How does Genesis 24 picture the Holy Spirit calling out the bride of Christ?

Genesis 24 prefigures the Holy Spirit's mission: as Abraham the father sent his servant to a far country to obtain a bride for Isaac, so God the Father sent the Holy Spirit to call out a bride for the Son.

Les explains that Genesis 24 presents the calling out of a bride for Isaac by Abraham the father, who sent his servant into a far country to get a bride for his son. This pictures how God the Father has sent the Holy Spirit to call out a bride for the Son. Les had been studying that Genesis 24 account, then turned to the New Testament to show this same calling-out work, before planning to return to Genesis chapter 25.

Genesis 24:1

And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
