  1. An Exhortation Towards a Healthy Messianic Marriage Rabbi Bruce R. Booker

  2. The Lord’s Prayer- Matthew 6:9-13

  3. Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power and the Glory forever.

  4. Introduction “…On Earth as it is in Heaven…”

  5. “Thy Kingdom come, Thywillbe done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.”

  6. 1 Corinthians 14:33 “…for God is not a God of unruliness but of shalom.”

  7. Here, Scripture Tells us That God is not the Author of Confusion, but of Order.

  8. So, it is God’s Will is that there Will Be Order In His Kingdom

  9. The Highest In the Order of Heaven Is God, Himself

  10. God is the Head of the Messiah 1 Corinthians 11:3 “…and the head of the Messiah is God.”

  11. Then There is an Angelic Order in Heaven

  12. 1) Seraphim (singular "Seraph"), Mentioned in Isaiah 6:1-7, are the highest angelic class and serve as the caretakers of God's throne and continuously shout praises: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. All the earth is filled with His Glory."

  13. 2) Cherubim Cherubimguard the way to the tree of life in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24) and the throne of God (Ezekiel 28:14-16).

  14. The cherubim are mentioned in Genesis 3:24; Exodus 25:17-22; 2 Chronicles 3:7-14; Ezekiel 10:12–14, 28:14-16; 1 Kings 6:23–28; and Revelation 4:6-8.

  15. 3) Archangels It derives from the Greek archō, meaning to be first in rank or power; and angělǒs which means messenger or envoy.

  16. The word is only used twice in the New Testament: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Jude 1:9. Only Archangels Gabriel and Michael are mentioned by name in the New Testament.

  17. 4) Angels The "angels" or malakhim, i.e. the "plain" angels (i.e. messenger or envoy), are the lowest order of the angels, and the most recognized.

  18. Then What ARE We Praying For? If We Pray as He taught us: then whatweAREprayingforis that HisWillistobedonehereonEarth asitisinHeaven!

  19. That being True: Since there is a Heavenly Order of Things…

  20. Then it is Especially True With regard to the Order He set in the Marriage Covenant, which is the earthly Representation of His Marriage Covenant with US as His People!

  21. He HAS Set an Order to This Marriage Covenant on Earth: In Establishing the Order of what We MustFollow as a Husband or a Wife in our Marriage Covenant Here on Earthwith Each Other!

  22. Let’s Go to the First Part of the Passage of 1 Corinthians 11:3 “But I want you to understand that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of the Messiah is God.”

  23. If In Heaven or On Earth God’s Order of His Kingdom is VIOLATED, then there is Confusion, DISORDER and a loss of Shalom (peace)!

  24. So, if We Are a Husband or a Wife And we REFUSE to obey the Order that God has Established for a Marriage Covenant, then we are RESISTING God, NOT Simply our Spouse!

  25. Let Me Break it Down: If You Are a Husband and/or Father Yet you REFUSE to be the Head (spiritually and physically) of your Household (or you have Relinquishedyour position to your Wife and/or children):

  26. Then You are RESISTINGGod’s Order in the Marriage Covenant and you should not wonder why your household does not have Shalom!

  27. BUT Wives: If You have USURPED the spiritual and/or physical Headship of your Husband…

  28. …then You are RESISTINGGod’s Order for the Covenant Relationship of Marriage that God set up.

  29. And you should not wonder why in your home there is NO Order or Shalom!

  30. Now, Some Wives Here Have husbands who are NOT believers in God or in His Son Yeshua and are asking, “Well, what should I do, since my husband obviously is NOT the spiritual head of our family?”

  31. Kefa (Peter) Answers that in 1 Peter 3: 1In the same way, wives, submit to your husbands; so that even if some of them do not believe the Word, they will be won over by your conduct, without your saying anything, 2 as they see your respectful and pure behavior.

  32. God Designed Us And He wrote the Owner’s Manual for us to follow in ALL areas of our lives!

  33. When We Violate His Manual, the Bible We open ourselves up to confusion, the lack of peace, and a difficult life.

  34. Part 1 The Basic Family Unit

  35. THE FAMILY: One Man/One Woman A basic family unit is composed of one man and one womanunited in the Covenant bond of marriage for as long as they live.

  36. The Covenant of Marriage: One Man/One Woman For LIFE!

  37. Regarding The “D” Word The “D” Word Should NOT be in the Vocabulary of a God-Centered Marriage Covenant between a husband and his wife!

  38. When Yeshua Was Asked if a Man Could Divorce His Wife for Any Reason, He Answered:

  39. Matthew 19 4 He replied, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female, 5 and that he said, `For this reason a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two are to becomeone flesh'? 6 Thus they are no longer two, but one. So then, no one should split apart what God has joined together."

  40. 7 They said to him, "Then why did Moshe give the commandment that a man should hand his wife a get and divorce her?" 8 He answered, "Moshe allowed you to divorce your wives because your hearts are so hardened. But this is not how it was at the beginning.”

  41. I recently heard of a quote attributed to Ruth Bell Graham, the wife of evangelist, Billy Graham, when asked if she had ever considered divorce in the many years of their marriage; her tongue-in-cheek answer came to mind on my completion of this book: "Murder - yes; divorce - never!" If I'd Killed Him When I Met Him Sharon McCrumb

  42. So, That’s It! The Family Unit BEGINS WITH a Man AND a Woman!

  43. The Reason for the Creation of Woman: In the Creation account of Scripture in B’reshith Aleph (Genesis 1), He said “Tov” (Good).

  44. However, there was only ONE proclamation in the ENTIRE Creation account of B’reshith where He said, “Lo Tov” (“Not good”):

  45. B’reshithBeth (Genesis 2) 18 ADONAI, God, said, "It isn'tgoodthat theperson should be alone…

  46. “…I will makeforhim a companion suitable for helping him."

  47. kə·neḡ·dōw‘ê·zer Helper Suitable

  48. “Helper…” - Ay-zer Strong's Number:  05828 help, succour one who helps

  49. ‘ezer • The word 'ezer means “helper” and is never used in the TANAKH to refer to an inferior or to a subordinate. • In fact, the word is used in reference to God as our helper (Psalm 10:14; 30:10; 54:4; 70:5; 72:12; 121:2). Clearly God is not our subordinate. • Ezer is a sign of strength and power.

  50. “Suitable” – from Neged Strong's Number:  05048 what is conspicuous, what is in front of • in front of, straight forward, before, in sight of, opposite • what is in front of, corresponding to
