The '''heavenly wedding banquet''' is a parable Jesus gave to His disciples. The parable explains that the saints who attend the wedding banquet will receive salvation and enter the eternal kingdom of heaven. As a marriage is an important and joyful event in a lifetime, so it will be to go to heaven. Another purpose of comparing the kingdom of heaven to a wedding banquet is to introduce the bride. We can know about God who gives us salvation, through the wedding banquet consisting of a bridegroom, a bride, and guests.
