What’s The “COMPARISON” of Samson & His “WIFE” & CHRIST & His “BRIDE”?

Did some reading on the situation with Samson & his “wife”, & CHRIST, & his “BRIDE”, the “CHURCH”.

So, what’s the “COMPARISON” of Samson “AVENGING” the “PERSECUTION” of his “WIFE” BEING “GIVEN” to his “FRIEND”, to CHRIST “AVENGING” the “PERSECUTION” his “BRIDE”, “THE CHURCH”, of his “BRIDE” “IDOLIZING” & a “WHORING” after other “gods”?

“But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.”- Judges 14:20 (KJV)

Judges 15:1-8 (KJV):

1. But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.

2. And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.

3. And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.

4. And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.

5. And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.

6. Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.

7. And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.

8. And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.

As you READ Judges 14:20 & Judges 15:1-8, you can “REALIZE” that as what Samson did to “AVENGE” the “PERSECUTION” of his “WIFE”, CHRIST WILL DO the same, because;

“He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.”-

John 3:29 (KJV)

So with the “CHURCH” BEING the “BRIDE” of CHRIST, & with GOD “NOTICING” that his “BRIDE”, the “CHURCH” is IDOLZING” & a “WHORING” after other “gods”, like “AMERICA”, which is present day “BABYLON”, he’s going to;

Revelations 18:8-10 (KJV):

8. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

9. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10. Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

So that’s the “RELATIONSHIP of Samson “AVENGING” the “PERSECUTION” of his “WIFE” BEING “GIVEN” to his “FRIEND”, to CHRIST “AVENGING” the “PERSECUTION” his “BRIDE”, “THE CHURCH”, of his “BRIDE” “IDOLIZING” & a “WHORING” after other “gods”.

So as Romans 7:1-3 (KJV) says;

1. Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

2. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

But the “BRIDE” of CHRIST, in which is the “CHURCH”, DOESN’T HAVE to “WORRY” about being “LOOSE” from the “LAW” to GO & “FIND” another “HUSBAND”, because;

Ephesians 5:25-27 (KJV):

25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

PEACE:)
