The Bride comes out of the Bridegroom because she has to be of the same DNA as Him to be compatible with Him. Only that which is from the Bridegroom is able to be joined back to Him. The Bride is the One who will be joined together with the Lord in the harmony of a marriage union when He returns again to reign upon the Earth. She is neither Jew nor Gentile but a corporate new creation, and a spiritual being. Though her roots can be seen in the natural Israel, she transcends natural Israel, because her origin was before and her destiny to reign with Jesus will be after. She has always been in the heart of God, and the Father purposed that He would give the Bride as a love gift to the Son.
