who is married

5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

The last part of the verse is easy to understand: God=bridegroom, God's people=bride.

Who do the young man and virgin represent?
Who are the sons?
Who is the thee whom they marry?

Isa 62:5
As already stated: Jesus = bridegroom, Bride = church
sons = people who join the church?
thee = Jesus via connection with His church?


Very close and sacred is the relation between Christ and His church—He the bridegroom, and the church the bride; He the head, and the church the body. Connection with Christ, then, involves connection with His church. {CSA 65.8}
