.

This is just a thought, not a prediction.

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,  not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.
– 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2

The time is near.  If you haven’t yet accepted the gift of forgiveness for all of your sins and wrongdoings, an undeserved gift that can only come from the King by believing that Jesus/Yeshua is God, God who came down from Heaven, born as a male child, who lived a sinless life, taking the penalty for your sins upon himself before he died on the cross, and then rose from the dead three days later, conquering Satan and death for once and for all …then you better start believing.  He can come back at any moment now.

There is an hourglass that was turned over a long time ago, and the very last few grains of sand are slipping away.  A couple of thousand years may seem like a long time to us humans, but to God, it is as if only a couple of days have passed.

When time is up, it’ll be too late to join the Bride who God is coming to take away from this fallen world and up to Heaven before his wrath is poured out upon the planet, like never before.

No matter what wrong you’ve done… God is faithful to forgive you and restore you, and welcome you like a loving father into his arms.  He’s waiting.  Jesus/Yeshua said,

“In My Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”
– John 14:2

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
– Romans 10:13

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
Matthew 24:36-44

 

Jesus is the Son of Man.  Jesus’ original name in Hebrew is Yeshua. The literal meaning of ‘Yeshua’ is ‘salvation’.
If you want to know Truth, then in your heart, in your mind, call out to him, “Jesus Save Me!” and doors will open.

Jesus Christ Second Coming Soon

April 12, 2007 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

Jesus is Coming Soon : Last Days MessageWhat if the titles of today's popular movie releases were applied to upcoming biblical prophecies of end-time events which draw nearer each day? Lets consider a few…

  • 'An Inconvenient Truth' by Al Gore: Jesus Christ is the Way, the only Way. No apologies for this truth, and there is nothing you can do to change it. Global Warming smells of Global Government. While it is true that we may be experiencing climate change in parts of the world, to suggest that that it is permanent or potentially catastrophic unless humans alter their behavior is absurd and is largely backed by what can only be called 'bad science'. To refute this 'theory' is to be labeled 'stupid' by the liberal media juggernaut. However, I must admit that I am amazed at the momentum building behind this unprecedented merger of environmental causes and politcal agendas.For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
    Isaiah 9:6
  • Leonardo DiCaprio's '11th Hour' champions various 'Green' evironmental causes. DiCaprio states "we're on the brink" and "the hour is near". www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/05/dicaprio200705And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
    Romans 13:11
  • During the family dinner hour movie trailers are being broadcast on network television which could hardly be described as suitable for young children to view. Currently there is a trailer for a movie called 'The Reaping' starring Hillary Swank and David Morrissey which is COMING SOON. The movie depicts a variety of biblical plagues which affect people on earth. The 'reaping' these filmmakers are referring to is the Great Tribulation as described in the Book of Revelation. While a 'reaping' is coming soon, what is more important is believing that Jesus the messiah is COMING SOON (for the 2nd time), so I suppose suppose Hollywood would tag any movie they made on this impending event as
    2nd COMING SOON. For more info read Revelation."This is what the LORD declares: " 'The dead bodies of men will lie like refuse on the open field, like cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather them.'"
    Jeremiah 9:22

     

    I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
    Revelation 3:11

    "Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."
    Revelation 22:7

    "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
    Revelation 22:12

    He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
    Revelation 22:20

  • 'Are We Done Yet?' starring Ice Cube: No man knows the day or the hour.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
    Matthew 24:36

     

     

  • 'Black Book': Don't let your misinformed prejudices prevent you from reading the most-read book in history which leads to 'The Book of Life'.He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
    Revelation 3:5

     

    If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
    Revelation 20:15

  • 'The Lookout': Watch! Be ready!"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."
    Matthew 25:13
  • 'After the Wedding': people will coninue as always, eating, drinking, marrying while the wedding supper of the Lamb is being prepared in Heaven.As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
    Matthew 24:37-39

     

    Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " And he added, "These are the true words of God."
    Revelation 19:9

  • 'Live Free or Die': The price has been paid for your soul by the blood of Jesus…accept His free gift of eternal life or die. Choose wisely.For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
    John 3:16

     

    Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.
    John 3:36

    Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
    John 17:12

For the greatest part, Hollywood continues to churn out garbage wrapped all pretty with a bow in an attempt to pass it off as entertainment or even more fashionably as urgent information for how you can help 'save the planet'. But in the end, Hollywood is going to burn like the rest of the world.

Hollywood burning 2007

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
2 Peter 3:10-13
