"Tying The Knot" -2

"Our soul waiteth for the LORD: He is our help and our shield." (Psalms 33:20) Let me tell you where this title generated from, because I am sure some of you might be wondering; however, you must realize that the marriage between the Lamb and His church has already begun! As a matter of fact, I believe that Jesus has been preparing for, and making ready His glorious bride since the beginning of time; we are just fast approaching the celebration day to celebrate all that He has accomplished. Anyway, it was the word "waiteth"; a word that speaks of "to tie a knot", as in to bind yourself to God full of confidence, waiting for Him, because He is waiting for you, and He will arise; therefore, we are bound in that confidence, much as a bride to be is bound with confidence to the bridegroom. The way I see it, the knot has already been tied, it's just waiting to be cinched down tightly! Much the same as a virgin being betrothed to her husband to be, in her eyes and heart, the knot is already tied, and that cinching down part will be that day when they become one by the confirmation of their marriage. It's really pretty interesting how some weddings are planned way in advance; sometimes before the bride and groom even know who each other are; however, in this case, the Bridegroom knows and has known the bride before the foundations of the earth! On a very similar note; the word "help", as in "He is our help", has a very interesting twist to it, if you dare to think about it; which goes all the way back to creation, as God was considering a "help meet" for Adam, as in a 'female helper'. Whatever the deal is with sexual intercourse, when we do get to heaven, it will be a thing of the past, as in, they will not be having marriages in heaven; there is only one wedding that takes place there, and that is between the Lamb of God and the Church; so try and figure that one out! It is pretty obvious to me that God knew from the very beginning who man's help meet would actually turn out to be, which is most likely why He created woman from the man, as to not confuse the situation; because man's help meet would ultimately turn out to be Him... "And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the Tree of Life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of nations. And there shall be no more curse (not even the curse of that other tree): but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants will serve Him: and they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them Light: and they shall reign for ever and ever." (Revelations 22:1-5)
