Really? Because YHWH said that He was wed to Israel, and divorced her, but said He would wed her again.
Let's see that so we can check it out.
Now, I realize the church is compared to being a bride, that this simile is used in several places, but the church is never actually said to be the bride, while Israel is.
The NT Israel is the bride and the church and the body of Christ. There is no separation.
Christians (the Church) are the bride/wife:
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but
I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Here we are told plainly that the example of a man and his wife being of one flesh is about Christ and the church.
Rom 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ;
that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God
Here again it is Christians that will marry Christ who was raised from the dead.
2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for
I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Spoken to Christians, the church, being presented as Virgins in a spiritual sense.
The church is given a specific identification as the Body of Christ, not the bride, while still being compared to a bride.
The church is the bride and will be the wife.
