The shattered body of the Lord Jesus was received from the cross, wrapped in a linen cloth and laid in the sepulcher. Mk. 14:51 The righteous high priest is also the perfect sacrifice. The righteous one dying for the unrighteous. Raise by the glory of the Lord and now, as the one and only mediator, the true High Priest, He represents the repentant before the throne of grace. 1 Tim. 2:5.

The end of the age is a time of great contrasts. The Bride of Christ will be clothed with linen, or the righteousness which is the righteousness of the saints. The very essence of the holiness of the Lord will be manifest in her in all of itís power and completeness. Rev. 19:7-8 The army of the Lord will be dressed with the same fine linen as they go forth for the ultimate defeat of the powers of darkness. Rev. 19:14 In this scripture we are given an insight as to the nature of these linen garments. They are described as white, Gr. leukos, which is derived from the word luke or light. Therefore we know that this material, which is called fine linen, is in all actuality the light of God. For God is light. 1 John 1:5 They are beings of light and are clothed by very God, Himself.
Rev. 19:14.

In contrast to all that which is marvelous and beautiful there is to arise, and is unquestionable being formed today, a false church which to the unsanctified and the unsaved eye will appear to be the answer to the prophetic statements of the Word. It will have a gorgeous appearance and will appeal to the natural, carnal man. It is clothed with a gaudy array of jewelry. Rev. 18:12 It is seen as a false bride, an amalgamated religion embracing all of the beliefs of the world and molding them into one. She too, is clothed with fine linen which may be shocking to some but that conclusion is drawn from the Word of the Lord. False Apostles will be utilized to lead the so called, Christian world, into a unity and compromise with all other religions, including Satanism. His ministers will appear as light bearers and a righteous individuals and deceive many. 2 Cor. 11:13-15 This false bride is identified as a city (The Lord has a city too, the New Jerusalem), There is but one city in the world today which has become the center, the heart of the three major religions of the world. There is a reason for the extreme interest shown toward that city. The final message concerning the Lord Jesus will be declared there by the two witnesses who will be the last to die as martyrs. Rev. 11:3, 8. The city is identified by these words, where ìour Lord was crucified.î These two witnesses are then resurrected together with all the righteous in the first resurrection at the close of the tribulation period. Rev. 11:12.
