God’s Desire to Get Married Motivated Him to Become Incarnated

Prophets

The Old Testament prophets repeatedly emphasize the status and position of God’s created and chosen people as God’s beloved spouse:

Isaiah 54:5 For your Maker is your Husband; Jehovah of hosts is His name. And the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.

Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: (KJV)

Jeremiah 31:31-32 Indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was their Husband, declares Jehovah.

Ezekiel 16:8 Then I passed by you and saw you; and then was your time a time of love. And I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness; indeed I swore unto you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord Jehovah, and you became mine.

Hosea 2:16 And it shall be in that day, says the LORD, [that] you will call Me “My Husband,” and no longer call Me “My Master,” (NKJV)

Hosea 2:19 And I will betroth you to Myself forever; indeed, I will betroth you to Myself in righteousness and justice and in lovingkindness and compassions;
