And G_D blessed them (man made in YHWH's image) and G_D said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish (Strong's#4390 maw-lay meaning confirm+consecrate among other possible meanings) the earth, and subdue(Strong's#3533 kaw-bash meaning to conquer, tread down,or bring into bondage) it: and have dominion(Strong's#7287 raw-daw meaning to prevail against,have dominion) over the fish of the Sea, and over the fowl of the Air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. There you have YHWH's first command to mankind. As YHWH's true Commandment keeping followers we must keep this Command as assuredly as any other. But to do so we must first understand what YHWH is saying to us and what was the purpose of this. Or to put it in my little girls words "Why?" Some times G_d wants us to ask why, so he can revile his plans to us. Most people look right over this verse and say YHWH is simply telling them to have children but I believe if we take a deeper look here more starts to unfold. Adam and Eve were to be fruitful and multiply and then as the result replenish the earth. As I have already pointed out the word used for replenish is maw-lay meaning to confirm and consecrate the earth. So then the key to understanding this command is how do we confirm and consecrate the earth. Would simply laying down with a woman and having children do this? Of course not! So there must be a deeper spiritual meaning to all of this. In the Book of Isaiah we find the following Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled( the opposite of consecrated) under the inhabitants there of; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinances, broken the everlasting covenant(their marriage vows to YHWH) So YHWH says we defile the earth by not keeping the Law, and changing the ordinances(he set up from everlasting to be keep forever) which are part of the everlasting covenant.(or part of our Marriage vows) It would appear that the opposite is then also true to consecrate the earth we must keep the Laws of YHWH, and keep the unchanged ordinances of YHWH and by doing so confirm the everlasting covenant(our marriage vows to YHWH) Had Adam and Eve done so their children would have turned the whole world into a paradise. Had Israel done so they would have entered the promised land. Should we do so we will enter the promised land. Rev12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of YHWH and have the testimony of Yashua Messiah. Should we brake the Laws and change the ordinances for mans holidays thus braking our marriage vows YHWH will divorce us. "For if G_D spared nor the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not there." Romans 11 As YHWH's followers we will one day take part in the marriage supper. When we as YHWHs True believer will be Married to YASHUA Messiah as YHWH's proxy and our High priest. He must take a Virgin for a bride.Levi21:7-14 by breaking our marriage vows we commit Adultery to our betrothed Husband Yashua Messiah and he can not take a whore for a Wife. So have no doubt about it YHWH will destroy them which destroy, corrupt, pervert, or defile the earth. See Rev11:18 So Please I plaid with you learn to keep the everlasting covenant your marriage vows to YHWH by learning to keep all of YHWH's Commandments, Laws, and ordinances. Please don't exchange them for mans. Remember YHWH will Destroy them which Destroy the earth and fail to keep the everlasting covenant. For this the concluclusion of the whole matter: Fear YHWH, and keep his commandments:(out of Love) for this is the whole duty of man. For YHWH shall bring every work into Judgment, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13,14 |
