Marital Union in Heaven, and in Creation, Part 1

Matthew 22:30 “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”

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 of whom to marry, and 3) the choosing to give one’s daughter in marriage,

which currently are all earthly choices of our wills – such solely personal choices will not take place in heaven.

What the Lord has shown me, and others also, is that man-woman marital unions in heaven are omnisciently provided by our Lord and King, who created marriage, and who designed and appointed the original wife for the original man. (Adam didn’t get a say in the matter, because God’s choice was perfect.)

In heaven, our wills will be bound up within the Lord’s perfect will, because that is how we will come to be in heaven in the first place. The Lord’s perfect will, from the very beginning of Creation, has been to bring about a perfect union between the Creation and the Creator – including in every detail of the Creation. The stages of this uniting will be the subject of Part 2.
