What God Has Yoked Together.... “…What God, then, yokes together, let not man be separating” (Mk 10:19) Since this saying follows an explanation involving
the joining of the flesh of a man and a woman, it has always been considered
that this was simply a literal yoking of two people into one flesh.
But it has a far deeper meaning than that. We know that men and women of the world “yoke
together” all the time according to their own will.
The joining of the flesh in today’s societies in most cases does not
involve a covenant (marriage agreement) of any kind and is therefore done
outside of the context of the above scripture since everything in God’s
perfect justice system requires a covenant to be valid. The yoking that takes place between those who are
outside of a covenant are not yoked together by God, but by men.
And of course men can and are always separating what they themselves are
yoking together! Now, when a man and a women marry in a true church
of God and make a covenant (through their vows to each other) in the eyes of
God, these two will be yoked together (in the flesh and in spirit providing one
of them is spirit baptized) by virtue that covenant and
is a valid agreement in the eyes of God. They
then consummate their marriage covenant in the bridal chamber and that should be
the end of the matter as far as the flesh goes at least.
This however is just the image of what this scripture means in a heavenly
sense. We are given a hint to this
great secret in Ephesians: 30
for we are members of His [Jesus’] body. 31
For this "a man shall leave his [physical] father
and [physical]
mother
and shall be joined to his wife [the church],
and the two shall be one
flesh [in
the body of Christ on earth]." 32 This secret is great: yet I' am saying this as to Christ [the man] and
as to the ecclesia [his wife]. 33
Moreover, you also individually, each be loving his own wife thus, as
himself, yet that the wife may be fearing the
husband. (Eph 5) So here we have the joining of the flesh as
becoming members of the “body of Christ” by joining His true church.
But what else might we learn from this?
Well we know that in order to become a member of the body of Christ, we
must enter into a covenant with Him in some way and we already understand this
to be a holy
spirit covenant that we call the Jacobian Angelic Covenant (JAC).
To enter into this covenant requires a baptism into a true church of the
presence which unites us with our angelic souls making us a “new creation”.
This gives the words; “What God, then, yokes together, let not man be
separating” much greater meaning. In other words, man cannot possibly separate this union, only God can for once you are yoked to Christ by gaining you angelic soul as a member of the holy spirit, man’s ability to separate you is removed. That is why we have the scripture: 28 "And do not fear those who are killing the body, yet are not able to kill the soul. Yet be fearing Him, rather, Who is able to destroy the soul as well as the body in Gehenna. (Mat 10) The
only way you can be separated from your angelic soul is by breaking your spirit
baptism by committing unrepentant sins. Just as Judas had in effect fornicated with the
Pharisees for monies to turn over Jesus, he in effect blasphemed the holy
spirit with which he was a part of as an apostle of Jesus.
In doing this he fornicated with an evil spirit and broke his holy spirit
baptism which is the only grounds for divorce in the spiritual sense.
So Satan was able to enter him when Jesus gave him the sop that he dipped
in the common bowl. Had Judas been
yoked to his angelic soul at the time, Satan could not have entered him as you
will see explained below. So once we are yoked together with Christ in a holy spirit covenant, we are also yoked together with our angelic souls and these cannot be separated by men but only by God. There is a section in the Book of (or gospel of) Philip that illustrates this point pretty well. The forms of evil spirit include male ones and female ones [male and female demons (or fallen angels) proving there are male and female angels]. The males [male demons] are they which unite with the [human] souls which inhabit a female form [body], but the females [female demons] are they which are mingled with those [human souls] in a male form [body], through one who was disobedient [by committing a life abusing sin and breaking their spirit baptism (losing their angelic soul before being sealed)]. And none shall be able to escape them [these demons], since they detain him [from gaining it back before the resurrection] if he does not receive a male power or a female power, the bridegroom and the bride [the yoking of the human and angelic soul by covenant]. One receives them [the male or female power] from the mirrored bridal chamber [the earthly symbolic baptism – being born again]. When the wanton women [female demons] see a male [human soul] sitting alone [unsanctified or divorced from his angelic soul], they leap down on him and play with him and defile him. So also the lecherous men [male demons], when they see a beautiful woman sitting alone, [unsanctified or divorced from her angelic soul] they persuade her and compel her, wishing to defile her. But if they see the man and his wife sitting beside one another [the angelic and human soul yoked together], the female [demon] cannot come into the man, nor can the male [demon] come into the woman. So if the image [the human soul] and the angel [angelic soul] are united with one another [yoke together by a holy spirit covenant], neither can any venture to go into the man or the woman. Interestingly
we are given a hint of how the above comes into play by the information provided
in Acts which demonstrates that the evil spirits know who is and who isn’t
yoked to their angelic souls: 16
Now it occurred, at our going to
prayer, a certain maid, having a python spirit, meets us, who afforded a vast income to her masters, divining. 17
She', following after Paul and us, cried, saying, "These men are slaves of
God most high, who
are announcing to you a way of salvation!" (Acts 16) Of
course Paul rebuked the spirit and it came out of her, but it caused some great
dissention among those that got illicit gain from it.
We also have this one: 15
Yet answering, the wicked spirit said to them, "Jesus, indeed, I know, and in Paul am I versed, yet who are
you'?" (Acts 19) 16
And leaping on them, the man in whom the wicked spirit was, getting the mastery
of both, is too strong for them, so that, naked and wounded, they are escaping
out of that house. So
what we are being told in the Gospel of Philip is perhaps being verified through
these events in Acts in that the demons are not only able to distinguish who is
yoked to the holy spirit (their angelic soul) but are able to get mastery over
those who are not! |
