I don’t understand why the church today thinks that it is the literal bride of Christ. It is no more the bride of Christ than Eve or the tabernacle or the temple. These are all female images displaying eternal things unexposed to the carnal mind, unveiling the intimacies of the living God, His helper, another comforter, the one sent so we would not be orphans. To those who are born of the spirit.

If you have a view from above, a heavenly one, looking down on the tabernacle of meeting with the holies and most holy, or even the temple in Ezekiel, you see it is laid out like a human body taking on human form having the head facing east. The Holy of Holies being the mind and reason.

God called Israel His Son in Exodus 4.22. But Israel was not really Gods son but an image like Adam and Eve. The same with Solomon, meaning peace, (Shalome)and Jerusalem (Yeru-Shalome) meaning city of peace. Â These portray the King and His Bride. The male and female working together fully portray God being made “in His image and likeness made He them male and female”. This is what Adam, Israel and Solomon portrayed, but then expired by Jesus Christ who said, “he who has seen Me has seen the Father”.

As with the tabernacle so too with Jerusalem. The twelve tribes are positioned around the tabernacle or the city as if to protect her. To protect her, to cover her. She is hidden in them. Israel is the same picture as the body of Christ, the prophets were the eyes.

We know the prophets cried over the city Jerusalem and called her “mother”, but she was not really their mother any more than Israel was Gods Son. Israel and the kingdom are like Adam and Eve. Unlike with Adam who’s bride was taken out of his side, the city/bride, is hidden inside of Israel, from within ,portraying “In Christ”. And outsiders or foreigners were not to partake in the workings of the temple which are the invisible things of God.

Paul defined himself as a steward of these mysteries of God, to dispense to the elect of God, those in Christ, not Adam. These mysteries are the interpretation of the physical into the eternal spiritual counter part. This is what a prophet does. He is to make simple the eternal realities of God through pictures and patterns and visions. You see the Jewish leaders thought the temporary pictures were the real deal when Jesus said that He would re-build the temple in 3 days, they said that it took Solomon years to build. The Lord was never talking about the physical. The earthen pictures always refer to an eternal counterpart. Jesus was talking about His body, the invisible Kingdom.

Now I hate to break it to the church on earth but what we are is the same as was earthly Jerusalem, a temporary picture of the eternal realities of the Kingdom of God which are at hand, within grasp. If this were not true, why would Paul say of the body of Christ on earth that “prophesies will fail, tongues will cease, knowledge will vanish”, being temporary, but when that which is perfect has come then that which is in part will be done away with. That is right. Tongues and prophecies end with the understanding of what already was.

The church is a means to an end like all the other pictures and patterns given for us to understand God. And what is the purpose then of these things given in part? To hold us over until the illusive second coming? To keep us in a holding pattern til He comes to deliver us? Wake up! He already did that.

These things were given “til we come to a mature understanding, to bring us into the full stature and measure of Christ”. And if that is to happen to each one of us now, what are you standing around for? Know ye not the parable of the talents?

And of Paul again “I press on to lay a hold of why Christ laid hold of me. This is walking with God, to press on toward the upward call in Christ. As many as have this mind are mature.

The church like Israel, is a guardian or a tutor to bring us to faith, but after faith has come, or after you receive the eternal counter part, you are no longer subject to the repetitious cycle of the patterns. It brings you to the eternal invisible, ever ready kingdom of God. You are not at some train station waiting for a man named Jesus to come and save you. He already did that if you have an ounce of faith.

And of those who understand the spiritual counterpart? Galatians 6.16 As many as walk according to this rule, peace (Shalome) and mercy be upon them, (upon us) upon the Israel of God”

We speak what we hear and testify of what we see and man does not receive our testimony. If I tell you earthly things and you don’t understand, how can I tell you heavenly. They were never meant to be earthly, but to teach us eternal.

If we are not talking about the “Kingdom of God at hand” we may be like those who Christ said “you are neither entering the Kingdom nor are you allowing those who are trying to enter to do so. We may be found false stewards if we stop short of this one thing.

Behold I stand at the door and knock!
The Bride is in the Groom.
The Kingdom of God is at Hand!

She has no epidermis, but She is covered. Who is she?

Eve was brought out and clothed in flesh to be bone of bone, flesh of flesh and composition similar to her counterpart. This one that has no epidermis is she who was never brought out like Eve. She is not naked, she is not uncovered or covered with flesh, but fully covered in her Lord. Who is she? She is like Sarah was to Abraham.(Isaiah51.2) “Look to Abraham your father and Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone”. But was he alone?

He took Lot his nephew but later split up but was Abraham then alone? No. He had Sarah from the beginning She is his “hidden person of his heart” and who’s image is she?

1st Peter3.3 speaking of beauty he said “Let it not be the adorning gold, but the hidden person of the heart which is prescious in the sight of God, so we can’t see Her. Not only our heart but the Lords first. She is central to the gospel and the adorning of Him who is invisible.

As women is the Glory of man, and man and women resemble who’s image and likeness? So of this one, she is the Glory of God. That’s why “we are transitioned from the glory to the glory for She is His glory”.

In Adam it was said “thou art cursed from the earth” there is a contrast in the spirit of this one she is blessed above all creation. It is She who “comes down of Heaven from God”. She is Heavenly.

She it is who comes not from the earth to return to the earth, but she comes from above to return their with us as Her treasures.

In Genesis 1 she brooded on the face of the waters looking for a reflection. She then Hoovered over the waters of baptism to alight fresh and anew on you. She was seen as a cloud by day, fire by night, and cloven tongues of fire inside the camp with Moses.

It was she who descended on our Lord and received by Him in “bodily form” like a cookie cutter copy, matching Him in size and shape of Christ, being bone of His bone, form like a dove and covered by her Lord, installed in Him, totally protected and sanctified being in Him.

As Sarah abode in Abraham’s tent, it was this One who being in Christ tent/body. She said “Oh Jerusalem how I would have gathered you as a Mother hen gathers her chicks”. This was said not by Jesus but the Holy Spirit resident in Him, His hidden, protected counterpart and the person of His heart.

That is why Jesus said “We speak what We hear and testify to what We’ve seen”. Being plural, She was in Him and was not to be brought out and exposed like Eve from Adam. She is highly protected and regarded.

This is why Adam and Eve were said to be naked. They portrayed Them inside out by way of contrasts. Visible verse invisible, ashamed verse Glorified, weak verses strong. Adams inner parts were exposed and why he was called naked and needed covering so God make coverings for Adam and Eve’s private or secret parts. But Christ and His Bride are right side in, hidden and protected. This is why no one can enter except those who have the deal of God for She has sealed us as the redeemed.

They are clothed with each other, and because we are truly in Christ, we see His Glory, Her.

So she having never been exposed or defiled by the creation below, having never been adulterated by sinful eyes is this one Eve displayed likenesses, but only in contrasts.

As Eve and all women like her birth from inside out into the world, this one we are birthed into, NOT to come out crying of those like Eve. We go out with joy and are led forth with peace. This is why our Savior said “My peace I give you, not as the world gives, give I you” because She is strictly other worldly/Heavenly.

This is to be “in Christ” and born into the family of God. And of Eve, she could bring forth one or a few at most, but this other one, the comforter whom Jesus called His helper bringing to mind Adams helper. She is “the Mother of us all” of those who are born of the Spirit. These two are one with each other and compliment each other perfectly. These truths are known only from inside. These are family secrets. This is why the book of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ” finishes with His Bride. She is hidden in Him and part of Him as Sarah was in Abraham and Eve was in Adam before she was taken out as a rib. Eve was in Adam in the beginning as is the holy city “come down from God” is in Christ. She being of his kind, composition and make up is just as invisible and eternal as is He.

Our Lord was born King? She is “the Kingdom from (before) the foundations of the world” that He’s been King of who at His Inquisition said “you have rightly said I am King. However my Kingdom is not from here (meaning the world) or I could send uncountable legion of angels and they would fight, but My Kingdom is not from here”, meaning if time and matter.

These are the two who are one and accurately portray for us God in male and female, the two halves put back together in us that were divided in Adam. We are the New Creation, or the newly created as having these things refreshed in us. They become new in us. This is the completion of the gospel. The tare that started with Adam and Eve is mended in us and we are the restored, redeemed and made new, back to the beginning. This is the purpose of the gospel.

The message of Christ from the beginning was “The kingdom of God is at hand” and there is no Kingdom without the capitol city. She was and is and is to come. She is not in Samaria or Jerusalem, but in Christ. Those who are in Christ see Her here and are amazed. She is our marvel and the Glory of God, His hidden secret made known only to the Elect. Not made from dust but spirit and truth. That which is flesh is flesh and that which is spirit is spirit, ye must be born again? Yes, from above. She is the one who days, come up hither. And as flesh blood cannot inherit this kingdom of God which is at hand and neither can earthen brick and mortar. These things can portray likenesses of the kingdom but only in contrasts. They can never actually be holy.

The things In Christ are completely impenetrable from the cosmology of creation. Christ momentarily put on the cosmos taking on the same make up as Adam, but never was not God. Of Him and all that is His is not of this cosmology of creation and will never be. And She has to be similar in composition and design to qualify as being “bone of His bone, and flest of His flesh of glorious Spirit and Truth. He is the composition of no composites, the creation of the non- created. That is what Christ is, and everything that is in Him is of this make up of non-matter. There is no mixing Him with things of His creation of dust, no impurities, but holy, sanctified with no leaven in the place from where He had come now seated. In Him is no darkness at all. He is the true light from before it was said let there be light. He is the breath of life from before their was upper and lower firmaments or oxygen. He is the water of life before the seas were divided for dry land to appear. All these things only have faint resemblances of Him that truly is.

He can be seen , but not with your carnal eyes.

He can be heard, but not with your physical ears

He can be felt but not with your hands.

John 1.1 Modified, That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

2 For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;

3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us and Them: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ undivided, the new man with His helper inside.

4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

5 This then is the message which we have heard of THEM, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with THEM, and walk in darkness being unaware of these truths, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as He is the light and THEY are in the light, we have fellowship one with THEM and each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

This is the New Creation, crystal clear, all the residue of the ages wiped away for you. Wipe the sleep, the slumber and the Adamic dust from your eyes and behold, Heavenly Jerusalem, the only Kingdom that never wains or fades in Glory but is eternally forever new, the Bride and His Groom.

The Kingdom of God is at hand, in this way, opperational and activatable today. That’s why today is the day if salvation. Today the mend is fixed by this forever new understanding. Amen
