The first chapters of Genesis and the final chapters of Revelation form strikingly parallel bookends to God’s Story. In this series we’re comparing the two, seeing how God began everything and how he’ll ensure that his original intentions will come to fruition in the end. This week we see that God’s story is bookend by weddings! The very first wedding in history was a small, private, outdoor, garden wedding in Genesis 2. The final wedding in history will be a massive, public, urban wedding in a huge modern city, followed by a big reception complete with great food and dancing! See Revelation 19 for some of the details. God created us lacking and intended marriage (one man + one woman for one lifetime) to vividly illustrate his commitment to us.
