Who are the remnant? Who is the Bride? To whom will the Bridegroom come to carry into His chamber and be with as a wife?

Shall it be those who think about themselves 99% of the time? What can He give me? How will He bless me? ME, ME, ME. Shall it be those who think about Jesus, about the Bible, who look assiduously into things written, but don't KNOW the Author of that which is written? Will it be those who never hear His voice - but demand He only speak "from the Scriptures" or they will be too afraid to trust? Shall it be those who go into the bridal chamber crying for milk, and needing to be nurtured, and babied and coddled? Will He wed those who are easily offended and who act without His leadership, who act without asking Him?

Shall the Bridegroom take an infant into the chamber with Him, and speak of deep things in the Spirit, and speak of things in His heart? Shall He do this with a self-centered infant? He cannot and will not. Those who will not learn to trust the Living God, and who do not know Him as a bride MUST know her Bridegroom- those who love Him so little and love themselves and their doings on earth so much more than Him - will NOT be taken to the bridal chamber with the Bridegroom.

Remnant, you must be brought to maturity. If you will not, you will not be married to Jesus. He does not desire His wife to be a child who needs a mother - not a Husband. Those who PREFER milk are those who will not desire meat. He offers a relationship of maturity, and it is being refused by those who remain forever children.

Remnant must cry out for maturity - and be willing to face the Refiner's fire. We are lacking and we are not ready for Him. He is warning us. "I will have a wife, not a baby, for My Bride."
