the great King Jehovah and then adds
that the virgins, or companions. that

We are not to identify the Bride class

elry, given to Rebecca, when first she
needed the invitation and invited the
servant to her home, represents the
earliest blessing received by believers,

decided to go to Isaac and become his
wife represents the blessings OF the
Holy Spirit which come upon the fully

walk in the footsteps OF, Jesus In the

she found herself III the presence OF
