Nowhere in the Bible can you find directly showing that the Church is the Bride.
Even though we have this truth, some will continue to defend their unsupported belief and contend.
Why?
Maybe because some holds the doctrine about the timing of the rapture and their teaching was based on the story of the Jewish wedding and the Bride.
Would you choose a story in place of the truth?
Having said that,
Can a man be married to his work?
A figure of speech, not because the man’s wife is his work, but because the man is always at work or addicted to work or the Man work too much...etc.
Applying the same figure of speech:
I can also say that the Church is espoused to Christ not because it is the Bride or the husband, but because the Church is his body and they are one.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
This is about living with each other and becoming one.
At the marriage the Head and the Body shall become one and his children shall marry the New Jerusalem (the Bride)
From the very beginning that was the purpose...God dwelling with his people and this will be fulfilled.
Rev 21:3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
