The Chuppa (Jewish Wedding Canopy)

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.John 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 

The Chuppah (Wedding canopy) is representative of the marriage chamber and the ancient custom of the chatan (groom) building a room onto the house of his father in preparation for receiving his Ishah (wife) to be. This once took place during the year of erusin/kiddushin (betrothal, sanctification) prior to the groom returning for his kalah (bride) and carrying her away following the nissuin (Wedding ceremony, marriage, to be carried [nasa] (Internet Quote.)

The place for the bride of Christ to prepare for her upcoming marriage was prepared and returned to us on the day of Pentecost. He referred to it as the Kingdom of God. It was attached to the Father through His personal representative, the Holy Spirit. When we enter the Kingdom of God as a child of God, we then come to live in this attachment to the Father’s dwelling place in heaven as a member of His household and as a beloved child.

Ephesians 2:19 KJV(19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

The Godhead teaches and transforms us by renewing our minds until our soul matures into the full stature of Christ, and as a bride, we become suitable to be wed to the King of Glory. It is the Father's great pleasure to prepare us, but God cannot force us against our will. We must become obedient to His leading in every area of our lives to become a successful bride. Obedience keeps our lamps full of oil and us ready to go at a moment's notice. Any lack of willing obedience could cause us to become unsuitable to wed the King.

Matthew 25:1 KJV(1) Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

Matthew 25:6-12 KJV(6) And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.(7) Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.(8) And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.(9) But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.(10) And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.(11) Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.(12) But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

It is not possible to establish your identity as a child of God while professing allegiance and identifying with another. Renounce all other identities first. He will not accept double-mindedness from anyone. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness now. Believe in your heart, audibly confess before the Father your identity as a child of God, and you shall enter into His Kingdom and His household today. The hour is late, and the time is getting very short. Let the Father begin your preparations now.
