Subject: Who is the Bride of Christ? |
Bible Note: In Hebrews 1 it is written "God who in sundry times and in divers ways spake by the prophets"Now we know in part and we prophecy in part"(eph)Thus as I said before where Jesus can be found in all the scriptures in types and shadows and in divers ways so to will you find the Bride for where Jesus is as it were you will find the Bride. Now one verse does not prove a truth or doctrin.But of God keeps repeating a pattern it is for our admonishing and learning. That we may recognise the substance .For a type will always fall short of the very substance of which it points too even as a shadow gives only an outline of that which it for tells. So the Bride of Christ can be recognised by all the types and shadows put togther. Thus were the children of Isreal were meant to recognise him but though "they boasted in the scriptures but knew not Him of whom they spake" The two on the road to Emaus after the resurection Jesus drew near "and begining at MOSES" showed them CHrist in all the scriptures. Jesus is called the" LAST ADAM"in that he is called the last Adam he therefore is likened unto the first. "The first a living soul the last a quickening Spirit" So Adam was given a bride a wife. But where did she come from? But out of the midst of his body. So therefore as Jesus is the last Adam so too will his bride be taken form the midst of His body. Alone it might be misconstrued. Isaac the son of promise that beyond doubt is a type of Christ.the SON Abraham without doubt a type of the Father. sought a BRIDE FOR HIM. HE sent His servant a type of the Holy Spirit to seek a bride.Not among the heathen but from among HIS BRETHEREN. Levi had no inheritence but was chosen from among all the tribes and whos inheritence was God. The twelve apostles also had a body seperated from them Peter James and John. Who saw the raising of the dead. the transfiguration and the were closer than all the rest in the garden of Gethsemane. In the mouth then of two witneses it is established. Both Moses and Joshua were already married to a gentile wife before they were revealed as it were to thier bretheren as thier saviour Ruth was a moabite banned or cursed for ever by God . Yet as she turned from her land and gods to your people are my people and your God is my God she eventuaLY married Boaz THE REDEEMER. I said more than you quoted so I guess I nee to ask what did you not understand rather from wence i came.. But I hope this helped. gerald |
