Bridegroom is an implied name of Jesus (Yeshua‘). Jesus suggested that He is the groom in the parable of the virgins (Matt. 25:1-13). Elsewhere in the New Testament, the church is called the bride of Christ, which again makes Jesus the groom or husband. In the book of Revelation, it is as the Lamb of God that Jesus marries the church, His Bride.
