- 3/14/23 COUNTDOWN
- Would you make any changes in your life if you knew the Rapture of the Bride of Christ was going to happen this April 9th, 2023?
Can I actually “Foretell” that the Rapture will be April 9th, 2023? No, I cannot but I can tell you the season. You need to read my book Hope for Those Left Behind for the details.
On my Bible Guy Web Site – page Movies – starting with Abraham. We have been watching the Bible Movies in order each evening: Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses…
The Bride of Christ, who is she and who is she not. Part 6
Much has been said about the Bride of Christ. It is evident that she exists somewhere and is acting in some capacity. The place nearest to the Bridegroom is the place which is held by the Bride. The Bride is composed of the full overcomers, who are very close in their fellowship with Christ and with each other. They are also in very near relationship to the Holy Ghost, who transmits to them the precious things of the Bridegroom.
Fear not! I am telling you this in advance so you will know that God is in control, has a plan and wants to get your attention.
What you are about to read was written over 100 years ago published in 1919 and The Bible Guy was given permission to republish. What a great honor to have this available today.

The world has always listened to the message of love; but to the Bride of Christ that message is peculiarly sweet and precious. Christ, the Bridegroom, speaks to no other as He speaks to His beloved bride. His yearning is beautifully expressed in the Songs of Solomon 5:2, “I sleep, but My heart waketh; it is the voice of My beloved that knocketh, saying, Open unto me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.”
From 1919 Book The First and The Last by Ira Surface, republished by Thomas Spencer The Bible Guy. CHAPTER 9
III. THE BRIDE A PECULIAR BODY FOR A PECULIAR PURPOSE
In Eph. 5:25-27, we read, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Chris also loved the “Ekklesia”, and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious “Ekklesia”, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” We see here two attitudes of the believer.
1. Standing
First, his standing is perfect in Christ Jesus, since the sacrifice was made for every believer, for the whole “Ekklesia”. Christ’s purpose was also that all should be holy without spot of wrinkle.
2. State
Second, his state is the degree of perfection at which he arrives as he follows on after the Lord. All will not submit to the process of perfecting. All will not deny themselves and submit wholly to the Lord; be crucified unto the world, and have the world crucified unto them. Their state will be the ground of the judgment of the believer. “Many are called, but few chosen,” Matt. 20:16. Therefore, the Bride will be the few who are chosen out of the “Ekklesia”.
