^^ With regard to the relationship between Jesus Christ and His Church as referenced in Revelation chapter 19 above---

He is as I said, referred to as The Groom and His Church is the Bride of Christ. Eph 5: 22-27  And as such the picture here is that the Christian's relationship with the Lord is likened to the image of Holy Matrimony between a man and a woman here on earth. The Groom and the Bride 'choose' each other in marriage, which btw is to be once for all until death do they part. This arrangement where the Lord is concerned,  is an eternal commitment under which during our time here on earth following the salvation experience, each Christian is conformed to the image of Christ as his eyes are continually opened to the truths of God. But make no mistake, to be saved means to make a personal choice to live from that day forth for God. And after all, living life with our spouse here on earth is a commitment and a choice by both the groom and the bride. To not consciously make that momentous choice, or to put that choice off until it is too late, is the exact same thing as rejecting the Son of God outright. And it has eternal ramifications.

And as I have said in times past, God is not fooled by any man as to the true nature of his heart. Not so much as the most fleeting fragment of thought each of us will ever have escapes God's notice. He knows our every intent. That's why 'the lost' cannot and will not speak at their own judgment.
