The Bible

 

Jeremiah 51:43

Study

       

43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.

Commentary

 

Woman, wife, bride, virgin, and daughter

  

The church is called 'a woman,' 'a wife,' 'a bride,' 'a virgin,' and 'a daughter,' when it has a celestial and angelic proprium, or selfhood.
