So once they are done waiting then what? I believe that answer to be that the wife will be then ready and Christ return with the entire bride at the Second Coming (rev 19).

Yes. So? You keep saying things without telling me what you're really getting at. Please get to the point. Spell it out if you have to because I'm not seeing it so far.
Once Revelation 6:11 is completed as it says the bride will be ready because they all will be in heaven united(union between man and women) with Christ.

The question is why must the Lord wait until all were killed that needed to be killed? Answer, then the entire bride will be in heaven for the marriage. (rev 19)

No. I don't see that it's saying that at all. What about those who aren't killed? They can't be part of the bride unless they're killed? I'm not seeing your point at all here.
The Rapture of 1Thes4 occurs before all this takes place. Those who are not killed during the tribulation and have not taken the mark of the beast and who turn to the Lord during this period will be those who go into the millennium. I Believe those are the ones who are the guest at the marriage feast.

When you say "all" who are you referring to exactly?
The entire bride. There is a reason for why the Lord waits until all who are to be killed are killed. Why must the Lord wait for this to happen? Thus also are they not given white ropes after their death? or do they receive their white robes while yet here on this earth?

The ones mentioned in Rev 6 are obviously dead. Still not seeing your point.
My point is in order to receive a white robe are you not in heaven at this point? In order for the bride to be ready would they not have to have their white robes?

It is your belief that the fine linen represents immortal bodies, right?
It is the righteous acts of the saints. I would think that if this is the case (as rev 19 says) that they must have been rewarded and then garment received?

The ones mentioned in Rev 6:9-11 are given their robes at that time
Yes, because of their death. Now in order for the bride to have received this they must all be in heaven???? In order for the bride to be made ready they must all be clothed in fine linen.

If that is referring to immortal bodies then is it your belief that the rapture occurs at the fifth seal?
Rapture occurs before any seals, trumpets or bowls.

Sure. What is your point?
My point is that if they are clothed and the wife is ready that they have been already given their rewards. With that said the entire bride must be in heaven in order for this to occur.
