If you are a Pre-Trib zealot and believe the Church will be raptured just before the Tribulation, then your answer concerning the when and where of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is really quite simple. It will take place when the Church is raptured and will occur in heaven, continuing for the seven years that the Tribulation is being carried out on earth.
Now, most Pre-Trib enthusiasts believe the seven-year Marriage Supper is modeled after the Jewish wedding celebration where the feasting and partying can last up to seven days or one week. In the End-Times’ case, the celebration will take place in heaven and last for a week of years rather than a week of days – or seven years, right?
Ah, but there are some chinks in the logic here!
Why would the Father overlook the greatest addition of new Jewish believers ever to the Body of Christ, especially since it’s a Jewish wedding celebration?
What Jewish believers will be missing at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb if the Marriage Supper is held in heaven while the Tribulation is carried out on earth?
1. All of Israel will be saved. (Romans 11.26). This could amount to a few million new Jewish believers.
2. The one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed martyrs slain during the Tribulation (Revelation 7:4-8)
3. The two witnesses – possibly Moses and Elijah. (Revelation 11:3)
Plus, in Isaiah 54:1-8 and Isaiah 62:1-5, the Father promises to marry Israel. If so, does this mean there could be a marriage supper in heaven for the Church and then a marriage supper for Israel on earth?
No, absolutely not!
And also, Jesus, Israel and the Church are interwoven together through –
1. Jesus is the Head of the Church (Ephesians 5:23), Bridegroom to the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33) and Husband to the bride who is named New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2). But Jesus is also the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David (Revelation 5:5) and the Son of David. (Matthew 21:9).
2. The twelve apostles are the foundation of the Church (Ephesians 2:20) and will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel ((Matthew 19:28) and the twelve apostles will be honored by having their names inscribed on the walls of the holy Jerusalem. (Revelation 21:14)
3. Jewish believers and Gentile believers are recreated into “one new man,” making peace between the two. (Ephesians 2:15)
Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride had made herself ready…Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:7, 9)
I just can’t see the Lord Jesus pouring a huge blessing on the basically Gentile side of the Church, while ignoring the Jewish believers. This is certainly not the way to make peace!
Studying the End-Times helps us understand the period better, but it also opens up new questions for us. But I believe I can make this one statement:
The marriage supper of the Lamb will not be happening in heaven while the Tribulation is being carried out on earth.

Do not confuse the Church and Israel. They are not the same the Bible says the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the consummation of the union between Christ and Church. Eph 5:27; Rev 19:1-14; Matt 22:1-14.
Thanks for your input. We’ll just have to disagree on this one.
While convinced that it is vital Christ-followers intently study prophecy, at the end of the day, I am a “pan-tribulationist.”
It’ll all pan out in the end, whatever we think about it! 🤠
If we were believers in North Korea, the last things on our minds would be the End-Times. We would then live life one day at a time.
But Jesus did say in Matthew 24:15, that the “readers should understand” His prophetic words in Chapter 24. So, this is my goal.
“I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.” (John 14:29)
“I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.” (john 16:4)
Though these were stated in specific circumstances, Jesus’ words hold principles that can be applied to any future prophecy.
The Matthew 24:15 prophecy is very specific: “When you see the abomination of desolation…” THAT is what the reader is to understand, that the Antichrist will take his place in the Holiest of Holies and declare himself to be some kind of god to be worshipped.
This was fulfilled in the first phase when (likely) Titus entered the Holy of Holies, and as many prophecies have multiple fulfillmenst (e.g., “the weeping of Ramah…”) this will happen again in a new temple rebuilt most likely during the first three years of the Antichrist’s reign.
Actually, General Titus and the Roman army fulfilled Jesus’ first Palm Sunday prophecy of Luke 19:41-44, not the Matthew 24:15 prophecy. You have to look at the context and the surrounding verses to discover its fulfillment. But yes, many Biblical prophecies have partial early fulfillments.
