Just my thoughts

I agree with you! Just curious.

So where in all this does the marriage supper of the Lamb fit in? Past, present, or future?

Well, we have agreed that God is married to the Church, Israel.

Then we have agreed that new souls are born of that relationship between the Church and God.

But traditional thinking says that the Church is only espoused to God, not married to Him yet, traditional thinking puts the marriage supper of the lamb into the future, after the rapture. If that's the case then the souls being born would be born through fornication.

I, of course, see it different.

[Michael The Disciple]

We are at present children of God BY FAITH.

26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal. 3:26

We have the down payment of the Spirit but actually we are not full Sons as yet.

13: In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14: Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Eph. 1:13-14

We have the SPIRIT OF ADOPTION.

Note the difference between the spirit of adoption and the ADOPTION ITSELF.

15: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Rom. 8:15

22: For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23: And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24: For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Rom. 8:22-24

So strictly speaking we are not yet Sons but will be made so at the resurrection. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE ADOPTION.

This agrees with the teaching of Yeshua that we become Children of God at the resurrection.

35: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Luke 20:35-36

So in summary we are children of God in that we have received the Spirit as a downpayment of what is to come if we endure to the end.

At that time....the resurrection we receive the actual adoption as Sons are are Children of God in fact and not just by faith. peace and love

Bro. TJJJ,

No wonder there is a lack of souls being born into the Kingdom of God.
If those in the Church think their not married yet, they are waiting until
the Groom comes and the marriage takes place. To those who KNOW
they are married to the Groom,(the risen Christ), have received Him and
He is already in them. (Christ in you, the hope of glory).So Christ was
once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him
shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Heb.9:28

Blessings,
