The second item of interest to this study is the name that is given to the Lord Jesus, where He is called The everlasting Father. Isa. 9:6 Being The everlasting Father would make Him to be the eternal Father. Not just the one who introduced eternal life to the world but one who will be a Father. Even as His Father was not a Father until the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus. So The Lord Jesus is destined to be the Father of the Man child. Is there any reason why the process used in bringing Christ into the world will not be repeated and the Man child be born of the one hundred forty four thousand virgins? They are the reproductive organ of the body of Christ. The scriptures show us that we have a body, with hands, feet, ears, eyes, nose and a head, the Lord Jesus.
1 Cor. 12:14-21 There are also parts of the body which are less honorable, weaker, uncomely, “the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty. 1 Cor 12:22-23 NIV. Modesty and decorum. AMP.
The spiritual, the eternal, the new Jerusalem is called a mother, the mother of us all. Gal. 4:26 We have a first Adam and his Eve. Therefore, we have a last Adam, Christ and His Eve, the church. We also note that Christ and His church are declared to be a Father and a Mother. Paul in speaking of the relationship between Christ and His church called it a great mystery. Eph. 5:32 The Lord desires to share His intentions by revealing His mysteries to His people. Eph. 3:3 Then there is that category of others, who while seeing, in all reality do not see. They read the words but do not comprehend. Hearing, yet unable to understand what they are hearing. Luke 8:10.
John the Baptist introduced himself as the friend of the Bridegroom thus making Christ the Bridegroom. From the very first of His ministry the title Bridegroom was upon Him. John 3:29 Paul, in his message to the church proclaimed the Bride to be a chaste virgin who was to be presented to Christ as His Bride. 2 Cor. 11:2 The first miracle of the Lord Jesus was when He turned water into wine at the wedding reception in Cana of Galilee. John 2:1-10 Six water pots used for purification speak to us of the six thousand years from Adam to the end of the age. Purification, cleansing from all sin and bondage’s. A perfect church. The time of the marriage of Christ. The water pots filled to the brim. The Divine fullness of the Lord inhabiting that perfect church. She is made to be like Him. She is ready. Rev. 19:7.
