Marriage doctrine

Marriage doctrine

The Hebrew word for marriage is 'laqach' לקח. ^[1] But it also means 'doctrine' or learning'. ^{[2] [3]}

Israel means 'man joined to God by revelation'. Israel was called the wife of God. And now the word for marriage means that the wife is taught by God. ^[4]

Without knowing any Hebrew, you can know that whenever you see the lamed ל in a word, it has something to do with teaching. 'Laqach' לקח means 'taught ל the cross ק for life ח. The bride are those who are taught by Christ; they are Israel.
