Who gets married at the heavenly wedding after the rapture?

After believers come through the bema seat in glory, the next aspect is the heavenly wedding. Christ the Lamb is married to His Body, the Church. Believers who become members of the Body of Christ through faith in the Gospel are joined to Him, dead to the law by the Body of Christ and married to Him who was raised from the dead.

Les teaches that after we have come through the bema seat in glory, the next aspect is the wedding, which he feels will be in heaven while the Tribulation is here on earth. This wedding is between Christ the Lamb and the Body, the Church. Paul, who writes concerning the Church, makes so much of Christ and His Body. In Romans chapter 7, verse 4, Paul writes, "wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law by the Body of Christ." That is the law of Moses, the Mosaic system; it no longer has power over us. So we are dead to the law by the Body of Christ, but we are not just dead and to be forgotten—we are to be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead, and that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Les explains this begins in the earthly sojourn: as soon as we become a child of God and a member of the Body of Christ through faith in the Gospel, we are already connected to Christ, joint heirs with Him, with He as the Head and we as the members of the Body.
