Body and the Bride, ministered to by Paul, the prisoner, and John, the aged apostle, are

two distinct companies, there are many indications that lead us to believe that, though

"two", they may yet be "one", just as a husband and wife, without losing their own

individualities, can be pronounced "no more twain, but one flesh" (Matt. 19: 6: see also

Eph. 5: 31 and Eph. 2: 18).

In our next article we hope to consider the links which the Apostle has established

between the Mystery and the period of Genesis that deals with Adam and creation before

the fall.
