When one pulls up to a stop sign what is it that is being communicated to the person? Undoubtedly the obvious communication is that the person must stop. But why? Nothing is said on the sign as to why the person must stop. This is taken as a thing that is supposed to be understood by the driver, or if the person does not understand then they should not be driving. The reason for the command is for the driver to stop in order that he can look both ways and thus respond to the traffic that may or may not be present on the road that day. Thus the actual commandment only has value because it allows for the more important reasoning behind it, which is to slow down sufficiently (stop) to consider the traffic on the road way and act accordingly.
God's laws pertaining to divorce are like this. The greatest importance of them is in the reasoning behind them, this reasoning goes beyond the immediate sphere of men's lives. Undoubtedly there is extreme importance in the immediate sphere of men's lives for God's laws pertaining to marriage to be fulfilled, for this allows for stable and happy lives for all involved. However, Yahweh's laws related to divorce have not only an earthly need for fulfillment, meaning they are needed to properly direct the affairs of men's lives on the earth for their immediate good and protection, but they also represent heavenly and eternal realities at the same time. The following is an explanation of the heavenly realities that are reflected by the unlawful practice of divorce, therein, defining the most extreme point of Yahweh's displeasure at the violation of these laws. For to violate Yahweh's laws pertaining to divorce is to directly slander the heavenly realities that the faithful marriage was created by God to picture.
Divorce:
In that Yahweh created the man as a living mortal illustration of Himself, and the woman as a living mortal illustration of the Church, and caused that they would come together in marriage, the act of divorce has far greater ramifications then the immediate affects of the dissolutionment of the marriage and family, as extremely horrible as that it. For divorce is a horrendous thing, which often brings extreme damage and pain to the family members involved. Yet the slanderous testimony of heavenly things that is brought forth is the chief reason divorce is hated of God. Marriage was created by God to represent His relationship to the believer. (1 Cor. 6:17) When one comes to the salvation of Jesus, the Lord becomes the husband of that person's spirit. In that the man and the woman were created to illustrate in their persons both God and the Church, the act of unlawful divorce gives the signal that God will, or may, divorce believers, or that the believer is permitted to divorce the Lord. Our God is completely faithful and He will never divorce any soul of man until that soul has been proven unfaithful to him and will not turn from that unfaithfulness, (in other words such a one has thrown away his faith) and any soul of man that divorces the Lord will find itself without a savior, and henceforth be destined to the Lake of Fire.
So what we find in modern America is that the humanistic thought patterns, that have sprung forth from man's wisdom (versus obedience to God's laws) have created a divorce rate of near 70% for first time marriages. This fact reflects that our generation has divorced God. It is that simple. It is no more complicated then that. Yes, we may boast that we are Christians, but our commitment to godliness is obviously very weak. Jesus said that “a tree will be known by its fruits”. And in the end, the real values of a person are known by what that person does or allows.
Almost all divorce seen in modern America is unlawful, and misrepresents God and His purposes, and is in direct violation to Yahweh's laws.
The word America is repent! Turn to God from the wisdom of men. Flush the worthless and confused preachers and educators that teach for doctrine the wisdom of men. (man's misguided intelligence that refuses to acknowledge Yahweh and His laws) He made men as the highest of all his creation, to live in the honor of knowing Him and His ways, thus by their lifestyle reflecting His truth in the world. He did not create men to wallow in the mire of the immorality that springs forth from the wisdom of men. For the wisdom of men without the fear of God is at best foolishness.
