In the context of Revelation 19:9-21, John writes of the marriage supper of the Lamb, the great supper of God (v. 9 and v. 17). Is this one and same supper,  two different aspects of the same supper, or two distinct suppers that were back to back in time?  The parable of the marriage feast speaks of only one marriage feast (Matt. 22:1-14).  If there’s just one supper, the carnage from the dead bodies becomes the flesh for the supper of the Lamb.  Since the saints are invited to partake in this great supper.  It is not consistent that the saints are depicted as unclean vultures feeding upon dead corpses in “the great supper of God” (cf. Matt. 24:28).  The faithful saints who partake of the marriage feast are arrayed in white linen.   It seems more reasonable, therefore, to see these suppers as two distinct suppers that coincide in time.  As soon as the burning of the city took place, the supper is made ready.  The Jews are first invited but they rejected the king’s invitation.  So, other guests were invited and the Jews who rejected Him were slaughtered and their flesh became the feast for the vultures.
