Is There a Mother in Heaven? Part 7 of 10—Is There Marriage in Heaven?

If there were no Mother in heaven, then God, the Father, would be forever single. Of course, this is how 99.999 percent of all Christianity view him anyway (guesstimate mine).

But if God were forever single, then why would he care if his children were married or not? What purpose could it possibly serve?

If man were modeled after God, and the scriptures tell us he was, then why would he require his children to do something he himself was unwilling to do—i.e., be married?

Remember, in the Lord’s Prayer Jesus addressed the Father:

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10.)

Does this sound familiar? It should. It serves as the basis for: As above, so below; as below, so above.

If there were no marriage in heaven, then why would God insist there be marriage on earth? It simply makes no sense.

Let us remember what Jesus said:

“And he answered and said unto them [i.e., Pharisees] Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? [This is the same thing Adam told God when he found himself suddenly with a wife—Genesis 2:24.] Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder [i.e., divide or separate].” (Matthew 19:4-6.)

Thus we see that not only did God bring the man and the woman together, he joined them together. That is, he married them! Remember the initial command the male and female were given on the sixth day?

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”(Genesis 1:28.)

It must be noted this command was given before Adam and Eve were placed in the garden of Eden—even before the garden was created! And surely that command extended to them once they were placed in the garden. And just as certain, Adam and Eve could have been fruitful, multiplied and filled the earth without being married or joined together.

Certainly, much of the world views marriage, or the lack of it, in this latter light. Yet the Bible is full of scriptures concerned with marriage and its various aspects in both the Old and New Testaments.

The only solution I can see that makes any sense is this: Since God ordained marriage on earth, he must have followed a pattern already existing in heaven. Where else would he get the idea from? As above, so below; as below, so above.
