Readers -
I came across a good connection tying the Bride to the metal Silver. This material has been worked on before, and posted before - but I'll give the reader the background:
Since abut 1998, I have consistently thought that Benjamin, 12th son of Jacob, Joseph's only full blood kin, was the Bride and was connected to Silver.
In Genesis 44:2, Joseph puts his silver cup of divination in his brother's Benjamin's sack as the brothers are preparing to leave Egypt -
"And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken."
that's one.
In Genesis 45:22, after Joseph reveals himself to his brothers, they eat a meal and ...
"To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment."
that's two.
Benjamin was really who Joseph is after, and he goes to a lot of trouble to get him to Egypt. Read the entire Genesis account for yourself.
On the Breastpiece of the High Priest, there are twelve stones in four rows of three stones each top to bottom. The bottom row consists of stones representing (right to left) Benjamin, Manasseh, and Ephraim.
Benjamin is stone 10, and has a hebrew gematria of 162.

for a listing of all 282 Bible verses with the KJV translated word SIlver in them.
Here is the first verse:
Genesis 13:2
"And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold."
Hebrew value for that word = 162, same as Benjamin.
That's three.
The new material **********
concerning Eve.
Eve is the first Bride. Eve's hebrew Strong's number is 2332.
I wondered if I plugged the 2332 value into Bible Wheel gematria slot, a verse would come up that had the word silver in it, I went here:

yes - correct! PTL.
Third verse of four :
Esther 3:11
"And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee."
in fact, this is a great match, as Esther is a type of the Bride, and Haman is a known type of the anti-christ.
First verse of four with a hebrew total verse value of 2332 also may be pertinent -
1Kings 20:21
"And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter."
...as my take on the "End" is that the Dead are raised (1 Thess 4:16), the Bride (the dead in Christ, plus the Living) is taken (caught up, 1 Thess 4:17), the AC revealed (2 Thess 2:3) and Damascus destroyed ((Isaiah 17:1) all at the same time, or in close succession.
