BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES

The marriage will have a sacred procession. For this reason, the bridegroom will enter the chuppah (marriage canopy) first. When the bridegroom approaches the chuppah, the cantor chants, “Blessed is he who comes.”

Blessed is he who comes is an idiomatic expression which means “welcome”. Yeshua said that he would not return until these words were spoken. In Matthew / Mattityahu 23:39 it is written:

Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me henceforth, until you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
