1. Introduction

Today, many groups are debating whether the use of white garment is necessary or not. Some are pleased to wear it, while many others hate it or condemn the wearing of white garment. Who is right? Who is wrong? How can we know the truth?

2. God’s Warning

“Warn humanity. For a long time, every church have been doing whatever they like and claim that they are worshipping me. The fact is that I am neither in these diverse religions nor in their numerous churches, because they are not worshipping me the way I want.

“Now is the time of Truth, whoever that wants to worship me must do so in spirit and in truth, exactly the way I want. That is what it means to do my will.

“The time of mercy has gone. Some shall be used to set example, for others to learn wisdom and do the right set of things. I have sent out to the world Warrior Angels with merciless words, and they have swung into end time sweeping operations. All the works of humanity shall be razed down by the consuming fire of my wrath, because they are provocations and disobedience.”

3. It Is Always Compulsory

Check both Old and New Testaments, and you will discover that the use of white garment is compulsory. Christianity is for both theory and practical. Unfortunately, many are now hypocrites, because they claim to be Christians without living as Christians.

God said that the use of white garment is compulsory. That is why several portions of the bible made clear the relevance. Already, God has said it, and warned, that any person, who does not wear white garment, should not enter His temple, church or holy place.

In His anger and warning, God said that it is not every type of white garment that are allowed. There is a standard white garment for the male and another standard style for the women. Be warned!

4. White Garment Is The Glorious Garment

It is the garment of salvation, the robe of righteousness and the mantle of praise:

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

My soul shall be joyful in my God;

For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

Isaiah 61:10

To console those who mourn in Zion,

To give them beauty for ashes,

The oil of joy for mourning,

The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

That they may be called trees of righteousness,

The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."

Isaiah 61:3

5. It Is God’s Mode Of Dressing

Some people have asked, “How does God dress like?”

God Almighty wears white garment. The whiteness is sparkling white, and yet, comfortable to look at. But, when God transfigures into His higher dimension, the white become so radiant and sparkling that you cannot look at Him. That is why some people cover their eyes, when they appear in the presence of the God Almighty. Even Angels do cover their face because of the brightness of God. The brightness means that God’s dress is made of light, pure white light. White garment is God’s favourite dress.

Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,

Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

Psalms 104:2

In the vision of the Ancient of Days, Daniel saw God wearing white garment

"I watched till thrones were put in place,

And the Ancient of Days was seated;

His garment was white as snow,

And the hair of His head was like pure wool.

His throne was a fiery flame,

Its wheels a burning fire;

Daniel 7:9,10

6. Jesus Was In The Habit Of Wearing Garment

The use of garment was very common during the time of Jesus

That is why the pictures of Jesus show Him wearing white garments only. His garments are indeed glorious in appearance.

The woman of issue of blood was healed when she touched the garment of Jesus.

And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well." Matthew 9:20,21

Likewise, as many as touched the hem of His garment were healed.

Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well. Mark 6:56

In the book of revelation, Jesus was wearing garment.

and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. Revelation 1:13

7. It Is The Wedding Garment

The kingdom of heaven is for those who wear white garment only.

"But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.

Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

"For many are called, but few are chosen."

Matthew 22:11-14

Check the last statement above, and you discover that what the bible said what is actually happening today. Only very few people, white garment churches, wear white garment for worship.

8. It Is The Garment Of Consolation, The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit

When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. Revelation 6:9-11

9. It Is The Heavenly Mode Of Dressing

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:

"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,

Thanksgiving and honour and power and might,

Be to our God forever and ever.

Amen."

Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"

And I said to him, "Sir, you know."

So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. 16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:9-17

10. That Is How Angels And Saints Dress In Heaven

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Revelation 19:11-16

11. It Is Very Common In The Old Testament:

It was the everyday dress of the Israelites.

12. It Was So Important That You Are Not Allowed To Seize It.

Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the Valley of Achor. Joshua 7:24

God does not want stolen items in his house. Do not use such for offering, sacrifice, donation, pledge or gift. Today, so many ministers of od are accepting offerings without inspection and without inquiry.

Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
