Bible Question:
Scripture ... Revelation 21:9-10 ............... "Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will SHOW you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and SHOWED me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God" ... emphasis mine ... show - showed. Does this passage say Jerusalem is the "bride, the wife of the Lamb" ? |
Bible Answer: The Church is the New Jerusalem. When we become members of the Church, we become citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem. Through our worship, prayers, and works in Christ we participate in the heavenly life. Similarly we refer to "Church" simultaneously as the structure and the people who are in the structure. So it is with the Bride, the Church, the New Jerusalem Phil 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; Emmaus |
