Subject: WHOS THE NEW BRIDE |
Bible Note: Answer: RC, thank you for your reply. 1, Yes, (Jer 3:14) 2,referring to the covenant (Lev 26:42) 3, Yes. (Jer 3:8) 4, (?) 5, Yes, (Eph. 5) 6, No 7, The Holy City 8, (?) In love with faith Tim 2.and 4. IF If the old covenant was considered to be His wife Israel (Jerusalem).In whom He divorced. Then would you agree that the New covenant would indeed have to be His New Bride, but not yet His wife, until His throne is in the New Heavens and Earth. Jer3:16-19, 6. Are we the new covenant people?, which duplicates,and continues Abrahams covenant which was completely fullfilled to Israel, before She was cut off. I beleive that the New Jerusalem is in fact all the people of God old and New covenants combined. Remember the writer of Hebrews said that you have come to the Heavenly Jerusalem, Hebrews 12:22-23. And Jesus says in Rev 3:12, to whom overcomes He will write the Name of his Father and the name of His city the New Jerusaem, and His name aswell. The New Jerusalems foundation is made of the Apostles and Prophets Eph 2:20, Rev 21:14, and we the Church are built upon this foundation. Eph 2:21, 4:16, We are the 1Peter 2:5- Spiritual house, vs 6, we are the stones. We are the New Spiritual Jerusalem. When Christ comes with the souls of His Bride 1Thess 4:14, The New Jeusalem, Rev 6:9, Rev 20:4, I believe most assuredly that we are the sons and daughters of the Bride chamber, we are the Sons and daughters of God the Father, But we are going to be Christs New wife, hence we are His bride being formed now. Remember the wedding garment that we have recieved, cloaked in His perfection, we dont have a spot , blemish or wrinkle, we are His virgin. When He arrives and after the rapture, He will eat and drink again during the marriage supper of the Lamb, the supper happens in Jewish litrature after the Marriage has taken place, this would be when all the people of God, old and new covenants at the rapture takes place, this is when we become His wife.remember He said He will not eat or Drink again until He dose it in the Kingdom of God. When He arrives and makes a New Heaven and Earth then shall we be with Him, and become His wife. I beleive that when the New Jerusalem comes down from Heaven Rev 21: 2 this is exactly Who we are. A spiritual house.Answers Question 7. and 8. I am certainly not close minded, but beleive that this prooves the point. I thank You aswell for you correspondence.Love in Christ Jesus RCSCROLL |
