Page 90 - The Remnant Bride

This last group will suffer complete loss of reward for Yahshua will testify that He does

not even know them. They will realize how great a grace they have resisted and how
tremendous a reward they have forfeited. Even these will eventually have their tears wiped

away, yet there will be no remedy for their loss. They will receive reward according to their
works.

The wise virgins will have reward, though not of the same measure as the Bride. It is
one thing to be let in to attend the wedding feast, and quite another thing to be the Bride

who is being wedded. So we see in the Bride and the two groups of attendants, three
separate and distinct groups of saints. It is the wise who will submit to the cross while they

are freely able to do so, and who will allow God to cleanse and purify them. These will be
spared a much more difficult cleansing.

The Bride will be kept from the day of testing, but she will not be removed from the
earth during this time. God has a group of Overcomers who are being prepared to prevail

over every work of the enemy and to put every enemy under their feet. We have already seen
that David is a type of the Bride. David was also a warrior, and he fought and conquered all

the enemies round about until Israel knew rest. The enemies of God were made subject to

David and they brought tribute to him. Even so, those who are a part of the Bride will be
used to put every enemy under Christ’s feet. They cannot do so if they have been raptured
up to heaven.

When God completed His judgments of Egypt, the people of Egypt saw how God had

made a distinction between them and those who dwelt in Goshen. Egypt knew God was with
His people. God gave the children of Israel great favor in the eyes of the Egyptians and the
Egyptians gave the Israelites gifts of all that they owned to the extent that we are told the

Israelites “plundered” the Egyptians. In a similar way all the world will know those who

belong to God in the days of tribulation. They will see that the Overcomers are not harmed
in any way by the judgments of God. The words of Isaiah will be fulfilled:

Isaiah 60:1-5

"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen upon you.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But

Yahweh will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to
your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about
