    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 – 25

    CHAPTER 25

    The LORD had given me great latitude from the THRONE of Heaven to make a choice other than HIS ALL-KNOWING blessings (and HIS ALL-KNOWING curses).

    But how was I to understand HIS UNDERSTANDING of marriage, for which THE LORD had brought me to the very THRONE of Heaven? … (I thought, before proceeding in thought or word…)

    Genesis 2: 18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone…

    My other thoughts, fully revealed to THE LIVING GOD; but freely shared and received, as in conversation of two friends…

    “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh…”
    … and they shall become one flesh.

     

    I KNOW, ROGER, THIS IS YOUR HEART,

    comforted my FRIEND.

    I HAVE SHOWN YOU THE FATHER OF ALL FLESH AND THE MOTHER OF ALL DESIRE.

    I HAVE SHOWN YOU THE EXAMPLE OF NOAH AND THE SINS OF ALL KINDS AND THE NAKEDNESS OF MAN BEFORE ME, EVIL FROM THEIR HEARTS FROM THEIR VERY YOUTH.

    YOU HAVE SEEN THE SIN OF CANAAN UPON MY SERVANT NOAH.

    SHALL I REVEAL ALL THE SIN OF SODOM TO YOU?

    “LORD, no, Lord, if YOU please.

    I know that YOU hate and punish the sin, while you would call the sinner, if they would hear, to repentance rather than destruction.

    Lord I know that these who I love as well, choose love of their flesh over YOU.”

    Malachi 3: 6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
    7 Yet from the days of your fathers you have gone away from My ordinances and have not kept them.

    Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says the Lord of hosts.

    Personal note: Today is the Seventh wedding anniversary of the marriage vows of my Blessing and me, our covenant made in the Name of God taken on 7/7/2007.
    Please pray for us and for all marriages between a Christian man and a Christian woman, blessed in our vows and love for each other and for our Lord, Christ Jesus.

    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?”
