Also you know how Eph. 4 talks about us being the body of Christ? How can the church be both the bride and the body? Hi Remnantrob, I so agree with you. The Body of Christ is the His body - how close a relationship. Israel is the bride & always has been in scripture. God said He is Israel`s husband & it is His wife. (symbolically) He has betrothed them to Himself forever. Because they rebelled from Him, He `divorced` them & will `marry` them again when the Lord returns to deliver Israel. Note the wedding supper is on earth as a man comes in without a wedding garment. That could not happen in heaven.(Matt. 22: 11) That is the `bride` purpose in time. However that symbol `bride` is again used for an eternal purpose - the New Jerusalem where those of Heb. 11 are looking for this city whose builder & Maker is God. You will notice at the end of the great chapter that the Body of Christ, us, have a different purpose. `God having provided some better thing for us,...`(Heb. 11: 40) regards, Marilyn.

That could not happen in heaven.(Matt. 22: 11) That makes sense, the special food Jesus is taulking is not food for the stomach, but something of a spiritual guidance, that the person wanted to know that only Jesus can give. While here on earth we need to have this specific guidance, as he also said, abide in the vine, do not look for love in so many places, look to Jesus, ask him to let you desern his voice, and he can guide you one on one, we have to learn no to give our own spin to what he is telling us, but wait, to see how he is going to follow up, then only then , we can compare our own perception and reflexion ,with what he is trying to convey to us. While here on earth we need this special encounter with Jesus, to help us while we are still here, and feel that he cares. We see that he said , only to those, he did not say to all, and if only to those and that at the appointed time. He also said that there is a special banquet for those who keep them selves clean, but also I have seen many who keep them selves clean, and their mind is not very sound, they can not see their distortions, they have come to believe that keeping one's self clean, automatic gives a sound mind, and a perfect discerment .
