✪ All interpreters face this difficulty, even those who are not futurists. For example, Ps. 46:9 describes a time which none can claim has been fulfilled in history and yet which details ancient weapons. Micah 4:3 speaks of an undeniably future fulfillment (the millennial reign) and mentions swords and spears which would hardly be considered modern weaponry. "Some have ground great difficulty in the references to armor, buckler, shield, sword and helmet, but even in our day of advanced weapons of warfare it is interesting to learn that in some parts of the world conflict is going on with primitive weapons. (And how else could an ancient writer have described warfare? They knew nothing of planes and guns.)" Ref-0171, p. 221. "Another possibility is that the ancient weapons depicted by Ezekiel are very literal. Consequently, the prophet is describing the exact kind of weaponry that will be used in this future battle. This view is espoused both by Dr. John F. Walvoord and Dr. Paul Lee Tan. According to this view, by the time these events happen—due to the peculiar circumstances of the day, such as depletion of the world’s energy supply or disarmament agreements—there actually will be a return to ancient warfare practices."

"Jewish marriage included a number of steps: first, bretrothal (which involved the prospective groom's traveling from his father's house to the home of the prospective bride, paying the purchase price, and thus establishing the marriage covenant); second, the groom's returning to his father's house (which meant remaining separate from his bride for 12 months, during which time he prepared the living accommodations for his wife in his father's house); third, the groom's coming for his bride at a time not known exactly to her; fourth, his return with her to the groom's father's house to consummate the marriage and to celebrate the wedding feast for the next seven days (during which the bride remained closeted in her bridal chamber)." Ref-0079, p. 67. "First, the father of the groom made the arrangements for the marriage and paid the bride price [Acts 20:28; Eph. 5:25-27]. The timing of the arrangement varied. Sometimes it occurred when both children were small, and at other times it was a year before the marriage itself. Often the bride and groom did not even meet until their wedding day. The second step, which occurred a year or more after the first step, was the fetching of the bride. The bridegroom would go to the home of the bride in order to bring her to his home [John 14:3; 1Th. 4:13-18]. In connection with this step, two other things should be noted. First, it was the father of the groom who determined the timing [Mat. 24:36]. Second, prior to the groom's leaving to fetch the bride, he must already have a place prepared for her as their abode [John 14:2]. This was followed by the third step, the wedding ceremony, to which a few would be invited [Rev. 19:7]. Prior to the wedding ceremony, the bride underwent a ritual immersion for ritual cleansing [1Cor. 3:12-15; Rev. 19:7-8]. The fourth step, the marriage feast, would follow and could last for as many as seven days. Many more people would be invited to the feast than were to the marriage ceremony [Mat. 22:1-14; 25:1-13]. In the Marriage of the Lamb all four of these steps of the Jewish wedding ceremony are evident." pp. 162-163. See Ref-0220, pp.164-169 for an extensive treatment with references. "Christ's relationship to His church is analogous to that of a groom to his bride (Eph 5:22-33; 2 Cor 11:2). Thus, the New Testament uses the Jewish marriage custom as an analogy to depict the relationship between Christ and the church. There are seven aspects to this relationship.34 First, the groom travels to the home of the bride's father and pays the betrothal contract price for the hand of the bride. This step is the equivalent of Christ's death that paid the price necessary for the church to enter into a relationship to Him (1 Cor 6:19-20). Second, during the betrothal period, the groom is temporarily separated from the bride in order to prepare temporary dwelling places in his father's house. These dwellings would eventually be indwelt by the groom and his new bride. This step represents Christ's Ascension and the beginning of the Church Age. Here, Christ is temporarily separated bodily from His church as He is preparing temporary dwelling places for His bride in His Father's house (John 14:2). Just as the fidelity of the groom and bride are tested during this time of separation, the church's loyalty to Christ is currently being tested as the church is tempted to succumb to false teaching and worldly conduct (Jas 4:4; 2 Cor 11:2). Third, at an unknown time, the groom returns to the bride's home. Upon his return the groom is accompanied with escorts, is preceded by a shout, and comes to collect his bride and take her to his father's house. This step is the equivalent of the rapture of the church, when Christ accompanied by angels and preceded by the shout of an archangel (1 Thess 4:16-17), will come at an unknown time to take the church to His father's house in heaven to the temporary dwellings He has prepared for her (John 14:3). Fourth, the bridal party returns to the groom's father's home in order to meet wedding guests who have already assembled. This step is the equivalent of the raptured church being taken to heaven in order to greet Old Testament saints who are already in the presence of the Lord. Fifth, during the consummation of the marriage stage the wedding party waits outside the marital chamber while the new couple enters into this chamber in order to physically consummate their new union. This step is the equivalent of the church's marriage to Christ. Thus, at this point, the church is no longer merely the bride of Christ but now has formally been married to Him. Sixth, the groom emerges from the marital chamber announcing to the wedding party the reality of this new physical union. The groom then returns to the marital chamber to be with his bride for seven days while the wedding guests continue to celebrate outside the marital chamber. This step is the equivalent of the church after the rapture being hidden with Christ in heaven for seven years (Dan 9:27), while the events of the Tribulation transpire on the earth below. Seventh, the groom and the bride emerge from the marital chamber unveiled and in full view of the wedding party. The bride had been veiled to the wedding party thus far. This step is the equivalent of Christ and the church returning to the earth at the conclusion of the seven year Tribulation period unveiled (Col 3:4) and visible to the entire world (Rev 1:7; 19:7-9). With this background in mind, interpreters should be open to a rapture interpretation of John 14:2-3." -- Andy Woods, Jesus and the Rapture, pp. 26-27, [http://www.spiritandtruth.org/teaching/documents/articles/97/97.pdf] accessed 20121201.

"The marriage ceremony and the marriage feast are two separate elements of a Jewish wedding. Only a few guests are invited to attend the marriage ceremony, and these are generally the relatives and close friends of the bride and groom. Then there is a wider invitation for many others to attend the wedding feast, which will last for seven days. This is where “the friends of the bridegroom” come in. These friends include a wider circle of people—sometimes more distant relatives and sometimes a wider circle of friends and also those involved in several facets of the wedding feast. All these may be classed as “the friends of the bridegroom.” By way of application to eschatology, these would include the resurrected Old Testament saints and the resurrected tribulation saints who will participate in the wedding feast of the Lamb."

✪ See X0105 - 3.5 years. h7620 - shabuwa "Each year of [the Babylonian] captivity represented one seven-year cycle in which the seventh or Sabbath year had not been observed. Thus it is clear that the context refers to years, not days." Ref-0044, p. 118. "the Hebrew word shabua is found only in one other passage of the book (Dan. 10:2-3), where the prophet states that he mourned and fasted ‘three full weeks.’ Now here it is perfectly obvious that the context demains ‘weeks’ of days. . . And significantly, the Hebrew here reads literally ‘three sevens of days.’ Now if in the ninth chapter, the writer intended us to understand that the ‘seventy sevens’ are composed of days, why did he not use the same form of expression adopted in chapter ten?" Ref-0050, p. 243 quoting McClain. "There are four good reasons for believing that the “seven” intended here is a period of seven years: (1) Daniel has just been concerned about years (vv. Dan. 9:1-2). (2) It is impossible to fit the events of verses 24-27 into 490 days or weeks. (3) In the only other place where Daniel uses the word week, he qualifies it by adding the word days (Dan. 10:2-3). (4) Finally, the fact that verse 27 speaks of a covenant being broken at the half-way point of the seventieth seven agrees well with Daniel 7:25, 12:7, and Revelation 12:14, which speak of three-and-one-half years as one-half of a week." Ref-0132 "A document . . . found at Qumran, 11QMelch, interprets the seventy “weeks” in Dan. 9:24 as 490 years made up of ten Jubilee periods. (See the discussion in Finegan, Handbook of Biblical Chronology, 128-129." Ref-1307, p. 36

Wesley - John - conversion : Ps. 130; 2Pe. 1:4

"Wesley had been seeking to lead a methodical life of devotion (origin of the word ‘Methodist’). After studying theology at Oxford, he set out to do missionary work in America, although he had not yet come to any assurance of his own salvation. But on May 24, 1738, God spoke to him two different times through verses from the Bible (2Pe. 1:4 and Ps. 130:1-8). He said that that evening he went very unwillingly to a meeting on Aldersgate Street, where someone was reading Luther's preface to the epistle to the Romans. ‘About a quarter before nine,’ he wrote, ‘while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.’" Ref-0060, p. 288. "At the end of his time in America Wesley wrote in his journal, “it is now two years and almost four months since I left my native country, in order to teach the Georgian Indians the nature of Christianity. But what have I learned myself in the meantime? Why, what I the least of all suspect, that I, who went to America to convert others, was never myself converted to God.”" Ref-0958, pp. 64-65.
