The Bride The Lambs Wife Or The Church At The Coming Of Christ

John received the Revelation from Jesus Christ in the late AD 60's and Jesus told him that the things he was about to show him must shortly come to pass. It is the position of this book that they have come to pass. John said, "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." Revelation 21:9 He saw something that was about to happen and has not been delayed into the future from our day as some purport.In this book Dr. Henry seeks to search the Scriptures and identify the bride, discover where she is now and learn what she will be doing for all eternity. The views presented in this book are from the paradigm of full preterism. For many years Dr. Henry followed the views of dispensational pre-millennialism, but had to change his mind after, like Apollos, he came to understand the way of God more perfectly. This book is an effort to show, by the scriptures, what the Bible reveals about the bride (the church), her relationship to Christ and the activity in which her members will be engaged while on this earth and when they join their Lord in that place He has prepared for them.Large amounts of Scripture are quoted in this book, as is true with all of Dr. Henry's books. He believes that men can make mistakes, but when God says something it is true. Paul said, "For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged." Romans 3:3-4 When the Apostle John was told, "Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife,"he was shown something that was about to happen in his day and has not been delayed into the future from our day, as some purport.In this book Dr. Henry seeks to search the Scriptures and identify the bride, discover where she is now and learn what she will be doing for all eternity. For many years Dr. Henry followed the views of dispensational pre-millennialism, but had to change his mind after, like Apollos, he came to understand the way of God more perfectly.

This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional.

SMITH WIGGLESWORTH *Let us be careful that we do not in any way defile the BODY because GOD is chastening the BODY and fitly framing it and bringing it together. The BRIDE of CHRIST will rise. You ask, "How will it rise?" It will rise in millions, and billions and trillions, more than any man can number. It will be a perfect BRIDE.*Oh, the BRIDE appearing as one BRIDE! The same joy, the same peace, the same hope! No division, all one in CHRIST! What a BRIDE! Who can make a BRIDE like that? It seems to me that this BRIDE is made deep in the cross. *The Word is "His Voice," and, as we get nearer to JESUS, we understand the principles of His mission; that He came to take out for Himself a people that they might be called "His Bride." He came to find "a BRIDE." GOD's message to us to-night is that He is going to take out of His Body a Bride unto Himself, and so I believe that while we talk about salvation there are deeper truths that GOD wants to show us. * The plan of the CHURCH (The BRIDE) was that everything, even of the natural order, must be sanctified unto GOD, for the CHURCH (The BRIDE) had to be a HOLY GHOST CHURCH (The BRIDE). Beloved, God has never ordained anything less! *Thought for today: When we think that the CHURCH (The BRIDE) is poor and needy, we forget that the spirit of intercession can unlock every blessing in Heaven.*" Let us not forget that possessing the Baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT, means there must be an "ever-increasing" holiness. How the CHURCH (The BRIDE) needs divine unction-GOD's presence and power so manifested that the world will know it is GOD in us. "* Do not forget that GOD means for us to be very faithful to the CHURCH (The BRIDE) so that we do not allow anything to come into the CHURCH (The BRIDE) to break up the BRIDE. You cannot find anything in the BRIDE in its relation to CHRIST that has schism in it. CHRIST's life in the BRIDE--there is not schism in that. When CHRIST's life comes into the CHURCH (The BRIDE), there will be no discord; there will be a perfect blending of heart and hand, and it will be lovely. Endeavor "to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." *Bring unity in the bonds of perfection so that the CHURCH (The BRIDE) of GOD will receive edification. Then the CHURCH (The BRIDE) will begin to be built up in the faith, and the establishing of the truth, and believers will be one. There is one BRIDE. Recognize that fact. When schism comes into the BRIDE, believers must never act as though there is more than one BRIDE. * If you want a CHURCH (The BRIDE) full of life you must have one in which the Spirit of God is manifested. And in order to keep the fire ignited from that blessed incarnation of the Spirit, you must be as simple as babies; you must be as harmless as doves and as wise as serpents (Matthew 10:16).*The moment you are born of GOD, you are in the family, and you are in the BRIDE, as He is in the BRIDE, and you are in the BRIDE collectively and particularly. After you come into the BRIDE, then the BRIDE has to receive the sealing of the promise, or the fulfillment of the promise, that CHRIST will be in you, reigning in you mightily.

As seen on EWTN, bestselling author Scott Hahn unveils the mysteries of the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals. Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." The Lamb’s Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before.

Warning: Do not read this book if you are not willing to be changed by the Lord! This book uncovers the hidden truth of the preparation of the bride of Christ. The message in this book is to help the Christian see some of the necessary elements the Lord uses in preparation for the marriage. This teaching is based on Ephesians 5:27: "That He [Jesus] might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle," as well as other places in the Bible where this truth is concealed. If this teaching is received, the heart of the individual Christian will be open to the Lord enabling him to enter the process of preparation, which is necessary for the union with Jesus Christ. "I know it is the earnest desire of the author that, as you read this book, you would find that pearl of great value that remains hidden until found by a seeking and hungry heart." -James Parnell Teacher at Cornerstone Bible Center

Right from the very beginning in eternity past, God had planned history with His Son having a bride, a companion that would co-reign with Him and enjoy Him forever. That is the eternal purpose of God in creating a bride for His Son. If you read the Scripture from cover to cover, you would discover that God teaches us in a variety of different ways. Sometimes God uses powerful word pictures, sometimes He uses symbols, sometimes He uses examples of people both good and bad. Sometimes God uses a direct word, an authoritative word, sometimes He uses examples from nature, like a tree planted by the rivers of water that will not cease to bear fruit. This book highlights how God gave us an example of an ancient Jewish wedding ceremony that correlates with Christ, the Bridegroom, and His bride the church. From the father choosing a bride for his son, paying the bridal price, the bridegroom snatching his bride and bringing her to the bridal chamber, and then finally co-reigning with him in their household with him as the head. It is absolutely amazing the correlation between the two. What was a mystery to the Jews has been revealed. The mystery was that both Jew and Gentile called the church would be the bride of Christ. The bride of Christ is describing the kind of relationship we can have with Jesus. God is seeking willing lovers, who would voluntarily seek His heart, voluntarily surrender to Him, and voluntarily love Him with all their heart, soul and mind, and strength.
