GOD ALSO HAS HIS OWN FEASTS and PARTIES, With EATING and DRINKING; and ALL of Us Are Invited. Will You Attend? Or Will You Excuse Yourself?

Eating, Drinking, Dancing, and Entertainment are parts of Marriage Celebrations and of Life. But, just like the other aspects of life, all these can be misused, abused, and corrupted. The right use of Eating, Drinking, Dancing, and Entertainment are those that leads to Good Marriage and Family Health, True and Long-lasting Happiness, and most especially, those that makes you close to the Creator God Almighty.

Eating, Drinking, Dancing, and Entertainment are parts of Marriage Celebration and of Life. But, just like the other aspects of life, all these can be misused, abused, and corrupted. If abused, misused, and corrupted, these eating, drinking, dancing, etc. will surely lead to Sorrow, Destruction, and Death. The Bible said that people doing this have already died, even though they are still biologically alive (1Timothy 5:6). 

• But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.  (1Tim 5:6 HNV)

GOD ALSO HAS HIS OWN FEASTS AND PARTIES WITH EATING AND DRINKING, AND WE ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!

GOD Himself commanded several feasts to be observed by many generations. Examples are: the Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth), where there is also eating, drinking, and entertainment. Also, GOD instituted the weekly 7th day SABBATH and commanded man to always remember and keep it, as a delightful feast. Then, there will be that coming Wedding Feast of the Messiah (Christ) with His BRIDE, that will be the most joyous, with eating and drinking also.

• The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain King, who made a Marriage Feast for His Son, and sent out His servants to call those who were invited to the Marriage Feast, but they would not come. (Mat 22:2-3 HNV)

But the problem is that people, even those religious people invited by GOD belittle His invitation, especially that of the coming important Marriage feast of the King's only begotten Son, who is Jesus Christ.

ARE YOU MORE INTERESTED IN THE ROCK CONCERTS AND PARTIES OF YOUR IDOLS, TOWN FIESTAS, BIRTHDAY PARTIES, AND CHRISTMAS PARTIES; RATHER THAN THE FEASTS AND PARTIES OF GOD HIMSELF?

People are more interested in the Feasts and Parties of Men's desires and inventions, rather than the commanded Feasts of GOD! Even with excitements, people would spend their money and time to prepare and attend the Feasts and Parties of their IDOLS -- the great political and entertainment celebrities of the world, embodied by King Ahasueros! 

But when it comes to the Feasts and Parties of the Great KING OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE (the Great Creator GOD), especially that of the Wedding Feast of the Messiah (Jesus Christ) with His BRIDE, they would decline and give all the excuses they can think of!

The KING of the UNIVERSE send the second invitation hoping that by this time the invited people would respond positively.

• Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Behold, I have made ready my dinner. My oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the Marriage Feast!" (Mat 22:4 HNV)

But, still, the people declined, giving excuses like:  

1. I am so busy with my job and business; I have no time. 
2. My boss will not allow me to leave my job; if I insist, I may lose my job. 
3. With the current economic crisis and hardship in eking out a living, I have to work harder for my family to survive. Maybe next time.
4. etc, etc...

• They made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business, (Mat 22:5 HNV)

And worse, some of those invited persecuted and even killed GOD's Servants and Messengers!

• And the others seized his slaves, treated them outrageously and killed them. (Mat 22:6)

THE GREAT KING OF THE UNIVERSE STRIKES AND DESTROYS THOSE UNWILLING INVITED GUESTS! 

So GOD was forced to strike them with the flaming sharp edge of Judgment of His sharp Two-Edged Sword!

• The King was enraged, so he sent out his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned down their city. (Mat 22:7)

• Then he told his servants, 'The banquet is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. (Mat 22:8)

ARE YOU WORTHY TO ATTEND GOD'S MARRIAGE FEAST? 

• Therefore, go to where the roads exit the city and invite everyone you find to the banquet. (Mat 22:9)

• So those servants went out on the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good. The wedding banquet was filled with guests. (Mat 22:10)
