I loooove this program. I always share Michael Pearl's teaching with my family.
same here!:) GBless:)
I remember when the Pope made a speech where he came in his own name .. not that of Jesus name .. That is also wrong and show anti-Christ .. He placed himself above God..
I am so thankful that you can make me understand the meanings of the word of God in the bible.
Hello. I just found your page today and have already learned so much. I like when someone knows the Bible and can explain it. I read and reread, and sometimes it just goes over my head. Thank you for your teachings and God Bless.
Get a KJV Bible
NOT a NewKJB ask The Father to teach you each verse you don't understand. The bibles written now days leave words and many whole scriptures out. They are written by devils people to leave/warp God's Word
Thank you Michael. Well, preached. Blessings to you and your family.
You were very correct on the teaching of the Body of Christ as being the Church and we being members of his Body , Christ as the Head , But where you go Wrong is , calling the Church the Bride of Christ , THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST ! You quoted Revelation 21:9
The word Church does not appear at all in that scripture ! Jeremiah 31 says that God will turn away from his Wife Israel for a moment , IT DOES NOT SAY , GOD DIVORCED HER ! Get this straight man !
If we are the Body , then we are part of the Bridegroom. Not bride of Christ. Which phrase is never mentioned in the scripture
New Jerusalem comes down AS a bride prepared. All other bride passages are a real person . the church is his body Not his bride.
Revelation 21:2 (KJV) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Prepared "As" a bride
Not that The New Jerusalem is a Bride
@@maranatha5819 Just as Jacob was given the name Israel so also will a new name be given. Rev 3:12 ..and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Well said brother, I'm from a Baptist Brider/Landmarker church which has this very much confused and distorted so hearing your break down was very refreshing.
How do we make ourselves ready? It is God that is working in us, not us.
Revelation 19:7 (KJV)
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and *his wife* *hath made herself ready.*
Php 2:13 *For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.*
Thank you teacher please keep posting. Depending on God fearing man like you good night God bless tomorrow is a new day.
You are such a faithful man. Thank you
Thank you, this was helpful teaching us how to go to the Bible to search for answers. Most of us were not taught this, but to follow ecumenical men and authorities like Billy Graham who taught it didn't matter and sent men back to Rome & the rabbis both. At what point do we have responsibility to warn of a wolf? I know that it gets tiresome, but I sure wish I hadn't had to learn such things on my own digging through layers of lies when other brethren older in the Lord and more knowledgeable in the word might have warned.
I AM Subscribed, now!!🤗

Thank You, Kindly, Divine BroStar!!🙏
Thank You for Your Divine Service to Divine LOVE.🙏🦅🕊☀️👑👑☀️🕊🦅🙏
I LOVE YOU, Love!!😘🕊💋💙💚💜
Thanks Oldman. I see you have been around the block a time or two. God Bless!
When you said God married Israel, divorced Israel, remarried Israel it was an abomination. So you're saying God committed an abomination ?
Thank you, I had a dream and Jesus said "Worthy is the body". But had other dreams of being in a wedding dress getting ready. This helped clarify the difference. ❤
''Truth Time Radio'' also here on youtube has also a video about the "Body of Christ vs ''Bride of Christ'' # Confused By The Church - it's a very interesting video, i tried to put out a link here but this channel does not allow links i guess, have a blessed day in our Lord and Savior Jesus christ, the name above all the names!!!
The body of Christ is the new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17. Not the old thing (branch /sheep). The body Is part of that mystery from Paul, and Paul only.
The bride of Christ is a city, Revelation 21:9-10, according to prophecy.
The bride is not a city.
Revelation 21:11 KJV, The bride, which is the Lamb's one wife is of God. John saw her divine light in that great city, the holy Jerusalem.
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
Take note New Heaven and Earth are not like what it's used to be.
Michael, what are your thoughts on emily rose?
I love this. But you an unction from the Holy One and need no one teach you. I love that you said it would please you for us to get to a point we don’t need doctrine from any man. ❤️
Let's go!
Amen.
Who are the guest ?
The Bride is the HOLY CITY NEW JERUSALEM and the body is all of his followers through all of world from tje beginning to the end..
So Jesus isn’t allowed to have a real woman as a bride
Read Song of Solomon 6: 9
So you're saying that The Church and The Bride of Christ are the same thing. But in a rapture dream I heard, "I'm not coming for the Church; I'm coming for my Bride."
I learn the word from you,better than any church that I have ever been to,
You know I wonder sometimes when we receive our new bodies I just wonder how are we not gonna sin, I now its simple because they’re holy and perfect like Christ but can you just imagine where a bad thought might slip? But I guess I just can’t comprehend it.
Trading free will for sinless perfection. That's a whole lot better than going to the lake of fire.
We will have the Spirit to the full.
John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: *for God giveth not the* *Spirit by measure unto him.*
1John 3:2 - Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1Cor. 2:9 - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
The best explanation I've heard is this.... Right now and for our whole life we have had the opportunity and the ability to eat dirt but we just don't have the desire. Boy am I looking forward to a life like that.
Ken Chafin I understand brother even
Now we who are on the body of Christ decrease in desire to sin but the problem have is in heaven are we not going to be capable to choose to have a bad thought, even tho we won’t desire to sin?
@@christos8418 I think if we look at Isiah 65 it is a really good picture of what is to come for us. It even says we won't even remember this world. So I would say when we are "Changed" in the twinkling it's a Really BIG change and you're right, we can't even imagine it right now. See ya soon. God Bless
Ken Chafin thanks brother good answer, see you up there, and I guess we can ask our father directly when the time comes with all the questions we have, that’s one of the things I’m waiting for, to ask him about certain situations and why.
God bless
Church, Ekklesia in Greek = calling out ( of wilderness). The body has many members. The bride has been prepared for marriage: the last remnants of Babylon have been removed (trumpets, bowls in Revelation), the old man Adam in us has died ( take up our cross) and our true identity in Christ is now our new reality. That’s when we are ready for the marriage, that’s when we are fully matured in Sonship. He makes all this new, the old knowledge of good and evil, the judgment of man under the Law has to make place for the justice of the father in his grace.
The bride of Christ is literal and spiritual. Everything that happens in the spiritual world happens before the physical. God bless!
This is so un biblical that it brings confusion to the body of Christ
First of all I respect your teachings...thank you... but You told us not to listen to you but to read Scripture for myself... I did just that and see over and over again that we are indeed the Body of Christ..: that is undeniable... however the only Scripture that tells us who the Bride of Christ is...Revelation 21:2 21:9 and 21:10 ....
I dont see how the Body of Christ is the Lambs wife! Isreal was married to God but there will be a new covenant with them because of divorce! The Bride makes there self ready. We are the body of Christ and if we are the body and Christ is the Head than we would be marring ourselves? Once we are saved we are already in Christ Jesus?
She is send here to fulfill the prophesy just like Jesus. Whatever she face is just a testimony.
sorry your half wrong in Revelation 21:9-10 it clearly states that new Jerusalem is the bride that's where the body of Christ will live. when we come down to the new earth. we are not marrying Christ were going to be with him and then the marriage between the gentiles and the Jews with Christ at the head.
Should one leave a church if they believe that there’s a difference between the body of Christ and the bride?
Meaning, In order to even have a chance to be in the bride, you have to be a member of a NT church who has lineage back to the Lords first church he founded? So, Landmarkism basically.
You only need to be a disciple of Jesus not a “church/organization member” We are members of the body of Christ. Let’s not call ourselves anything Jesus didn’t call us. We must read our bibles and let the Holy Spirit guide us.
What is the true church in the Bible
The body of Christ of which is a Holy Priesthood . This is the Church
Study 'church' throughout the scriptures and pray God to give you understanding.
Jesus equals second Adam, the church equals second eve
M C , let's make it up as we go. maybe Jesus banged Eve and that's how we got the Avengers?
Plumbmaster why be disgusting, what happened to men acting like men and having respect. Generation raised by woman acting like woman
Pretty simple- Jesus is second Adam per scripture. Church is the bride. Bride of Adam was Eve. Make sense?
In (Revelation 21:2) Then I, John saw the holy city, "New Jerusalem," coming down out of heaven from God. (The new Jerusalem is the bride of the Lord).
Where in the Bible can we find scriptures describing the Marriage Supper of the Lamb as a fine dining experience after the Wedding, rather than a bloody battle?
What then is Mattew 22:1-14 saying? I know the Kingdom of Heaven is the Earthly Kingdom Jesus sets up, and this parable speaks to that. But, it doesn't say who the Bride is, that He sets up His Son's wedding with. But, the guest, represent (that are allowed to attend), must be wearing the proper attire to stay at the wedding, and gets kicked out if they are not. Don't the acceptable guest have to be wearing the Robe of Righteousness, and they represent us, and unbelievers will be cast out of the Kingdom of Heave, because they haven't believed?
Who will be the husband of New Jerusalem, The City of God? God the Father, or, God the Son? Or, both? Is Jesus the Lamb of God? John says New Jerusalem is the Lamb's wife. Will we be married to her, too? Or, are you saying we become her? Will she still be the Mother of us all, too?
Most of the church is already with Jesus (1900 plus years of believers already present with the Lord)
the "bride" will be "snatched" from certain perils to come upon the earth.
Study the ancient Hebrew marriage practice to see the carrying away of the bride.
Love your bride as jesus loves his churches
The Bride is the group of believers who believed , before the church of the body of born again believers was began on the day of Pentecost. After the law of Moses was fulfilled by Jesus, now a man or woman is saved by grace. How great a time we live in!!!
Not There Am I it’s I Am. He’s the Great I Am.
Not sure I quite agree my friend. This is a Catholic teaching. As Catholic means universal... unfortunately this teaching keeps people at home and away from fellow Christians. Of course it does wonders for the television ministry and sadly RUclips and online ministries.... love u my brother but I think u may be wrong on this one. Of course so might I! But I think not. The kingdom is universal, not Gods church. The church is the local visible body of believers. As in “where two or more are gathered.” All Christians occupy the same kingdom are are citizens of heaven. But we fellowship each in separate Eclosia or churches. Each is the full body of Christ even as He is ever present by way of His Devine nature. This by no way Diminishes his omnipotence, or omnipresence but instead compliments it and widens the scope of our understanding of who God is and who Jesus is. The contrary teaching limits God. And that is dangerous. In my humble opinion. In Christ your brother R.
What keeps born again Christians out of the Church (Buildings)is, partaking in missions, street gospel, starting there own ministries to spread The gospel and realizing modern churches are preaching prosperity gospel. What’s keeping people in is either they have found a stable, righteously led church( Few and Far between) or people are in love with Satan’s prosperity gospel taking away all sense of responsibility and willful sinners love it. Let them keep building mega churches. I don’t believe in TV evangelism because it’s not interactive and I believe people forget that even though a church has a leader the leader should be interacting with everyone while teaching. Too many churches have a lecture style teaching then they tell you to go home.
Do you think there is any connection to Eve being taken from the body of Adam?
IE could it be somehow that the Bride of Christ is taken from the (sleeping!) Body of Christ?
@@petervan333 Mary is not the "second Eve", that is never mentioned in scripture, and she certainly was not sinless either, she confessed God as her savior in Luke 1:47, meaning she needed God to save her. Also, if Christ required a sinless mother to be born sinless, then surely Mary's mother had to be sinless to birth Mary. Lastly, if Mary was sinless, Christ did not need to come, since then Mary could have died for our sins and there would have been no need for Christ. Catholicism is a false religion that contradicts the teachings of scripture. Repent and believe the gospel, Christ is the only sinless man who ever walked the earth.
petervan333 the Holy Spirit does the interpretation. The problem is that if Mary was sinless we wouldn’t need a savior. The whole point of Jesus being crucified was because we couldn’t follow the law and be sinless it just isnt possible for us so the Lord came down to take our place being perfect and sinless. If Mary was sinless then that would mean its possible for any of us to be sinless too and it isnt that is why Jesus came
Matthew 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
petervan333 my point isnt about Mary replacing the savior its simply saying that if Mary could be without sin then no one would’ve needed to die to atone our sins because the reason we need a savior is because we cannot overcome sin. We need a savior because we cannot follow all 600+ laws perfectly without error (in both action and thought) - which would make us sinless. Only Jesus could do that. So if Mary, one of us, can be without sin then that means its possible for anyone to work hard to be without sin and that isn’t biblical hence needing a savior. If God needed to make Mary without sin to have Jesus then God would’ve needed to make Mary’s mother without sin and her mother (so on and so forth) without sin to keep that sinless lineage going to make it to Jesus. Instead Mary was simply just a girl who God chose to bear the Lord. The Bible says nothing about Mary being without sin.
I've been confused about the Church being called the bride, because there are so few scriptures actually saying we are the Bride, at any point in time. To me, the fact that God spoke as though He was the "husband to Israel", I considered Jerusalem the wife of Jesus, the Christ, who will be reigning, and ruling, from there.
In Rev. the wife of the Lamb is the New Jerusalem. She's adorned as a bride would be, in fine linen, which represents righteousness. The Bible says the Jerusalem above is the Mother of us all. I see us as inheriting what Jesus inherits because we are brothers, and daughters, of God. Joint heirs with Christ. The Bride will share what her husband has, not inherit for herself. And to the Jewish Leaders, He called His disciples, friends of the Bridegroom, not the Bride. I need the Holy Spirit to reveal this to my spirit, so I can understand, and believe.
New Jerusalem is one of the woman’s many names not a city.
Nope, the church the Body of Christ, is the "one new Man" in Eph 2:15 (a new creation, not born again, as will be Israel when she receives her Kingdom). Be careful building doctrine from analogy (similitudes). The most literal passage we have on the Bride, is the City, the bride of the Lamb (who by similitude James also calls the Lion) and that is mentioned *without analogy* in Revelation 21:9 and 10 as the angel said to John, "come and I will show you the bride". I have to ask, why avoid the most literal passage, and quote passages using analogy or similitude teaching other things?
That borne again
AKJV
Revelation 21
9 Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.
(The bride is the Lamb's one wife.)
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like to a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
(She is of God. John was shown her divine light.)
Song of Solomon 6:9
She is the only one of her mother,
(the only begotten daughter)
She is the choice one of her that bare her.
(espoused by the Spirit of God)
Behold King Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart. (Songs 3:11)
**
They which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb are the chosen guests, the wise virgins who are ready. Read Matthew 22.
Wrong teaching, He doesn’t understand between the old and the new testament, please divide the word of the truth .(2tim2:15)
I was keeping Up until you said God married Israel twice and is an abomination. Please explain this to me because God is not an abomination
Read Hosea
yeah. I was like huh, WHAT? I pulled up the transcript. they typed "denomination". lol. but I know what he said. that's sorta freaky.
I always thought God divorced a part of the Hebrews. Israel, not Judah, wasnt it? He was disgusted with both, because he referred to one as "and her harlot sister". When did He remarry her?
maybe Pearl meant that God COULDNT remarry her, because it would be an abomination, and simply misspoke? curious as to why he didnt edit, though.
I know there's a lot of folks that say the reason Jesus had to come, and die, was so God could then legally remarry Israel, because mosaic law. but I see a problem with that thinking, because of our triune Godhead. this is Hebrew roots theology.
it makes more sense, how dieing to SELF and being born AGAIN, means one could then be betrothed to JESUS, in this grace period.
Jeremiah 3:8
The Bride of Christ speaks.
Woe unto the scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more THE child of hell than yourselves.
So, looked up the word proselyte. It means to convert from one religion, or belief, basically.
So, it just so happens that I have lived a life different than most. He wanted that so I could see. What did He wish me to see? Well, after a month of sitting on His Word from Heaven, I figured it out. The black words in the Bible are words of land. Land and Sea does not mix. The Red Word of Christ, is sea. I'll break it down. The red see. The red Sea. The read see. The read sea.
The difference between the two, is the element they represent. And the reason it matters, they are both spells. The black to put you under the 10 commandment. The red to Grace. Hope someone understands, He didn't fill me with wisdom to keep it to myself.
Ummmm no. See, this is why it's so important to read our bibles. The Church is referred to as the Body of CHRIST. REVELATION chapter 21 clearly states the bride of CHRIST is the new Jerusalem
Take note that it's not a physical structure.
Nowhere in the Bible are we told to assemble to worship God on Sunday. We are told to worship God in the Romans 12:1 way.
Romans 12:1
Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
Only THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD Will Enjoy His Rewards
SÈER, TRIBE OF SIMEON
JEREMIAH 7 Identify the foolish five Virgin brides as the abortionist, IDOLATORS and the oppressors who violate the SIN UNTO DEATH 1JOHN 5;16.
LUKE 13;3 WITHOUT REPENTANCE WE SHALL ALL PERISH.
wrong
Since you asked. The bride of Christ are the Jews. Rev 21:9-10
Billy Graham....
When two become married they become one flesh - so there is NO difference. We are both the Body and the Bride (We are betrothed)
I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. (2 Corinthians 11v2)
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Revelation 19v7)
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14v2-3)
But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut. (Matthew 25v10)
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3v4)
Thats right √📖
The Bride is coming out of the lukewarm Church.
It's too bad you're leading people to the wrong knowledge . The Body of Christ are belivers of the faith of Christ during the "but now" ; Dispensation of Grace. Our riches are heavenly, Israel's is earthly. The bride is Jerusalem (Revelation), and God's wife was the nation Israel until they were divorced, but will remarry after Jesus returns. Read Hosea and the Gospel of the Apostle Paul to the gentiles (that's us; unless you're a Jew) about the Body of Christ.
