Genesis 2:21

“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.” Genesis 2:21

This is where you see that God is an all-knowing God. He declares the end from the beginning.

That’s why the Bible says we’re predestined.

Even before Adam sinned,

God was already revealing the plan of redemption

through the way He created the woman.

Do you know that deep sleep means death?

For Adam to receive his wife,

he had to die, be opened, and bleed.

And in the same way, the Lord Jesus

had to die and bleed to receive His Bride.

Imagine this:

For a man to truly receive a wife,

he must die to himself.

That’s why Paul said,

“Husbands, love your wives.”

Because she was created for him,

taken from him—not from anything else,

but because she belongs to him.

Just like Christ loves His Bride,

He gave His life to bring her back to Himself.

A man represents Christ, for Christ is his Head.

So if you’re not willing to die,

not willing to sacrifice your life…

then you’re not ready to receive a wife,

You are not ready to be one with her again.

And you’re not ready to lead her into eternal life with Jesus.
