‘Who’ Moved…?
What
about Remarriage after Divorce…? IF either partner has NOT Remarried, then “Reconciliation is Possible!”
But only: in Christ Jesus and in Obedience to His Holy Word. But if either
party has ‘Remarried’ they cannot return to their Original Spouse: for they are
“Defiled!”
*** (Deuteronomy 24:1-to-4) When
a man has taken a wife and married her, and it happens that she finds no
favor in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness in her, then let him write her a bill of divorce
and put it in her hand, and
send her out of his house.
(Deut 24:2) And when she has
departed from his house, she goes and
becomes another man's;
(Deut 24:3) and the latter husband hates her and
writes her a bill of divorce and puts it
in her hand and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband Dies, he who took her to be his wife
(Deut 24:4) her former husband, who sent her away, may
NOT: take her again to be his Wife after she is “Defiled”. For that is hateful before The LORD. And “You”
shall ‘Not’ cause the land to sin, which The LORD Your God gives “You” for an
inheritance.
What about
Adultery… before there is a Divorce: Especially when “Both”: are
‘Supposedly Practicing Christians?’ Will either submit to this Scriptural Test…?
Would “You”…? When faced with God’s Direct Judgment: what will be their
response…? [Matthew 18:15-to-18]
*** (Numbers 5:18-to-29) And the priest shall set the woman before
The LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the reminding offering in
her hands, which is the
jealousy offering. And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that
causes the curse.
(Num 5:19) And the priest shall charge her by an oath,
and say to the woman, If no man has lain with ‘‘You’’, and if “You” have not
gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, “You” are free from this bitter water that causes the curse.
(Num 5:20) But if
“You” have gone aside, being under your husband; and if “You” are defiled
and some man besides your husband has
given his semen to ‘‘You’’,
(Num 5:21) then the priest
shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing. And the priest shall say to the
woman, The LORD make “You” a curse and an oath among your people, when The LORD
makes your thigh to fall away and your belly to swell.
(Num 5:22) And
this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels to make your belly swell and your thigh fall
away. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
(Num 5:23) And the priest shall write these curses in a
book, and he shall blot them
out with the bitter water.
(Num 5:24) And he
shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse. And
the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
(Num 5:25) Then the priest shall take the jealousy
offering out of the woman's hand and shall wave the offering before The LORD,
and offer it upon the altar.
(Num 5:26) And the priest shall take a handful of the
offering, as a memorial of it, and burn it
upon the altar, and afterward he
shall cause the woman to drink the water.
(Num 5:27) And when he has made her drink the water,
then it shall be, if she is defiled and
has committed a trespass against her husband, the water that causes the curse
shall enter into her and become bitter.
And her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away. And the woman shall
be a curse among her people.
(Num 5:28) And if the woman is not defiled, but is
clean, then she shall be clean, and shall conceive seed.
(Num 5:29) This is
the law of jealousies when a woman goes aside, being under her husband, and is
defiled.
Is there an
example… of “Permitted Divorce” as a matter of the ‘National Repentance’ of
Israel: by “God’s ‘Chosen People & Nation”…? Yes there is and it happened
after the return of Israel to Jerusalem: after the “70 – year” Babylon
captivity. How hard could it be: to send away your “Wife & Children” to
exile…? It is simply the “Cost of Obedience” to the GOD: Who chose Israel and
the people to be His witness to the nations! [2Chronicles 6:32-33]
*** (Ezra 10:1-to-6) And when Ezra had prayed, and when he had
confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there
gathered to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and
children, for the people wept with
a great weeping.
(Ezra 10:2) And Shechaniah the
son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, now there is
hope in Israel concerning this thing.
(Ezra 10:3) And now let us make a covenant with our God to ‘Divorce’ all the women, and
such as have been born of them, according to the counsel of the Lord, and of
those who tremble at the commandment of our God. And let it be done
according to the Law.
(Ezra 10:4) Arise, for this matter belongs to ‘‘You’’. We also will be with ‘‘You’’. Be of good courage and act.
(Ezra 10:5) Then Ezra arose and
made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel to swear that they should
do according to this word. And they swore.
(Ezra 10:6) Then Ezra rose up
from before the house of God and went into the room of Johanan the son of
Eliashib. And he went there, and he ate no bread nor drank water. For he mourned because of the sin of those
who had been exiled.
Yet Israel was
returning… from their “70-year” Babylon captivity. “Jerusalem” was given
back to “Israel”; with the ‘People’ and the ‘Temple!’ [Ezra, Nehemiah &
Ester] God was once again going to restore His people: to the witness they once
had. He could ‘NOT’ have a: “Mixed Message!” Especially with a family serving
BOTH: God and some “Heathen Idol.” [Luke 14:26-27] This command by Ezra and the
Covenant of Divorce was… “Israel Specific!”
Can it be applied to… the NT Believer,
as we do not have “Temple Worship & Temple Sacrifice!” BUT… If a couple are
already married and one of them comes to Christ Jesus: they are “Not to
Divorce”. Perhaps read & memorize… “Luke 14:26-27”… and see the Cost of
Discipleship? What about “Proverbs
28:13” & “Romans 6:1-2”…?
HOW does it apply to the NT… “Israel of God…? [Galatians 6:16] and a
couple that is NOW: Living IN: Remarriage Adultery…?
What about those who Recognize… that
their “Remarriage was Adultery”…? Should they continue to “Live Together” in
that Adulterous Relationship…? May I say that “YOU NEED TO OBEY GOD”…! What
would happen in our Nation: with a “Real Holy Spirit Revival”…? God could turn
our “Sinful Debauched American” nation ‘Around’: and back to His Holy Word! But
that will ‘Not’ happen! It ‘DID’ only ‘Partially’ happen with Israel: after the
“70-year Babylon Captivity!” But only for a short time! They ‘SOON’: returned
to their SIN and were worse off! American Christians are too “Filled with a
‘False’ Pride!”
Did Any NT American Christians REPENT:
after the “9-11” terrorist attack…? Was there any “National Revival…?
Sorry. “NO!” And like the OT Jews of Christ Jesus’ day: American Christians
will: “Not Repent” of their: “Remarriage Adultery!” It is my belief that the
Scriptures teach: “NOT To Continue In “SIN/SINS” – “Romans 6:1-2” &
“Proverbs 28:13”…! Should they continue in the: “Blessings & Benefits” of a
LIKE: God Sanctioned Marriage? But need to be a Witness to Others: who do ‘Not’
have such a “Holy Spirit Conviction!” That way they would NO longer be a
“Witness for License”…! [Jude 1:3-4]
*** (1Corinthains 7:12-ti-17) I (not the Lord) say to the rest of ‘‘You’’:
If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to live with
him, he must not abandon her.
(1Cor 7:13) And if a woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he
is willing to live with her, she must not abandon him.
(1Cor 7:14) For the unbelieving
husband has been sanctified because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife has
been sanctified because of her husband. Otherwise, your children would be
unclean, but now they are holy.
(1Cor 7:15) But if the unbelieving partner leaves, let him go. In such
cases the brother or sister is not bound; God has called “You” to live in peace. [KEY: 1Peter 4:1-2]
(1Cor 7:16) Wife, how do “You” know
whether “You” will save your husband? Husband, how do “You” know whether “You” will
save your wife?
(1Cor 7:17) Nevertheless, everyone should live the life that the Lord
gave him and to which God called him. This is my rule in all the churches.
*** (2Peter 3:9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that ANY
should perish, but that ALL should come
to Repentance.
*** (Acts 17:30-31) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now [Strictly] Commands ALL men everywhere to Repent:
(Acts 17:31) Because He hath appointed a day, in which He
will judge the world in righteousness by that man [Christ Jesus] Whom: He hath
ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto ALL men; in that He [God] has
raised Him [Jesus] from the dead. [John
10:17-18]
*** (Luke 3:8) Therefore, bring forth fruits worthy of repentance;
and do not begin to say within yourselves; We have Abraham for our father. For I [Jesus] say to you;
that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
