In this episode, John and Arden Bevere unpack one of the most misunderstood passages in Revelation. Why is the New Jerusalem called the Bride of Christ? Through Scripture, they reveal how the Bible presents the Bride as both a real city and a redeemed people, uncovering God's desire to dwell with us forever and invite us into deeper intimacy with Him. The more you understand who you are to God, the more you'll understand what He's been preparing for you all along. --- 00:00 Is the New Jerusalem a real place? 00:55 Why is the New Jerusalem called the Bride? 02:32 God's desire has always been to dwell with His people 08:09 Two ways to understand the Bride of Christ 11:15 The Church as the Bride of Christ 16:28 Why being the Bride changes everything 20:15 Intimacy with God transforms holiness 26:57 The New Jerusalem as the Bride 29:18 What will the New Jerusalem be like? 35:25 Why God calls His people His bride 38:22 We are living stones in God's dwelling place 40:41 Why this truth matters --- Social Handles and Websites: Instagram: @johnbevere Facebook: /JohnBevere.Page (John Bevere – official page) Facebook TikTok: @johnbevere https://johnbevere.com/
