The Bride of Christ
ARisingSon:
Hello Everyone,
I've tried researching this but get no where. Does Ray have specific teachings as to the identity of the Bride of Christ?
I'm reading a writing by a Concordant Publishing author which apparently teaches that the Bride is to be the regenerated Israelites during the Millennium period. This being based on the marriage of Israel to Yahweh in the Old Covenant.
All help will be appreciated. Grace be with you. ARisingSon
Dave in Tenn:
I'd suggest a reading of:
http://bible-truths.com/rapture.htm
added with the knowledge that much of what Ray refutes in the paper is eschatological theory by "Concordant Publishing" Author(s).
Maybe that's a start.

I think the word addresses it.
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.
Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Obviously this is symbolic language (Rev 1:1) and not literal the way orthodoxy interprets it but the answer is here.

And to add on to Arion's & Mark's post:
1 Cor 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ
