197. Abma, Bonds of Love, 257. Abma recognizes that in a certain sense this marital imagery is an “anthropomorphism,” but it is an anthropomorphism unlike other anthropomorphisms about God in Scripture (such as God having emotions, desiring to do wicked actions, having “a face, mouth, eyes, heart, hands, ears, feet and a voice,” and so on [Bonds of Love, 258]). The transcendent God can indeed unite a people to himself in an intimacy so profound as to be marital. As Abma says, “There is no shade of sexuality or procreation in the relationship with Yhwh . . . but there is intimacy between Yhwh and Israel. . . . God’s love for Israel implies that he takes pleasure in the people and in their being with him (Jer. 2:2). He enjoys Israel as his partner and does not want to lose her (Hos. 2:21–22). There is a sense of joy and delight in God’s partnership with Israel (Isa. 62:4). If there has been a temporary estrangement, a new and fresh start is made, indicating that Israel remains the partner after God’s heart” (Bonds of Love, 259). Israel lives “side by side” with God and enjoys “fellowship” and “companionship” with him (Bonds of Love, 259).
