In this message, Scott Mitchell examines one of the most fascinating prophetic themes in Scripture — the bride of Christ. The Bible presents three distinct pictures connected to the bride: believing Israel, the Church, and New Jerusalem. Far from contradicting one another, these types reveal God’s unfolding plan of redemption from prophecy to eternity.

This study walks through the Old Testament picture of Israel as an unfaithful wife, the mystery of the Church as the one new man in Christ, and the final revelation of New Jerusalem as the Lamb’s wife in Revelation 21. Along the way, Scott explains how these prophetic pictures fit together without replacing Israel or confusing God’s distinct programs revealed in Scripture.

From Hosea and Isaiah to Ephesians and Revelation, this lesson traces the thread of the Bridegroom through the entire Bible and points to the coming marriage supper of the Lamb.
