Hebrews 2:5-9
Excerpted from: The Eternal Privileges of the Bride

If you will, turn over to Hebrews 2, verse 5, please. Think of us in relation to the angels. The angels are wonderful beings. They excel in strength, but we are destined for a position that would be above the angels. In the apostle Paul's epistle to the Hebrews, he writes,

So these words show that we are already in that position in God's sight; we may not yet see it, but it is true of us now that we will see.

Now we are as good as above the angels because we are the betrothed bride of Christ, and as He is above them in the heavenly places, we have that dignity already now. We will have the full dignity of it when we are the actual bride of Christ, but right now we are the betrothed bride of Christ waiting for that marriage supper that is going to probably be the greatest celebration in the history of the universe and beyond. It is going to be important to God, and He is going to take some time having that marriage. It is not going to be just in the blink of an eye.
