GOD'S Marriage Laws
Part III

Beware Of Living In
Whoredom

          "But (because of his disobedience) I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself:  his seed is spoiled (Esau married the wives of other men), and his brethren (his children), and his neighbours (his family), and he is not.

          "Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in Me."

Jeremiah 49:10-11
Ezra 10:2-3,10-11

          Definition:  The above word "widows" is from the Hebrew 'almânâh defined as a widow; also a desolate place [translated desolate house (palace), widow].   It's the feminine of 'almân in the sense of bereavement; discarded (as a divorced person):  translated forsaken.   (See John Strong's Hebrew Lexicon #490 and #488).

          Humanity's Secular Laws:  Some nations require a potential husband and wife to purchase a State issued marriage license.   The parties involved may then go to a Justice of the Peace and the State officially pronounces them man and wife or husband and wife.   Thus, the State defines that to be a "marriage".   This is regardless of whether the "marriage" was then consummated or not or regardless of whether the woman was a virgin or already married to another under GOD'S marriage laws.

          A socially accepted alternate approach after acquiring the State license is for the couple to enlist the equivalent services of a Religious entity to perform the role of the State's approved Justice of the Peace.   Only now the Religious entity acts as a pseudo GOD to pronounce the man and woman to be husband and wife while claiming the "marriage" to be under GOD and/or performed in accordance with GOD'S laws.   This, of course, is far, far from the truth.

          Remember, the marriage license is only a State permit to get "married" and usurps the authority of the father of the bride to permit his daughter to marry.

          The Laws Of The State Do Not Resemble GOD'S Laws:  Again, a bona fide marriage under GOD requires the maiden to be a virgin and requires approval by the maiden's father or authorized guardian acting in the father's stead.   GOD does not require a State license nor anyone to pronounce the parties husband and wife.   And GOD does not sanction any marriages of a man to another man's wife excepting in the case of a concubine.   Remember, sex with a virgin is instant marriage under GOD.   And all else is whoredom in the eyes of GOD.

          "And I (Jesus) say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his (legitimate) wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another (another man's wife), committeth adultery:  and whoso marrieth her which is put away (another man's wife) doth commit adultery."

Matthew 19:9
See 19:3-9
Exodus 21:10

          "But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding:  he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul."

Proverbs 6:32
Isaiah 9:16-19

          "But GOD came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife (married to an husband)...

          "Now therefore restore the man (Abraham) his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live:  and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine."

Genesis 20:3-7

          Misleading The Citizenry:  Matters are very serious when State and Religious entities fraudulently deceive people into believing that they are acting under GOD and/or acting in accordance with GOD'S marriage laws.   The more serious aspect is that State and Religious entities frequently "marry" individuals into whoredom under GOD.   And in these cases no legitimate marriage under GOD ever existed between parties.   Thus, multitudes have been fraudulently deceived into living in whoredom in the eyes of GOD.

          Here it should be recognized that a State marriage license is a license to get married ... not a license to live in whoredom.   And neither a Justice of the Peace nor Religious entity can legally authorize whoredom either under man's laws or under GOD'S laws.

          "What?   know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?   for two, saith He, shall be one flesh."

I Corinthians 6:16

          Prostitution is Illegal:  Furthermore, when there is no marriage under GOD'S laws, there is no requirement for a divorce because a legitimate marriage under GOD never existed.   That is, as in the situation of Abraham, Hagar, and Ishmael ... GOD told Abraham to send Hagar and her child away, a grievous task for Abraham (Genesis 21:9-14; Jeremiah 49:10-11).   So, when people realize that they have been fraudulently deceived into living in whoredom ... they should also realize that there are laws against prostitution and paying for such services.   Therefore, when people realize the potential consequences of living in whoredom under GOD and choose to depart from such sinful relations, a simple separation is one thing but giving the woman (someone else's wife) up to fifty percent or more of your assets (the house, car, business, bank accounts, etc.) for her services constitutes payment for illegal prostitution.

          "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

          "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."

Revelation 22:14-15
I Corinthians 6:9-10

          The Age Of Lawlessness:  In modern Christianity, for example, religious entities proclaim that two "ages" have existed:  the age of law (meaning the period before the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ) and the age of grace also called the church age (which commenced after the resurrection of Jesus Christ).   The latter period should more correctly be called the age of lawlessness wherein GOD'S righteous laws have been disregarded and denounced by followers of the Religious Beast.   Yet, grace is not and never has been a license to sin despite what the Religious Beast may proclaim.

          These ages (the age of law and the church age) are strictly and obviously unBiblical.   Whereas, the grace of GOD and GOD'S righteous laws have been with man from the beginning as in the beginning GOD even opened the door of Salvation to all who truly seek to obey Him.   Subsequently, those who violate His righteous laws and those who teach others so may soon find themselves amongst the rejected, the Tares or outcasts, who number "as the sand of the sea" (Revelation 20:8; Amos 9:10-11; Deuteronomy 30:1-3; Isaiah 56:1-8; Matthew 5:17-19).

          Eschatologists are concerned with the ultimate or last things such as death, judgment, heaven, and hell.   So, by definition most people are concerned with eschatology.   In turn, the Scriptures speak of an endless earth (Isaiah 45:17-18) although the Scriptures themselves are focused on an era leading unto "the end of these wonders" (Daniel 12:6-7).   And this period extends unto the completion of a time, times, and a half time (i.e. three and one half thousand years from the 5 BC Birth of Christ) (Daniel 12:7; 7:25; Revelation 12:14).   Therein, Scripture speaks of three major groups separating to form the Branch or Southland as opposed to "the land of the North" (this world under Satan's dominion).   They are: (1) the Firstfruits who enter first (Revelation 14:1-5; Daniel 7:13-14); next, (2) a Main Harvest enters 1,000 years later (Revelation 7:9,14; Daniel 7:21-22); and, lastly (3) the Latter Harvest, prefigured by the Gleanings, enter 1,500 years after the Firstfruits (Revelation 6:11; 20:4,11-15; Daniel 7:25).   Meanwhile, a great tribulation "of long continuance" will have come upon the Tares, the outcasts (Deuteronomy 28:15-68).

          Therefore, people unconcerned with obeying GOD'S laws, including those dwelling in whoredom under GOD, will have 1,000 years; 1,500 years; or an eternity of troubles and afflictions to contemplate their lawlessness and those who misled them into such a lifestyle.   Again, people ought to heed the Word Of GOD or they will surely suffer the consequences (Revelation 19:12-13; 18:4; Jeremiah 51:6).

"No Man Can Serve Two Masters...
Ye Cannot Serve GOD And Mammon."

Matthew 6:24

          Procrastinators continuing in sinful ways may be in for a big surprise.   That is, when Jesus comes to separate the sheep from the goats, many may find themselves already separated with the goats.   Much earlier, the Betrothal of the Firstfruits will have been well established and the door to Salvation closed for a 1,000 years (Matthew 25:31-34,41; 7:21-23; Hosea 4:14; Proverbs 3:7; 14:16).

          "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."

James 4:17
I John 3:4,7-8
