Ezekiel 9:8

Study

       

8 And it cometh to pass, as they are smiting, and I -- I am left -- that I fall on my face, and cry, and say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, art Thou destroying all the remnant of Israel, in Thy pouring out Thy wrath on Jerusalem?'

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.
