Hi jj,

The marriage of the Bride will occur before the resurrection at the end of the age. It's how Revelation is written, and also fits Yeshua's prophecy.

Marriage is defined as 'two becoming one flesh'. In the garden of Eden, there was no sexual connotation until the serpent suggested it, causing Adam and Eve to cover their private parts with leaves.

The principle of 'two becoming one flesh' is the key to understanding Elohim, as being many identities combined into the One.

As for our ancestry, there's no need to trace it right back, which is impossible anyway. When the Assyrians invaded the Northern Kingdom about 2700 years ago, they scattered the people all over the place. As Michael said, many of them wound up in Europe and other places, from whom came Britain, the USA, Australia, and so on. Therefore many (or most) Gentiles have descended from Israel, and don't even know it! This has dramatic spiritual implications.
