Thats easy…..
I want to preface this by posting this first.
Malachi 3:6
6 “For I am the Lord, I change not;”
God does not change….ever. His law of old remains even to this day.
Polygamy was never a practice that was condemed in Gods government. Its not an immoral or abominable practice.
During the time of christ however? Israel were under certain curses from God and he commanded that they obeyed the laws of the governments they were under so long ae they were not making them break the laws of God that is.
Polygamy was a choice. Not a commandment. An israelite could choose to be polygamous or monogamous. They were not to be judged as a result of either choice.
But come the roman empire? If you do the historical reaearch? Youll find that the law of monogamy was instituted in their government. Which israel were under and had to follow as they ceased control over southern israel and jerusalem. Thats why king herod a roman was king in israel. It was a curse from God on the israelites.
But this is why paul said be the husband of one wife. Because that was the law of the land at that time.
Romans 13:1-2
Let every soul (israelites) be subject unto the higher powers. (Gentile governments) For there is no power but of God: (God gave it to them) the powers that be are ordained of God. (His will/for a reason)
Whosoever (israelite) therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they (israelites) that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. (A curse)
this is why we polygamy spoken of in a positive light (its not immoral) in the old testament but now shunned away from in the new testament (husband of one wife)
Its cuz of israelites state of subjection to the roman government (edom) which God put over them as a curse.
“Marriage in ancient Rome (conubium) was strictly a monogamous institution: a Roman citizen by law could have only one spouse at a time. The practice of monogamy distinguished the Greeks and Romans from other ancient civilizations, in which elite males typically had multiple wives.“
1 Timothy 3:2 (roman empire era)
“A (israslite) bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;”
Titus 1:5-6
For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.”
Notice a correlation though with one wife? In the new testament? Its not even honestly directed at the nation as a whole. But rather placed on the leaders of the nations churches. The bishops. All israel arent bishops. So you cant even apply bishop to all all israel. He said bishops of israel, be the husbands of one wife. Not all israel.
Nevertheless it was still governmental law to be monogamous only so any who would practice it would be judged during that time and punished harshly under roman law.
My point is proving that God has never condemed polygamy and matter of fact he blessed it and it also will return to the israelites once his kingdom is being established on earth.
Isaiah 4:1-2
“And in that day (post armageddon) seven women (multiple wives) shall take hold of one man, (singular) saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, (wife) to take away our reproach.”
(Shame) reproach means shame as (it is a shame for a woman not to be married, be it monagamous or polygamous she needs to be called by a mans name. And prophecy here is stating in that day theyll be begging to share a man to get their shame removed from them)
“In that day shall the branch of the LORD (the israelites) be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. (The israealites who are redeemed in christ)
Isaiah 60:21-22
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning (oppression and captivity) shall be ended.
Thy people (israelites) also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land (of israel) for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.”
See that? A little one become a thousand? Thats referring to multiplying and growing strong as a race. God said he will hasten it. That means itll happen fairly quickly. How does a nation grow strong in number Quickly?
Polygamy. As was mentioned in isaiah 4 that for example….7 women will be begging to be the wives of one man. You can say thats also a metaphor for jesus christ too. Either of which would be right.
The marriage between (israelite) man and woman (women) represent the relationship between israel and God.
Polygamy will be reinstituded under Gods law and government. As monogamy was instituted by Gentile kingdoms. Not Gods law. But was set up as a curse believe it or not.
But once israel is redeemed that curse is no more and israel will gain the power from God and grow strong and quickly as a nation with Gods commandments instituted as law in ghe earth. Which means polygamy.
Im not sure if itll be allowed for all other nations who will be governed slightly differently and separate from Israel. but it most certainly will be for the redeemed israelites.
Now lets get the actual proof of its blessing from God.
Dueteronomy 21:15-17
If a (israelite) man have two wives, (polygamy) one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated?
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.”
See that? Now if it was condemed dont you think God who isnt the author of confusion? Would say outright a man shall never have more then one wife? It is fornication and an sbomination and you shall be put to death if you practice it?
You have to use common sense. To be married in ancient israel required a series of events. These wives of this man were PUBLICLY KNOWN. The community knew of these marriages and it was perfectly fine. Never condemed.
God just regulated it for the sake of the kids when it comes to inheritance of his things. The first born gets it whether youre good with the mother of him or not.
But the act itself of having multiple wives was never condemed as a “sin” or immoral practice.
This is why King Davids sin wasnt having multiple wives. It was that he commited adultery by stealing ANOTHER MANS WIFE.
He could have as many wives of his own as he desired and could handle. But he could not take another mans wife. Which he did with Bathsheba. And thats what angered God and caused him to curse david and bathsheba by taking their first born son away at birth with death.
For the sin of adultery. Not polygamy. Which tells you polygamy was blessed by God always has been and always will be once the gentile kingdoms are over and Gods law is established in the earth and enforced by the israelites redeemed in christ.
You said show you in the bible so im doing just that.
2 samuel 12:7-10
“And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's WIVES (Plural/polygamy blessed confirmed) into thy bosom, (heart) and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah;
(God declared i blessed you david and gave you your masters castle and his WIVES. Not his “wife” he said WIVES….sssss plural. And saul had about 12 wives and David they were now his after sauls death. To do with as he pleased so long as he took care of them as THEIR husand.)
The woman cant have multiple husbands. But the man was blessed to have multiple wives. This should tell you that society today is backwards and confused and haters of God. Especially modern day women. Who truly believe theyre on tge same level as men when God says no they are not. They are servants of men, and a good assistant for men. Period. To be a companion and help pro create and give them plenty of intimacy according to Proverbs 5:18-19
This is the duty of woman aka her place…. With the man. Not his boss or overseer. But his fervant and loyal lover. so if you got a woman? Get her in check and quit simping. And if she has issues with following the ways of God and respecting her place under you? Then get rid of her and find someone who will. Do not let them have power of you. And do not have shame when you tell them their place with you.
You want her to fight you and get uptight about it because its exposing her and making your job easier. Theres no greater feeling then a woman who humbly submits to you and understands her place and loyally loves you and serves you always. As you love her and do your duties as a man for her.
There is no better sex then the sex of a submissive and cheerfully submissive wife. Its undefiled and a blessing from God so enjoy it all the days of your life.
Proverbs 5:19
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts (body) satisfy thee at ALL times; and be thou ravished always with her love.”
See that? Dont let a jezebel fool you and make you feel bad for embracing your nature as a male on this earth? God wants you to emjoy her body at all times and he wants her in full submission to you. You have never experienced tru love until you have developed this spirit in a woman. It takes a minute to get them out of modern day corrupt society and female dominant philosophies which are not of God. God is pro patriarchy. Heck God is pro “mysoginy”. But women with the eve rebellious spirit and jezebel spirits hate this and will never. And thus suffer a rude awakening during judgment day.
Like he said many will be scrambling then they see their friends and family females dropping like flies in that day and realising they may be next. They wont be saying “no man owns me, or ill never share a man with another woman” in that day. Theyll be begging to so they can hitch a ride of salvation through armageddon.
New testament paul stated a woman shall be saved in child birth. Meaning a woman is saved by her husband.
1 timothy 2:11-15
“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection (humble submission/no attitude or back talk).
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, (dont tell men what to do) but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (God has cursed woman to be in full submission because of eves rebelliousness and tempting adam to sin against God) men will do anything for their woman sadly. And get caught up in captain save a you know what. They dont realise theyve gave up their rightful Godly power and position over her and are not supppsed to be controlled by the woman. Its supposed to be the other way around. Youre the one supposed to put her on the couch and not give her any when she acts up. Youre supposed to kick her out of YOUR bed and treat yourself as the more valuable piece in the relationship. The true woman of God understands this and embraces this. But the wicked woman will not. Shell run to her other wicked and confused friends for support of her bs and manipulation tactics and think shes right because she has a pack of liars and haters of God in agreement with her. And the government on her side because modern marriage is evil and mainly against the righteous and blessed by God patriarchy of men. The government says no. Its evil.
Thats how you know what time were in. Time of the gentiles.
So stop simping for women and be a man. The right one for you will fall in line. Keep your emotions in check and play chess not checkers and you will always be in control of the situation with the woman. Let them call you a “creep” or an “ahole”. Guilt trip tactics. But God says youre well within your right so never have shame in your natural alpha spirit. Women dont like push overe either. They womt stop until you do something about it and change your energy attitude and approach and control the situation. Let them know youre not aftaid to lose them and that its not difficult to find another partner. If theyre easy to leave you after that because youre telling them the ways of God and they dont want to hear it? So be it. Dont shed not one tear for her. She cant respect you to fulfill her role with you? You cant respect her to fulfill yours.
It starts with them. Not us. Remember God said he made woman for the man not man for the woman.
Were too busy trying to be “perfect” for very flawed confused and indecisive individuals. (Women) and never holding them accountable because we fear theyll leave us. So? Let them leave. You dont want intimacy if it doesnt come with her spirit of humble submission and loyalty and joy with serving you. Thats the intimacy that fulfills a man truly,
Not your low self esteem and youre just happy she finally decided to “give you some” which belongs to you anyway the moment she decided to sleep with you (which is the marriage technically, is the sex) then they had the celebration and party to make it publicly known of the union.
Anyways finishing up this post now.
“Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.”
(Woman is saved by her husband….and how she treate him. Remember it was said wives submit to their husband as they submit to the church. It gave the order of heads and who is over who. God, christ, man, women, children.
Thats the order. And it was stated wives treat their men as if christ was their husband.
Shes supposed to treat you as if you were christ. Ofcourse nobody is not even close. But thats what should be the goal and how she looks at you. Do you think a wife of christ would back talk him? Make disrespectful jokes? Be manipulative and attitudy against him and his will?
Heck no…. They would be respectfully silent, (watch their mouth and think before they speak) smiling, happy go lucky robots in service of him. Thats how theyre to treat you. Thats a wife to finish up the point on how a wife should reverence her husband and that men have to STOP SIMPINING and worshipping women. Only worship them when they have eaned and deserved it based on how they treat you.
You wont find this in a worldly woman you need to first have a good heart for God and great knowledge of his word, be a good person and find a church style woman who knows of this. It wont work with non believers. They are wreckless and cant be stopped because they have no foundation and are lawless and could careless about God and in todays society the way things are set up? A man has to sell out his true nature to be with those kind of women. And its not worth it.
Once you realise intimacy is for you? Its not a privealage. You wont feel compelled to break your back for women who hate the natural order of things and the man being the lord over her. You will be her female dog… and any man who fears God that doesnt sit well with them. Those type of women fear these type of men. Were their kryptonite because nothing they can say can penetrate what we know and what its supposed to be as God is our foundation and root and emotions wont penetrate that or move that mountain of a spirit. Its submit or get out. Period.
Polygamy also takes a way much more power from the women also. Women are in for a rude awakening when God establishes his kingdom. Gone will be the days we are familiar with now where women rule over men like the bible said would happen.
Now finishing up the polygamy being blessed by God point (ive not forgot) finishing up the curse of David for adultery in samuel.
“and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.”
(He gave david the castle and the multiple wives to do with as he pleased (if he wanted to have sex with one wife a day, on a consecutive looping repeat. He could do just that and was perfectly in his moral right)
Women kill me with that why are you looking at other women? I should be enough for you. They dont realise hpw natural polygamy was and this why “men “cheat” because naturally were wired to be with more then one woman. But women have an evious thirst for power and control and fear submission its that eve and jezebel spirit. Eve caused death to come into the world and brought a curse upon her pwn body in child birth for conspiring to havd adam do against God. God made the woman pay for that and commamded the man rule over her and tell her what to do. Not the other way around.
Dont let the womens rights movemeny fool you. Same as the lbgtq rights. Its rooted in wickedness and vain aspirations against the will of God.
But like darth vader said to director krennic in rogue one (if youre a star wars fan, im a huge fan) vader force choked himmand said be careful not to choke on your aspirations….. director.
Well the women choked on their aspirations as we gave in and gave them their power today but at the cost of our role. There is no equality 50-50 that does not exist.
I belive in being fair however and give and take. My wife is very submissive to me. She has her moments but as a rule she serves her role and understands it. There is no 50-50. I give her when im ready to give her based off how she serves me. She doesnt command of me but i respectfully command of her usually in a soft tone. I dont meed to yell or be annahole. I just tell her what i want and i get it. And i reward her as a result. So she trusts me and is happy in the role. This happens when both genders try to fully embrace theirvrespective roles God has for eachother. Man leads woman submits. Man submits when woman does her job well without attitude.)
Back to david…
“Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. Now therefore the sword (curse) shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.”
In conclusion the point was proving polygamy was blessed by God.
See God declared he gave him the multiple wives and said of that wasnt enough i wouldve given you more wives. The most neautiful women in all of israel. Spiritually and physically.
Were talking dimes. Stacked physical bodies, with soft sensual humble voices and submissive personalities.
David was supposed to knocked himself out. But pride and ego and arrogance crept in and he felt it good for him to take another man (a friend of his at that) one and only wife.
See it was generally the rich who practiced polygamy because they could afford to take care of the wives equally.
The poor of less fortunate financially generally had 1-3 wives.
In this case uriah had one, bathsheba. And david took her from him and enforced his power on her and impregnated her and conspired to have the secret hidden so mucg he had uriah fight in an suicide war battle where he died in and never found out.
God madd david pay for this sin of adultery, lie and murder.
Not polygamy. David was not in trouble and wouldve been perfect had he just dealt with his own plenty wives and he couldve even got more if that wasnt enough.
Personally i think 12 with a few more is a nice rotation to have at your disposal on a daily basis.
In conclusion point proven. Polygamy was blessed by God. God is not giving anyone sin and blessing them to commit it without consequences. It doesnt work that way. This is called common sense. Polygamy was blessed. It became unlawful not from Gods will but from gentile governments instituting it as population control. And forcing the people to not do it.
But it will be established again after judgmentday.
