Bible Question:
Hi Papyrus, Though there was a lapse of time in your reply but it is better late than never. Actually, there was a moment in time I thought I had lost you due to my overly persistance in asking questions. Now that you are back, I am relieved. You see,my knowledge of our Lord Jesus is very shallow and one of the ways to acquire knowledge fast is to ask questions. In this connection, please refer to my personal profile. In your reply, you have quoted Rev.19:7-10. Rev.19:7... For the wedding of the Lamb has come and His Bride has made herself ready" May I ask who is the Lamb and who is the Bride? With Love in Christ.

Bible Answer: THE LAMB IS CHRIST JESUS, JOHN 1:29,36. THE BRIDE IS THE CHURCH, MARK 2:19-20. CHRIST IS OUR BRIDEGROOM HENCE WE ARE THE BRIDE. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IT IS SAID THAT HE WILL DIVORCE HIS FIRST BRIDE ISRAEL.According to Jeremiah 31:31-32, God said he was “an husband” to Israel. In Jeremiah 3:8-10 and Isaiah 50:1, God states that he was married to Israel, and gave Israel a bill of divorcement, because Israel committed adultery. WE ARE CHRISTS BRIDE NOW, A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, THOSE WHO ARE CIRCUMSISED IN THE HEART, COLOS 2:11.WE NOW AWAIT THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB, OUR GROOM CHRIST.AND WE COULD SAY THAT WE ALREADY EAT WITH HIM AND HIM WITH US, AS WE HAVE OPENED THE DOOR, SPIRITUAL FOOD AND DRINK.. LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS RCSCROLL. |
