The Mariage

[Johan]

God created Adam in His image.

Gen 2:18 Later, the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a companion that is a suitable match for him."


And surely. . it is not good to be alone!


Gen 2:21 so the LORD God caused a deep sleep to overshadow the man. When the man was asleep, he removed one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh where it had been.
Gen 2:22 Then the LORD God formed the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.
Gen 2:23 So the man exclaimed, "At last! This is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. This one will be called 'Woman,' because she was taken from Man."


So God ceated a companion for man. Someone that is his equal . . .and not his child.


In this present moment in history . . we find that God has many children . . . but no companion. And we know that true fulfilment cannot be without a family.


"And surely. . it is not good to be alone!"


And God created for Himself children. This we all know . . .but where is the companion.


Or is God destined to live only with His children. . . .living in this "not good" situation.


"And surely. . it is not good to be alone!"


But we see something else in Scripture


Isa 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.


And we see the growing up of His children.


Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:


And then? Are we then destined to still be children of God? And God destined to be alone? Just living with all of His children . . .and it is just children . . .but they are grown?


No. Surely not. Then we are ready for the grown-up relationship! Companionship . . .because we are not children anymore . . .and the relationship can obviously not be that of children anymore!

And then . . .we start to get revelations on the Song of songs . . .and the anointing . . .there

Son 1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

And we get some more revelation on this "great mystery"

Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
