DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 19 – The Triumph of the Saints
illustrate the union between Christ and his

people, is granted; but the marriage of the

Lamb here spoken of is a definite event to take

place at a definite time; and if the declaration

that Christ is the head of the church as the

husband is the head of the wife (Ephesians

5:23), proves that the church is now the

Lamb’s wife, then the marriage of the Lamb

took place long ago; but that cannot be,

according to this scripture, which locates it in

the future. Paul told his Corinthian converts

that he had espoused them to one husband,

even Christ. This is true of all converts. But

while this figure is used to denote the relation

that they then assumed to Christ, was it a fact

that the marriage of the Lamb took place in

Corinth in Paul’s day, and that it has been

going on for the past eighteen hundred years?
