1 | Explain 7 spirits of God, Jesus 7 church | Rev 5:6 | kalos | 17907 | ||
"...the church is His wife"? Israel is the "wife of the Lord" (see OT). The church is the "bride of Christ". "He is in the churches, but, not the churches." I honestly don't know what that means. Could you explain? Thank you. |

2 | Explain 7 spirits of God, Jesus 7 church | Rev 5:6 | kalos | 17911 | ||
Correction to my previous post. The church is "the bride, the Lamb's wife." Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." Rev. 21:9 Hosea 2:2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; She is not my wife That Israel is the wife of Jehovah Hosea 2:16-23, now disowned but yet to be restored, is the clear teaching of the passages. This relationship is not to be confounded with that of the Church of Christ. (See Scofield "John 3:29 ") . In the mystery of the Divine tri-unity both are true. The N.T. speaks of the Church as a virgin espoused to one husband 2 Corinthians 11:1,2 which could never be said of an adulterous wife, restored in grace. Israel is, then, to be the restored and forgiven wife of Jehovah, the Church the virgin [bride] of the Lamb ; John 3:29 ; Revelation 19:6-8 . Israel Jehovah's earthly wife Hosea 2:23, the Church the Lamb's heavenly bride, Revelation 19:7 . Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Hosea 2". "Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition)".
