HERE COMES THE BRIDE- A City From On High

What is the BRIDE of Christ? Or should I say who is IN the Bride of Christ??? The Bride are the called out ecclisea, the remnant, the ones spared from the wrath of Yahushua. The Bride are the ones who have made themselves ready (Revelations 19:7) The Bride is not Israel or modern day church goers...the Bride is deeper that that. The Bride is a mystical occurance, a mystery, and unrevealed secret. No one knows who the Bride is. She is veiled, hidden, just like a betrothed women in jewish trdition,.Her identity is hidden(face) unitl the revelation of the Bridegroom. She is set apart and in waiting. And in her time of waiting she is given time to make herself ready for her Beloved.  And her readiness is what determines her election.

Jesus said, "When the student is ready, The Teacher shall appear"(Matthew 13) He also said that there would be foolish brides and wise ones, in His parable of His return. There would be chaste people, who would be awaiting the Bridegroom, but they would become lazy and complacent, they would not be ready for the Bridgroom when He came. And the way the parable reads....is that they clearly had a choice,and could have been made ready, if they would have chosen the part that the wise virgins chose. And the wise virgins choice was to daiy keep watching, keeping oil in her lamp, not sleeping or distracted by the world...obviously set apart unto the Master...doing what He bid her until He return. Sitting at the feet of the Master, choosing the better part. So.... SHE WAS OBEDIENT. Are we??? Our readiness will determine our being received into the Bride, the Holy City.

Readiness is obedience where there is no unturned stone....no sin or guilt or sickness in us that we have not dealt with, confronted and put under His blood. Disobedience has been eradicated, dispelled, it has no place in us anymore-because we have made ourselves surrendered to the Lamb. We have chosen to prepare ourselves in the beauty of holiness, not because we have to- but because we want to. When you love and are in love, you will go to any extreme in preperation to see your beloved. We know this. Who is our first LOVE? If he is First, THE MOST PURSUED SOUGHT AFTER LOVE, the fruit will be there to show it.

Ever met anyone in love????  Is there any queston what that person thinks about, talks about eats, drinks and sleeps 24/7?All the outsiders look upon that person and say "all you care about is so-in-so!" And it is true. No real love ever comes without persecution and when someone is in love they are compelled, driven, obsessed and zealous for that love. No one can stand between it or deter loves attention. No one. Ridicule comes, inevitably, by those who are waxed cold in their love. Praise only comes from those who rejoice in love and rejoice in the bride and bridegroom. All others wag the head and nay say "loves" abandon. They do so because it is foolish to the ones who have passed the time of love. It is foolish to pursue LOVE with such intensity and yearning to those who are barren of love. They are jealous because their house became desolate of the sound of the bride and the bridegroom within and their hearts waxed cold.

So at the readiness of our souls, when the soul is READY, when we have made our readiness by humbling ourselves to our Maker and by removing the stumbling block of our sin. When We are "ready' THEN He appeareth...soooo, conclusion being, when the Bride is READY...THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH FOR HER in the Spirit. He appears when she appears IN HER READINESS... When we truly see Him we shall be like Him. BEHOLD the Lamb who taketh away the sin of the world. He taketh away our sin WHEN WE BEHOLD HIM! If we are not being transformed, if we are lukewarm, WE ARE NOT BEHOLDING HIM AS HE IS. We have some other Image of Him erected in our minds THAT IS NOT HIS TRUE LIKENESS. It's another jesus and another gospel. Not the POWER of the Cross.

The Bride is collectively, seperately, preparing Herself through the rigteous acts of the saints, her fine linen is what she clothes herself in and that linen is DEEDS...odedient deeds choosing righteousness in humility to Her King. She is making herself ready! No one ever had to chide a bride about being prepared on her wedding day. For the honor of the Bridegroom she prepareth. For her own honor and for the honor of the wedding guests. SHE MAKETH HERSELF READY. Every detail of the Wedding is important to the Bride, hastening to the day of the marraige. And thus we are, if we are in love, FIRST LOVE, with our Beloved Christ and "if" we are in readiness when He returns for us. Sending the Holy City down from heaven upon our heads.

He will return as a THEIF, He even said so Himself. What does that mean? In every other reference to the THEIF IN THE NIGHT in the Old Testament...the term"theif in the night " refers to God sneaking up on His people or enemies with JUDGEMENT. It is not a favorable term for anyone, not even the Bride. Only favorable for the READY ONES. If the Bride delay in her preperation and making ready and the Bridegroom Appears, taking her unaware, like a theif in the night, then she, will be counted with the foolish virgins, who will be shut out in everlasting darkness and share her portion with the hypocrites, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Regret and worldly sorrow that leads to miserable, continual torment.

But to those who are wise, The Day of His Coming(Visitation) will be a day of great rejoicing! He will not catch her unaware because this bride was watching and listening and preparing, keeping her garments white and oil in her lamp, not falling asleep but being vigilant, INTENTIONAL. Continually repenting of SELF/THE BEAST WITHIN.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always , that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass , and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36 Jesus said this to His future Bride. Only those accounted worthy will escape the terrible judgements poured out on mankind. ONLY those who are watching and praying will be worthy to escape and STAND before the Son of Man. Obviously HE is the thing to be feared here... The judgement came from Him and He is the only one who can protect us through it. But for those who are NOT READY...He won't!
Ephesians 5 says" Christ gave Himself up for His Bride to make her holy,cleansing her by the washing of the water of the word and to present her to Himself as a RADIENT church, without spot or wrinkle or blemish, but holy and blameless." He makes the Bride ready by the Spirit, by the Word...and then the Bride makes herself ready BY STAYING- ABIDING IN READINESS...Her garments are READY- Clean, pure...
He is coming back for a RADIENT, beaming, glowing with His glory, a beautiful BRIDE. There is victory in that and we should find victory in our preperations and our readiness. The greatest weapon we have against the enemy is our READINESS-WORTHINESS.
But how can we be worthy when we are not????? That IS the whole point! Never forgeting the former purification of our sins(II Peter 1:9) NEVER. We must continually stay on our faces concerning our own sin, sinfulness, attitudes,motives, unforgiveness, envy. We must drive them all out of our houses from before our eyes and WE CAN! We are not worthy but HE IS! We are not innocent in any matter and if we are then He will avenge us. However, its' been my experience that when I'm innocent over here....I'm probably guilty over there in some way...so we NEVER stray from mourning our sins past and present and even mourning that we do not enter into temptation. When we have been washed, there is a humility that proceeds and staying in that humility is our only safekeeping. If we forget His great mercy towards us, and begin to think we are sanctifying ourselves...it is THEN that we have lost grace to endure and stand in the days to come. We are the righteousness of God in Christ, not in ourselves- PERIOD and FOREVER.

When someone is ready, they are ON! There is no delay or wait, they are available and competent for what is at hand. Like a skilled athelete that is prepared for competition, they have certainly done everything required to make them READY to perform at optimal level. Not being prepared, often means defeat! There is no reason for us, as His bride, to be defeated because He went before us and made the way! He rent the veil, He payed the price. He overcame!!!! We are not a defeated church/bride if we have come out from the world and live seperate lives unto Him and if we keep our hearts tender before Him, keeping the love of God that abides, remains,-"if" we abide in the VINE. Not returning to the heart made of stone, that the law produces or the keeping of it; not trusting in our own ability to serve Him. On the contrary, we cry out day and night, night and day, to be found worthy of the Lamb and allowing the heart made of flesh to live in us to thrive as we trust the finished work of Christ.

The BRIDE has many promises for these last days. Many will want to claim those promises, that have not come by means of the cross or repentance, making them thieves who wish to come up another way. These promises in the Word will not be theirs in the day of His wrath. It is going to become very clear WHO HIS BRIDE IS and by all to see. There will be no question, who is radient and who is not! Yahushua is not coming back for a compromising whore. He is coming back for a Bride WORTHY OF HIM, who is glorious inside and bold and unashamed of her love for the Bridegroom. A Bride THAT WILL pay the price for loving Him as He did her and a bride that is REDEEEMED.

We, the REDEEMED are the NEW JERUSALEM, which is THE BRIDE coming down from heaven(Revelations 21:2) The BRIDE is a city, holy- in the heavenlies and it comes down upon those who overcome the beast! Just like the Great Harlot, the whore of Babylon is a city( Revelations 17:18) which was the city of Babylon the great; ruling in the heavenlies- all the kings of the earth are drunk with her harlotries, the Scripture says.

 If the Whore of babylon is a City and so is the Bride of Christ, both depicted as female. One is vile and demonic while the other is holy and blessed. These are both pictures of the spiritual world and the Principalities and Rulers of this world. As the collective Bride of Christ gaineth strength by overcoming, we hasten that City's arrival. Babylon the Great IS FALLING NOW and the angels rejoice in that! That spiritual government is being destroyed in the heavenlies. As above so beneath.
If THIS city is depicted a a woman, it depicts a wicked government in the spirit world and that government is over all the children of pride. It is over all those who tolerate Jezebel and it is over all of them that worship the beast and receive his mark. BUT, to those who overcome the Harlot, the Beast and Jezebel, THESE are under the GOVERNMENT OF THE BRIDE! They are under the covering of the Holy City, the NEW JERUSALEM, not made with hands, this is THE BRIDE! He writeth the name of that City upon those who overcome!

"Here Comes the Bride...All Dressed in White." HaleYaHuWaH!

Do we really believe THE KING OF KINGS is coming back for a fearful, defeated, abused BRIDE? Not what my bible says. NO WAY...He is coming swiftly on a white horse to avenge His Bride and slay her enemies by the Word of His mouth! It is HIS WORD that slays the enemy...always has been always will be! And He is not coming back until He puts every enemy under His Feet! Whose feet???? Who is His body??? Under His Bride's feet, for He is the Head and she is the Body! And death is the LAST enemy that will be put under the Lamb/His Brides feet!

Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 11:4.. but with righteousness He will judge the needy, with justice He will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth; with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.

I Corinthians 15:24Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27For he “has put everything under his feet.”c

We are His feet! And when we dont fear death or man or devil or government or famine or prison...WE OVERCOME DEATH! For in the fear of death do all these things lie therein...He is coming back for a MATE that will love Him with the Intensity that He loves her...and what would He not give up for her? What would He withhold from her? Nothing. Total Abandon of Himself was and is His love and so will OURS BE...since death is the last enemy and the one that MUST be defeated for Him to return...I emplore you DIE TO YOUR FEAR OF DEATH. Die to all fear of man. Die to the fear of suffering.Die to the fear of isolation.. When you are dead...then so IS DEATH. Death has nothing over you when you have no fear of it! It is DEFEATED!Here are promises in His Word that we can slay the enemy with IF we are truly in the VINE and are His branches, if we are truly The Bride who is watching and praying and repenting and keeping her garments white and her lamp full of oil. Remember He slays His enemies with His Word and the breath of His mouth. So He then, would most definitely agree with His Wife to be, when she prays and calls upon His Name and ask according to His Word whatever she will. He being moved by compassion would answer from on high and by the breath of His mouth bring down her enemies by His Word!

This is a love story, mind you, of the Messiah and His beloved. The Greatest Love Story Ever Told...Every remnant saint is at a different point and place in their overcoming. No one can attest to that point of overcoming but The King and The Judge Himself. But in our overcoming, when we have overcome to the point of being worthy of the The Bride coming down from heaven...worth of that Holy City, which is the Bride, to come down to us...when we are READY, we can rest assured, She, that City, that New Jerusalem, is coming down upon us. Coming out of the whore(City) of Babylon repenting of her blasphemies and harlotries, coming out to be seperate of that spirit lest we receive her plagues. In obedience to our Bridegroom and Overcoming Power- we will come into that Holy City... or should I say He sends that City down upon the ones who have made themselves ready.

There are two types of disciples in the last days Jesus speaks of...the ones who will be put to death Matthew 24:9 and the ones who not a hair on their head will be harmed. Luke 21:18 All of His true elect will be persecuted.The former is the most glorious of the Bride and the latter -glorious  to continue in the earth radiating His Power, being His demonstrated fear in the earth. Nothing can stop her and death is only Victory, for she will lay her life down for her Bridegroom. Like Him, no one taketh her life, but that she lay it down freely. That will be our grace and decision in the final testing. The better resurrection comes to the Bride who layeth her life down for the gospel, for Her King. The other saints who are in the Bride will demonstrate His Glory and whoever toucheth a hair on her head, toucheth the apple( the pupil) of His eye. Those that touch His anointed Wife will suffer immediately. Dont believe me? Read His promises for His beloved...


Zechariah 2


1Then I looked up—and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand! 2I asked, “Where are you going?”
He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”
3Then the angel who was speaking to me left, and another angel came to meet him 4and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of men and livestock in it. 5And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory within.’
6“Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven,” declares the Lord.
7“Come, O Zion! Escape, you who live in the Daughter of Babylon!” 8For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After he has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye— 9I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.a Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.
10“Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord. 11“Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. 12The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. 13Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because He has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”
THe Lord PROMISES He will protect His scattered People. He will take up His Bride's cause. This is speaking of the New Jerusalem and Him choosing Us again, His people. He will rouse Himself and We, His Remnant Bride will KNOW that He liveth amongst us. This is the overcoming Bride that goeth through the tribulation and He will raise His Hand AGAINST them that touch Us!. Jerusalem will be a City with no walls, meaning there is no boundary to here in physicality, the measuring of her is the number of them who are scattered to the four winds- the four ends of the earth...for She is like the sand of the sea, like the promised descendents of Abraham, like the stars of the heavens, scattered to the four winds of heaven. This prophecy is a promise concerning His true people in the last days as the book of Zechariah is an apocalyptic book. Understand- those who touch His pupil, the apple of His eye will suffer much harm and those that give their lives and are martyred will be the grains of wheat that will fall into the earth and die bringing forth much fruit( REVIVAL)! We should be rejoicing in these days rather than fearing what is to come for PERFECT LOVE and He is That, casteth out All fear!



Zecharaih 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.


Yes, the Lord will defend the land of Israel and the literal city of Jerusalem, those who have looked upon the One they have pierced, the familes that have mourned how they pierced Messiah, for He will open their blind eyes at end of the time of the Gentiles. But the Edomite jews He will not justify, those from Esau. There are many jews that will not repent and who is a true jew but those of the household of faith. But His Bride , His people, Gentile and Jew, will be protected. Not without bloodshed, many will die for the Glory of the Bridegroom who cometh, Maranatha! But He promises and is not a man that He should lie, that He will dwell among His people and He will rouse Himself for Her.


Malachi 3:16-18

16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.



17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.



This is a prophecy about the coming last day of the Lord and He says we, then, will be able to discern between the wheat and the tare and will spare us that fear Him. We are His apple, We are His jewels.



Malachi goes on to say in chapter 4:


For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lordof hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.


That Word is for Now, Oh Bride, Oh Bride of Christ cry out for the prophet Eliyahu before the Great and Dreadful Day for Our Bridegroom sendeth him to Us and all the proud and all who do wickedly the Lord shall burn them up! But unto Us who fear His name shall the Sun of Righteousness ARISE (be roused) with healing in His wings and We shall go forth in these days and grow up as calves in the stall. Meaning PROTECTED! And We shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the sole(s) Our feet! Whose feet? The Bride's Feet!


The Lord says, in that day, that the righteous will become more righteous and the wicked more wicked,but that the righteous will shine with His glory and the mouth of the wise shall feed many. His countenance will be upon us and eminate through Us like unto Moses face being in the glory of Yahuwah! It will be very clear WHO His Radient Bride is...even physically.

Jesus said:


Revelation 3:10-13

King James Version (KJV)

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


Revelation 2:10-11

King James Version (KJV)

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.


And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be terrified, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. Joshua 10.25
