Jesus will return to earth. When he does this, Jesus will gather his people together in one place. Jesus made his people pure and holy. They are the pure and holy church. God the Father will give the pure and holy church to Jesus in the same way a father gives his daughter to her husband at their wedding (see: 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:25-27, 31-32; Revelation 19:7-8).
