Prologue
According to the story of Creation, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh
(Genesis 2:24). Traditionally, Jews call marriage sanctification,
because it involves a spiritual bonding in which a husband and his wife are perceived as one soul in two bodies.
The Disciples witnessed this divine precept in the person of Jesus, the Son of Man and God. Christ Jesus himself declared this sanctification during the Feast of Dedication, by saying, I and the Father are one
(John 10:30). In fact, God in Christ Jesus wants to apply this divine precept to all people. "Father, just as you are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us" (John 17:21). Our Savior wants to have such a relationship with everyone coming to God. This precept is the final state of our relationship with God.
The final state of ordinary human relationships, at least between man and woman, is marriage. To reach to this state, a couple first becomes engaged; then they must go through a wedding ceremony, and after that, they can finally dedicate their lives to each other. Those who partake in each stage are called specific names: for example, a young man and woman are a fiancé and a fiancée throughout the engagement. The wedding ceremony makes them the groom and bride; then, the husband and his wife live as one flesh during their marriage.
Our relationship to God is very similar. First God, in Christ Jesus, found us and redeemed us. We became his Fiancée. Later a wedding will take place, and we will become His Bride. After the wedding ceremony, we will be His Wife.
This transformation of the true believer from Jesus Christ’s Fiancée, to His Bride, and finally to His Wife, is the subject of this book. The book’s arrangement follows this outline:

2. Church
3. Bride
4. Wife

Introduction
God the Father has chosen His Son to populate God’s Kingdom. His Son must be God; and thus, He is God the Son.
In his Revelation, the Apostle John saw the Heavenly Throne and its Occupants. Hence, he had to see both God the Father and God the Son. The Son is He who is performing the will of God the Father. In relation to the events of the Last Days, God the Father wrote His will on the Scroll, and has given it to His Son to act upon (Revelation 5:7). From the description of He who took the Scroll, it is clear that He too is God. He must be God, because He stands at the center of God’s Throne. As beings must have both body and spirit, so it is with God.
The Apostle John saw the Spirit of God as the Seven Spirits (Revelation 4:5). The body of God the Son looked like the Lamb, having seven horns and seven eyes (Revelation 5:6). The Bible declares that the Seven Spirits of God are in His eyes, and therefore there could not be any doubt that the Seven Spirits are the Spirit of God the Son.
As Eve was created from Adam’s rib to bear children for him, so God the Father had to take some part from God the Son to bear children for Him. Christ Jesus tells us this was the Spirit: I tell you the truth, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit
(John 3:5-6). Thus, the original population of the Earth is born from the water of an internal reproductive organ (the womb), and the new population of Heaven (the Kingdom of God) is born of the Spirit. Two separate births are required before one can enter the Kingdom of God.
