The bride of Christ is NOT ...
1. Israel
2. Part or whole N.T. Church
3. The 144,000 Jews
4. the Tribulation Saints
5. Not any single person or group
6. Nor any denomination or groups of denominations
What is the BRIDE of Christ ?
1. Its the Great City Jerusalem see vs 2, 9-10
2. All redeemed will live in the city. See Heb 11: 10-16
3. The Earthly Church Jn 14: 1-3 ; Heb 13: 14
4. Every Christian is promised the city Rev 3: 12 ; Jn 14: 1-3 ; Heb 12: 23
5. The 144,000 Jews will be there. Rev 7: 1-8 ; 12: 5 ; 14: 1-5.
6. The Tribulation saints will be there. Rev 6: 9-11; 7: 9-17; 15: 2-4; 20 : 4-6.
Marriage of Christ Completed when the betrothed parties were legally in the position of a married couple and unfaithfulness in this period was adultery. Dt 22: 23; Mt 1: 19
The Marriage supper of the lamb in Rev 19 is simply the concluding ceremony, not the marriage contract entered into at conversion.
