We are drawing near to the choosing of the bride.
The Bride Is Submitted to the Word
Debra Klein – Nov/Dec 2008 (David's notes in red)
In a dream, I was in a huge temple, which I knew was the heavenly temple. I was dressed in a wedding dress, and there were six other brides, besides myself, in this temple who also had their wedding dresses on. (This is a picture of the brides taken from the seven church types in Revelation 2 and 3.)
Somehow, we all knew that we were only to wear the wedding dresses and that absolutely no veils were allowed to be worn at this rehearsal. (Since this is a rehearsal, the submission is not complete. The veil is a sign of submission to Jesus, the Word, which only the true bride will show herself to be - 1 Corinthians 11.)
I was sitting in the very last pew, on the right side, in the back of the Temple, where Jesus and I sat together “as a married couple” (He, at the end of the pew closest to the wall, and me to His right) with an aisle in the middle and pews to the left. (The last shall be first and the first last. In this world, the least respected are those who seek not the admiration of the world but put themselves last and on the cross. They sit on the right, for they are the true sheep.)
Suddenly, something took place in the Temple that caused us all to stand up. And as we stood up, I noticed there was a bride standing in the pew directly in front of me. As I looked at her, I was taken aback in shock. She was a “dark” woman who was wearing a beautiful, modern, white, slinky, sophisticated wedding dress. But to my surprise, the back of her dress had a see-through panel, through which I saw her naked body and an ugly tattoo on her right hip, which was an appalling sight! (This is a type of the Laodicean church whose nakedness was not revealed to her, for it was the back of her dress that was missing, but it was revealed to everyone else because of her walking in darkness. (Rev.3:17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:
(18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. We must be dressed up with the works of Jesus to have on the wedding garment. (Rom.13:12) The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (13) Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. (14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].)
I turned my head to the Lord and said, “Lord, why did you want me to see this?” He responded and said, “Keep looking”, and we all sat down. Then a woman walked through the double doors on the wall behind our pew and over toward the middle aisle at the end of the last pew where we sat, and somehow, I knew she was the coordinator of this dress rehearsal. As she stood in the aisle at the end of our pew, she motioned to a family sitting at that end to get my attention.
As I turned to look toward her, she had draped across both arms the most beautiful veil I have ever seen, which I can't describe because it was not of this world, but of a “heavenly” nature. I was awestruck at the sight of this veil, so much so that I couldn't breathe or move, but could only feel my heart beating. (This Veil is truly not of this world and represents the manifestation of submission to the Lord and His Word, for He is our Husband who sows the seed of the Word in our hearts.)
Suddenly, she pointed to me, indicating that the veil was mine! I was frozen and couldn't believe that t
