Who is the man in Genesis 2:24?

Genesis 2:24 says:

"A man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife

and they must become one flesh "

On a superficial reading would think these words apply to our

first parents Adam and Eve.

But see Ephesians 5:31, 32 says:

"A man shall leave father and mother and cleaves to his wife

and the two shall become one flesh, This sacred secret is great,

          I am talking about Christ and the church"

We note that the apostle Paul says by inspiration that Genesis 2:24 speaks 

of Christ and the congregation.


Ephesians 5:23 says:


"... Christ is [...] head of the congregation"


When the Lamb are the head will stick to the body and they become one flesh,

thus fulfilling the prophetic words of Genesis 2:24.
