Does anyone think weather we are male or female one day we shall all be both ? ( that is to know both motherhood and fatherhood).We all contend with each other whether male or female in this life it seems just to me that any pride of the flesh would be dissolved including gender as well as any ethnic pride or personal achievements and fleshly sentimentalities.Can't wait for that day.

Here are a few verses that sprung to mind when reading gallenwalsh's question;

1Co 15:46  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Isa 62:5  For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

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 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.

Keeping in mind;

Ecc 1:9  The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Not saying this is the complete answer by any stretch, only that this is what came to (my) mind...

Peace friends... old & new,

Joe

Well hello Joe, so glad to see you posting again  :)

I think I see what you are saying, there is first a physical shadow of the spiritual. So now we have the man and woman and marriage as a shadow of Christ and the bride and their marriage at the first resurrection. That is a very prominent and beautiful representation, as the Scriptures you provided show. That had slipped my mind, thanks for bringing that into the discussion.

mercy, peace and love
