NJHD 6 - "Jerusalem", "Bride", "Wife"

NJHD 6

"Jerusalem," (signifies) the church as to doctrine;
which is said "to descend from God out of heaven,"
because all Divine truth,
from which doctrine is derived,
descends out of heaven from the Lord.

Come, I will show thee the Bride, the Lamb's Wife:
and he showed me that great city,
the holy Jerusalem.
(Revelation 21: 9, 10). 

The church is called in the Word
"the Bride" and "the Wife" of the Lord;
she is called "the Bride" before conjunction,
and "the Wife" after conjunction.
