The search is on. Many are claiming to be His Bride but doubts about their claims continue to increase. She is too hard to recognize just about anywhere you look.
The following description is being circulated throughout the world; maybe you have seen her somewhere? “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. And to her was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” Revelation 19:7-8
Now, one would think that a quick search would be all that is needed. It can’t be that difficult to find disciples of Jesus Christ acting righteously in these wicked times. (My use of “wicked” is the old meaning of wicked, by the way) and that really says what this is all about; change “terminology” and you will not be able to find Christ’s Bride anymore. So it appears that Christ’s Bride is missing because the road signs to righteous living have been changed. That’s it! Alleluia! Alleluia!
So to find Christ’s Bride all we have to do is examine recent changes in worldly and church terminology and then we will discover what the Bride is not suppose to be wearing and we will recognize the pure Bride once more? Yes, that’s it. Are you saying that “an affair” should be called adultery, a “little white lie” just a lie, “gay” once again be called sodomy and “sleeping together” fornication? Yes, it sure would be a good place to start.
This is great, this is wonderful, and this is exciting. Christ’s Bride can be identified! All we have to do is return to God’s Word and Christ’s Bride will be revealed. She will be illuminated above the darkness in the world and in compromising churches. So simple – why didn’t someone think of doing this sooner?

Dear Bob,
This is truly a challenging message presented in a language everyone can understand.
Verily, verily, it is hard to find the Bride as described in Revelations 19, although she is around. Part of the problem is not just the wicked acts committed but the redefinition of righteousness by churches and ministers today. The goal posts of what constitutes righteousness has gradually been moved to the point where you hardly can see the grass anymore!
We thank God that the Holy Spirit is still hard at work to continually remind us and convict us of God’s righteous standards. The true sons of God are led by God’s Spirit and they are the true Bride! They are recognisable as uncompromising, faithful and true like the Philadephia Church in Revelations 3.
God bless!
