The cross is loves greatest story. Colin Hamer introduces the Bridegroom Messiah, and highlights the four reasons why he had to die, from the perspective of the Bibles marital imagery. The Bridegroom Messiah died: (1) To transform the elect into a virgin bride by cleansing her with his blood, to circumvent the Deuteronomy 24 marriage law; (2) So he as high priest could take a virgin bride; (3) To pay the mohar; (4) To cleanse us from sin so that we could come back into Gods presence after the expulsion from Eden. David Instone-Brewer, of Tyndale House, Cambridge, calls Hamers treatment of marital imagery: A significant contribution without precedent in the literature.
