As I previously showed, the one in the Bible who is the “the first and the last” , the one in the OT who is called Jehovah and in the NT Jesus, this being can only have one wife.

there is only one shepherd and one flock.

Jeremiah 32:38 “ and they shall be my people and I will be their God”
1 Peter 2:9 “but you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of out of darkness into his marvelous light”

the question is a very disturbing one to orthodox Christians as it seems to imply that Jesus Christ is not Jehovah God. I hope that is not what you are saying, but this is the craziness and heresy that those who follow the 19th century tradition of men ( Darby, so I guess “man” )called dispensationalism get into.
if there is any doubt, Jesus Christ is Jehovah God.

Does your Bible have a bunch of redacted sections in it? When you read all those passages that have already been shown to you where Almighty God refers to the nation of Israel as his "wife", that He was in a covenant "marriage" with her, that she committed adultery by going after strange gods, that He gave her a bill of divorce, but would one day draw her back to reconciliation and be reunited and she would be His again, do you just black out all those passages???

You continue to avoid answering the REAL question because it doesn't jibe with your "theology". It has NOTHING to do with Jesus not being Jehovah incarnate - which I completely believe He is - it is about God's relationship with the ORIGINAL chosen people - those He has never forsaken and WILL fulfill His promises to. You can't seem to get your head around the Scriptural idea that Israel was the Wife of Jehovah (read the book of Hosea, for one) and that the "church" (NOT the Roman Catholic church, BTW) is the "Bride of Christ" and this in no way contradicts the deity of Jesus Christ.

Catholics believe that Mary was the "mother of God", the "daughter of the Father" and the "spouse of the Holy Spirit", do you deny this? If a human woman can be three different things to the ONE God, why do you reject that the Father has a wife and the Son has a bride? This is the very conundrum you Amillennialists run into because you simply cannot stuff all that you imagine has to happen into the WHOLE of Scripture and the plans GOD has preordained will happen. You have walked into a trap of your own making. Get out while you can!
