The “delay” of the bridegroom in Mathew 25:5 does not demand that the bridegroom continues to delay his coming in our days. As we demonstrate, the Lord delayed his coming to receive his bride and consummate his wedding for forty years – one generation – as a demonstration of his patience and mercy, in order that “all Israel” might be saved. The bridegroom came and the remarriage of Israel to Yahweh took place at “the day and the hour” when the Old Covenant world was judged and removed in AD70. The wedding banquet is spread, come to the feast.
