The Banquet: [Rev. 19:17].
According to Ascensio Isai, viii. 26, ix. 18, xi. 40, the righteous on the arrival of the Messiah: [Rev 5:5], receive
in the seventh heaven, (the seventh state of the Church, Laocidea, [Rev 3:14]): Christian Humanism: [Rev 1:20]), garments
of light (concerning Scripture: [Luke 24:32;45; 1Kings 18), as well as crowns to Christ as The Elijah and thrones to the Jewish
priests who see this light, (Rev 3:18).
No small part in the future bliss is played by the eating of the heavenly bread, (bread of the Eucharist) or (hidden)
manna:[Rev 2:17]
Sibyllines, Promium, 87; ?ag. 12b; Tan., Beshalla?, ed. Buber, p. 21; comp. "the mysterious food," II Esd. ix.
19]), the ambrosial milk and honey (Sibyllines, ii. 318, iii. 746), and, according to R. Joshua b. Levi, "the wine, (from
The Elijah Cup), prepared [from the first verse of scripture], In the beginning of the world" (Ber. 34b; comp. Matt.
xxvi. 29).
The very name for the highest bliss of the future is "the banquet" ([Rev. 19:17]; Abot iii. 16), which is the
same as "sitting at the (Show-bread) table of the suffering Messiah" (Rev. xix. 9; Luke xiii. 28-29, xxii. 30, et
al.).
It is called in rabbinical literature "se'uddat ha-liwyatan" (the banquet of the leviathan, [but in Christianity,
the Table of the Last Supper, Eucharist, where Jesus drinks the 5th cup of wine, sharing with all present]),that is to say,
in accordance with Job xl. 30 (A. V. xli. 6) the "ha-barim, or pious ones, (Rabbi, priest/minister, Mullah in the future)
shall hold their meal over it: [Rev. 19:17]"
