The virgins are the bride. The body of Christ here upon this Earth, we are the bride, and Jesus is the Bridegroom.

You must understand that the concept of marriage here upon this Earth is a shadow, a limited precursor, to that which believers will experience in eternity with Christ.

We are co-heirs with Him, as His bride.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
