Marriage Covenant:
Marriage is Based in and on Covenant, FAMILY. When a man and woman marry, the
moment they say I do, Yahuweh
stands as a witness to the marriage sealing it with the strongest
possible word: “Covenant” (Hebrew berit) “Covenant” speaks of
faithfulness and enduring commitment.
Divorce is described as “Violence,” because it does violence to
Yahuweh’s
intention for marriage, to the mate to whom one has been joined, and
to the children of that union as well as the community of people
around you. Prov. 2:17 even equates on who forsakes
their spouse with one who forgets Yahuweh’s covenant. However, where
husband and wife abide in the commitment of their marriage vows, all
the power of a covenant-keeping God stands behind them and their
marriage.
Yahuweh highly prizes and supports the concept of “covenant” commitment
because it is a picture of His love and faithfulness to us. To see the
nature of how He would have us apply this concept, study Yahuweh’s first
covenant Gen. 6-9 as it records; the desire for a relationship Gen.
6:18; Gen. 9; 9; Gen. 9:11: the giving of a token sign to seal the
covenant Gen 9:12-13; and the eternal commitment of the covenant Gen.
9:16. Covenant is given as the guarantee of Yahuweh’s unending fidelity,
and He calls us to the same truth and spirit of Love’s deepest meaning
Gen. 2:24 Song 7:1-9
Understanding Covenant:
A Covenant agreement is binding on all participating parties and at
the demand of any covenant agreement participant the other covenant
participants are required by agreement to give everything the parties in
need require. Also this works both ways for either participating party
who has needs, the other participating parties are obligated by
agreement to supply the
needs of their fellow covenant relationship partners.
Covenant promises go beyond the Jewish laws with all their rules,
regulations and demands or mans traditions. Yahuweh sets in place
the boundary's of every covenant by His Word and His Spirit of
Truth. Once a covenant is established between Yahuweh and Mankind,
Yahuweh puts everything He is and has as a collateral pledge to
fulfill His Promise to the covenant person or persons. In other
words Yahuweh gives literal ownership of everything He is and has to
His covenant participants as long as they obey Yahowah and their Covenant. There are two rights given by Yahuweh to mankind, #1 the
right to know #2 the right to choose.
