Bible Note: Greetings WOS, Thank you for the address from good old CHS, I am very fond of all his works, to say the least. Would it be a safe assumption then, as a result of the answer that you shared of Spurgeon’s, that you don’t have the answer to my question as well? It is evidenced that I am fitting into the Long pattern of those that have gone before me. Case and point, Spurgeon stated, “Many a time the question has been asked: "What was the wedding garment?" It is a question which need not be curiously pried into†It seems as though those of the past, in Spurgeon’s day, were dissuaded and given an answer that neither answered their question, and they were made to look as though they were foolish for asking. Archeology is constantly finding new evidence that tell us about ancient historical biblical situations. Is it being ludicrous to think that the answer to my question need not be curiously pried into just because no one seems to have a concrete answer yet? I wonder if searching for the truth could be construed a noble thing to do now a days, or is it considered more noble just not to pry? I hope you know I’m being facetious? Let me say this just for the record; I perfectly understand the heavenly side of the story, Matt. 22: 4 -14, it’s the earthly side that I am having trouble with. I will be clothed, in the day of wedding feast of the Lamb, with the rightness of the Lamb of God. And the righteous robe of God is something that I could never personally buy, nor afford. And I will never be worthy of wearing it, but for the precious Son of God, Jesus the Christ, and what He did for me. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Now with all that said and done! Does any one have any “historical records†stating that the Kings of old actually “provided†coverings or outer garments for their guest at wedding feast? The heavenly examples of the outer garments are the robes of the saints, provided by the Father, at the wedding feast of the Lamb; we won’t be standing there in our own self righteousness but that of our King which He has provided for us in Christ! Have a great day, CDBJ |
