  Speaker 1: pleasant and productive. Okay, and I hope that your week
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: adding up to this day or moving up to this
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: day was productive. I have something that I want to discuss.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, we are currently discussing
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it in the Sabbath lesson, but I want to just
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: build on how it's supposed to be. Okay. And we're
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: talking about marriage and the, the, The title to this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: lecture today is he who has a wife slash how
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: important is the institution of marriage. So I want to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: talk about that because it's very important. It is a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: very special interpersonal relationship. OK, so before I go into
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this discussion slash lecture. I want to say that I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: couldn't possibly provide you with everything that the scriptures have
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to say in regards to marriage. Just know that it
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is extremely important to have. And once that you are
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in a marriage, it's a very important institution. Okay. When
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: one is able to honor and obey the rules and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: regulations of the marriage. I also want you to know
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that today within the United States, statistics show that half
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of all marriages end in divorce. And this is serious.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But it's understandable simply because. The average person is a carnal,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: worldly person, okay? They haven't gotten in touch with their
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: spiritual side. So they pretty much know themselves, and this
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: is not in every case, they pretty much know themselves
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: as a earthly, worldly, carnal person, okay? And what does
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that mean in the world? I want stuff now. All
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of these expectations are unrealistic, blah, blah, blah. So once
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we know who we are spiritually, we know who we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: belong to, then we can act accordingly. But until then,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: people are just going to continue to behave in a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: carnal manner, okay? So that's why I said, um, it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: understandable that many divorces and, um, excuse me, many marriages
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and then divorce half because more than half actually, because
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: people don't see it as a spiritual institution. Okay. So, um,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and the average person doesn't understand spiritual things, nor do
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: they walk in the spirit in order to receive the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: spiritual understanding of how, um, spiritual marriage is and how
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it relates to the Most High. I'm a little congested
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm trying not to lose my voice so please
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: just be patient with me. So we will be discussing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: marriage today and the reason why is because all throughout
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the scriptures the quote-unquote union of both parties is um
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the most high and his chosen people are the main
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: characters of every cipher within the book of the bible
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and i'll just break it down even easier for you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to understand within those scriptures within the scriptures of the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: bible because there's 66 books little books big books in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: this one thing called the bible much of the running
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: theme is the union or marriage between the Most High
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and the children of Israel. We talk about this all
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the time, but now I'm building on it in regards
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to marriage because marriage mimics, a marriage between a man
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and a woman mimics the Most High's relationship between himself
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and his bride who are the children of Israel and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: later on the two flocks, okay? This is how important
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it is, okay? So like I said, within the scriptures,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the union of both parties, which is the Most High
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and his chosen people, are mimicked within each relationship, okay?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And that's how it's supposed to be, okay? It's a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: illustration of the Most High's relationship with his people. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that's what marriage is, okay? That illustration of how the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Most High is with his children slash bride slash assembly, okay?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And how you're supposed to conduct yourself in a marriage, okay?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Like I said, the running theme of the Seafirst is
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that the Most High has chosen and proclaimed a wife.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And this wife, even though he chose her and he
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: told her what to do and how to stay faithful,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: she's gone astray since the beginning. But in the end, she,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: as the assembly, the bride, will come back to the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Most High and be restored. But that's not until a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff has to happen. Because sometimes people
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: have to be shown what to do and not just
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: spoken to in regards to what they're supposed to do.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Because a lot of times people are not going to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: listen until they go through hell and high water and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: find out what it is. Okay? Okay. We are actually
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: reading about this now because we're in the book of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Hosea and he is being told to go get himself
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a woman as a hoe. Okay. And he has to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: deal with all of his woman's whorish ways. Okay. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this is not only embarrassing and a bad reflection on him,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: but also to the whole family. And this is why
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we're in the position we're in people. Okay, this is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: what the Most High is dealing with right now with
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: his children, who is Israel, both flocks. Okay, they have
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: been whoremongering for centuries. And this is why Jacob has trouble. Okay,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: aka Jacob is being humiliated. And while Jacob is being
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: humiliated for insubordination, refusing to adhere to the word of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the Most High and be connected in a marriage with
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the Most High. This allows other things to come into fruition,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: like the heathens being able to abuse the children and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: go all over the earth and tread down the earth
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: until their time is up, okay? Because when the children
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: don't listen, all kinds of stuff happens. It's not just
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: them being controlled by other heathen nations. It's the whole
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: world being under that control, okay? These things happen because
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the children refuse to turn from their wicked ways and repent.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And this is important because this marriage has rules and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: regulations that we, as the children of Israel and the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: second flock, need to abide by. I say all this
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to say that if marriage is sacred and it's a
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: strong institution, why does the average person not respect it?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You have to ask yourself the question. This is why
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: there's so many divorces. Never mind the spiritual institution of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: marriage that they are supposed to be adhering to as
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: directed to the children of Israel by the Most High.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Because everything is an illustration of how the Most High
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is treating children of Israel. And their marriage, their connection
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and their union. In the beginning of scripture, when Adam
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was created, he was alone. And the Most High did
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: not want Adam to be alone. So he created a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: quote-unquote helpmate for Adam so that he didn't have to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: be alone. And remember, what goes on on earth also
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: goes on in heaven, as the prayer says, on earth
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: as it is in heaven. So if you think about it,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Adam was never alone because the most high made Adam
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a mate before the foundation of the world before anyone
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: was made on earth so he already had a mate
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: before all of this okay spiritually he had a mate
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: before he was physically um connected to a mate and
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that So now I'm going to define marriage. And then
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to discuss how important it is when you're
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in the institution of marriage and how it relates to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the most high and his bride. Okay, because it's the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: illustration of the relationship between the most high and his bride. Okay.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So marriage, according to the Webster's Dictionary, is a noun.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And the synonyms of marriage is wedlock, matrimony, commitment, promise, attachment, betrothal. Okay,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and the definition is a few. So it's the state
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of being united as spouses in a contractual relationship recognized
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: by law. Okay, and then the second definition is the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: mutual relation of married persons, wedlock. Okay, they are related
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: by marriage. And the third is an intimate or close union,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the marriage of two people. Okay, and that is certainly
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: not the last of the definitions, but it's an important definition. definition,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the ones that I read. So we don't have to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: go any further. The importance of the institution of marriage
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: is something that people need to consider and keep in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the forefront of their mind. The word marriage appears in
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: early chapters of scripture as a part of the foundational
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: design for man. Genesis 2 and 24 says, For this reason,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a man will leave his father and his mother and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: This provides the foundation of biblical marriage, a man, a woman,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and a unique bond that unites them. It's a covenantal
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: bond that unites them in a life-long commitment. And there
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: are only two ways that this covenant, this special covenant,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: will be broken, okay? And that's either cheating or death.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Those are the only two ways they're supposed to be broken.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And this is all throughout the scriptures. I'm just giving
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you a little bit of FYIs in the scriptures. This
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: breaks the covenant. But remember, this is a spiritual marriage, okay?
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Malachi 2 and 14 refers to marriage as a covenant
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: with your wife, focusing on its sacred nature. Unlike legal agreements,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: biblical covenants involve a solemn binding commitment before the Most High.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: This understanding of marriage extends throughout both the Old and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: New Testaments, highlighting the divine aspect in uniting husband and wife.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: There are scriptures that discuss faithfulness in marriage. It often
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: uses a covenantal language tied to the Most High's own
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: faithfulness towards his people. This focuses on a key principle.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Just as the Most High remains faithful to his covenant promises,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: spouses are are called to match, meet, and measure up
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to that same steadfastness within the marriage bond. In terms
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of a marriage as one man and one woman, from
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the creation narrative forward, the scriptural pattern presents marriage uniquely
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: as the union of one man and one woman. Yeshua
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: cites Genesis when discussing marriage. And he says, from the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: beginning of creation, YAH made them male and female. For
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: this reason, a man will leave his father and his
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: mother and be united to his wife, and the two
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: will become one flesh. So they are no longer two,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: but one flesh. And that is Mark 10, 6-8. This
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: teaching resonates throughout the scripture and reiterates the passages that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Like Ephesians 5 and 31. For this reason, a man
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: will leave his father and his mother and be joined
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: You see how many times they talk about marriage? And
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: just an FYI, although having more than one wife, because
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that's also spoken of, may appear in certain narratives within
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the Old Testament. Careful reading reveals that these instances never
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: equate to the Most High's ideals presented at creation. and
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: reaffirmed by Yeshua, okay? So this means that even though
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: some people took more than one wife, it doesn't mean
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that you can, okay? And we also see this in
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Deuteronomy 17, 17, which is one of the 613 laws
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of the children of Israel, which we did discuss when
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I was reading the laws in 2021 and in 2022, okay? Okay?
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: So for any of those people who say, oh, yeah,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you can have more than one wife. That's not what
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it says. Deuteronomy 1717 speaks otherwise. Okay. And I already
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: said this in 2021 and reiterated in 2022. Okay. The
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: purpose and significance of this institution we call marriage. Biblically,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: marriage has multiple, excuse me, multiple dimensions of purpose. And
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: they're not listed in any specific order. I'm just putting
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: them together so that you understand the dimensions of marriage.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Companionship is a purpose and Genesis 2 and 18 states
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that it is not good for a man to be alone.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I will make for him a suitable helper. The complementary
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: nature of the husband and wife meets the man's relational needs.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: And then we have procreation, the purpose. of getting together.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: It's beneficial in nature, which the most high is beneficial.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I already told you, be fruitful and multiply. Everything that
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the most high does is beneficial. It doesn't hinder you, okay?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: The first command given to man was to be fruitful
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and multiply. Genesis 1 and 28 indicated that marriage is
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the design context for bearing and raising children, okay? Mutual support,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: which is another benefit. Marriage provides emotional, spiritual, and practical support.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Ecclesiastes 4 and 9 says the two are better than
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: one because they have a good return for their labor,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: explaining the cooperative relationship that marriage fosters. Another benefit and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: significant benefit part of marriage is unity. Genesis 2 and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: 24 says, becoming one flesh involves emotional, spiritual, and physical oneness, fruitfulness, okay?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Which is fruitfulness, that oneness, that coming together, okay? Genesis
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: 1 and 28, again, says that marriage supports the family
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: formation and raising faithful offspring, okay? Last, but certainly not least,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a reflection of divine love. In the New Testament, the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: marital relationship becomes the blueprint for Yahshua's relationship with the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: assembly and Yah's relationship in the Old Testament with the assembly,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: emphasizing sacrificial love and unity. Okay, and that would be
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Ephesians 5, 25 through 27. Now I'm going to give
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: you some marriage examples, okay? Beyond Genesis, other Old and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: New Testament passages provide us with solid explanations of the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: sacredness of marriage, okay? And like I said, it's not
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: in any particular order. I'm just listing. Marriage as Yah's
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: design is created by Yah and Eden Marriage began before sin,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: showing its foundational importance. And that's Genesis 2 and 24.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: And it establishes the pattern of leaving, cleaving, and becoming
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: one flesh. A covenant, which is more sacred than a contract.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: scripture consistently describes marriage as a covenant, binding, sacred, and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: witnessed by the Most High. Hosea's covenant, which is an example,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and commitment to Goma, even though she's a whore, which
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: gives us an example of Hosea's steadfast love mirroring the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Most High's faithfulness to Israel. And that's Hosea 1 through 3,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: which I actually read. Remember, we are in Hosea. If
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Ruth's loyalty to Naomi and subsequent marriage to Boaz, which
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: underscores the importance of redemption and covenant functions within family life.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And that's, um, the book of Ruth one through four.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: And that is very important because, uh, in a marriage,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: you want to be loyal. You want to be faithful. Okay. And, um,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: It's not only a piece of paper, okay? You can
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: call different types of interpersonal relationships marriages, okay? As long
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: as you have the same formula that's used in a marriage,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: like being faithful, okay? And loyal. Even friendships have that.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: It's like a marriage, okay? Because you can mess up
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: a friendship And you will have a loss just like
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it is marriage, okay? So marriage reflects the Most High's character.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: It's an illustration of Yahshua and the assembly from the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: children of Israel. Paul, Shaul, teaches us that marriage mirrors
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Yahshua's sacrificial love and the children's devotion, okay? And it's
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Ephesians 5. 25 to 32. A living metaphor of the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: good news, which is the gospel. Husbands and wives demonstrate grace, forgiveness,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and unity, revealing the Most High's character in the world. Okay,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: this is how important marriage is. Marriage matters to the
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Most High because it's built to reflect his image. Male
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and female together bear the Most High's image in a unique,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: rational way. Marriage's importance to Yah is rooted in creation, covenant,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and its role as a living picture of Yah's love
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and faithfulness. It strengthens society, marriage. Scripture and research show
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: marriages live according to the Most High's design, produce stability
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and resilience. It teaches divine love. The covenantal nature of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: marriage mirrors the Most High's unwavering commitment to his people.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And last but not least, marriage is important, but not only.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Let me say this again. Marriage is important, but not
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the only calling, okay? It's not the only calling for
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you to be married, okay? While marriage is deeply significant,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: scripture also honors singleness. Its importance does not diminish the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: value of those who are unmarried, rather it highlights the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: most highest purposes for those called to marriage, meaning if
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: you're not married, it's I'm not going to say it's
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: not a big sin, but it's not such a big
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: deal that you just got to go grab anybody. Remember,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: marriage is a spiritual thing. Marriage is just not, oh,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go get myself a man because that's
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: not how it works. Scripture says, and Solomon is the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: one who said it, that wait for the most high
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to send you your mate. And that's the problem why
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: half of marriages, especially in the United States, And then
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: divorce because they're not spiritual enough to understand that you
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: must wait for your mate. You must wait for your mate.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: You just don't grab somebody and go, oh yeah, God
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: told me to do this and do that. And the
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, six months, 10 months, a year,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: five years later, you're getting a divorce. No, no, no, no, no.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: You must wait for the most hard to send you
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: your mate. This is spiritual. This is not, oh, I'm
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: going to go grab me anybody. And this is why
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: people are disillusioned with marriage because they have no idea
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: what marriage really is. It's a spiritual thing. It's not, oh,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to go get me somebody of flesh, honey.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go get me a man or I'm
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: going to go get me a woman or any piece
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of man or any piece of woman will do. I'm
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: going to sit here and I'm going to suffer and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going to allow them to do whatever for the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: sake of being married or in a marriage. That's not
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: what it's about. Okay. Okay. Some people wait as long
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: as it takes for them to get a mate that
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the Most High sends them. And I'm going to tell
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you why. You have to be ready for marriage. Okay?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Marriage is just not a word. Marriage is just not
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: an experience. You have to be ready for marriage. Just
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: like the prophets had to be ready for prophecy. In
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: order for them to be ready for prophecy, they had
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: to be built ready. Like sparring athletes. Because the things
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that the Most High was putting on them was heavy.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And that's how marriage is too. When you take those
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: vows and those words come down, they mean something. You're
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: not going to always be in the best state. You're
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: not going to always be healthy. You're not going to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: always be emotionally functioned in a clear head space. Things
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: are going to happen that's going to change you. Either
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: you're going to stagnate or you're going to grow. But
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: if you're in that marriage, then you help one another.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: And this is what it's about. It's not about, oh,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go get me somebody. Oh, I got
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: me a man. I got me a husband. I got
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: me a wife. I got me a woman. No. It's
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: about learning and growing. Learning how to become one. Okay?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Learning to sacrifice. Learning to come together. You're not going
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to always want the same things. You're not going to
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: always like that person you're married to. OK, so like
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I said, just like the most high had to whip
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the prophets in shape for prophecy to communicate it. That's
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: how the most high has to get you. The most
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: high has to whip you in shape to be a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: good husband or a good wife to whoever it is
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that he's going to bring in your life. And that
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: person is going to compliment you. Is that person going
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to always be your favorite person in the world? No.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Because everybody loves the thought of being married. But everybody
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: can't handle the situation of marriage, number one. And number two,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: people take it upon themselves to go get married to
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: somebody because they want a man or a woman. Instead
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: of improving yourself, allowing the most high to deal with
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you so that he can send you the mate that
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: you deserve and you stay together. And that's how it's
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: supposed to be. Okay? So we see how marriage is
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: extremely important to the Most High because he created it
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: as a sacred covenant, okay? And we go back to
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Genesis 2 and 24 that reflects his faithfulness and the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: relationship between the Most High, who is Yeshua in the flesh,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and the assembly. And this also points to Ephesians 5,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: 25 through 32. So this is not just a legal
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: or emotional arrangement, okay? but a divine institution designed for unity, holiness, companionship,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and displaying the Most High's glory, perfection, and love. Okay?
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to mimic the Most High when you're in
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: a marriage. Okay? So now I'm going to read some
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: scriptures in regards to marriage. And like I said, this
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: is not... I can definitely... build on what the scriptures
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: say in regards to marriage. But I'm trying to make
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: it as short as sweet as possible because it's huge, okay?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: But I need you to know how wonderful it can
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: be once it's done correctly, okay? So I'm going to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: read some scriptures. And these are scriptural verses regarding marriage. Now,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: by no means, like I said, is this every... scripture,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: but it's some important scriptures in regards to marriage. Like
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I said, this whole book, the whole book of the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: children of Israel, which they call the Bible today, but
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: all of the sephirs within that book of the Bible
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: is an illustration of the connection or the marriage between
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the Mosai and the children of Israel and their faithfulness
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and faithlessness and what happens when they're not faithful in
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the marriage. That's what this whole book is about. Okay,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: so Genesis 2 and 18, all from the ESV, English
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Standard Version, when the Most High said, it is not
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: good that man should be alone. I will make for
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: him a helper. Okay. And then Genesis 2 and 24
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: says this. Therefore, a man shall leave his father and
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: his mother and hold fast to his wife and they
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: shall become one flesh. Now, remember I said this was
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: done before the foundation of the world. So it was
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: already done in heaven before it was done on earth.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: So therefore, you know that a man and a woman
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be together. Okay. Oh, that's a loaded one.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I could definitely go somewhere else with that, but I'm
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: just letting you know. Okay. Okay. Hebrews, and I'm going
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to be reading Old and New Testament scriptures, okay? Hebrews
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: 13 and 4, all ESV, English Danvers. Let marriage be
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: be undefiled. For the Most High will judge the sexually
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: immoral and the adulterous. Okay? Proverbs 18 and 22, and
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is my favorite one he who
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: from the most high that's one of my favorite ones
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: because my husband is definitely definitely lucky to have me
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: okay um second corinthians 6 and 14 Do not be
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: unequally yoked with unbelievers. Say what? This is why there's
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: a half divorce rate, a large percentage. Do not be
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: unequally yoked with unbelievers. This is the desperate people that's
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: just going to grab anybody. For what partnership has righteousness
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? That's right.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Some people just connect their little wagons onto anybody, right?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: And it's not good. It's not good. Okay? 1 Peter
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: 3 and 7. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: That's right. And we know in the scriptures that a
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: lot of times these situations are focused on men and
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: less about women, even though women have an equal experience
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: in the scriptures. Okay. Just like there's male prophets and
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: male prophets. men, male men, guys that led the nations
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: of Israel in war and whatever else, there's also females
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: that have done that. There's prophetesses and there's females that
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: have led wars. There have been female queens, et cetera,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: et cetera, except it's not a focus on them. It's
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: a focus more on males, whereas females have also done
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: some spectacular things within these scriptures. And they have been
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: more than helpers in the scriptures, okay? They have taken
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: leadership roles and they are the navigators to the captains.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It just is what it is, okay? They're just as
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: important as mail. I'm drinking, sorry. Mark 10 and 9.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: What therefore the Most High has joined together, let no
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: man separate. And that is actually a part of vows.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: That's right. Let no man separate. What the Most High
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: has joined together. This is what I mean in regards
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: to having a mate. And allowing the Most High to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: send you your mate. This way, nobody can separate it. Nobody. Okay?
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Even on your worst day of matrimony, no man can
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: separate it if the Most High sent you your mate. Okay?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Matthew 19 and 9. And I say to you, whoever
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: divorces his wife except for sexual immorality and marries another
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: commits adultery. Now that's a loaded one. And I will
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: say this again. Some people take it upon themselves to
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: grab who they believe is going to be a good
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: partner to them. And then later on down the line,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: they get a divorce. Why? Because they're living carnally. They're
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: thinking carnally. They're behaving carnally. Their outlook is carnal. That's why.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: They're not in the will of the most high. They
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: haven't elevated. The most high has not worked on them.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: The most high has not put them in a position
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: to be able to have a life partner. They did
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it all on their own. They keep talking about, oh yeah,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: God sent me this person. Okay, fine. God did send
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: you that, but not the most high. Okay? 1 Corinthians
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: 7 and 39. A wife is bound to her husband
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: as long as he lives. But if her husband dies,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: she is free to be married to whom she wishes
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: only in the most high. I already told you there's
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: two ways to break the covenant according to the most
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: high sexual immorality or death. That's the end of the contract. Okay.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Of marriage. That's the end. OK, because you're not faithful.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: You broke the contract and you die. The contract is
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: broken because the other person is gone. So that is
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: how the Most High makes it. When you're in the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: true will of the Most High, you're in the spiritual
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: will of the Most High. OK, Colossians 3, 18 and 19. Wives,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: submit to your husbands. As is fitting to the most high. Husbands,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: love your wives and do not be harsh with them
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: or to them. Okay. Mark 10, 8 through 12. And
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I think I read a piece of it, but I'm
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: going to read the whole thing because I already read
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: one piece, which I read Mark 10 and 9. What
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: it says here, and the two shall become one flesh
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: What the what therefore the most high has joined together,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: let no man separate and in the house. The disciples
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: asked him again, what about this manna? This manna, excuse me.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: And he said to them, whoever divorces his wife and
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: marries another commits adultery against her. And if she divorces
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: her husband and marries another, she commits adultery. So that's
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: what the Most High is saying. He specifically, who is
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Yeshua in the flesh? He's specifically letting you know. There's
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: only two ways that you could get out of that contract.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: But the thing is this. So if one person does
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: commit adultery and you do divorce her and you marry
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: somebody else, you commit an adultery because marriage is supposed
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: to be for the lifetime of the people in the contract. Okay. Okay.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: And today, it's not honored. Today is anything goes when
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: it comes to hoes. That's why I keep saying the
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: stuff I say. Some people think like, what is she saying?
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Why does she keep saying all this crazy stuff? I'm
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: telling you why I'm saying it. Because I'm going according
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: to the scriptures. Anything does go when it comes to
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: a hoe. Because a hoe will allow you to do
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: anything to them as long as you're paying them, as
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: long as you're giving them what they want. And this
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: is what's going on in these marriages. You don't get
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: what you want, you leave it. Okay, I'm going to
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: pimp myself until I can get everything I want and
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: then when I can't get it no more, I'm out.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: That's not how it's supposed to be. Okay? 1 Corinthians
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: 7 and 2, but because of the temptation of sexual immorality,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: each man should have his own wife and each woman
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: her own husband. Now, Shaul says this, but again, I
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: would have to refer to Solomon, who was the smartest
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: person ever. And he says, wait for the most high
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: to send you your mate. You don't just go and
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: grab anybody. Okay. You don't just go and grab anybody.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: You have to be able to be in a marriage.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: And please don't misunderstand me when I say um the
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: marriage is um meant for a lifelong commitment and you're
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: not able to fulfill that commitment that means your marriage
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: is dysfunctional so what's the point of getting marriage um
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: getting into the um institution of marriage. There are some
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: people that have been married for a long time, but
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: guess what? They're not together. Okay. On paper, they're together,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: but not intimately. They don't live together or they're together
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: and they have their own separate lives. But on paper,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: they're together and it is cheaper to keep or it's
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: cheaper to keep him. And they stay in the same house,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: but they live totally different lives. And people look at
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: them like they marry, but they really are not. They're
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: two single people living together under the piece of paper
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: because they don't want to get a divorce. It's too expensive.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: And when I say expensive, I mean to half and
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: everything else up the house, the this, the that, and
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: to let the whole world know that they really are
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: not in a loving relationship. The cost is too great
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: for them. So they'll just live their separate lives in
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: this charade of a marriage. And I know many people
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: like that. Many. So again, marriage. Marriage is spiritual. Marriage
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: is something that the Most High will bless when you're
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: in his will. And anything aside from that, it's not
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: even real. Okay. The last thing I want to say
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: in regards to having more than one spouse, I will
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: read Deuteronomy 17, 17, and it says this. This is
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: in regards to having more than one wife because there's
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of people who call themselves following the most
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: high and they got more than one spouse. And it's
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: just nonsense. And this is what Deuteronomy says because this
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: is one of the 613 laws. This is what it says.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Neither shall he multiply wives to himself. that his heart
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: turn not away, neither shall he greatly multiply to himself
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: silver or gold. Now, it means this, because the Most
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: High said, if you put anything before me, then you're
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: not worthy of me. So that means the Most High
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: is first in your life. He's supposed to be first.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: So having more of anything, having more of anything, wives, gold, silver, horses, houses, boats, whatever,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: that's idolatry because you put in things before the Most High.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: So a part of the law is you don't have
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: things and put them before the Most High. And again,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: you shall not multiply things to yourself because that's idolatry.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: And the first thing the Most High says in regards
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: to that is wives. So one is enough. Because the
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: most highest blessing marriage with one man and one woman. Okay?
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: And like I said, I can totally go somewhere else
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: with it. But I'm not even going to go there. Okay? So,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: with that being said, I hope that you learned a
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: little more about marriage. And as we continue to... talk
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: about how dysfunctional marriages are, especially with Hosea. Hopefully we
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: can learn that healthy marriage is something that we strive
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: for and the most I strive for too, because his
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: bride is suffering right now. Okay. And he is dealing
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: with her. and rebuking her, but she will be restored
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: in the end. The bride, the assembly of the Most High,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: will be restored in the end. So even though Jacob
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: has trouble now, he's being humiliated because he is breaking wedlock,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: there will be a time when the reunification of the bride,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: which is the assembly, will be reunified with the Most High.
