What are the 'Wedding Clothes' Worn at the Wedding Feast (Banquet) of Heaven in Matthew 22?
📰The Bible is one of the best-selling and most widely distributed books in history, yet it is also considered to be among the least understood. The Bible, which is referred to as the New Covenant and Promise of God, in which 'the way to heaven and salvation' is presented, differs in theologians' interpretations that make it difficult to understand. These differing interpretations have been the cause of the rise of denominations with each one establishing their own doctrine. With the increase in online church services and gatherings resulting from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, there has been growing interest in the comparison of various church doctrine. This paper, therefore, attempts to provide readers with the opportunity to compare differing Biblical teachings without interpretation. Among a host of online sermons and Bible-based teachings, the contrasting doctrine between the established Church and Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which has drawn public interest throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, is hereby compared and summarised. Best efforts have been made to provide a summary of Shincheonji Church of Jesus' understanding of the Bible. Judgment as to what is right or wrong is left to the reader’s discernment.
"The 'wedding clothes' are worn by the 144,000 and the multitude in white (great multitude) of the 12 tribes of Mount Zion, and symbolise one's righteous acts or deeds"
Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony

First, let's take a look at the scene of the wedding feast (banquet) of heaven in Matthew 22.
Jesus likened the kingdom of heaven to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. Here, the king is God, the son to be married is Jesus, the servants are the prophets and evangelists sent by God, and the guests invited to the wedding feast are believers in God. The location of this wedding feast is the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony that has appeared today at the time of the Second Coming, according to what was promised. This marriage signifies the union of the Holy Spirit and the Flesh of the chosen believers.

The location of this wedding feast is the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony that has appeared today at the time of the Second Coming, according to what was promised. This marriage signifies the union of the Holy Spirit and the Flesh of the chosen believers.
What is the evidence that proves the location of the wedding feast of heaven where God and Jesus are?
God commands his servants to slaughter his oxen and fattened cattle as food for the guests at the wedding feast. These oxen are shepherds (pastors) who were once God's servants but betrayed, and the fattened cattle refer to false pastors who destroyed God's chosen people. Slaughtering the oxen and fattened cattle means that the identity of the betrayers and destroyers can be made known (testified). It is after the judgment of the betrayers (Rv 6, Rv 13) and destroyers (Rv 16-18) that one will know where the wedding feast of heaven is to be held. Today, as recorded in Revelation chapters 6 and 13, God's chosen people have betrayed, and in Revelation chapter 18, they are judged because they married the devil and sinned.
When the wedding feast in heaven takes place, the events of betrayal, destruction and salvation, which have appeared according to the order of the fulfilment of prophecy, will be made known to the whole world. At this time, God's oxen and fattened cattle attest to the wedding banquet of the Lamb in Revelation 19. Who will be invited to this wedding feast?
At the time of salvation, there is a harvest, and being invited to the wedding feast of heaven is the same as being harvested. All those who are invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb are poor in spirit, they hunger and thirst for righteousness, obey the word of God and receive the blessing of being harvested.
Let's take a look at those who were driven out of the wedding feast for not wearing the correct attire.

Let's take a look at those who were driven out of the wedding feast for not wearing the correct attire.
In order to attend the king's banquet, one must at least be dressed appropriately for the occasion. When the king asks the person why he has come in without wedding clothes, he remains speechless. This means that there is no excuse he can give in response to the king's question. This man knew that he should have come wearing wedding clothes, but he chose not to do so.
This person is eventually expelled from Heaven to Hell, where he weeps and gnashes his teeth. In order not to be cast out to hell after being invited to heaven, one must know what these wedding clothes are, and prepare them accordingly. What are the wedding clothes one should have at the wedding feast?
In Revelation 19:8, the robe worn by the bride is the righteous acts of God's people. The righteous acts refer to the washing of the clothes of one's heart that has been dirtied due to adultery with the teachings of Satan in Revelation 18. In order to enter the holy city of heaven, as recorded in Revelation 22:14, it is necessary to wash off one's robes soiled by sin, and make them clean. How can I wash the clothes of my heart that have been dirtied with sin?
Is there a launderette that can wash the clothes of the heart? The clothes of one's heart polluted by sin can be cleansed by believing in, and keeping, the word of revelation. This word of revelation is the water of life and the blood of Jesus that flows from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
The launderette that washes the clothes of one's heart is the word of revelation. Therefore, the 12 tribes of Shincheonji is established by the one who overcomes recorded of in Revelation 2-3. The one who overcomes is the one to whom God, the holy city New Jerusalem, and Jesus descend from heaven. Also, as the witness who saw and heard the realities of the war of Revelation, he is the only savior who sits on the throne of God and Jesus in Revelation 3:21 and can testify the word.
Moreover, the promised shepherd (pastor) who overcomes becomes the tree of life who, according to the blessings of Revelation 2-3, receives the manna, the bread of eternal life, the white stone of judgment and the iron sceptre that rules all nations, and creates the 12 tribes of Shincheonji, a place free of death and pain. Without the appearance of the one who overcomes, there is no one who can testify the word of revelation, which means there would be no forgiveness of sin, and God, heaven and Jesus could not dwell on the earth. That is why, both in heaven and on earth, there must be someone who overcomes.

That is why, both in heaven and on earth, there must be someone who overcomes.
The wedding clothes are worn by the one who overcomes, the 144,000 and the multitude in white who belong to the 12 tribes established by the one who overcomes. These people are with the Lamb on Mount Zion in Revelation 7 and 14. These members (congregants) of today's 12 tribes of Shincheonji have been harvested, sealed and forgiven by the word of revelation that is delivered through the one who overcomes.
Therefore, the Bible is an invitation to the wedding feast of heaven. This wedding invitation is written in heaven's language, so in order to avoid making the excuse that one could not make it to heaven, one must understand heaven's language. God's wedding invitation contains detailed information about the time, place and prerequisites of entering the wedding banquet of heaven. This wedding invitation can only be understood through the one who overcomes who has mastered the writings about heaven, and the sealed 12 tribes.
"These 'wedding clothes' is the plain, coloured suit of one who comes to church"
Korean Church
"There is a Korean proverb that reads 'clothes are wings'. Just looking at one's clothes reveals everything about that person. So clothes are so important.
Then why should you wear wedding clothes? Firstly, because clothes reflect a person's personality. So I bless you in the name of the Lord that you all come before God in the most beautiful attire as the brides of Jesus.
The colour of one's suit should also be carefully chosen. As far as is possible, the colour of the clothes of the chosen people of God should be a single colour - either a solid, black or an ivory colour."
