Chapter Thirty-Eight/Praise Jah for His Judgments - The Lamb's Marriage Is at Hand! - Continue

 Down through the centuries, Jesus has made loving preparation for this celestial marriage. (Matthew 28:20; 2 Corinthians 11:2) He has been cleansing the 144,000 o00 so that "he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, not having a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:25-27) With a view to attaining to "the prize of the upward call of God," each anointed Christian has had to strip off the old personality with its practices, put on the new Chrisitan personality and perform righteous acts "whole-souled as to Jehovah." - PHILIPPIANS 3:8, 13, 14; COLOSSIANS 3:9, 10, 23.
