Christ’s Blood had to be poured out to cover the Bride and the Wife to Be’s sin!  The Bride had to be forgiven to be wed to the Groom.  Hebrews 9:22 “In fact, under the Law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness [neither release from sin and its guilt, nor cancellation of the merited punishment].”
