"His Majesty Requests"
An Invitation to the Royal Wedding of the Lamb given to ALL
who love God and their neighbors as themselves.

"You did not choose me, but I chose you" (John 15:16).
Since ancient times, the significant role of the Shadkhan (matchmaker) can be seen from its root word, shidukh (match). Its Aramaic translation, sheket (silence) implies tranquillity, or peacefulness. The matchmaker's lineage traces back to YHVH Himself.

Though it was customary for the father to choose the bride for his son, in many cases the father relied on the services of a matchmaker to help him choose a person of the highest virtue and integrity. From the beginning, YHVH acted as the first Shadkhan, creating Adam and Eve and commanding them to cleave together as one flesh. Eve, taken from Adam's body, became the first bride. In Genesis 24 Abraham's servant Eliezer (YHVH's helper) acted as a matchmaker modeled after the Divine and found the suitable bride for Abraham's son, Isaac. Abraham sent Eliezer to find the perfect match from among his own family and of his father's house. In the same way, YHVH the Father has sent His helper, the Ruach Ha Chodesh, the Spirit of YHVH, to His family and body of believers to take a bride for His son, Yeshua.

YHVH has chosen you to be a part of the Messiah's bride. Yeshua's bride will be taken out from His body (of believers), just as Eve was taken from Adam. However, not everyone who has received the gift of deliverance (salvation) will RSVP. Believers who continue to live a worldly, or carnal lifestyle will not be ready to meet the Bridegroom because they lack the purity (holiness) of a spotless bride. The Bride of Yeshua will have come from His own body, by the water and the Blood, For it is written: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. (1st John 5:5–8) Come away with the lover of your soul now and make yourself ready for His return!      (1 John 4:19)

The Bride Price:
"For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify YHVH in your body, and in your spirit, which are YHVH's." (1 Corinthians 6:20). In biblical times, it was customary for an Israelite to pay a mohar, or price, for his bride to her father. Though this practice seems archaic to us today, a bride price is still used in many cultures. Marriage by purchase reflects how much the prospective bridegroom values and cherishes his bride. It also reveals his own wealth and generosity.

As His beloved bride, we have been bought with a price and no longer belong to ourselves. We are His – totally. Treasure the priceless gift of Yeshua's love; hold it close to your heart. He paid it for you! (1 Peter 1:18–19).

Yeshua returns to a quiet garden on the Mount of Olives, yearning for comfort this evening. But this night the garden offers only anguish and solitude. Bruised under the weight of agony, Yeshua earnestly prays. Beads of sweat, mingled with blood from His pores fall upon the earth. Alone, Yeshua prays, "If Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me." (Luke 22:42,44).

His heart aches with a dying love for His bride. Is there any other possible way besides death? He questions Abba. YHVH knows the deep friendship He once enjoyed with man in the Garden of Eden can only be recaptured if He lays down His life for him. With unconditional acceptance, Yeshua trusts His Father's decision and says, "Nevertheless, not My will but Thine, be done."

During the Messiah's final agonizing hours in Gethsemane, the weight of the world's sins crushed our Savior like a winepress, causing Him to sweat great tears of blood. His bitter suffering can be compared to myrrh, a highly–prized spice used for perfumes and incense, extracted by piercing the tree's heartwood and allowing the gum to trickle out and harden into bitter, aromatic red droplets called tears.

"Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you" (Luke 22:20).

"Behold, the days are coming, says YHVH, when I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah "not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says YHVH. "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says YHVH: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their El, and they shall be My people. "No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know YHVH,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says YHVH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." (Jeremiah 31:31–34; Hebrews 8:8–10).

The prospective Hebrew bridegroom pops the question by pouring a cup of wine for his beloved, then anxiously awaits her response to his proposal. If she sips from the Kiddush (sanctification) cup, she shows her willingness to enter this union by saying yes to his proposal. Their shared cup of wine at a betrothal ceremony called B'rit (covenant) symbolizes the sealing of their marriage covenant in blood. The betrothed couple, for all legal purposes, is married.

We see Yeshua drinking from the B'rit cup with His disciples after the Passover meal, sealing the marriage covenant with His bride. Lifting the cup with His right hand, the Messiah recites the blessing over the wine. As the True Vine speaks, He blesses the fruit of His Father's vine and praises the Creator for His bride - His choice fruit. He continues saying, "Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins" (Matthew 26:27–28).

Yeshua invites all believers to say yes to His proposal and share in this cup, so that all who choose may become His promised bride.

"So when Yeshua had received the sour wine, He said, 'It is finished!'" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit" (John 19:30).

It is finished. Fitting words spoken from a bridegroom to his bride. In Hebrew, the root word for finish is ka'lal, (complete, make perfect, or finish). It also shares the same root for kallah (bride). With Yeshua's final and dying words, He sealed the marriage covenant to His beloved with His blood.

The wedding celebration is comprised of two separate ceremonies: the kiddushin, or betrothal, and nissuin, or nuptials. In a traditional betrothal, the engaged couple enters into a covenant with the signing of the Ketubah. In this marriage contract are the terms of their agreement, such as the bride price and provisions the bridegroom agrees to make for her (including food, clothing and conjugal rights), and also names the wife as the heir to the estate, should he die. The Ketubah is read aloud for all to hear of their mutual devotion toward one another.

Moses received the Torah in Exodus 24 " Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, "We will do everything YHVH has said; we will obey."

Properly signed and witnessed, the document is given to the bride, and she is instructed to keep it with her at all times, since there can be no marital relations if it is lost or destroyed. Just as a bride cherishes her beautiful Ketubah for its rich promises, the Bride of Yeshua cherishes her Ketubah, the Bible (Genesis to Revelation), full of promises from our Bridegroom. He promising to take care of us, not only spiritually, but also physically, when we enter into a covenant with Him. (Jeremiah 31:31–34; Hebrews 8:8–10).

"And I will give power unto my two witnesses and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth" (Revelation 11:3).

Prophetically, YHVH divided Israel into the House of Judah, the Southern Kingdom, and the House of Israel Ephraim, the Northern Kingdom. Both houses went into captivity, Ephraim to Assyria, and 125 years later, Judah to Babylon. Only Judah returned to the land while Ephraim was assimilated into the culture of the Assyrians and scattered across the face of the earth into all the nations. Many believers today may be a part of the Twelve Tribes of Israel and not know it!

Just as two witnesses are required as eyewitnesses to the betrothal and to sign the Ketubah, Ephraim and Judah make up Israel, the one true bride of the Messiah. Both serve as witnesses and give testimony to what YHVH has done in the past and is doing now to bring about His kingdom on this earth. All true believers are a part of Israel.

Today, Jews (house of Judah) and Christians (house of Israel/Ephraim) are finding common ground in the Scriptures to begin the reunification of the ancient House of Israel. Once reunified, Yeshua's bride will be brought back to Zion where we can enter into the Promised Land, ready to meet our Heavenly Bridegroom.

As you spend time with the Beloved, ask for a deeper revelation of who you are in Him. Ponder whether you have become like Ephraim as so many in the Church today have become, by turning away from their Hebraic roots and chasing after the pagan ways of the world. Or, are you like Judah and have guarded YHVH's laws in your heart but are blind to the advancing light and the revelation Messiah Yeshua is revealing in these last days? Selah.think on this.

Yeshua answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" But He was speaking of the temple of His body." (John 2:18–21).

Jewish wedding ceremonies today still include the tradition of breaking a glass, which is symbolic of the destruction of the temple. For the Jews, it means that even in the midst of joy there is the remembrance of sorrow when the stones and physical walls of the temple came down. For believers in the Messiah, it represents another destroyed temple – the earthen vessel of Yeshua's body broken for us. His life was crushed by the sins of the world.

After the betrothal ceremony, the bridegroom leaves the bride's home and returns to his father's house for several months to prepare for his wedding day. Before departing, he makes a special promise to his bride: "I go and prepare a place for you and when it is ready, I will return for you." (John 14:2–3) During this time of separation, the groom builds a bridal chamber in his father's house while the bride gathers her trousseau and makes herself ready for his return.

Like an Israeli bridegroom, before Yeshua returned to His Father's house, he comforts His disciples with these same words spoken in the ancient Jewish rite, "Let not your heart be troubled.In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:1–2). As it is written in Hebrews 10:5,6:

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

We as believers in Yeshua will receive a glorified body, a "place prepared" according to the Word. A "house" for our spiritual man equipped for eternity.

He reaffirms to His followers that He will come to sequester us into a chamber made ready for His bride (John 14:3).

"He who believes and is baptized (Mikvah) will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16:16

Prior to her wedding, the bride immerses herself in a body of living water, such as a river or lake, in a ceremonial washing as a symbol of spiritual purification. A celebration follows, where she is regaled with wine, sweets, and blessings as friends and relatives rejoice with the bride in her new marital status. She now belongs to her husband and is under his authority.

Yeshua, the Lamb of YHVH, purifies our heart to make us ready for His return as our Bridegroom. With Yom Teruah approaching, has it been a long time since your own Mikvah, or water baptism? Take this time now to immerse yourself in YHVH's holy presence and re-cleanse your heart by confessing your sins ready to enter into Holy union.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (John 1:25; 29;1 John 1:9).

"Husband, love your wives, even as Yeshua also loved the ekklesia (the body of believers), and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word." (Ephesians 5:25–26).

At the ancient betrothal ceremony, the words cleanse her with the washing of water by the word are part of the vows spoken by the bridegroom. As the priest of the home, he sets her apart as his bride, for she is spoken for and paid for.

The Redeemer sanctifies His bride, making you holy and pure, and sets you apart as His own. His complete forgiveness and cleansing work through His blood, prepares you to enter YHVH's presence. Allow YHVH to bathe you in His Word so that you may go into the Holy Place, For it is His words and sacred vows in the Bible that sanctify you in the truth. Spend time each day reading your Bibles so you will be prepared to walk as a pure bride. Yeshua said "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you." (John 15:3)

"Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?" ( Luke 15:9–10).

The silver coins called kessef were given to the bride as a token of his love. Similar to today's wedding band, it was customary for a married Jewish woman to wear ten silver coins woven into an elaborate piece of jewelry over the veil as a headdress. As an expression of a groom's love and commitment to his betrothed, silver coins were considered valuable gifts, especially to the lady who lost one in the parable of the lost coin. For these tokens of love belonged to her, and no one could take them from her, not even to pay a debt.

Like the lost coin, we were all lost sinners from the earth's dust. Yeshua pursued us with a persistent love until He found His bride. Our life, once darkened by sin, illuminates now with His presence. YHVH's Word, like an oil lamp, helps light our pathway and shows us where we can find true joy and peace.

"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" (Matthew 7:11).

An ancient custom of Israel required the groom to give a mattan (Hebrew for 'gift') to his bride at the betrothal. These voluntary gifts are an expression of his love for his bride and vary greatly depending on the prosperity of the groom. Biblical examples of this practice, such as Eliezer giving articles of silver, two gold bracelets, and garments to Rebekah (Genesis 24:22).

Our bridegroom, Yeshua, also offers mattan to His bride. Some of the gifts He gives us are eternal life and peace. Other gifts are in 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4. Yeshua offers anything we ask in His name (John 14:13). These gifts are given to make ourselves ready for His return and to be used for YHVH's glory!

"And you also were included in Yeshua when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance." (Ephesians 1:13–14).

Like the dipping of a signet ring in wax, YHVH bears His impression upon us by the Ruach Ha Chodesh, YHVH's Spirit, sealing His promise to return for His Bride. The 'ring' for the bride is called the 'Sabbath. The Sabbath serves as a reminder of YHVH's unbroken and never–ending covenant. YHVH created the Sabbath for man (Mark 2:27). It is our sign and commitment to be faithful to him "In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions" (Exodus 16:4). An unfaithful bride takes off her wedding ring. The SIGN is the meaning of the 22nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In the ancient proto–canannite Hebrew, it was drawn as a CROSS! The Hebrew scriptures begin with God, as symbolized by the first letter, the Aleph and the circle of twenty–two letters ends with the Tav, the Cross, the SIGN.

"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as YHVH shall call"(Acts 2:39).

"Will you go with this man?" they asked Rebekah in Genesis 24:58 after Abraham's servant, Eliezer, proposed marriage on his master's behalf. Never having set eyes on Isaac, Rebekah gave her consent and said, "I will go." With blind faith and complete abandonment, she said, "I do." Her faith was much like ours today – we have never seen our Bridegroom, yet we abandon all to be with Him.

Just as a bride has to be in agreement with the marriage she enters, so it is with the Bride of Yeshua. The root meaning of the Hebrew word 'bracelet' means to bind, or join. By accepting the bracelets, Rebekah willingly became bound, or joined, to Isaac. As believers, we too become bound to Him. YHVH never forces us to say I do. It is by our own free will that we enter into a relationship with our Bridegroom, Yeshua, our Messiah. With our lips we confess "I do" and by believing in our hearts that YHVH raised Yeshua from the dead, we declare it with our mouths that He is Lord. Salvation is for today. Say "I will go."

The Fragrance of the Bride: Spikenard comes from a very rare plant that is usually blended with olive oil for anointing in acts of consecration, dedication and worship. The root word for spikenard in Greek means genuine or pure.

In John 12:3 and Mark 14:3, the Bible tells how spikenard was used to anoint Yeshua, the pure and spotless Lamb, just days before His death and burial. As we desire to become the spotless bride of Messiah, we must walk in holiness and love, burying our sins at the cross. With His life broken, He doesn't leave us alone to 'waste away.' Instead, the oil, symbolic of the inner working of the Ruach Ha Chodesh, has been poured out for us, so we can live a life that is rich with a sweet, heavenly fragrance.

A common practice in the Middle East was the ritual of baths, followed by the anointing with oil in preparation for a future wedding (Esther 2:12). As a remnant of Yeshua's body, we are to be made ready with the burial of our sins at the altar. We must die to the old life, as death is the first step in preparation for those who will become the Bride of Yeshua. This process doesn't happen all at once but takes time when obedience is learned and our own selfish desires are conformed into His image.

The second part of the virgin's preparation involved beauty treatments, pampering her with massages and using oil perfumes. YHVH Himself, in Ezekiel, tells how He bathes and anoints His bride Israel with oil. (Ezekiel 16:9) The application of the word in our life produces the oil. Our beauty treatments, however, will not be complete until we meet our Bridegroom face to face.

As His bride, we are holy and have been set apart as His own. His love draws us away from the things of the world- the bustle and busyness of life - to a place where we can thrive and grow in Him. The unpleasant thorns – those things under the curse such as vanity, envy, pride, and evil speaking – keeps us from entering into the blessed fellowship with our Beloved. Respond to the love of His heart by turning away from those things that hinder our spiritual growth. YHVH loves Israel and describes our beauty as, "Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters (Song of Solomon 2:2).

YHVH will bestow upon each of us a golden crown as His eternal bride. And, because of His shining greatness, honor, and power, we will, as Revelation 4:10 tell us, lay our crowns before Him and worship the Creator of all things. Worship Him now.

"Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which YHVH, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:8).

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their won lusts. And saying, "Where is the promise of His coming?"

Unbeknownst to the bride, someone had been watching and waiting for the opportune time to make his move. While her guard was down, the maiden removed her veil and fell into the enemy's trap.

During the first few months after her bridegroom's departure, the ancient bride didn't have any difficulty remembering her love by all the wonderful gifts he had left her. However, as time passed, and he delayed in returning, she may have been tempted.

In one way or another, we have all betrayed our love to Yeshua. Whether it is following false teachers with unsound doctrines or living sinful lives, we all struggle with doing things we know we shouldn't do. Though our Bridegroom tarries, we should remain faithful and ready for His return.

As the bride, we must fast and pray to keep ourselves from falling into temptation. Try committing a time each week to fasting. If you have never fasted before, try skipping one meal, and spend that time with YHVH. Pray and ask the Father to strengthen you and help you to resist the schemes of the enemy. (Matthew 9:15).

I Stand at the Door: "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20).

What does your heart say to your beloved Bridegroom? Yeshua said in Matthew 22:14, "For many are called, but few are chosen." Many followers have entered in through the door of salvation and are part of the Body of Yeshua but have turned away from the Ruach Ha Chodesh's invitation to enter into a deeper intimacy with the Messiah. YHVH calls those followers His concubines, queens, and virgins, as seen in Song of Songs 6:8.

Our Heavenly Bridegroom refers to His beloved bride as the only one who has said yes to His request, "Open to me," and has entered into a deeper relationship, identifying with the full mystery of His death and resurrected life. It is we who will determine how close we want to be with our Savior. We must not ignore His voice but answer His call. Let us rejoice and say "Ani l'dodi, V'dodi Li" I AM my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine.

"I will greatly rejoice in YHVH, my soul shall be joyful in my El; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels" (Isaiah 61:10).

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Rev. 19:7,8 The fine white linen was worn by the priests, and the BRIDE!

It was customary in ancient Israel for the hosts of the marriage ceremony to provide their wedding guests with suitable apparel. By not wearing the garments provided by the groom's father, the guests showed a lack of appreciation and respect for him. No real excuse could be given for not wearing the proper wedding garments.

In the parable of the guest improperly attired in Matthew 22:11-14, Yeshua described the king's furious reaction to the guest who insulted him by not wearing the wedding garments. For guests who attempt to attend the Messiah's wedding in apparel of their own, they will be cast into outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

As His bride, we must not seek apparel of our own choosing, such as trying to obtain salvation based upon our own good works or without true faith or repentance. We must be willing to clothe ourselves with Yeshua by putting on the new man and adorning ourselves with righteous deeds. By being ever ready to do good works (walking in the realms of life), we bring glory to YHVH. Are we doing all we can to be clothed in splendor?

"Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me days with out number" (Jeremiah 2:32).

Enraptured by Love: "At midnight the cry rang out: "Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!" (Matthew 25:6).

Leviticus 23:23 "YHVH said to Moses, Say to the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest (Sabbath), a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Do no regular work, but present an offering made to YHVH by fire (a sacrificial gift).''

Once the groom's father gave his final approval to the inspection of the bridal chamber, the bridegroom would leave his father's house with his best man or friend to gather his bride. These men, along with many other companions, would travel to the bride's home, typically at night, carrying torches to light the dark streets, as mentioned in Jeremiah 25:10. Another reason for this custom is that the lamps or torches represent light and joy, which was present at Mount Sinai at the wedding between YHVH and Israel. In Exodus 19:16–18, it tells us the Israelites were accompanied by lightning, and YHVH was accompanied by fire. Couples today still use candles at weddings for enhancing their joy.

As they drew close to the bride's home, the men would blow trumpets, (sound the shofar on the year of Jubilee) and shout, announcing the soon arrival of the bridegroom, sometimes even calling out the name of the bride. The bride, with her attendants, would come out to meet the groom and in the joyous procession filled with musicians, singers, and dancers, back to the 'prepared place' where she and her beloved would enjoy the marriage supper together.

Yom Teruah, the day of the sound of the trumpet, is this weekend. Will we be a ready, waiting, and prepared bride? Will we hear the sound of the bridegroom coming? Will we run to meet him dressed in our wedding garments? (1 Corinthians 15:52, Revelation 11:15).

Baruch HaBah B'Shem Adoni "Blessed is he who comes in the name of YHVH." The best man at Jewish weddings for centuries has spoken those same words. It is for this reason that Yeshua told us in Matthew 23:39 "For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." He was referring to this marriage custom. Those who have kept this feast have been rehearsing the return of the Messiah as King of Kings and the Bridegroom!

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 "For YHVH Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Yeshua will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet YHVH in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."

As a member of the bridal party, it is up to each one of us to work out our own salvation (of the soul) and seek YHVH for wisdom and understanding and to walk in His ways. We can no longer rely on the teachings of men, but must spend time with our Bridegroom alone face to face, in order to know Him and prepare. We need to heed the warning in the parable (Matthew 25) to watch and be ready for His coming. We need to keep His commandments, His teaching and instruction in the Torah and honor His Sabbath, for if we don't, the door to the marriage supper may be shut.

To be continued.....

He said to them, Therefore every teacher and interpreter of the Sacred Writings who has been instructed about and trained for the kingdom of heaven and has become a disciple is like a householder who brings forth out of his storehouse treasure that is new and [treasure that is] old [the fresh as well as the familiar].
