# Wedding
|
||
|
||
A wedding is an event where a man and woman are married. In New Testament times, there was usually a large meal to celebrate a marriage. This was called the “wedding feast.” The feast could be for several days.

The words “wedding” and “wedding feast” were used in the Bible as metaphors. They were used to talk about God’s people living in happiness with God (Isaiah 25:6,8; Hosea 2:16-19; Matthew 22:1-14). Paul used marriage to talk about Christians living with Jesus forever (2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:25-32). John wrote about the wedding feast of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7-9; 21:2, 9). This was a way of talking about Christians celebrating and living with Jesus forever. This will happen after Jesus defeats Satan (Revelation 21:1-4; 22:1-5).
