Thank you for the information. That is big news in light of the further ecumenical world religion. Islam/Muslim denominations have been the mystery of how I unity would be achieved with apostate Christianity.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; 36 and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast;
This is the Lord's word to us, a charge concerning His second coming. So this can't be the marriage of the lamb He is talking about. The Marriage of the lamb will take place in the Father's house, why would Jesus return from the marriage feast if the feast is at his home. Second, why wouldn't these believers with their loins girded and their lamps burning, who are faithfully watching be at the wedding of the Lamb? Third, why would Jesus ignore His bride to make these servants a meal? This is the marriage of all the world religions to reject Jesus as Lord.
that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
Sounds like the house of the Lord is locked up tight in the middle of a very dark night. Again, this is the Lord coming back from the final and ultimate rejection.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
You are blessed because you weren't a part of that apostasy. You are blessed because you aren't asleep or drunk with the world's wine. You are blessed because unlike the rest of the world you see what is going on, you realize this is the dark night, and you are guarding the church, the house of the Lord. The hirelings have abandoned the flock to the wolves, but you are still there watching and fighting the good fight.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
The biggest argument against those who are watching is "people have been saying this for years". Yep, this is not the first watch and it isn't the second watch, we are now in the third watch.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
