They were all my questions. The only A.I. reference I used were the ones defining the Wife and Bride. In the meanwhile, I've done more research on the wife and the bride and this is what the Bible shows. My only question left for you at this point is how you view the current heaven & earth and the new heaven and earth and where the Millennial Kingdom will take place.

The Two Wives Made One — A Deeper Reading​

The Bible sets up two distinct covenantal marriages from the very beginning:

The Father's Bride — Israel

• Hosea 2:19 — "I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy."
• Isaiah 54:5 — "For your Maker is your husband— the LORD of hosts is his name, and the Holy One of Israel is he who is to be praised."
• Jeremiah 31:32 — "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
• Ezekiel 16:8 — "So I passed by you and looked upon you, behold, you were at the age for love. I spread the corner of my robe over you and covered your nakedness... and I betrothed you to myself and made a covenant with you, declares the Lord GOD, and you became mine."

The Son's Bride — the Church

• Ephesians 5:25-27 — "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her... that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish."
• 2 Corinthians 11:2 — "For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ."

Note the critical word in 2 Cor 11:2: "one husband." The Church is betrothed to a single bridegroom — the Son — not the Father. The Father's bride is Israel; the Son's bride is the Church. Two separate covenants, two separate marriages.

Isaiah 54:1-3 is the single most important passage for your point, and it's worth reading in full:

"Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song and cry aloud, you who have never been in labor; for more are the children of the desolate woman than of the she who has a husband, says the LORD. For your Maker is your husband— the LORD of hosts is his name, and the Holy One of Israel is he who is to be praised; he who repudiates will be called the Redeemer of Israel, the LORD is his name. For the LORD has called you as a wife despised and cast out, as a wife of youth when she is rejected, says your God. For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will gather you. In overflowing wrath for a moment I hid my face from you, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you, says the LORD your God. For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that Noah's waters shall no longer cover the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, or reproach you. For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the LORD who has compassion on you."

Read this carefully:

• The "desolate" / "barren" woman = Israel, temporarily set aside.
• The "married" woman = the Church, currently in her covenant-marriage with Christ.
• The prophecy says the barren woman will have more children than the married one — both will be fruitful.
• Then verse 5: "For your Maker is your husband" — the same God who is the Father's husband to Israel is speaking. He is not replacing one marriage with another. He is restoring the first and confirming the second.
• Verses 7-8: "with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you... my covenant of peace shall not be removed."

The Millennial Kingdom will be on this old earth after it's restored to a more pristine condition from all the pollution and corruptions through these centuries.

The New Earth will be created after the Millennium, upon which the bride will descend...not that Christ will marry an inanimate object like a city. It's the inhabitants of that city who will be the bride, which is Israel, given that it's the names of the twelve tribes that will be upon the gates and the names of the twelve Jewish apostles (which doesn't include Paul) upon the foundation stones. So, it's Israel who will inhabit that city and its dwelling places while the Gentile nations will reside all around that city and across the new earth.

No. This is not true. The body of Christ will dwell in the Heavenlies, as is stated in the scriptures:

Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Ephesians 2:6
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Many will dwell in the Heavenlies while many will dwell upon the new earth, with believing and faithful ancient Israel and the remnant that lived through the tribulation and the Millennium will populate the New Jerusalem.

So, you see the new heaven and new earth as being separate from each for eternity. That was really what I was wondering.

Yes, Israelites are the Father's Bride. It's funny that you made mention that he's not marrying a "city". While he's not marrying the city, it is important enough to Him to write it on His people. The name of the City has meaning.

Revelation 3:12 -

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
