Bride symbol

The bride is a symbol. Paul, being aware that God had called Israel his bride, continues to use the same symbolism as he teaches. [1]

Those who are taught by Christ are his 'bride'. [2] 'Bride' or 'spouse' is kallah כלה [3]; see the lamed ל in it? 'The Son off God כ taught ל he one who did not understand ה.
The 'bride' is those whose lives have been changed by revelation, and are known as 'Israel' ישראל, or 'man joined to God by revelation'.
  1. Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
  2. 1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
  3. So 4:9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
