8 There is but one, and he hath not a second, no child, no brother, and yet he ceaseth not to labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches, neither doth he reflect, saying: For whom do I labour, and defraud my soul of good things? in this also is vanity, and a grievous vexation.
9It is better therefore that two should be together, than one: for they have the advantage of their society:
10 If one fall he shall be supported by the other: woe to him that is alone, for when he falleth, he hath none to lift him up.
11 And if two lie together, they shall warm one another: how shall one alone be warmed?
12 And if a man prevail against one, two shall withstand him: a threefold cord is not easily broken.
I heard Glenn Beck on his TV show today quote this passage and I found it interesting in light of what I wrote earlier about individualism and salvation. We can't do this alone. It does require a village, of sorts; just not the village that the Progressives would like us to be part of.
As things begin to spin apart here in America and in the world we must turn to our families. Our families are our strength. If we can get everything straight there then, and only then, we should move out into our social group; friends, neighbors, communities. You see, the path, not only to salvation but to peace here on earth starts in the family, not the government. Each of us is part of something that is holy, sanctified through marriage and empowered through birth and death, grace and prayer, struggle and victory. God and family provide safe harbor in times of trouble and it is from this harbor that the ships of restoration and redemption must sail.
All power in the temporal order flows from from God through the family. The solution to most problems can be found in the family. Families must be supported by society in order for society to function correctly. Parents need to be allowed to exercise the power that they've been given by God. The state has no part in any family decisions unless the family has broken down and can no longer function; and even then the state should be the last resort. That's why we have churches and fraternal organizations. The power of the family should be held sacrosanct. A mans home is his castle and his family is his kingdom.
This is a reflection of the fatherhood of God. Just as the family reflects the triune nature of God it also is structured in the same way that God's kingdom is. Husband and wife share the same nature through marriage , just as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost share their divine nature. The same relationship is experienced in marriage as in the Trinity; husband and wife are the same yet the husband is the head. I'm sure that's going to get someone mad (sorry, honey).
"But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.
And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
Mark 10:6-9
"Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:
That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.
So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:
Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband."
Ephesians 5:22-33
That passage from Ephesians is bound to get women riled up. Why? It's a clear picture of how the family is supposed to work. It is a reflection of the relationship between Jesus and the Father and also Jesus and the Church. This is how the world is supposed to work because it's the way God works.
Do you see how easy it is for some one of a Marxist/Progressive/Masonic/Satanic bent to pervert the meaning of this passage and in so doing to turn the natural order on its head? Do you see why religious education has been banned from schools and why religion has been diluted by the false gospel of social justice? Can you understand why men and women have been pitted against each other through the Feminist movement? All of this has been done to destroy the family because if the family is destroyed then God's conduit of grace is destroyed. This isn't Barack Obama's plan or George Soros' plan. This plan comes straight from hell and the mouth of the Devil! And he's managed to keep us all focused on politics while he sets fire to God's creation with the intent of burning it to the ground.
Focus on your family men and get your house in order. It is our responsibility and if we don't do it we will be held accountable. Wives, you have responsibility in this to. You and your husband are one flesh through marriage so you must act in accord, not just for yourselves but for your children and all of humanity. The power comes through you, not some Satanic government overlord, bent on control and destruction of all mankind.
It takes a village all right; a village of families.
