[dan p]

Hi to all , and there are many believers that say the we " are the Bride of Christ " !!

In Jer 3:8 , Christ Divorces Israel !!

Then as I have pointed out , Believers say , that we are to be Married to Christ ??

How can these be Reconciled ??

Is God breaking 1 Cor 7:10 !!

I see a difference between Israel ans the Body of Christ , Num 23:9 !!

Was 't that why John the Baptize was sent , to get Israel back , Acts 3:19 and 20 ??

Romans 11 makes clear that Israel was blinded, in part, until the full number of gentiles comes in. So, the body of Christ is both Jews and Gentiles.

Revelation 7 makes clear that a remnant of Israel will be sealed on earth when the body of Christ is gathered to heaven.

During the millennium, the body of Christ rules and reigns over the earth and there will be an earthly temple (Ezek 40-48) and people will come to Jerusalem to honor and worship God (Zech 14). God's kingdom on earth will be established from Israel.

At the end of the millennium, there is a final resurrection of everyone else (besides the body of Christ) that has ever lived (good and evil). They are immortal and in their immortal bodies, they will either be thrown into the lake of fire or live forever on the earth that Jesus regenerated/established during the millennium.

So while there is a difference between Israel and the body of Christ (Jews and Gentiles) now, that difference will no longer be a difference by the time everyone is immortal and living in a Paradise Earth with God dwelling among us. Everything is returning back to what Adam and Eve had and lost.

Hi , and I see, that in Eph 2:7 , that the Body of Christ will be shown through the Ages as trohpies of His Grace through out the Universe !!

Then Eph 1:10 will be the LAST Dispensation of Fulness of times !!

Actually, at present, "there is no difference" between Jew and Gentile. Today, He is the God of both and there is no respect of persons, Romans 3.

That same chapter - Romans 11 - declares in verse 7, "What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded."

Obviously Israel is presently blind and still in spiritual uncircumcision; the election of that nation under James, Cephas (Peter) and John, having died off in the 1st century.

Thus, today, as then, Israel having been announced already blind as a nation back then, a Jew can only come to "the salvation of God... sent unto the Gentiles," Acts 13:46, through the Apostle Paul's Gospel of the Uncircumcision, Romans 2: 24-29; Gal. 2:2, 7-9; as a member of just another lost nation: Israel.

This, "til the fulness of the Gentiles be come in," as you noted, at which point God begins to move toward removing national Israel's blindness at last, Romans 11:26, 27; Malachi 3 and 4; Matt 3.

God didnt actually physically marry anyone, there is no wedding ceremony in the Bible with God in it. It is a picture, a metaphor, a shadow. The picture of marriage in Ephesians 5 is also refered to as a mystery. But one day, there will be a literal marriage of Christ and the Church, and that will never end.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

Not everyone attending a wedding are the bride and groom.
The rest are friends. Christ's bride is Israel, expressed as a virgin, with all twelve tribes represented. God is remarrying Israel vicariously, through his son.

Matthew 22:12
And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?

John 3:29
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice:

Christian believers are not married to Christ , as you say, nor are they the bride of Christ as innumerable others say.

You can read the answer in Rev 21: 9-11 given in unmistakable language.

9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me[f] and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”[g] 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy[h] Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.

Believers are often referred to as the body of Christ in Paul's writings so, in areal sense, we believers have the same bride as Christ, Christ being the head.

I am most interested how you come to the conclusion it is Christ that divorces Israel.

Maybe you have the believers (Church) marrying Israel since you say the great city Jerusalem is descending from heaven. It can not be talking about what we now know as Jerusalem.

God the Father divorces Israel and will remarry Israel

Do you have some Scripture to back this up? I am not trying to be hard to please. I just want some Scripture to back your statement.

Good question. What is your idea? I think the 1000 year reign - millennium will be a desired utopia. But note it is limited and thus ends. What then?

Jer 3:8 http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Jer&c=3&t=KJV#8And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

 

[Interplanner]

You'll want to compare the material by Preston on the 'stoning and burning' of the harlot right before the wedding in the Rev. That is, the imagery of punishing the woman (the text calls her a woman as well as a prostitute, and he says it is used of a wayward priests wife) is about Israel/Jerusalem/Judaism in Rev 16-17 and is refering to its 'ride' on the beast (Rome) to use its power to stop the early church (seen all through Acts). But in the event of the destruction of Jerusalem, in AD 70, God punished her, and then the wedding of the true bride happens. If Preston is correct about 'woman' being a wayward wife, then the imagery is communicating a remarriage for the same reason that Jesus allowed to spouses; the only one in fact. Allowed, but didn't require.

The Church is the Bride. Israel is the friend of the Bridegroom. How is that going to change?

No scripture needed really. God's 'marriage' covenant with national Israel was the old covenant. Israel sinned and God divorced the whole nation (they tried, and failed, to purify themselves with the blood of animals). God, through Christ, will marry spiritual Israel, the church, whose conscience will be perfected through the indwelling Holy Spirit.
