When one pulls up to a stop sign what is it that is being communicated to the person? Undoubtedly the obvious communication is that the person must stop. But why? Nothing is said on the sign as to why the person must stop. This is taken as a thing that is supposed to be understood by the driver, or the person should not be driving. The reason for the command is for the driver to stop in order that he can look both ways and thus respond to the traffic that may or may not be present on the road that day. Thus the actual commandment only has value because it allows for the more important reasoning behind it, which is to slow down sufficiently (stop) to consider the traffic on the road way and act accordingly.
God's laws pertaining to fornication are like the stop sign. The greatest importance of them is in the reasoning behind them, this reasoning goes beyond the immediate sphere of men's lives. Undoubtedly there is extreme importance in the immediate sphere of men's lives for God's laws pertaining to marriage to be fulfilled, for this allows for stable and happy lives for all involved. Yahweh's laws related to fornication (marriage) have not only an earthly need for fulfillment, meaning they are needed to properly direct the affairs of man on the earth for his immediate good and protection, but also they represent heavenly and eternal realities at the same time. The following is an explanation of the heavenly realities that are reflected by the practice of fornication, therein, defining the reason for the most extreme reason for God's hatred of fornication. For to violate Yahweh's laws pertaining to fornication is to directly slander the heavenly realities that the faithful marriage was created by God to picture.
Fornication:
This act is similar to that of adultery. When a man and a woman fornicate it means that they participate in the act of marriage without entering into the covenant of marriage. This not only has sincere negative affects in the lives of the fornicators, but in that the man and woman were created to be living mortal representations of God ,and the Church, their act of sin brings forth the the wrong testimony of heavenly realities. The man was made to be an illustration of God Himself, the woman was made be an illustration of the Church. The man and the woman must relate to one another in respect to this, so that every affair of their lives brings forth a proper testimony of the realities that they were created to represent. When a man and woman fornicate their actions are testifying (again, in that they were created as representations of both the Lord and the believer) that God and a soul of man will enjoy the intimacy of marriage without first entering a covenant relationship. In other words, that an unconverted soul who has not experienced the regeneration of the Holy spirit, who is not born again, can share intimacy with the Lord. This is an impossibility! Such action is a lie against the truth! The Holy Spirit will not enter and abide with any soul of of man and share communion with that person until that soul has been brought under the blood of Christ and has experienced regeneration. God will not dwell in an unholy place. So the heavenly illustration that fornication brings forth is that of God being married to (sharing intimacy with) a soul of man who is not His, and the woman's part illustrates a soul of man sharing intimacy with God without entering a covenant relationship, without being born again. These pictures are impossible and are altogether slanderous to the truth.
So what we find in modern America is that our humanistic thought patterns, that have sprung forth from man's wisdom (versus obedience to God's laws) have created a society filled with fornication. It is referred to as casual sex, free love, teen sex, and I suppose by many other descriptions, but bottom line it is in Yahweh's definition: fornication. This fact reflects that our generation is sinful toward God. It is that simple. It is no more complicated then that. Yes, we might boast that we are Christians, but Jesus said that “a tree will be known by its fruits”. And in the end, the real values of a person are known by what that person does or allows.
Fornication misrepresents God and His purposes, and is in direct violation to Yahweh's laws.
The word America is repent! Turn to God from the wisdom of men. Flush the worthless and confused preachers and educators that teach for doctrine the wisdom of men. (man's misguided intelligence that refuses to acknowledge Yahweh and His laws) Yahweh made man as the highest of all his creation, to live in the honor of knowing Him and His ways, thus by their lifestyle reflecting His truth in the world. He did not create man to wallow in the mire of the immorality that springs forth from the wisdom of men. For the wisdom of men without the fear of God is at best foolishness.
