Genesis 2:21-23 (ESV Strong's)
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,
“This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man.”
The deep sleep of Adam foreshadows the time between the ascension of Christ and His return. During this time the bride of Christ is being fashioned from a small portion of the body of Christ. When the time is right, we will join join Him in a united and consummated union.
The Hebrew word for “woman” here is an unusual plural construct. In effect it denotes many into one. This is true of the Bride of Christ.
