MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
By Kepha, Servant of YaHVaH
Marriage, is one of the oldest institutions and traditions known to man. A Scriptural marriage is between one man and one woman. It is the foundation of the home, which forms our society’s, our community's, our nations and none the least, the KINGDOM OF YaH. Marriage is under attack today . Divorce rates have escalated and unmarried motherhood is rampant; same-sex marriage has raised its ugly head and is proliferating. So the foundation of our society is at stake; suffice it to say, the KINGDOM OF YaHVaH is not in our hearts when marital chaos and immorality reigns. Who knows what is next? Men and women may want their rights to marry a child, or a even beast! That could happen in a world of fallen man whose number is 6, a symbol of a man upside down, in all that he does.
When His Majesty YaHVaH made man, He gave him dominion over all the earth, all the beasts of the field, all the fish in the waters, and all fowls that fly all that creeps upon the ground.
Maaseh Bereshith (Genesis) Chapter 2:18 Then YaHVaH Elohim said, It is not good for the man to be alone; I shall make a helper suited to him.
Maaseh Bereshith (Genesis) Chapter 2:21-24 So YaHVaH Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh underneath. YaHVaH Elohim fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; for this shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of man. Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become into one flesh.
From the preceding accounts five facts of marriage are established.
Fact 1. YaHVaH made Adam, the man first and later on, He made the woman by taking a bone from the man.
Fact 2. YaH made the woman for the man as a "help meet for him."
Fact 3. Marriage is between a man and a woman.
Fact 4. A man who marries a woman leaves his parents and cleaves to his wife.
Fact 5. A man and woman who marry become one flesh. so they could procreate or multiply.
These are the fundamentals of the institution of marriage. YaHVaH did not ordain that a man be married to a man nor a man be married to a beast--this is coming to our society soon. Neither did He ordain that women take over the role of a man nor be single unmarried mothers. Any deviation from the principles that His Majesty YaHVaH put in place, constitutes profanity and sin and should be treated as such. From these fundamentals we are to understand that marriage is for life, a relationship where the husband is the head and covering to his wife and she is "his help meet." However and whatever way they complement each other is between them. It is for our happiness and blessings that YaHVaH provides for all our needs. We are to obey the words and laws of YaHVaH if we want to prosper and be blessed, or we shall face the consequences of flouting YaHVaH's Will. It is the will of YaHVaH that we live according to His all-wise and everlasting purposes for marriage and home. What are they?
Within every marriage, a home is established. In every marriage, love and relationship abounds and grows. In every marriage, fruit is wrought. Put in another way, marriage is the foundation of a home. It is also the foundation of the KINGDOM OF YaHVaH. It is the beginning of a family which extends to YaHVaH’s family. In every home, there must be a man and a woman and the offspring will come--"be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth", this is the heavenly command and there are rules to abide by………. (Bereshith (Genesis) Chapter 1:28) And Elohim blessed them; and Elohim said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
The head of the Kodeshim (Assembly) is Ha Mashiyach; the Head of Ha Mashiyach is YaHVaH, the Father. Ephesim (Ephesians) Chapter 5:23……. The head of a woman is man, and man is the head of the home.
Aleph Qorintim (1 Corinthians) Chapter 11:3 “But I want you to understand that Ha Mashiyach is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and the Elohim is the head of Ha Mashiyach.” & Verse 8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man;
Aleph Barnava (1 Timothy) Chapter 2:8-14 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but which becomes women professing reverence for Elohim through good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was brought in the transgression.
From the foregoing verses we must know that every home is the very nucleus of the KINGDOM OF YaHVaH. For the home, which consists of family, makes up the assembly which is, in essence, the KINGDOM OF YaHVaH on earth. Every man is the head of his home or family. He is a leader and a priest to his family.
Man, you are the leader, you are the priest. Do you stand up to that leadership? Do you stand up to that priesthood?
Even though the man is head of the house or family, he can not take advantage of his wife or abuse her. While she submits herself to him and is a "help meet for him," he is to love her and sees that her needs are met, too. It means he not only lead and give direction and provides for the families' needs, but he is the priest in the house and he is to take his family before YaHVaH, the King of the Universe morning and evening and present them before Him. He is to pray for them and intercede for them through YaHVaHShVa
Ha Mashiyach our High Priest before YaHVaH, the Father. It is when he prays and intercedes for them to His Majesty YaHVaH that his family will be free from strife and troubles. It is then he will find the real peace and blessings of the home. It is then the marriage will last. It is then he can call his home, "Home, sweet home." Here are some guidelines:
1. Set up the family altar and have family worship at least twice a day--morning or evening, or better, both.
2. Have a personal encounter with YaHVaH ELOHIM, and in your encounter with Him daily, pray for your family. You need to have family worship and you need to have personal prayer and worship everyday.
O Man! YaHVaH ELOHIM will hold you fully accountable for the state of your family and home. He is not going to hold your wife responsible for your family; He will hold you responsible for your wife, your children, and your family; you are the head of your family. He wants you to manage it so as to honor and give esteem to Him. And the only way He is glorified and honored is when you lead and give responsible direction and be responsible for all the needs of your wife and children. Then your home will become an exemplary home for the Kingdom of YaHVaH.
Marriage is for life, and divorce without Biblical cause, is adultery . Remarriage to a divorcee is also adultery. Unmarried mothers are fornicators and an abomination to YaHVaH ELOHIM. MattithYah (Matthew) Chapter 5:31-32, & Romiyim (Romans) Chapter 7:1-3.
UNHOLY WEDLOCK
In our world today, Patriarchal Marriage which was held sacred is now supplanted by Christian marriage. Christian Marriages today is not Scriptural. Christian Marriage today is pagan in forms and in teachings. Christian marriage gave woman--made from the bone of a man--equal rights (liberation, they called it) and authority which is contrary to YaHVaH's design. Christian Marriages are based on the State Legislation which could be terminated by a divorce called "Decree Nissi. So men and women in the churches could have the liberty to throw out their lifetime partners, or spouses--till death do us part--for whatever reasons deemed fit, there is no longer the security and sanctity of marriage. That is not in the Set Apart Scriptures. Christian Marriage has now make it possible for men and women to propagate remarriages which is no less than "serial polygamies." I know of a pastor who bragged of the many times (10th) he has remarried. What a shame? Mind you, they frown upon and or condemned polygamies while they mysteriously sanctioned or perpetrate "serial polygamies" by their laws. What a sham? What a laughing stock? What sanctimonious hypocrisies? Now you know what a Christian Marriage is! All the churches do the same thing, they adhere to state laws on marriages. Marriage by legislation!
What ensued is fornication. Man and woman, having seen the failures and futilities of Christian Marriages, decided they would rather not get married and or have children. This complicated things even more, they venture into pre-marital sex and co-habitation.
Then comes single Unmarried Moms. Where is the family? A woman who raises kid(s) without the father is not in line with YaHVaH. YaHVaH’s Will is for a man to be responsible for his actions, (not sowing wild oats), her children are fatherless--such fatherless children are not the same as the orphan in the eyes of YaHVaH. Here is a broken home from the start. Here the children are unsheltered, regardless of how well-fed or well dressed they might be. Here are the many side effects we see in today's social fabric--gays, lesbians, pedophiles, sex perverts, you name it...
"Today, we have witnessed some of the most evil conducts in human history. Man marries man; woman partners woman--these are now shameless; divorce rates spiraling upward, remarriages abound, and single unmarried motherhood is rampant. These are contrary to YaHVaH’s Kadosh (Holy) purpose for man's happiness and His great family. These are extensions of Christian marriages and they do not come from the teachings of our Heavenly Father but the government, they are government sanctioned; government legislation s.
WE DO NOT HATE GAYS OR LESBIANS BUT ENCOURAGE AND INVITE THEM TO SEEK HEALING FROM YaHVaH ELOHIM SO THAT THEY COULD RETURN TO NORMAL LIFE AND FIND SALVATION. NEITHER DO WE CONDEMN THOSE IN ADULTEROUS RELATIONSHIP BUT WE ENCOURAGE AND INVITE THEM TO SEEK FORGIVENESS, COUNSELLING AND RESTORATION THROUGH THE POWER OF THE SET APART SPIRIT. THERE IS NO WAY YaHVaH ELOHIM IS GOING TO CONFORM TO THIS WORLD OR COMPROMISE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS SO THAT SINFUL MAN HAVE THEIR WAYS. A SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE, THIS IS HIS MAJESTY’S DECREE.
WE BELIEVE, Ha SATAN, WHO CAME AND TOOK PLANET EARTH HOSTAGE SIX THOUSAND YEARS BACK, IS STILL HERE, PILLAGING, PLUNDERING, RAMPAGING AND RAVAGING THIS EARTH IN HIS DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO KEEP MANKIND CAPTIVE. TODAY, Ha SATAN HAS REFINED HIS SKILLS TO MANIPULATE WITH HUMAN GENES AND HE IS CERTAINLY AHEAD OF ANY GENETIC SCIENTIST IN MANY WAYS AND IN ANY CASE. THOSE WHOSE GENES HAVE BEEN MANIPULATED BY Ha SATAN COULD AND SHOULD TURN TO YAHVAH ELOHIM FOR RESTORATION. THEY MUST NOT LIVE THE WAY Ha SATAN WANTS THEM TO LIVE. THERE IS HELP AND HOPE IN YAHVAHSHVA HA MASHIYACH, WHO CAME TO SEEK AND SAVE THOSE WHO ARE LOST; HE CAME TO HEAL AND TO SAVE; HE CAME TO MAKE MAN WHOLE.
Today there are people who are so perverted that they do the unnatural--man marrying man and woman marrying woman. They have grown so vile that they are embolden to fight for their "rights" to be socially accepted. Rather than facing the facts and admitting to their sickness, a mental disorder which in reality was caused by the manipulation of the human genes. Now they want to fight for their right to be wrong before His Majesty YaHVaH. But what is wrong before YaHVaH cannot be made right. He cannot change to meet sinful behavior or sinful demands. On the contrary, we are the ones who need to be changed, and we need to change to be saved. That change is Healing, and YaHVaH has the power to heal. That is why YaHVaHShVa came and He will come again. First He came to heal and to save, the next time He comes, He will come to judge. If a guy is born gay, it is not his fault--it must be noted here that Satan has learned how to manipulate the human genes. But it is a sin to live a gay lifestyle. YaHVaH has the answer to all the gay problems. He can heal them. Unless they turn to Him, they won't get permanent, real help, and they will not be healed.
REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF YAHVAH IS AT HAND. All you who erred; all who are heavy laden; come, YaHVaH will heal you and put you back on that strait and narrow path.
A home according to YaHVaH’s purpose is one where a man is the head of the house and the wife is there to hold up his Hands. The children are to be in obedience. The man lends leadership and direction and provides for their wants. There, his wife and children feel safe and happy. That is where the children grow up safe and learn righteousness. In the absence of that man, his wife stands in. If the eldest son is old enough, he may be called upon to exercise the role of his father to the younger siblings..
When man and woman wander away from YaHVaH’s sanctified purpose, they fall into Ha Satan's trap. They marry and divorce and then remarry. They try to find happiness in marriage, but they can't find it; instead they drift deeper into the misery of remarriages. Marriage can be very undesirable when it fails. Some divorce just to get rid of their spouse only to find they need another. And so they remarry only to repeat their errors and miseries. And while many men and women sincerely believe that marrying more than one spouse is adultery and sin, did they not recognize that they are just simply doing what they believed to be wrong? If marriage is for life--many take that vow "till death do us part."--then divorce is a breach of marriage. And marrying a woman who is divorced is definitely adultery, nobody would like to hear this…… MattithYah (Matthew) Chapter 5:31-32 It was said, If a man sends his wife away, he must give her a certificate of divorce. Yet I say to you, one who sends away his wife, other than for the reason of promiscuity, brings her into the grasp of adulteries; and he who takes the divorced woman as a wife is an adulterer……
Romiyim (Romans) Chapter 7:1-3 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to them who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.
REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF YaH IS AT HAND, All you who erred, all who are heavy laden; come, YaHVaH will heal your backsliding and put you on the right path.
When a woman takes the role of a man, she rebels against YaHVaH, and the blessing is not there. Single unmarried motherhood is pitiful and painful. It brings forth children who grow up without the strong arms of leadership and direction of a father; many became wanderers and are a burden to society. Single unmarried motherhood is a scourge of our society, our nation, and to the KINGDOM OF YaHVaH. It was never His Majesty YaHVaH’s plan for the woman to be called upon to head the home. Children without fathers are fatherless and YaHVaH takes great pity on the fatherless (orphans) but He will not pity children of unmarried mothers. Hoshaah (Hosea) Chapter 2:4-5………. And a home without a father or mother is not a healthy home. A father provides leadership and direction and supplies all the needs, and a mother is for an arm of support to bring comfort, encouragement and tenderness to both father and children or when life gets difficult. A home without one or the other is not a healthy, vibrant home; it is void.
REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF YAHVAH IS AT HAND, All you who erred, all who are heavy laden; come, YaHVaH will heal your backsliding and put you on the right path.
The KINGDOM OF YaHVaH has come, but is it in your heart? Look around and search your heart. If it is not, the time has come for you to put your marriage in tune with YaHVaH’s great purpose. The KINGDOM OF YaHVaH begins in the home, YOUR HOME, should be a home where the walls are called "salvation" and the door, "praise." and all who lives within; and goes in and out of it, shall be saved.
Do you want such a home? Do you want the KINGDOM OF YaH in your heart and home? Write for more information or tell us your wish or desire. The Peace YaHVaH be with you,
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, (what knowledge? knowledge of YaHVaH). Because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me, seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy Elohim, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6
