The Marriage of the Lamb

R. CAVINESS: As we view it, the marriage of the Lamb takes place when he receives the kingdom, just at the time when he finishes his work as priest. Then the work of salvation is closed up; the lukewarm Laodiceans are spued out; the guests who are found without a wedding garment, are cast into outer darkness; the line of separation is drawn between the righteous and the wicked; probation is closed; the righteous are sealed; and the filthy are to remain so still.
In Gal. iv, 24, 25, the two women, Sarah and Agar, are taken as representatives of the two covenants, Agar representing the old covenant, with its earthly Jerusalem, and Sarah the new covenant, with its heavenly Jerusalem.
