What the Prophet Said about 'Marriage and Divorce'
part1
I’ve commented in between some quotes
to bring focus or clarity. If you see that I took anything out of context
then please correct me, that wasn’t my intention.
Notice also, as you read along, how he continues to say that you
cannot make the Word lie. He doesn't want you try to take part of the
message and make it contradict any other part of the message.
One last thing I want to mention. If
you believe that the prophet brought us the true message for this hour and
it has the quickening power then no matter how much you may not like what
the message says, I pray you'll let God get to you, what He is saying behind
the parts that sometimes hurt our fleshly traditions and ideas. The truth
for this hour is hidden in the message that the prophet brought. It's hidden
from the eyes of the wise and the prudent. It's hidden from the stiff neck
and uncircumcised in heart and ear. God grant that none of us find any of
those things in our lives.

THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.IS.FULFILLED_
JEFF.IN V-3 N-8
FRIDAY_ 65-0219

And I stood there a little bit till the Holy Spirit revealed it. I
said, "The entire Bible, as much as been revealed to man, through
justification, sanctification, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the baptism in
Jesus' Name, and all these things, has been revealed; but there is secrets
that's hid inside, because the Bible is sealed with Seven Seals. I must go
there to find it."
176
That morning when those seven Angels come down and blasted the earth,
and rocks flew every way, seven Angels stood there and said, "Return back to
Jeffersonville, from where you come from, for the Seven Seals of the seven
mysteries will be opened."
177
Here we are, today, understanding Serpent's Seed. In a few days,
if God willing, we'll understand the correctness of Marriage And Divorce.
And all these things that God has opened, every Seal, the mysteries since
the foundation of the world. And we've been in joy, the Presence of His
blessings! That is true. This day, this Scripture!
--------------
He says "In
a few days, if God willing, we'll understand the correctness of Marriage &
Divorce."
Do you think we had the
correctness of Marriage and Divorce
before this message was preached. We did not.
--------------
So, the prophet introduces us to the
two great schools of thought or man’s idea on what the answers are to
marriage and divorce. Then he tells us that both ideas are wrong.
It we’ll help us to stop here just for
a second and look at what those two ideas were:
1.
"A man can only be married once,
unless his wife is dead."
The prophet says “you go to following that, you go overboard.”
The prophet says “You find yourself overboard with that.”
The prophet also says the same thing
about preaching that a woman or man either one can get married again with a
living husband or wife. He explains even more clear as the messages
continues.
Read Matthew 19:1-9
84
Jesus, in our text, invites us
to go back to the beginning, for the true Scriptural answer.
85
Now, when He was confronted with this, there was two things in view.
The priests said to Him, "Can a man put away his wife, marry another, for
any cause?"
86
He said, "That, Moses did that because," I'm letting that string
awhile, "because of the hardness of your hearts; but from, or at the
beginning it wasn't so." The question!

89
The question, the true answer
that Jesus want us to go back to, is to go back to the beginning. Then,
that would be in Genesis, 'cause the word Genesis is the seed chapter to
every question in the Bible. And you always have to go back to the seed to
see what kind of a seed is in the field, to find out what your crops will
be. Now, what kind of seed is sown? Genesis, being the seed chapter, we'd go
back to Genesis. Jesus introduces us
to that Scripture, "at the beginning." Now, remember, that's when time
started to begin. Before that, it was Eternity.
Now, our question there was, notice,
if we go back to the beginning.
90
Now don't fail this! And
that's the reason I want to talk slow, so that the people out on the wires,
and that the tape will say it clearly.
91
If Jesus said, "Go back to the
beginning," there was only one pair of anything on earth. There was one
Adam, one Eve, they were joined by God alone. One female horse, one male;
one female parrot, one male. "At the
beginning," as He told us to go back, there was only one pair of anything.
Is that true? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Then, we find now that
everything "in the beginning" was running in perfect order and harmony with
God, nothing was out of cater.
92
Everything in heaven is still in order; all the stars, the galaxies,
the solar system, everything is perfectly in order. One of them move, it
would interrupt the whole program.
93
Now listen. Do you see? One interruption spoils the entire program!
Now, when human beings was running in continuity with God, with one man and
one woman, this woman sinned and it throwed the whole earthly program out of
continuity with God. Therefore, one word added to this Book, or one Word
taken from It; throws a Christian out of continuity with God, throws a
church out of continuity with God, throws a family out of continuity with
God. Every believer can be throwed out, by not accepting every Word of God.
94
Then, it was the woman that caused the separation of the lovely home. It
was not a Cherubim that bothered the earth.
It was not Adam that throwed the home out.
It was not anything else that throwed the home out, and throwed the whole thing
out of continuity, but a woman, Eve. And
it is here that "the beginning," that Jesus spoke of, was broken. Jesus
said, "At the beginning, God made one male, one female, of each kind." And now
when this woman... not the female horse, not the female dog; but the woman,
she broke the entire continuity of God's
operation on the earth, and throwed everything into death. The woman, not the
man, she broke the covenant. She broke the covenant, because (why?) she
stepped across the borders of God's Word. Now, if she broke her covenant with
her husband, she broke her covenant with God; then, because she broke the
covenant with God, she broke it with her husband.

Now notice now "after" the
beginning, after the beginning, after time began;
back in that was Eternity, is over.
Notice, after that fall was made by Eve, after the fall, there was need
to be another covenant made. Now this is going to stumble you, but I'm going
to give you the Scripture to prove that this is the Truth. Now notice after
the fall, Jesus said... God, at the beginning, made one of a kind; but now, after the fall, now
we're going beyond that. The
covenant was co-equal; but now, after the fall, there is another covenant
made. Now she was no longer ruler with him, each must have a separate
covenant.
199
First was just a covenant,
Adam and Eve was co-equal, one man and one woman. Now the woman sinned,
and (what does she do?) that throwed them all to death, and
God had to make a covenant by that,
another covenant. Here it is right here in Genesis 3:16, He made another
covenant.
--------------
before the fall = Man and woman in a
co-equal covenant = repopulate by creation
after the fall = Man and woman not in
a co-equal covenant = repopulate by sex

SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
200
Now the world is to be
repopulated, not by the original creation of God, like in the beginning, not
by the original creation, but by sex desire. Now that takes care of "the
beginning," doesn't it? In the
beginning there was only one man and one woman, one male and one female; but
when she crossed that line and brought this sin, now the world is to be
repopulated again, by sex, not by creation; by sex. See where the woman
is at now, now? But that's the way the world is populated today, through
women.
203
Then when the double covenant
was made by man and woman, through sex, another covenant altogether (not the
original covenant, but another covenant), now what's introduced? Polygamy,
in all. Then, after the beginning, polygamy was introduced both in man and
in beasts; after the beginning, the fall. God now, secondarily, sets a new
nature again, by sex. God created the first without sex. Do you believe
that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now it's another covenant with
nature, He sets it in another order, by sex.
Second covenant: one male, many
females; one buck deer, a whole
harem of does. Is that right? One bull, a whole herd of cattle, cows; one rooster, a yardful of
hens. Is that right? One David, after
His Own heart, with five hundred wives;
with a hundred children born to him, in one year, of different women, a
man after God's Own heart. One Solomon, with a thousand wives. But
notice now, it wasn't so at the beginning, but now it's "after" the
beginning. The woman has done this, then she just becomes
what she is now. See?
--------------
“Now this is going to shock you”
Before the fall there was no sex and a
one man and one woman covenant. But after the fall there is another convenant.
One male and many females.
My first thought was that, that was just back
then in the old testament. But, the prophet follows up by saying this:
MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_
JEFF.IN V-3 N-13
SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
204
David, the king which represented Christ! Hold that in your mind.
David represented Christ. Do you believe that? [Congregation says,
"Amen."--Ed.] Christ is setting, going to sit on his throne. And this David,
a man after God's Own heart, had five hundred wives. See what I mean? David
with his five hundred wives, Solomon with his thousand. And Solomon is the
son of David, in the natural; which represents Jesus Christ, the Son of
David, in the spiritual. But that's natural, sex life. This is going to be
spiritual, created. Why? Created.
See, that's the way it was at the beginning, but not now in this life we
live in now.
232
It's always been that way,
that's the regular covenant with God from the beginning. First, before
the beginning, from the beginning there was just one and one. After the sin
came in, then there was one man and a bunch of women; run that way in
nature, every animal, and human beings and natural flesh is animal. We are
mammal, we know that, all of us, see, and it's all God's nature in
continuity.
--------------
He makes it clear that the natural
life we live in now is under this second covenant of sex. All of nature is
under that covenant. It is “all
God's nature in continuity.”
My next thought was that it was only
for Israel and the law. But, the prophet follows with this:
MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_
JEFF.IN V-3 N-13
SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
206
"Oh," you say, "that was just for Israel." Is it?
207
When Abraham took Sarah down into the Philistine country, there was a
king down there named Abimelech. And Sarah was a hundred years old, right at
it, but she had been changed back to a young woman and been made beautiful.
Do you know that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right. And Abimelech
wanted her for a wife. You remember my Message on it? Abimelech wanted to
take Sarah for a wife. Probably had a harem, but he could not take her if
she was married to Abraham. So Abraham said to Sarah, "Say that you are, 'my
brother,' because he'll kill me so that he can have you." Why didn't he just
chase Abraham out of the country, and take his wife and go on?
Not only a law was it with believers, but to all people in the creation.
Sinner or a saint, you are responsible, man, for these acts. There was a
heathen king. How many knows that story is true? ["Amen."] It's the Bible,
Genesis, about the 16th chapter, I think.
--------------
But, my next thought at the time was
that Jesus wanted us to go back to the beginning when there was just one
male and one female. But then I heard the prophet say this:
MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_
JEFF.IN V-3 N-13
SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
222
Note, let's read this here. I want to get this to you.
Matthew 5, Jesus spoke here of
something that's really of a vital importance. We want to see it,
Matthew 5. I wrote on my...
223 I marked out
some of the things I was going to say just to the man, so had quite a little
time saying it just before our sisters. But I want to--to go out here now
before...
224
Now, sister, I want to put you
to the place where God's Word promised you, and you see then you stay in
that place, too.
225
Matthew 5:32. I want you to
notice here, to support this same idea of "one" and "many." Matthew,
thirty-... I think it's Matthew 5:32, 31 to begin with.
It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement:
226
That's Jesus speaking, the One said, "from the beginning." Now watch.
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving... the
cause of fornications, causes her to commit adultery; see, whosoever shall
put away his wife, saving... the cause of fornication, causes her to commit
adultery: (why? she'll marry again) and whosoever marrieth her that is
divorced committed adultery.
227
See, she has got a living husband, so no man can marry her. Care what
she does and who she is, she's got a living husband, there is no grounds for
her at all. But, it's not, for him. "Causes her," not him. Get it?
You have to make the Word run in continuity.
See, nothing saying he couldn't, but she can't. See, "causes her," not
him. That's exactly what the Bible says, "causes her." It is not stated
against him to remarry, but "her." Why? Christ in the type.
228
Notice, it is stated that he cannot remarry, only a virgin. He can
remarry. He can, he can remarry again if it's a virgin, but he can't marry
somebody else's wife. No indeedy. And if he does marry a divorced woman, he
is living in adultery, I don't care who he is. The Bible said, "Whosoever
marrieth her that is put away, liveth in adultery." There you are, not no
divorcees.
229
See that original back there, "from the beginning," now?
Remarrying, now notice, he can, but she can't. Like David, like Solomon,
like the continuity of the whole Bible, now, same as David and the rest of
them.
--------------
-
He has declared it is a covenant
“in this life we live in now.”
-
He declared it was not just for Israel but for
“all
people in the creation”
-
He then declares that Jesus speaks in Matthew 5:31 and 5:32
“to support this same idea of "one" and "many."”
We’ll pick up with that thought in
part two and continue next week.
God bless you all,
Bro. Chris
