The Bible is a Romance
The Bible presents a romance. Love and marriage are seen beginning with Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 and concluding with New Jerusalem in Revelation 21-22. A song which presents this view begins:
__The Bible is a romance
____In the most holy sense:
__God and His chosen people
____In love it so presents.
__This Universal Couple
____Throughout it is displayed;
__God in Christ is the Bridegroom,
____His saints, the Bride, portrayed.
The second verse focuses on Adam and Eve.
The third verse draws from God’s longing
expressed in Exodus, Isaiah, and Jeremiah.
The fourth verse sets forth something from
Song of Songs. The fifth verse concludes:
__Christ is our coming Bridegroom;
____We are the Church, His Bride,
__Redeemed, regenerated,
____The issue of His side,
__In source, in life, in nature
____And person fully one,
__His counterpart forever,
____The New Jerusalem.
“The issue of His side” (4th line of this verse) was portrayed when Eve was built with the rib taken from Adam’s side. The reality is the church produced by the blood (for redemption) and the water (for life) that came forth in the Lord’s crucifixion (John 19:34). The ultimate issue is in Revelation 22:1—the throne of God and of the Lamb sends forth the river of water of life to supply New Jerusalem for eternity.
