The term “wife (bride) of the Lamb” mentioned in Revelation 19 and 22 signifies Heavenly Mother. While some argue that it represents the church (saints), they only cite verses where the church (saints) is compared to the wife of Christ.<\/p>\n
\nWives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church . . . Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.\nEph 5:22\u201325<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nI am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.\n2 Co 11:2<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Indeed, while it is true that the wife of Christ mentioned in these verses refers to the church, it doesn’t necessarily imply that the wife of the Lamb in the book of Revelation chapters 19 and 22 also signifies the church (saints). In the Bible, the “wife of the Lamb” carries two distinct meanings, thus requiring careful examination of the context.<\/p>\n
Two Meanings of the \u2018Lamb\u2019<\/h2>\n
In the Bible, a word often has two meanings. One example of this dual meaning is found in the symbolism of the word \u201clamb\u201d in the Bible.<\/p>\n
\nWhen they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, \u201cSimon son of John, do you love me more than these?\u201d \u201cYes, Lord,\u201d he said, \u201cyou know that I love you.\u201d Jesus said, \u201cFeed my lambs.\u201d\nJn 21:15<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The \u201clamb\u201d referred to here represents the saints. However, in the following verse, the term “Lamb” does not denote the saints:<\/p>\n
\nThe next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, \u201cLook, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!\u201d\nJn 1:29<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The term “Lamb” here signifies Jesus. However, can we argue that the “Lamb” in this context also refers to the saints, not Jesus, simply because the term “lambs” in another verse represents the saints? No, we cannot. Even though “lambs” in another verse symbolize the saints, the “Lamb” in John 1:29 unequivocally refers to Christ. Therefore, it is evident that the same term “lamb” carries different meanings, depending on the context.<\/p>\n
Two Meanings of the \u2018Wife of the Lamb\u2019<\/h2>\n
Similarly, the expression “wife of the Lamb” carries different meanings, depending on the context in the Bible. While in Ephesians 5 and 2 Corinthians 11, the term “wife of Christ” can indeed refer to the church (saints), it does not signify the church (saints) in the following verse.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLet us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.\u201d . . . Then the angel said to me, \u201cWrite this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!\u201d\nRev 19:7\u20139<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nThe Spirit and the bride say, \u201cCome!\u201d And let the one who hears say, \u201cCome!\u201d Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.\nRev 22:17<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
According to Revelation 19 and 22, the Lamb and His bride (wife) host a wedding banquet and offer the blessing of the water of life to the invited guests. Here, “those who are invited” are the saints who receive the water of life as guests at the wedding banquet. The wife of the Lamb symbolizes the Savior who bestows the water of life. Therefore, the wife of the Lamb cannot be a saint. The Bible explicitly states that the wife of the Lamb exclusively represents Heavenly Mother, the Savior (Rev 21:9; Gal 4:26).<\/p>\n
In the Bible, words often have multiple meanings. Therefore, if we focus solely on one meaning without considering the context, we risk distorting the Bible and misinterpreting the will of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The term “wife (bride) of the Lamb” mentioned in Revelation 19 and 22 signifies Heavenly Mother.
