I guess we have a difference of opinion. Have a blessed day.
I was mistaken about the number of references. There are two (2). Whereas the 1st does not explicitly state that new Jerusalem is the bride, the 2nd reference leaves nothing in doubt:
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
(Revelation 21:9-10)
This city consists of a high wall with 12 gates, with the names of the 12 tribes of Israel. The wall has a foundation consisting of the 12 apostles of the Lamb. Only those are saved may enter:
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
(Revelation 21:27)
The word "church" (gk. ἐκκλησία) does not appear in any of these passages.
Have a blessed Easter.
