A Study of Revelation · Lesson 03
The Bema Seat & The Jewish Wedding
In this lesson, we will consider the Bema Seat of Christ and the five crowns promised to faithful believers. We will also examine the Jewish wedding as a beautiful biblical picture of Christ’s coming marriage to His Church.
“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. ”
