Divorce and Re-Marriage

Deut 24:1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unseemly thing in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house,
Deut 24:2 and she goes forth from his house and goes and becomes another man’s wife,
Deut 24:3 and the latter husband hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to him as his wife,
Deut 24:4 then her former husband who sent her away may not take her again to be his wife, after which she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before Yahuah, and you shall not bring sin on the land which Yahuah your Al gives you as an inheritance.

When we read Turah on the surface we see an instruction which seems to be a way out of marriage in appeasing the flesh in getting another wife but those who have been spiritually awakened understand that the Turah of life is hidden in the letter and the letter kills but the Ruach gives life. The Yahudi's understood Turah after the flesh and that's why it was to them Turah of khatah (sin) and muth (death).

When Yahusha was confronted with a quote from this text this is what he said

Matt 19:3 Some Pharisees came to Him, testing Him and asking, Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?
Matt 19:4 And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female,”
Matt 19:5 and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?”
Matt 19:6 “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore the Alahym has joined together, let no man separate.”
Matt 19:7 They said to Him, Why then did Moshe command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?
Matt 19:8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moshe permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.”
Matt 19:9 “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for harlotry, and marries another woman commits adultery (and marries her which is divorced does commit adultery).”
Matt 19:10 The disciples said to Him, If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.
Matt 19:11 But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only to whom is put under an oath (alah)” 

Again if we read what Mashiyach said on a surface level we see a higher standard in morality as compared to the Turah of khatah and muth but there is a deeper spiritual meaning to what Mashiyach said which needs a little digging and spiritual verses spiritual comparison.

Divorce according to the Turah of life was not permitted at all for mankind and whoever understood the commandment literally were carnal but Yahusha reveals to us what divorce and re-marriage is all about. It was a command only to him who was put under an oath (alah)-see Matthew 19:11 i.e. Only he reserved the right to divorce because only he is perfect and never ever sinned or never became unfaithful to his bride.

Scripture uses two words which define a perspective-one from Yasharal point of view and one from Yahuah's

The two words for husband are 'baal' and 'ishi'

Jer 31:32 not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband (baal) to them, declares Yahuah. 

Isa 54:5 For your husband (baal) is your Maker, whose name is Yahuah of hosts; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Yasharal, who is called the AL of all the earth.

Yasharal after the flesh likened Yahuah as the lords/masters/husbands on earth and that was their perspective but Yahuah says they will no longer call him 'baali' for he will remove the name of baals from their mouth and they will call him 'ISHI'

Hos 2:16 And it shall be in that day, declares Yahuah, that you shall call Me Ishi and shall no longer call Me Baali.
Hos2:17 For I shall remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, so that they shall be mentioned by their names no more.  






Ishi (spelled as aysh) has a root word 'Ash' which means 'Fire'. It's no wonder that Masha (Moses) saw the bush burning with fire and yet was not consumed.

Ex 3:2 The angel of Yahuah appeared to him in a blazing fire (ash) from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

Hos 2:19 I shall betroth (arashat) you to Me forever; Yes, I shall betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, in lovingkindness and in compassion,




arash/arashat means 'to request/betroth'

2 Cor11:2 For I am jealous for you with a jealousy of Alahym; for I betrothed you to one husband (ishi), so that to the Mashiyach I might present you as a pure virgin.

Paul said he betrothed the assembly to ONE HUSBAND and that is Mashiyach. So we must look at the Mashiyach because it was he who fulfilled the Turah and bound himself with the oath of divorce and re-marriage.

 Mal 3:17 They shall be to Me, says Yahuah of hosts, on the day that I prepare My treasure, and I shall spare them as a husband (ishi) has pity on his own son (ban) who serves him. 

Yahuah was both Father and Ishi to Yasharal and we can see this in Malachi 3:17 where he says that he would spare his own as a husband has pity on his own son who serves him. This doesn't make sense to the carnal mind and that's why the translators translated íshi' here as 'man'

But when we understand both the Fatherhood and the Husband relationship of Yahuah to Yasharal it makes perfect sense. Yahuah placed the relationship of the husband above his fatherhood because through this relationship he would be one flesh with Yasharal reconciling them all back to his Fatherhood. I know this may not make sense yet so hold on.

Gen 2:24 Therefore an aysh (husband) shall leave his father (abh) and his mother (am), and be joined to his wife (ashah); and they shall become into one flesh (basar).

Husband- aysh has root word 'ash' which means 'fire'
Wife-ashah has root word 'ash' in it which also means 'fire'



And the two will become one flesh. Is it a coincidence that 'aysha' means 'fire offering'

Ex 29:25 You shall take them from their hands, and offer them up in smoke on the altar on the burnt offering for a soothing aroma before Yahuah; it is a fire offering (ashah) to Yahuah.

Eph 5:29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Master also does the assembly,
Eph 5:30 because we are members of His body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph5:31 For this reason a husband shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

Quoting Gen 2:24 Paul says that we are members of the body of Mashiyach and are of his flesh and of his bones and speaks of the husband leaving his father and mother to enjoin his ashah to be one flesh with her.

And in this we see Yahuah who became our Mashiyach leaving his fatherhood and leaving the Heavenly Yarashalam the mother of us all to enjoin with us to be one flesh with him to reconcile us to his fatherhood in the fire offering made as a sweet aroma. The ashah (wife) is hidden in him, of his flesh and of his bones.

With this we can understand what Alahym meant when he said :

Gen 1:26 Then Alahym said, Let Us (father and husband) make man in Our image (male and female), according to Our likeness (male and female); and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
Gen 1:27 Elohim created alaph thu man in His own image, in the image (tsalam) of Alahym He created him; male and female He created them.

Gen 5:2 He created them male and female, and He blessed them and called their name adam in the day when they were created.

The image of Alahym is Mashiyach who is husband and in whom is hidden the wife. The wife was taken from the man

Gen 2:21 So Yahuah Alahym caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs (tsala) and closed up the flesh at that place.

The Abary word tsala means ribs which has the root word 'tsal' which means shadow and this same word is rooted in 'tsalam' which means image.

Tsal:



'Tsala' - Ribs : Tsad lamed ayin: tsal (shadow) ayin (see)-'Shadow that can be seen'

Tsalam:



'Tsalam'- Image: Tsad lamed: tsal (shadow)  Mem (deep) : 'Shadow of the deep'

The Woman is the Shadow/Reflection of the man and hence the Woman needs to have the fullness of Mashiyach likeness in her.

1Cor 11:7 For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of Alahym; but the woman is the glory of man
1Cor 11:8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man;
1Cor11:9 Neither was the man was created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
1Cor 11:10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

The man is not of the woman but the woman is of the man and that's why the woman needs to have the headship of her husband over her. She needs to be hidden in the man.

When we understand the deep roots and the reflection of it in a marriage it's impossible to divorce your own flesh and bones, the one whom you are one flesh with. The scripture Matthew 19:9 éxcept for harlotry'is only reserved for Yahusha because Matt 19:11 says 

But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only to whom is put under an oath (alah)” 

Man is not in a position to accept the teaching of Yahusha unless he sees what Yahusha did for us.

We read in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 when a husband puts away his wife and she marries another and her latter husband puts her away or dies she cannot return to her first husband. But see what Yahuah says to Yasharal.

Jer 3:1 He says, If a husband puts away his wife and she goes from him and belongs to another man, Shall he still return to her? Shall not that land be completely polluted? But you are a harlot with many lovers; Yet you turn to Me, declares Yahuah.

A carnal mind will see a contradiction because they do not understand Deut 24:1-4. This was allowed by Masha (Moses) because of the hardness of their heart but with Yahuah it was not so. Only he reserved the right to divorce and remarry and let's see how he did it and whom did he marry?

Rom 7:1 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to them who know the law), that the Turah has dominion over a man as long as he lives?
Rom 7:2 For the married woman is bound by Turah to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.
Rom 7:3 So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the Turah so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.
Rom 7:4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Turah through the body of the Mashiyach, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for Alahym. 

The Ruach is showing us from YeremeYahu 3:1 and Rom 7:1-4 that Woman who was divorced by Yahuah for harlotry was bound to Turah while her husband was still living but her husband was put to a deep sleep (just as Adam was symbolically) and she was released from the law of her husband to remarry the one who was raised from the dead. The carnal was divorced and was remarried to the spiritual. The husband who was 'baal to her was now 'ishi' to her.

Col 3:3 For you have died and your life is hidden with the Mashiyach in Alahym.

The Woman taken out from Adam was naked as he was but the Woman taken from the Ishi Mashiyach was clothed with the headship of Mashiyach.

Ge 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Gen 3:21 Yahuah Alahym made coats (katan) of skin (aur) for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

The word 'katan' the root word 'kat' which means 'crushed'

katan:

Katan: kaph thu (crushed ) nun (seed)


kat:





aur: bare/naked skin




Yahuah Alahym clothed Adam and Chauah with ''crushed seed's (katan) nakedness (aur)'


Matt 27:28 They stripped Him (Yahusha) of His own garments and put a scarlet robe on Him.

John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Yahusha, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top throughout

Yahusha took our nakedness upon himself.

1Cor 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of the Mashiyach? Shall I then take away the members of the Mashiyach and make them members of a harlot? May it never be!
1Cor 6:16 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a harlot is one body with her? For He says, The two shall become one flesh. 
1Cor 6:17 But the one who joins himself to the Master is ONE RUACH with Him. 

Yasharal after the flesh was divorced by Yahuah because of unfaithfulness. Yasharal went into harlotry as they couldn't see the ruach in the letter but Yahuah never forsook his people, he divorced the carnal but Yasharal of Ruach was whom he married.

2Cor 5:16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known the Mashiyach according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer
2Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in the Mashiyach, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Heb 10:19 Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence into the entrance of the holy place by the blood of Yahusha,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

Paul says that from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh even though we have known Mashiyach according to the flesh. In Hebrews 10: 19-20 he tells us that we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Yahusha by a new and living way which he made for us through the veil that is, his flesh. We read in 1 Corin 6:17 that he who enjoins with the Master is ONE RUACH with him. See the harmony in scriptures. Flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones is transformed into RUACH by being in the Master. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of the shamayim and that's why Yahuah shows us that we will one day be transformed into his image and likeness which is not flesh and blood but from the Ruach.

1Joh 3:2 Beloved, now we are the sons of Alahym, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be; but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is.

Being one ruach with him can we enjoin ourselves to a harlot? For they who enjoin themselves to a harlot become one flesh with her for the two shall become one flesh he says 1 Corin 6:15-16
How can we who are justified by grace be perfected by the Turah of khatah and muth?

Gal 3:1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, (that you should not obey the truth,) before whose eyes Yahusha the Mashiyach has been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Turah or by hearing with faith?
Gal 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 

Yahuah has handed the old pattern which is in carnal ordinances to Shatan. And anyone looking for perfection through the carnal ordinances are enjoined to the harlot Mystery Babylon being one flesh with her whose end will be burning in the lake of fire. But those in Mashiyach are one Ruach with him who will be transformed into his image and likeness.

Heb 13:4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers Alahym shall judge.

1Cor 7:10 But to the married I command, yet not I, but the Master, that the wife should not depart from her husband.
1Cor 7:11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband), and let not the husband put away his wife.
1Cor 7:12 But to the rest I say, not the Master, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not put her away.
1Cor 7:13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
1Cor 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
1Cor 7:15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but the Alahym has called us to peace.   

Many people misinterpret 1 Corin 7:15 by teaching that the brother and sister whose unbelieving husband/wife leaves they can re-marry. It doesn't say that at all. It says ' the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases'. The bondage is of not putting away the spouse, they can put away the spouse in such cases. If Paul was teaching re-marriage why would Paul say in the same chapter in verse 39

1Cor 7:39 A wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Master.

The spiritual commandment was only for Mashiyach who was under an oath to divorce the Yarashalam after the flesh and re-marry Yarashalam after the ruach, the law giver has the right to buy back the harlot who went after many lovers as his wife by renewing her and purifying her. (Jer 3:1). We don't and can't. Shalum

Nakedness of the Father and Mother

Lev 18:7 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

The Turah is spiritual and when we read Turah we must compare spiritual things with spiritual to see the whole picture. Before even the carnal commandment came, Yahuah shows us from his dabar what the nakedness of Noach means and why Canaan the seed of Ham was cursed.

Gen 9:20 Then Noach (Nuach) began a husband (aysh)  of the ground (adamah) and planted a vineyard (karam).
Gen 9:21 He drank (yashath) of the wine and became drunk (yashakar), and uncovered (yathgal) himself in the midst of his tent.
Gen 9:22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the alaph thu nakedness (aruth) of his father (abayu), and told (yagad)to his two brothers outside.
Gen 9:23 But Shem and Yapheth took a alaph thu garment (hashamlah) and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness (aruth) of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness (aruth).
Gen 9:24 When Noach awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.

Gen 9:25  So he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers.

Noach: From Nach which means rest


Aysh: husband/fire. The one who is like charred wood after being burned in the fire.


Adamah from Adam who was made from the ground

Vineyard: karam

Kar: dig




ram: high and lifted up


The picture is of the Rest which is burned down to the ground from where man was dug and high and lifted up.
Noach yashath the wine and was shakar (drunk ) of the wine and was uncovered (yathgal) within his tent.

Yashath : from shatah and shath which means to sit as in a feast to drink.

Yod is the hand. Hence ‘Ya shath’ is seated/set/put with the hand authority. 


Shakar: drunk

Shak (Cease) Kar (dig)

Shak:


Kar:




YathGal:

Yath Hebrew word is closely related to ath (alaph thu) which means first and the last. Ya (hand) thu (covenant). Hence ‘yath’ is ‘hand covenant’

Gal: Round


YathGal is a picture of the hand covenant going around as in round circle in completion.

Tent:  ahal from ‘hal’ which means shine


Noach ( nach: Rest) yashath (sat with hand authority) and was shakar (ceased to dig) and yathgal (hand covenant complete) in the midst of his tent (ahal: alaph (head) hal (shining) )

The spiritual picture is of: The Rest was confirmed with the hand authority and ceased to work (digging is a work) and the hand covenant was complete in the midst of the tent.

Ham : His Hebrew name ‘Cham’ which is a picture of separation of water. Chet means separate and Mem waters.


Gen 9:22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw (yara) the nakedness (aruth) of his father (abh), and told  (yagad) to his two brothers outside

Yara: from Ar which means ‘see/ appearance’


Yara is ‘closely watched for harvest’

Aruth: from ‘ar/aru’ which means ‘see the resh’ When the enemy is captured, he is stripped of his clothes to the skin and carefully watched. 


Yagad:

Ya (hand) gad (fortune)

Gad:


The English translation ‘told’ is incorrect as the Abary word for ‘told’ is ‘nagad’. ‘
‘Yagad’ is spiritually translated as ‘hand fortune’

Spiritually the verse shows us:  One that was separated from the waters, the father of Canaan, carefully watched for the shame of his father and hand fortuned the Jews and the Gentiles.
Remember ‘Shem’ was the father of the Yahudi’s (Jews) and ‘Yapheth’ the father of the Gentiles.

Matt 27:28 They stripped Him (Yahusha) of His own garments and put a scarlet robe on Him.

John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Yahusha, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top throughout.

The picture is of the husband (aysh) of adamah , the true Rest giver brought down to the ground being mocked for his nakedness causing the ceasing of the work.

Yahusha took our nakedness upon himself.

And who does this? The one who sat with him to feast with him/his own son but now separated from him.

Gen 9:23 But Shem and Yapheth took a garment (shamlah)  and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward (acharnayth) and covered (kasah)  the nakedness (aruth)  of their father; and their faces were turned away (acharnayth), so that they did not see their father’s nakedness (aruth).

Shamlah:

Sham: 


Lah:


Acharnayth:

Achar: A time, person or thing that follows after.


Nun is the life/seed and ‘yath’ is closely related to the ‘ath’ the alaph thu. ‘Yath’ means hand covenant.

‘Acharnayth’ –‘ A time of life which is the hand covenant is followed after’
The true sons from Jews (Shem) and Gentiles (Yapheth) took a sham (breath) lah (weary) and walked backward (ancient paths) with their faces away from the nakedness of their father.

The picture is of : The true sons from the Jews and the Gentiles in their weary breath walked in the ancient paths (following the hand covenant) being away from the mocking of the nakedness of their father which their brother Cham who was separated from them indulged in the hand fortune rather than following the hand covenant.

Mal 4:5 Behold, I am sending you EliYah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of Yahuah
Mal 4:6 He shall restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I shall come and smite the land with a curse. 

Yahuchanan (John) the Baptist came in the Ruach of EliYahu to prepare the way for Yahuah. This same Ruach of prophecy is on the people of Yahuah who walk in ancient paths and teach the truth from dabar.

Matt 25:44 “Then they themselves also shall answer, saying, ‘Our Master, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’”

Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which you saw, and the living creature, these shall hate the harlot and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh and shall burn her up with fire.

1 Joh5:5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yahusha is the Son of the Alahym?
1 Joh5:6 This is he that came by water and blood (and by spirit), Yahusha the Mashiyach; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
1 Joh5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.
1 Joh5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree in one.
1 Joh5:9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of Alahym is greater; for the testimony of Alahym is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

1 John 5:5-9 shows that Mashyach's flesh and blood was not inherited from earthly seed as Ruach, Water and Blood agree in one. This is the testimony of Alahyhm concerning His Son. That's why He could say that His flesh is meat indeed and His blood drink indeed. Eternal life which was with the Father was manifest unto us.

But there are those who are darkened by carnal ‘hand fortune’ and not following the ‘hand covenant’, these are against Yahusha ha Mashiyach and are in deception that they are eating his flesh as bread indeed but they are actually eating the flesh of the whore (Rev 17:16)

They hate the earthly Yarashalam which is in bondage with her children for she rejected the Mashiyach but at the same time they feast on her delicacies by saying they are Turah observant and observe her carnal feasts in a strange land and are not seeing the captivity and desolation. They are part of this Mystery Babylon whom they show an outward form of hatred but are actually eating her flesh and make her desolate and burn her to the ground.

 Heb 6:6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify to themselves the Son of the Alahym and put Him to open shame.

They crucify to themselves the Son of Alahym and put him to open shame.
The Rest was confirmed with the hand authority and ceased to work and the hand covenant was complete in the midst of the tent and remains completed.

The Turah clearly instructs not to uncover the nakedness of your father and mother and remember this that the Turah is spiritual. The spirit is hidden in the letter.
