“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,
