Bride of Christ - who is She?

i suggest you read, study and pray the Gospel of John ( even if you have 100x already) - do it again and take notes on everything that speaks of and pertains to marriage - as it was during the days the Lord walked this earth.
PEACE

The Restoration of the Jews are not in Revelation 14

The Jews get their judgment first = Day of Jacob's Trouble where two thirds perish - Zechariah 13

And in all the land,
declares the LORD,
two-thirds will be cut off and perish,
but a third will be left in it.
9This third I will bring through the fire;
I will refine them like silver
and test them like gold.
They will call on My name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘They are My people,’
and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’ ”

This occurs just prior to His Second Coming - Matthews 23

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling! Look, your house is left to you desolate.
For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

Repent and Return to the Fear of God and being obedient to His words.

Every word of God is flawless;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words,
lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6

Yes lots of scriptures talking about a `wife, a bride,` but NO, absolutely NO scripture saying that `the Church is the bride ,` or even a scripture saying `Bride of Christ.`

So you wish to have a textbook answer otherwise you will not believe anything. But that is a rather stupid approach since there is the Marriage of the Lamb in Revelation 19. So now you will turn around and say "Oh, but it does not say "Jesus the Lamb", therefore it could be some other lamb!" Do you see how ludicrous that thinking is?

Now if the Marriage of the Lamb is in Heaven, who do you suppose the Bride is who will shortly become the Lamb's Wife?

Yes we know that the Lord `was led a a lamb to the slaughter.` (Isa. 53: 7) However the title `the Lamb,` (of God) refers to Israel`s sacrifices especially the Passover. It is a title in relation to ISRAEL.

BTW remember that there is NO marriages in heaven.

`For when they rise from the dead their NEITHER MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE, but are like the angels in heaven.` (Mark 12: 25)

To those who think they are the `bride.` I don`t want to offend however I think you need a reality check.

Christian men are being deluded into thinking they are now or in the future, being changed to women, and that they will marry Jesus. And because there are so many that would be a harem. And how would they consummate that marriage, as say Adam & Eve whom I am told this picture is like.

That is transgender and polygamy. In case you think well that is `spiritual,` the Mormons believe they can have many `spiritual wives.` Then also the Catholics believe that the nuns are the brides of Christ, the Muslims believe they can have 100 virgins if they are martyred, and now some Christians are saying the men are women and will marry Jesus.

This is NOT wisdom from above, but earthly, sensual, demonic. ( James 3: 15)

And, David, to WHOM is the Lord talking to?

Yeah
Who woudda thought Jews gathered out of every tribe had anything at all to do with jews?

More BALONEY from DT.

Yes we know that the Lord `was led a a lamb to the slaughter.` (Isa. 53: 7) However the title `the Lamb,` (of God) refers to Israel`s sacrifices especially the Passover. It is a title in relation to ISRAEL.

So to all the men here who are thinking they are the `bride of Christ,` do you see yourself as in a white wedding gown waiting to marry the Lord?

That to me is very strange. I don`t understand men thinking they are to be female/bride. And I don`t understand why you would think Jesus wants a bride of billions of people.

Jesus is the Lamb of God, our Passover—yes—our one and only way to a covenant relationship with our Father.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!…. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!"

- John 1:29,36 (NKJV)

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"

- Revelation 5:11-12 (NKJV)

Our betrothal to the Lamb is something Jesus Himself desired and prayed for. He wanted a covenant relationship (a marriage) with us that would last forever and a faithful bride (the church, the collective group of true believers, united in Him) that He could proudly bring before the Father:

"I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: "I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. "O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. "And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

- John 17:20-26 (NKJV)

The word Passover comes from God`s feast day for Israel. Jesus is our Passover, however the term and title Lamb are to do with Israel.

John spoke about the Lamb, for he was talking to the people of Israel saying this is the fulfillment of what you have been rehearsing for centuries.

The Body of Christ does not have a covenant relationship with the Lord, WE ARE HIS BODY.

There is NO scripture saying that we the BODY are the bride! It is a symbol for Israel in time and in eternity.
