Christ bringing the Bride home

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

I often think about the great commission that Paul had in bringing the good news of Christ to the gentiles. His mind was so full of the ordinances in the history of his people, yet he had to set them aside to adjust to his hearers. His job was to fill in the blank of Mars hill monument to the unknown God to make Jesus of Nazareth known to them Acts 17:16 to the end of the chapter. How difficult that must have been for him that it took 14 years for him to set about it in a way acceptable to the Jewish Christian leaders Galatians 2:1-2

Except for in the book of Hebrews there is not much mention of the outline of the tabernacle in the desert which I believe to be an outline of Christ Himself. But I saw it from the book of Song of Songs today as "who is this coming out of the wilderness leaning on her beloved" Song of Solomon 8:5. From the distance all that could be seen of the tabernacle was fine white linen just as the bride of Christ wears at the marriage supper Revelation 19:7-8 So we see the bride coming out of the wilderness leaning on her beloved ready for the marriage. But how did she get there? Christ brought her there. But we have to look inside the workings of the wilderness tabernacle to see this.

The first thing seen upon entering the tabernacle is lots of brass, which stands for judgement. The brass altar of sacrifice, the brass lavar to wash made from the women's mirrors. we will stay in this outer court while we remember what the sacrifice of Christ Jesus accomplished. That can be found in the book of Hebrews. His blood was sacrificed (for the bride) and He Himself brought it into the Holy of Holies to cover the mercy seat (for the bride) The first sacrifice declared "it is finished" the bringing in the blood caused Him to sit, now waiting for death to be abolished so that the 2 that are now 1 will live together in the New Jerusalem prepared.

Blessed are those invited to the marriage supper, those who are being formed as living stones to become a spiritual tabernacle.

The Bride of Christ sounds kinda Catholic, if you ask me. Are you Catholic also? I am, and have been since 2022, even though I do not agree with everything the Pope has to say.

Well brass is an alloy where "the two become one" but what are the two is it not the created world and the uncreated? Are they not already united into one? Does not God rule everything? Of course he does, but in the minds of men, he does not, so there is two. And is it not so, that he who does not believe, is judged already?

"On earth as it is in heaven" means oneness. A fact of life not something that is to come.

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

Oneness!

I guess you have an address from which you quote this line?

 

[jonojim1337]

Isaiah 45:7

Isaiah 45:7

Did you intentionally misquote this verse. My Paleo-Hebrew Names version does not say evil.

No I'm not Catholic.

I refer mainly to Christ and the Church as the Bride signified by many verses one being in Ephesians 5:25-27 where the mystery is unfolded of marriage being upheld in Him. 2 Corinthians 11:2 has Paul saying that he betrothed us to one Husband, as a pure virgin in Christ. John 3:29 Jesus says the one who has the bride is the bridegroom.
From the old testament God has said your maker is your Husband Isaiah 54:5
Ephesians 5:32 says the mystery is profound.

This is another mystery unfolded in the New Testament beside that of Mark 10:8-12 referring again to marriage. Referring to the Jews and Gentiles becoming one Ephesians 2:11-13 verse 14 says He is our shalom, the one who made two into one and broke down the middle wall of separation, within His flesh He made powerless the hostility. His flesh is signified by the veil torn in two giving boldness to enter in.

Catholics have a similar belief. Goes to show how the Bible goes beyond denominations, and applies to all Christians.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Where to find 3 mysteries explained.

) the mystery of the body of Christ Ephesians 3
) the mystery of the indwelling of the Spirit Colossians 1, Romans 8, Ephesians 1
) the mystery of the Bride of Christ Ephesians 5

This is the King James. I like this rendition.

The KJV is a good version if you want to go to the trouble of devolving the English Language to the 16th century or so. Yahova does not create evil as we know evil today.

17th century, as the KJV was published in 1611. I use the NIV (published late 20th century) and ESV (published 2016).

That's not the oneness referred to in this thread. It's about the return of the bride to that which is the plan of God to fulfill His purpose. God doesn't create moral evil. Evil arises from human choices. Other translations say disaster, calamities etc. like what happened when His people refused to repent Jeremiah 18:17 for instance to accomplish His purpose and our ultimate good.

I just wanted to note that the NKJV of Isaiah 45:7 which comes up when you hover over the verse says calamities also. Anyway, I guess that's getting off-topic ....

MARRIAGE is the unity of two becoming one. I don't know what "return" you are talking about. There is a marriage and we are invited.

To me all the translations say the exact same thing. Everyone's fate is in God's hands.

The return is God to mankind which was lost at the fall. The last Adam bringing the church that is in Him home.

Are you talking about the First Resurrection? This is not the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.
