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
Eph. 5:22-32/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 OT 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 His and their Covenant's through Yahushua the Anointed
Messiyah. There are two rights given by Yahuweh to mankind, #1 the
right to know #2 the right to choose.
The marriage covenant
is commanded to be honored by all for several
reasons Hebrews 13:4.
First the marriage covenant is
referred to as a covenant He (Yahuweh) has created, formed and
fashioned between husband and wife Genesis
2:24. Second Yahuweh
the covenant maker and keeper has personally witnessed the marriage
covenant between husband and wife Malachi
2:14. Third the
marriage covenant between a man and his wife is referred to as the
covenant between Yahushua the Anointed Messiyah and His Called-Out,
Anointed and Set-Apart family
Ephesians 5: 22-33. Fourth
the marriage covenant relationship with our one flesh spouse is to be
fulfilled as Yahushua Messiyah does for His Call-Out and Set-Apart
bride which He feeds and cares for and lays down his life for the
benefit of the Covenant with (reconciliation and redemption)
Ephesians 5:31.
Fifth Yahuweh the Mighty One Yahushua
puts all the power, authority, ability, provision, equipping and
fullness of Himself in and around the marriage covenant assuring it
of success, compatibility, fruitfulness, and the destiny of future
descendants the inheritance of the family of Yahuweh, life
everlasting. Genesis 17:7.
