When the complete number of the elect has come into Christ’s Church, Christ will come to judgment and will take His Church to the eternal joy of heaven. This heavenly, glorified Church is called the Church triumphant. This teaching of God’s Word gives the Church militant great comfort as it continues its journey and is subject to tribulation and persecution.
Matt. 5:10: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake, for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.
Rev. 19: 7,9: Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready... Blessed are they, which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb... these are the true sayings of God.
