Trumpet Ministries The Bride of the Lamb
Back to FIFTY-TWO KINGDOM TOPICS
No aspect of the Kingdom of God is more important than the marriage of the Lamb. The Word of God, the Christ, the Anointed Lord, has never before had a complement, a helper suited to Him.
The story of Adam and Eve is an allegory, as well as being an actual event. It is revealing to us that God has determined His Son will no longer be alone but will have someone with whom He can communicate and who will reveal His Glory in the creation of God.
The account of Adam and Eve tells us much about the relationship of the Lamb and His Wife. We often refer to the "Bride of Christ." But the Scripture refers to the "Bride of the Lamb." This is because we eat the Lamb. We are made one with the Lamb by eating Him.
Christ is the Passover Lamb. The important aspect of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt was not that of the escape of human beings from physical slavery. The Centerpiece of the exodus is the Passover Lamb. The Jews left the slavery of Egypt and put on the chains of slavery to demons. But whoever eats the Passover Lamb and lives by Him is forever free from slavery.
The only free individual is the one who is the slave of Jesus Christ, as the Icelandic poet, Halgrímur Pétursson, maintained.
"He called their name Adam." So it is true that marriage to the Lamb is such total union with the Lamb that their name is the Lamb, so to speak. Those who live by the body and blood of the Lamb are totally, eternally one in Christ in God.
Eve was Adam in another form. Every part of Eve was formed from Adam. There was nothing of Eve that was not Adam.
Adam's first remark upon awakening was: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called ‘woman' because she was taken out of man."
There are no "queens" of the Kingdom of God. This is because a queen is not the same person of the king and can, in fact, be hostile toward him. She is a separate person with a will of her own.
The various Christian organizations may view themselves as "queens," but they are queens of Babylon, not of the Kingdom of God. We are not separate from Christ, if we are the Wife of the Lamb. We forever are an integral part of the Lamb.
When the slain Lamb appears in the sky, the "eagles" who live by eating His flesh and drinking His blood shall be caught up to be with Him forever. Correct doctrine will never raise anyone to meet Christ in the air. It is His body and blood in us that will raise us.
We must gain a glimpse of the nature and power of the love that motivates the Lamb in His dealings with His Church. The intensity of the Divine love will change our understanding of the new covenant, particularly the Communion service. The Song of Solomon will become real to us.
Then we will understand all of our religious doings are only the necessary scaffolding of the building. When we are ready to come up out of the wilderness leaning on our beloved, the scaffolding will be swept away and we forever will be an integral part of His Personality. There is no temple in the new Jerusalem for the entire city is the throne of God and of the Lamb.
The holy city is the glorified Church, the wife of the Lamb.
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. (Genesis 5:2)
That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so the world may believe you have sent me. (John 17:21)
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25)
After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— (Ephesians 5:29)
