I've known about the parallel between the Jewish wedding tradition and the return of Jesus Christ for most of my life.
The church, after all, is called the bride of Christ and if you take the time to examine scripture and Jewish tradition, the truth becomes crystal clear.
The rapture was not "invented" in the 1800's by John Darby. The rapture is clearly shown in both the Old and New Testaments but there are many who want to make the Scriptures irrelevant and mythical.
Open your heart and mind and He will show you how incredible this is.
Jesus will return for His bride. He said "I go to prepare a place for you and I will receive you to myself that where I am, you may be also."
It was common Jewish wedding tradition that the groom would leave his promised bride and go to his fathers house to prepare a place for them both and the wedding and feast. When the place was ready, the groom would send for the bride who would meet him half way and they would go to his prepared place.
A perfect picture of the rapture and the feast spoken of in the book of the Revelation.
This is the reason we watch for Him.
