Where in the bible did it say that?Is It True That When Jesus Returns He Will Receive His Bride Also?
Yes. The Church is his Bride.
The imagery and symbolism of marriage is applied to Christ and the body of believers known as the church. These are those who have trusted in Jesus Christ as their personal savior and have received eternal life. In the New Testament, Christ, the Bridegroom, has sacrificially and lovingly chosen the church to be His bride (Ephesians 5:25-27). Just as there was a betrothal period in biblical times during which the bride and groom were separated until the wedding, so is the bride of Christ separate from her Bridegroom during the church age. Her responsibility during the betrothal period is to be faithful to Him (2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:24). At the Second Coming of Christ, the church will be united with the Bridegroom, the official ';wedding ceremony'; will take place and, with it, the eternal union of Christ and His bride will be actualized (Revelation 19:7-9; 21:1-2).
At that time, all believers will inhabit the heavenly city known as New Jerusalem, also called “the holy city” in Revelation 21:2 and 10. The New Jerusalem is not the church, but it takes on the church’s characteristics. In his vision of the end of the age, the Apostle John sees the city coming down from heaven adorned “as a bride,” meaning that the inhabitants of the city, the redeemed of the Lord, will be holy and pure, wearing white garments of holiness and righteousness. Some have misinterpreted verse 9 to mean the holy city is the bride of Christ, but that cannot be because Christ died for His people, not for a city. The city is called the bride because it encompasses all who are the bride, just as all the students of a school are sometimes called “the school.”
As believers in Jesus Christ, we who are the bride of Christ wait with great anticipation for the day when we will be united with our Bridegroom. Until then, we remain faithful to Him and say with all the redeemed of the Lord, “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20).
-Till He Returns
God BlessIs It True That When Jesus Returns He Will Receive His Bride Also?
His people are His bride. first He will come in secret to take them to seclusion (the marriage of the Lamb/ midnight cry/ rapture) then at His glorious appearing He will come with His bride displayed... we will be glorified in Him and the world will see.
Song of solomon 2:13 Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
Zechariah 14:5 and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the bright ones shall withdraw themselves: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
The bride of Christ is the Church. Here is the scripture and some commentary to support this.
Revelations 7Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
8Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.'; (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
In Heaven, John sees, as recorded in Revelation 19:7-8, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb as it takes place between the Bridegroom, Jesus, and His Bride, the Church. Since the Bride is in attendance at the wedding, we know the Bridegroom, Christ, has come to earth for His Bride. In the same manner John was told to ';come up hither'; in Revelation 4:1, the Church has been Raptured!
Shenanigans!
You wouldn't know to ask this if you didn't know that this was in the Bible. Where are you going with all of these questions? If you are looking to evangelize, there are other websites for that.
His bride is the Church.
Find the marriage supper of the Lamb in the book of Revelation.
the bride of Christ means the church or those who follow him ie those who have accepted him into their lives and know him. it is not a single person but a huge congregation.
I don't think it is true. If it is true, I hope Christians are looking forward to Jesus' same-sex civil union.
Christians are his bride. It's symbolism. Read The New Testament.
Oh, that'll be cute. I hope they televise it...
*rolls eyes*
