6. The Marriage, Divorce, & Re-Marriage of the LAMB

One of the most important themes which runs through the entire Bible is the Marriage of the Son of God. The Old Testament refers many times to Zion/Jerusalem & Israel as being “betrothed” to the Lord. The prophets declare her harlotry during this betrothal period, and emphasize that the Lord has divorced her for a time (as illustrated by her exile and the desolation of the Temple). Yet He promised to take her again as His wife in the coming Kingdom. The New Testament repeatedly quotes from these “re-marriage” prophecies, and applies them to the “marriage of the LAMB,” the bride being the renewed (New) Jerusalem with her inhabitants. The “New Covenant” is the second betrothal covenant made with the twelve tribes, “the house of Israel” and the “house of Judah” (as stated in Jer. 31:31-34 & Heb. 8:4-13). Unless the “Lamb” was also the “Husband” (under the Old Betrothal Covenant), then the Son would be guilty of incest by marrying His Father’s divorced wife, something that is an abomination to God in both Testaments. These facts indicate that the “Messenger of Yahweh” who appeared to Moses in the Burning Bush and on Mt. Sinai, who carried Israel in the wilderness and defeated her enemies, is the same Person as the “Lamb of God.” Therefore, the pre-human origin of the Son of God is absolutely required. He was “the Messenger of Yahweh,” the one Malachi 3:1 calls “the Messenger of the Covenant.” This is the "Lord" who was married to Zion. Audio mp3: https://www.4windsfellowships.net/bbi...
