Did yo forget about the New heaven and earth? That’s where the New Jerusalem will be and the future home of the redeemed.
Nope didn't forget...I said 'at that time', the time of the White Throne judgment which is not the judgement of Jesus Christ...The Earth is gone...Those being judged are just 'hanging out' up there somewhere in the universe...There wasn't any place for the judged to stand...They look down and see the sky, below them...
Read your Bible, friend. The Bride of Christ is never mentioned in the Bible...ever!
Yep...Just like the Trinity is never mentioned...
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
The Bride of Christ-
Marriage of the Lamb, his wife-
Close enough for me, I'll take it...
There is one reference to the Lamb’s bride in Revelation 9 and it does not refer to the church. It refers to the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. THAT is the Bride of Christ!
That's Rev. 21:9...
And as a side note, that Wedding takes place during the Tribulation...That great city whose colors are scarlet and purple gets destroyed...We are told:
Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.The bridegroom (God) and the bride (church) are missing from the Earth during the Tribulation...
Anyway,
There is one reference to the Lamb’s bride in Revelation 9 and it does not refer to the church. It refers to the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. THAT is the Bride of Christ!
It been popular lately, the new trend, for people to marry inanimate objects...One woman ever married herself...But I just can not imagine Jesus marrying an inanimate object; a city...
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
I suspect the reference is of the city AND the inhabitants of the city which we know are the BRIDE...Why???
Rev 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.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Here we have the Holy Spirt and the Bride talking...I don't think that's a city...
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And John saw the city, named New Jerusalem adorned AS a bride is adorned...The city is not adorned as THE bride...And when you read chapter 21 you will see that adornment...
