WIFE

A woman about to get married or recently married. In the Scriptures she is used as a symbol of those who are closely associated with Jehovah or the Lord Jesus.

Almost the entire book of the Song of Songs is composed of a dialogue between a husband and his wife, undoubtedly referring to Jehovah and the Jewish remnant (cf. Hos. 2:19, 20).
As a wife adorns herself with jewels (Isa. 61:10), so Jerusalem will be adorned with the righteousness and salvation of Jehovah.

When John was called to behold the wife, the bride of the Lamb, he sees a beautiful city, holy Jerusalem, having the glory of God (Rev. 21:2, 9, 10).
The Church is the wife of the Lamb (cp. 2 Cor. 11:2).
