Bridegroom
bridegroom
(Anglo-Saxon: bryd, bride; guma, man) Term used figuratively in the Bible. Comparisons taken from marriage are popular in the Scriptures. Our Lord employs the term in His parables, e.g., Matthew 25. He calls Himself the Bridegroom (Matthew 9) and is so styled by the precursor (John 3). This is a most beautiful and apt figure showing the relationship of Christ to His Church.

Bridegroom
Isa 61:10 (a) In this and in other passages, the Bridegroom is the Lord JESUS Himself. In the Old Testament, the Bride is Israel and the Bridegroom is the Father, but in the New Testament, the Bride is the church, and the Bridegroom is the Lord JESUS. (See also Mat 25:1).
