God reveals His heart to Israel through Hosea the prophet. In chapter two of the book God talks of marriage.
'And it shall be in that day, that you will call Me My Husband, and no longer call Me My Master. I will betroth you to Me forever, Yes I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, in loving kindness and mercy; I will betroth you to me in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord.'
What wonderful words of promise. Israel must have had a really hard time under the Old Covenant figuring out the nature of God. But through Jesus those of us under the new covenant have come to a better understanding of what is on the heart of the Father. This is the day that God is opening His heart to those sons and daughters of His who can discern the music being played in heaven. The furniture is being arranged in the throne rooms of His palace. The celestial caterers are moving in with the trucks, the menus have been printed, and the musicians are warming up for the biggest and most luxurious feast ever to be held in all the galaxies.
The marriage supper of the Lamb is about to take place. This is the time on earth when the Bride is making herself ready. This time has never been before. Were you born for such a time as this?
