Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

"The Bride is God's wife, therefore God the Mother"

Matt 22:2
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king,
which made a marriage for his son,
They exclaim, "The Bride is God's wife, the wife of God the Father, therefore she is God the Mother."

If you think obsession with the "bloody moons" is fable-ous enough, listen to this "bloody bride" fable!

The folks from the Elohim Academy (Penang) told me their understanding of this passage: Rev 21:2 "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

The "bride adorned for her husband" is the wife of God, the wife of God the Father, therefore she is God the Mother! Then they turn to Gal 4:26 - "But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all" - as a proof text for their fable!

A whole lot of sound-bytes, completely void of sense, common sense!

Does Apostle Paul's warning about being turned unto fables mean something to you now?
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The Scriptures speak thus:

Eph 5:23-27
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.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
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.

Gal 4:26
"But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all"

Rev 12:1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

Who does this woman signify? God the Mother, the wife of God the Father?

Rev 21:2,9
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Who is the Lamb? And who is His wife? Who is that bride in heaven?
