This is a key question, and one that we should all be asking ourselves if we want to understand Jesus at all.how do the two become one flesh ?
how is Jesus both God and man having the nature of God and the nature of man, 2 natures ?
I believe it makes sense to see Jesus as a human being, not unlike any other, but one who had become one with God in the same way that we will become one with God in the new age. And I believe that the marriage of a man and woman serves as a symbol of what's to come, and specifically a symbol of the union that man will have with God.
Jesus is the first fruits because he was the first to experience that union and literally have God dwelling inside of him. This is why he spoke saying "I and the father are one" and even speaking as God himself saying "before Abraham was born, I am".
The first fruits refers to the first fruit of the harvest, and for God, we the people are his harvest. We are his inheritance and eventually we will all be harvest and be one with God, just as Jesus was.
