It has struck me that where the King is spoken of, the bride is earthly Jerusalem; when the Lamb is spoken of, the bride is the heavenly Jerusalem. Of course, there are many analogous principles in both. Psalm 45 is entirely about the King’s wife — the Revelation entirely about the Lamb’s. Assuredly there is a good deal of interest in seeing the different characters of blessing in their relationships.
