Rebeca de Isaque

Cicero Nogueira's 'Rebeca de Isaque' is a song that delves into the spiritual identity and role of the Christian church, using the metaphor of a bride to describe its qualities and mission. The lyrics draw parallels between the church and the biblical character of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac, to convey the church's relationship with Jesus Christ, often referred to as the Bridegroom in Christian theology. The song uses vivid imagery and biblical references to portray the church as a strong, victorious, and loving entity that is chosen by God and empowered to overcome evil and proclaim peace.

The song's verses highlight various attributes of the church, such as being 'burned by the Sun of justice,' which suggests purity and refinement through trials. The church is also described as numerous as 'the sands of the beach,' indicating its vast and inclusive nature. The church's actions, such as teaching the way to heaven, fighting sin, and healing in the name of Christ, are celebrated as evidence of its divine power and purpose. The refrain 'Who is she? What does she do?' followed by the answer 'Rebeca de Isaque, the bride of the Lamb, who proclaims peace,' reinforces the church's identity as a chosen and active participant in God's plan.

The song's message is one of encouragement and affirmation for believers, reminding them of their collective identity as part of the church, which is loved and supported by Christ. It emphasizes the church's role in spiritual warfare, healing, and spreading the gospel of peace. Cicero Nogueira, known for his gospel music, uses this song to inspire faith and commitment among listeners, urging them to embrace their role as part of the 'bride' that is destined for victory and union with Christ.
