Marital Union in Heaven, and in Creation, Part 4
Second Stage of Holy Marital Union: Israel – A Covenant of Soul
Every one of the stages in the marital Chain of Events is essential to the whole Creation, forever. Adam and Eve became “one flesh.” Gen. 2:24 “Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” Matt. 19:6 God’s purpose in joining man and woman in marital relationship will not be undone by the ascension of His ele

First Stage of Holy Marital Union: Man – A Covenant of Flesh
As we saw in Part 2, the process of the perfecting of the Creation is still going on. Biblical history clearly shows this process, “the Chain of Events,” having taken place in earlier manifestations; the most obvious being in the case of Adam and Eve.
Like the primordial Divinity, Adam was at first an undivided whole, until –
Genesis 2:21 …the LORD God caused…a deep s
Marital Union in Heaven, and in Creation, Part 2
The Origin of Marriage
Marriage is the union of a male and a female. The primordial pattern of the male-female union did not begin with Adam and Eve, but rather with the Creator and His Creation. That pattern originated with a separation out of primordial, limitless Divinity of a limited part thereof; because absolutely nothing else than Divinity existed before that separation. Since that event, the Creator’s sole work has been to perfec
This verse is commonly misunderstood, because people project into it more than it actually says. First, what it does NOT say:
– That marriage in heaven will not exist. (Heaven itself IS a state of marriage; that is, a state of union.)
– That people in heaven will be sexless.
– That angels in heaven are sexless, or are only males, having no feminine traits at all.
Now, what the passage DOES say:
– That personal volition regarding 1) the choosing to marry, 2) the choosing
Joseph, Part 4: “The Fullness of the Nations”
Genesis 48:19 …but truly his [Manasseh’s] younger brother [Ephraim] shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become the fullness of the nations.
Romans 11:25 …blindness in part has happened to Israel UNTIL the fullness/plērōma of the nations shall have come in. 26 And AFTER that all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant
Joseph, Part 3: A Patriarchal Prophecy of Josephʼs Future
[In the following prophecy, the translations and especially the tenses of the verbs are faithful and literal to the biblical Hebrew. Explanations are noted only where most significant.]
Shortly after Jacobʼs blessing of Josephʼs sons Ephraim and Manasseh,
Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the Last Days. Gen. 49:1
Of Joseph, he foretol
Joseph, Part 2: The Heritage of Joseph
Abraham was the father of Isaac, who was the father of Jacob, the father of Joseph. God gave Jacob the name Israel.
When Abraham was about 75 years old, God made him two promises:
[1] I will make thee into a great nation… [2] and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Gen. 12:2, 3
The first of these promises made by God to Abraham was physical, one of race: his descendants were to become a great multitude, a chosen nati

Hebrew Mysticism and Greek Rationalism
After Gentile believers came to greatly outnumber Hebrew believers in the early centuries of the Church, they began to suppress Hebraic wisdom that did not fit into their Greek way of thinking.

Forty days has been the standard biblical period for trial, testing, and tribulation.
The pounding downpour and great upwelling of water during Noah’s Flood lasted 40 days, and even though they were preserved, surely Noah and all with him were greatly buffeted and distressed until God ended the storm.
At the beginning of the Exodus, 40 days marked the initial period of trial and testing of the Israelites. It ended only after they overcame the attack of Amalekites, after which they had

There is much speculation and false teaching about the End Times prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39. This series of articles will show where the “Gog-Magog War” fits into the overall scheme of End Time events.
For decades, many have taught that the Gog-Magog War will be the first major conflict of the End Times; whereas actually, multiple Bible prophecies reveal that it will be the last, concluding battle before the Millennium. Of these multiple parallel prop
