Just imagine how faithful ones on earth will feel to survive the total destruction of God's enemies! What a time of rejoicing that will be! Although there will be a great shout of joy in heaven when Babylon the Great is destroyed, there is something else that will bring greater joy. (Revelation 19:1-3) It is, in fact, the climax of the book of Revelation-"the marriage of the Lamb." - REVELATION 19:6-9.
When does the marriage take place? All the 144,000 will be in heaven just before the war of Armageddon is fought. However, that will not be the time for the marriage of the Lamb. (Revelation 21:1, 2.) The marriage of the Lamb takes place after the war of Armageddon has been fought and all of God's enemies have been removed. - PSALM 445:3, 4, 13-17.
What does the marriage of the Lamb really mean for those involved? Well, just as a marriage joins a man and a woman together, so this symbolic marriage unites the King, Jesus Christ, with his bride,: te 144,000. That climatic event inauguarates the new government that will rule the earth for 1,000 years. - REVELATION 20:6.
