The Temple of His Body.

[Konstantin]

 In the Book of Revelation, in the fifth chapter, the whole Church of God is represented to us in its entirety. Jesus Christ said: ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up’ (John. 2:19). He ‘spake of the temple of his body’ (John.2:21). This Temple will be rebuilt during three thousand years, because ‘one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day’ (2Pet.3:8)

So, ‘the four beasts’ (Rev.5:6) are ‘faithful’ (Rev. 17:14), or ‘church of the firstborn’ (Heb.12:23), or ‘a sheaf of the firstfruits’ (Lev.23:10) of the harvest...,

Twenty-four elders are ‘called, & chosen’ (Revelation 17:14), or ‘barley harvest and of wheat harvest’ (Ruth.2:23), or ‘two wave loaves’ (Lev.23:17) ...,

Many Angels (Rev. 5:11) are the saved of the Millennium and the righteous of the Old Testament who will be resurrected "at the end" (Dan.12:13) of the Millennium is the ‘feast of ingathering at the year's end’ (Ex.34:22)

I would be very interested to see any replies to this mixture.

The Church of God is also shown in her entirety in Song of Solomon.
‘Thou art beautiful, O my love,’ (Song. 6: 4), ‘my spouse‘ (Song. 4: 8)

‘There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.’(Song. 6: 8)

‘spouse‘ – ‘faithful’ (Rev. 17:14), or ‘the bride‘ (Rev.21:9), or ‘church of the firstborn’ (Heb.12:23), or ‘a sheaf of the firstfruits’ (Lev.23:10) of the harvest, or ‘the four beasts’ (Rev.5:6)...,

‘threescore queens, and fourscore concubines’ – ‘called, & chosen’ (Rev. 17:14), or ‘barley harvest and of wheat harvest’ (Ruth.2:23), or ‘two wave loaves’ (Lev.23:17), or ‘four and twenty elders’ (Rev.5:8)…

‘and virgins without number’ – ‘many angels’ (Rev. 5:11) -- are the saved of the Millennium and the righteous of the Old Testament who will be resurrected "at the end" (Dan.12:13) of the Millennium is the ‘feast of ingathering at the year's end’ (Ex.34:22)
