    A Temporary Throne – 28

    CHAPTER 28

    Genesis 17: 4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you…

    I AM ALMIGHTY GOD. MY COVENANT IS THROUGH ABRAHAM. MY COVENANT IS THROUGH NOAH. THE SEED OF ABRAHAM IS THE SEED OF NOAH, THE SEED OF MY FRUIT THROUGH ADAM.

    “Did Sarah love Abraham? How could she, after he had selfishly given her to Pharaoh? And if she loved Abraham, how could Sarah give Hagar to him as a wife?”

    SARAH HONORED AND OBEYED ABRAHAM.

    SARAH KEPT HER WORD AND HER PROMISE.

    SARAH LOVED ABRAHAM FOR MY SAKE; FOR SARAH LOVED ME MORE THAN ANY MAN.

    “It isn’t the same love, as the love between a man and his wife when they become one in the flesh.”

    LOVE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN IS MORE THAN THE FLESH; BUT WE WILL TALK OF THAT LATER.  

    ABRAHAM LOVED HIS GOD. SARAH LOVED HER GOD. HAGAR ACKNOWLEDGED MY LOVE AS WELL. I AM LOVE.

    “And Abraham had another wife after Hagar was gone and Sarah had died; and they too had more children.”

    A MAN AND HIS WIFE BECOME ONE FLESH,

    TWO JOINED AS ONE TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY.

    THROUGH THEM I GIVE LIFE, IMAGE OF MY OWN LOVE FOR YOU.

    A Temporary Throne – 26

    CHAPTER 26

    Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

     

    YOU KNOW THIS. YOU KNOW YOUR WIFE. ROGER, YOU ARE JOINED TO YOUR WIFE.

    (THE LORD spoke her name to me, which I am not to speak to you.)

    I HAVE JOINED YOU INTO ONE FLESH. NO MAN OR NO WOMAN MAY SEPARATE WHAT I HAVE JOINED BY THE FLESH OF A MAN TO THE FLESH OF A WOMAN.

    ALL CHILDREN BORN OF THE SEED OF MAN ARE THE FRUIT OF MY CREATION INTO THE WOMB OF MY CREATED.

    “LORD, from before I was born, you knew me in my mother’s womb.” (Jeremiah 1:5)

    THEREFORE, A MAN MUST NOT BE JOINED TO ANOTHER WOMAN OR A WOMAN TO ANOTHER MAN; FOR IN THE FLESH, I HAVE JOINED THEM. I AM THE LORD.

    “LORD, though I am joined to my wife, it is more the desire of my heart that aches in brokenness that pierces my spirit.

    ROGER, I WILL SHOW YOU THE HEART OF MARRIAGE; FOR YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR YOUR MARRIAGE FROM YOUR HEART.

    YOUR HEART DESIRES TO KNOW THE HEART OF MY COVENANT FOR MARRIAGE. IT IS NOT GOOD THAT MAN SHOULD BE ALONE.

     

    WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MARRIAGE OF MY SERVANT, ABRAHAM, ROGER?

    A Temporary Throne – 24

    CHAPTER 24

    And I thought more. Could the LORD not choose more than one people? (Perhaps a family on every continent…) Then I remembered: even in Noah’s descendants, sin remained … and more-so in the family of Ham and Canaan, whom God had already cursed.

    Perhaps if God could model His Righteousness through the descendants of Shem (for now), and then through the descendants of Japheth, later: I thought…

    Then I remembered that along with the curse of Canaan and the blessing of Shem (of the line of the fathers of Abram), Noah’s additional blessing of Japheth.

    Genesis 9: 27 May God enlarge Japheth,
    And may he dwell in the tents of Shem;
    And may Canaan be his servant.”

    THESE YOU CALL, ‘GENTILES,’ WHO RECEIVED MY BLESSING THROUGH THE JEWS BORN OF THE SEED OF SHEM.

    God’s omniscience (now evident to me), limiting the sin of the limited knowledge of mankind. I could not bless a man more sinful than Abraham; who like all fathers of faith demonstrated (along with their faith), sin enough.

    (Perhaps even like Abram, I would have allowed the blessing of my wife from God to go to a man of more wealth and power even to save my own neck. But the Lord returned Sarah from Pharaoh to Abraham.)

    I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING.

    “Yes, Lord, You know. I am grieved over the covenant of marriage.”

    MAN, IN HIS AND HER OWN KNOWLEDGE, HAS NOT CHOSEN WISELY.

    (I knew that by “man,” the Lord meant ‘man from dust and woman from man’ – ALL mankind.)

    “Lord, you know our hearts. Can you not change this?”
