그 날에 내가 곡을 위하여 이스라엘 땅 곧 바다 동편 사람의 통행하는 골짜기를 매장지로 주리니 통행하던 것이 막힐 것이라 사람이 거기서 곡과 그 모든 무리를 장사하고 그 이름을 하몬곡의 골짜기라 일컬으리라
에스겔 39:11
A Brief Exposition of New Church Doctrine # 101
101. That the Church is the Lord's, and that on account of the spiritual marriage, which is the marriage of good and truth, the Lord is called the Bridegroom and Husband, and the Church, the bride and wife, is known among Christians from the Word, particularly from the following passages. John said of the Lord: He that hath the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom is he who stands and hears him, and rejoices because of the bridegroom's voice. John 3:29. Jesus said, While the bridegroom is with them, the sons of the marriage cannot fast. Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:19-20; Luke 5:34-35. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:2. The angel said to John, Come and I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife (and from a mountain he showed him the holy city Jerusalem). Revelation 21:9-10. The time of the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready ...blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. Revelation 19:7, 9. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright and morning Star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:16-17.
