The *ז* (Zayin) represents the bride of Christ, the church, which was chosen by God before the foundation of the world but was revealed in later times. These verses emphasize that God's eternal plan for the church, as His bride, was set in motion from the beginning but was suddenly revealed in the resurrection of Christ. | The *ז* (Zayin) represents the bride of Christ, the church, which was chosen by God before the foundation of the world but was revealed in later times.

==Description= | |||
:Zayin as the Symbol of God’s Eternal Plan for the Church: | |||
::The letter ז (Zayin) is uniquely connected to the concept of the eternal plan of God for His bride, the church. This idea highlights the church's predestination and its revelation at the appropriate moment in history. This suggests that the church, as the bride of Christ, is not a new or accidental development but an integral part of God's sovereign and eternal plan. | |||
:The Progressive Revelation of the Bride: | |||
::The idea that the church was chosen before the foundation of the world but only revealed after the cross emphasizes the progressive nature of God's plan. It’s a reflection of how certain divine truths unfold in God's timing, demonstrating how the church's identity as Christ’s bride was hidden throughout history and only made fully clear after the completion of Christ’s redemptive work. | |||
:The Mystery of the Church Revealed in Christ: | |||
::The church, as Christ's bride, is presented as a mystery that was hidden for ages but revealed through the resurrection of Christ. This mystery ties into the broader biblical theme of God's timing in the revelation of His redemptive purposes. The unveiling of the bride—previously concealed—is a pivotal moment in redemptive history. | |||
