Jesus has a wife, what is so new about that?

Jer 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

God first divorced Israel and then saw that Judah did not fear.

Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.


Rev 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

Rev 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

Joh 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

Joh 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

Joh 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

Joh 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.


Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.


The new Jerusalem is the church, the wife of Jesus.



Just another subject to show the book of Revelation has all been fulfilled.

What about Jeremiah 3: 11-14??? Where God takes Israel back despite her unfaithfulness?

[sup]11 [/sup]The Lord said to me, “Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. [sup]12 [/sup]Go, proclaim this message toward the north:

“‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry forever.
[sup]13 [/sup]Only acknowledge your guilt—
you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
you have scattered your favors to foreign gods
under every spreading tree,
and have not obeyed me,’”
declares the Lord.
[sup]14 [/sup]“Return, faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband. I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion.

Yes! There are more verses after verse 8!

Hi biggandyy,

My point was to show that God had a wife, even in the old testament. Jesus did not forgive when they rejected him.

Let me also say that I know that all of Israel shall be saved, but this Israel is those of faith. They become apart of the new covenant just as all others have, by believing in Jesus.

This topic was posted because there is a professor who has found an ancient parchment stating that Jesus had a wife. The truth is that Jesus did have a wife but they are trying to make it seem as if it was a person instead of the church.

It is not about people in particular being the "wife" but rather that the "women" are the cities are the COVENANTS in these types of contexts and their shadows. The word translated generally as "married" (KJV) or "husband" from Jeremiah 3:14 is one of the forms of "ba`al" which can also be understood as "Master" or "Lord".

Jeremiah 3:3-14 RSV
3. Therefore the showers have been withheld, and the spring rain has not come; yet you have a harlot's brow,
["forehead" KJV] you refuse to be ashamed.
4. Have you not just now called to me,
'My father, thou art the friend of my youth--
5. will he be angry for ever, will he be indignant to the end?' Behold, you have spoken, but you have done all the evil that you could."
6. The Lord said to me in the days of King Josiah: "Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there played the harlot?
7. And I thought, 'After she has done all this she will return to me'; but she did not return, and her false sister Judah saw it.
8. She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce; yet her false sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the harlot.
9. Because harlotry was so light to her, she polluted the land, committing adultery with stone and tree.
10. Yet for all this her false sister Judah did not return to me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says the Lord."
11. And the Lord said to me, "Faithless Israel has shown herself less guilty than false Judah.
12. Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, 'Return, faithless Israel, says the Lord. I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, says the Lord; I will not be angry for ever.
13. Only acknowledge your guilt, that you rebelled against the Lord your God and scattered your favors among strangers under every green tree, and that you have not obeyed my voice, says the Lord.
14. Return, O faithless children, says the Lord;
for I am your master; [HSN#1166 ba`al] I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.


Isaiah 50:1 reveals that this concerns a "tale of two cities", ("Jerusalem of below" which is symbolic of the flesh and "Jerusalem of above" which is Spirit and supernal). It is fairly clear from the Isaiah passage that it was their "MOTHER" which was "put away".

Isaiah 50:1 KJV
1. Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.


And Jerusalem of above is our "mother" (Covenant) according to Paul in Galatians 4.
And the "two women" which are the cities are ALLEGORIES of the two Covenants.
Hagar is the Egyptian, (great of flesh) and an allegory of Mount Sinai and the Flesh.
Sarah is of the Spirit of the Promise and an allegory of Horeb the Mountain of God.

Galatians 4:22-29 KJV
22. For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24.
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
[Isaiah 54:1]
28. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.


Isaiah 54:1-4 KJV
1. Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
2.
Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3. For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4. Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.


And I can assure you that no one of you here is my spiritual "mother". My mother is adorned in blues, and purples, and scarlet, and fine linens, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, sweet incense, and precious onyx stones. And my bride is of the same; for she is of the daughters of Jerusalem of above like a fine white linen garment wherein is no wool, "Behold, a nqebah-female shall encompass a geber-warrior-man", and is this not also from a "New Covenant" passage? Oh to be clothed from on high! :)
