Jesus alludes many times to a symbolic term "bridegroom". I've always been curious as to what it meant. But never made an effort to figure it out, or deduce it meaning. Would anyone care to share their own personal insight or understanding as to what the term means? Or how it fits into the overall methodology of the New Testament?
Offhand I remember that Jesus mades references to a bridegroom and bride. But also mentions that they do not have male or female genders in heaven. Which could further complicate things. There is also a verse in revelation which says the bride and bridegroom will no longer be found in the whore of babylon. So it seems that we could have something of a riddle on our hands in attempting to decipher exactly what that means.
While I have seen many try to tackle some of the easier questions and puzzles of the bible. Its not often that I see attempts made to tackle some of the harder or more difficult problems. Which is a shame as the learning experience and knowledge a person can gain in trying to answer some of the questions could be well worth the pursuit.
