Ahava Love Letter - “Marriage – His Plan. His Purpose. His Way” (Steve Martin)

                    
“Marriage – His Plan. 
His Purpose. 
His Way.” 
     
“So God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. God blessed them: God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and every living creature that crawls on the earth.” 
(Gen. 1:27-28 Complete Jewish Bible)

Dear family of friends,

I want to share some principles that have been established by the Lord, in regards to marriage. These are not subject to any current mood of the people on earth or any government ruling in any nation. These are God’s ordinances. If followed, His loving Hand’s blessings follow. If rejected…mankind will reap the work of his own hands.

In the beginning, the Father of all created all, including man in His image. Having this solid foundational stone in place, all else is then built on it. Next, He ordained that man should not be alone. He created a woman. Her name was Eve. (Sorry. Not Steve.)

Not only did He create a female helpmate for Adam, out of Adam’s own flesh, but at the same time He was creating the beginning of a Bride for His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach). Eternity had always been in His mind. He knew the beginning and He knows the end. He has His perfect plan, knowing all. The Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, had this set in place.

His purpose for Adam and Eve, now as husband and wife, would be to begin the foundation of the family. This family unit, having been established by our Father God, had begun. Male and female, having the ability to procreate after themselves, in His image, were commanded to fill the earth. These were the mainstay of His beautiful creation, sharing in His pleasure, and would enjoy fellowship with Him. They would be joined together, in spirit, soul and body, to flourish in His truth and peace. Ahava (love in Hebrew) would be the blessed results.

From this eternal plan, His joy in bringing forth nations, filling the earth, would reflect His heavenly Kingdom. Life would be shared among the various tribes and cultures that grew from the union of the first man and woman in marriage. The Father God would share His eternal love with His creation. Men, women, children, beasts of the field, birds of the air, fish in the sea would reflect His Father’s heart’s desire to bless.

As we know, having been given a freedom to choose right from wrong, the nations of the earth have turned to wicked ways, separating themselves from the Lord. They have replaced His plan with theirs. They have reaped the results, with the notion that anything is allowed, and whatever can be, will be, an ok path to walk down. They have certainly missed the mark along the way.

But out of His compassionate love, and having the utmost desire to have an eternal Bride for His Son Jesus, God the Father is bringing a people together that will be without spot or wrinkle, to present to His Son, and sit down with Him at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Nothing or no one will prevent His complete purposes and eternal plan from coming into fruition. He is the Eternal God. There will be no other way, as much as the Enemy or his followers would have us think and believe.

The Church, made up of the One New Man, consisting of Jews and Gentiles who have trusted in the Groom for their salvation, will be the fulfillment of the Father God’s eternal heart’s desire for Yeshua (Jesus) to have a Bride. Redemption will have reached its full mark. The Son will be married to Her, His Eternal Bride.

My ongoing prayer is that ordained, godly marriages, that of one man and one woman, intended to be a foreshadow of the coming Marriage, will stand strong and reflect His eternal love here on earth. We will then sit down and share the meal at the table with our Lord, the Groomsman, for all eternity.

Ahava to my family of friends,
