Many who have not yet had the revelation of the restoration of biblical marriage at the end of this
age, continue to misuse Proverbs 31, even as they do with Matthew 19. In Matthew 19, as we have
clearly shown elsewhere, Yahushua does not discuss monogamy over polygyny, or even that
monogamy was the original design. (We have shown elsewhere that a very strong case can be made from the
Book of Genesis that Adam had 2 wives. Therefore patriarchy, woman made for man and neither monogamy nor
polygyny was the original pattern.) Please see:

Adam the Polygamist
Did Adam Really Have Two Wives?
The Rebirth of Yisraelite Marriage pages 8-15:


In Matthew 19 the Moshiach warns the leaders against divorce on demand. He teaches that any man
that marries an undivorced woman commits fornication, causing the woman to commit adultery. Or
anyone that divorces their spouse for any reason other than unfaithfulness commits adultery.
Please see: The Rebirth of Yisraelite Marriage pages 7-8,289-292.

Since polygyny is blessed and many were in YHWH’s perfect will in its practice, Yahushua cannot
allegedly come along in Matthew 19 and simply curse or disallow what Torah calls a blessing when
properly regulated and done correctly. If that is what Yahushua allegedly did and taught, then He
could not qualify as the Messiah; for the Messiah would come to AFFIRM YHWH’S ways and not
override them in a new dispensation.
Yahushua said this in Matthew 5:17-18:
17 Think not that I am come to weaken, or destroy the Torah, or the neviim: I have not come to
weaken, or destroy, but to completely reveal it in its intended fullness.
18 For truly I say to you, Until the current shamayim and earth pass away, not one yud, or one
nekudah shall by any means pass from the Torah, until all be fulfilled.

Let’s now seek to untwist the traditional messy religious teachings of Mishle-Proverbs 31.
Chapter 31:
1The words of melech Lemu-El, a message that his eema taught him.
2 What, my son? And what, the son of my womb? And what, the son of my vows?
Marital vows that birthed her son and here is the patriarchal message!
3 Give not your strength to women, nor your halachot to that which destroys melechim.
The warning is that when a man takes more than one covenant wife that the patriarch does not turn
over lordship (strength) or his priesthood to these women. The very fact that she warns him about
women and not a single woman, shows that this is acceptable in Hebraic culture, which predates
Islam, Mormonism or any other kind of religious perversion.
4 It is not for melechim, O Lemu-El, it is not for melechim to drink wine; nor for rulers to drink strong
drink:
5 Lest they drink, and forget the Torah, and pervert the mishpat of any of the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that are of heavy levavot.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for those who cannot speak for themselves and are appointed to destruction.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
This is why I have spoken publicly and prophetically at this point in time. So that my mouth may
speak forth and declare the ways of the Master Yahushua. And for those who cannot speak for
themselves and for those who are called to live a polygynous lifestyle, yet do not have the platform
that Yah has granted me. I would rather make enemies because I teach the truth in love, than to
allow the guiltless and the righteous that practice plural marriage continue to be castigated and
lumped in with the perverts of society. The media piles on an occasional abuse in the lifestyle, but
never highlights or accentuates the positive examples. They use unjust weights and measures against
plural marriage, without ever sighting the grandiose abuses in monogamy, and the overwhelming
fact that 99% of domestic, child and spousal abuses, with their subsequent restraining orders, are
perpetrated by monogamists, in a society bent on mandating monogamy. That is why we must speak
up and we must be heard!
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? 1 For her price is far above rubies.
Nowhere does this question limit the amount or number of covenant virtuous women. That has for
too long been read into the verse.
11 The lev of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him tov and not evil all the days of her chayim.
She will serve his vision and his calling not her own.
13 She seeks wool, and linen, and works willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she brings her food from far.
1 In this verse starts the eshet chayil, or “virtuous woman” chapter.
15 She rises also while it is still night, and provides food to her household, and a portion to her young
women.
Every patriarch needs a matriarch. The matriarch is the first wife who in my view should be the most
emotionally and spiritual mature one. She is to lovingly guide and teach the younger and the less
experienced in marriage. She prepares food or breakfast in this case before the day starts at sunrise,
for both her patriarchal husband as well as HER YOUNG WOMEN. In a biblical Hebraic family, the
younger women become her responsibility, as she mentors and provides for them, along with her
husband, their portions because she is the most virtuous. Now just because she is the matriarch and
called to be the esht chayil-virtous wife, that does not mean that there are not other virtuous
women-wives in the home being raised up and cared for by the first virtuous woman. Just the
opposite is true here, as we see other women sharing her home and assisting her in her business
ventures.
16 She considers a field, and buys it: with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with strength, and strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is tov: her lamp goes not out at night.
19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the linen.
She is a business lady within the confines of the home bringing business into the home. Her arms are
a metaphor for the other young women living and assisting in the home.
20 She stretches out her hand to the poor; yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all of her household is clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes herself quilts; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the zechanim of the land.
Her submission along with his other wives brings him honor in the community.
24 She makes fine linen, and sells it; and delivers girdles to the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall gilah in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with chochmah; and on her tongue is the Torah of chesed.
27 She looks well to the halachot of her household, and eats not the lechem of idleness.
The virtuous woman is a Torah keeper guarding both her husband and the young wives entrusted to
her care. She contributes both Torah knowledge and kindness and mercy to both her husband and
sister wives.
28 Her children in Yisrael rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but you have risen over them all.
A careful look at verse 29 again brings home the principle of Hebraic marriage. Who are these many
daughters? They are the daughters of Israel in the same home, under patriarchy, that are also called
virtuous. In context, these are NOT biological daughters, as children who are pre- puberty cannot be
mature enough emotionally or spiritually to be called virtuous. If we remain consistent in our
interpretation of Scripture and if the virtuous adjective applies to the first MORE VIRTOUS wife,
then the exact same description MUST apply to the other younger less virtuous wives! The first by
virtue of her matriarchal blessing and responsibility, is among the virtuous daughters’ of Zion, but
has risen above them all! Her husband praises her for her great love, character and selfless Hebraic
lifestyle as do her children.
30 Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fears YHWH, she shall be given tehilla.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own mitzvoth praise her in the gates.
It is not about who is the most beautiful, or the youngest, but who is the most virtuous. The most
virtuous who is able to rise above them all, she is the one that shall be praised; for she has risen
highest and with dignity and honor in her most noble calling.


With this correct and consistent view of Scripture, we can thank YHWH even more for His ways,
which remain eternally higher than our own ways and where the Yisraelite home is being restored
as the training center for virtuous Israelite men and women. The Israelite home must reflect
Yahushua’s home, where He deals with many wives, as seen in Matthew 25, some wise and
virtuous, some foolish. The Proverbs 31 model fits that of Yahushua and His patriarchal order, as
metaphorically taught and seen in Matthew chapter 25. Selah!

Was Monogamy the Original Perfect Pattern?

Was Monogamy the Original Perfect Pattern?
The Hebrew Holds the Key
By The RAMYK
Moon 8 Day 22 5992 SC

Who was the first woman? Certainly not Chavah because she was produced from
Ahdahm’s bones and flesh while the Hebrew text in Genesis 1:27 says the following:
VAYE-VRAH ELOHIM ET HA-AHDAHM BETZALMO-BETZELEM ELOHIM BARA
OTO ZACHAR VENEKEYVAH BARA OTAM.
Gen 1:27 So Elohim created ha’Ahdahm in His own image, in the image of
Elohim He created him; male and female He created them. The AHDAHM
produced a male and female.
So if he created them both then both were created from the earth while if you
remember Chava was not created from the earth but created from Adam. My point is
made that the first two humans were made from the earth which indicates there were
two women in the garden and not one as most have believed so what happened to
the original woman created from the earth along with the Ahdahm?
The idea that Adam had a wife prior to Eve is developed from an interpretation of the
Book of Genesis and its dual creation accounts; while Genesis 2:21-25 describes
Yahuwah's creation of Eve from Adam's rib, an earlier passage, 1:27, already indicates
that a woman had been made: "So Yahuwah created man in his own image, in the
image of Yahuwah created he him; male and female created he them." The chronology
of the text places Eve's creation after Yahuwah's words in Genesis 2:18 that "it is not
good for man to be alone" BECAUSE LILETH HAD ALREADY GONE HER OWN WAY BY
REFUSING TO BE WITH ADAM, EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD NOT YET LEFT THE GARDEN!
Back in Genesis 1:27 Yahuwah forms Lilith out of the clay from which he made Adam
but she and Adam bicker. Lilith claims that since she and Adam were created in the
same way they were equal and she refuses to submit to him:

ATTACK ON PATRIACRHY RIGHT OFF THE BAT! 

The first matriarchal spirit-rebellion uprising. We see how polygyny saved Ahdahm along with procreating the entire human race. So we see clearly into the spirit world and why s.a.tan so hates plural
marriage and has marked it for oblivion. It was through plural marriage provision that
the human race was procreated and by which we have ALL come into being!! It is that
image of YHWH upon us that s.a.tan so wants to destroy (John 10:10)! It is through
Eve Adam’s second wife and Lilith’s sister wife that Yahushua is born. Then again In
Matthew 1:1 Yahshua is born through Abraham and David’s lineage, both polygynists;
obviously s.a.tan has deceived billions through the years to hate this institution, so he
can dirty the handiwork and means by which Yahuwah entered the human race.
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that Elohim created man, in the
likeness of Elohim made he him; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them,
and called their name Adam, in the [same] day when they were created. 3 And Adam...begat a
son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth. —Genesis 5:1-3
(If Adam had 2 wives how many did his image-Seth have? Two!)
We see another confirmation that wife # 1 was made from EARTH not later but
the same day Adam came from earth! Second witness! Eve was NOT created the
same time but later! Wife # 1 was created on day 6. Genesis 1:31. Then Elohim
rested on the Shabbat 7th day Genesis 2:1-3. So what day was Eve made?
Probably the day after Shabbat, or Yom Rishon a new wife on the new week.
Genesis 2:18 and 20-23! There is an outside chance that the rib removal was not
a new work and would not be classified as work and as Adam celebrated his first
Shabbat that during Shabbat sleep YHWH brought forth Eve, just like today a
baby can be born on Shabbat without the parents breaking the Shabbat. Either
scenario works well.
Now note Adam’s literal words in verse 23! Now THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! In other
words, unlike Lilith from the earth, Eve is bone from his bone and flesh from his
flesh! In the Hebrew he exclaims the contrast between wife # 1’s origin and wife
# 2’s origin!
After Yahuwah created Adam, who was alone, He said, 'It is not good for man to be
alone.' He then created a woman for Adam, from the earth, as He had created Adam
himself, and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately began to fight. She said, 'I
will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are
fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.' Lilith
responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the
earth on the same sixth day.' But they would not listen to one another. When Lilith
saw this, she pronounced the Ineffable Name Yahuwah and flew away into the air.
In Isaiah 34:14 we have a pretty clear reference to this first wife named Lilith in
Hebrew, the root word being NIGHT-DARKNESS. Her exile from Eden is referenced:
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet in it with the wild beasts of the island, and the
billy-goats shall call to each other; the [definite article] night creature (LILIETH) also shall
rest there, and find for herself a place of rest. Verse 6 refers to Bozrah-Iraq the land where
the Tigris and Euphrates meet, the possible outer parts of the Garden of Eden.
This is why Yahuwah WARNED the second wife not to follow in the way of the first wife.
See the warning to the second wife in Genesis 3:16! This very warning indicates that
another event had taken place with the first woman, so that YHWH and Adam both
already knew that woman’s natural desire is to control, manipulate and emaciate the man.
She (Eve) and all women after her must battle and overcome this natural evil inclination
or the Yetzer Harah. Once the truth of the first wife disappeared, s.a.tan was free to
propagate the myth that monogamy is the original perfect pattern. Monogamy was not
only not perfect, see Lilith’s example, but it was not the original pattern, as there were 2
women in the Garden at the same time. One left one stayed. One from the ground called
or part of The Adam who became Lilith, the other from the rib and became Chavah. Let’s
look at Matthew 19 to PROVE that one man one woman was NOT the original pattern
and NOT His perfect will. His perfect will differs from family to family and must be
individually sought, not based on some myth called the perfect will of one man for one
woman. That’s a lie we have all bought into at one time. Matthew19:3-10. We read this
carefully and see that the issue is not the original pattern but the issue of divorce. Rather
than establish monogamy it honors ALL marriage and forbids divorce on demand! Still
with me!
Legend says-Adam stood in prayer before his Creator: 'Rebonon shel olam-Sovereign
of the universe!' he said, 'the woman you gave me has run away and rebelled.' At
once, the Holy One, blessed be He, sent these three angels Senoy, Sansenoy, and
Semangelof, to bring her back.
Said the Holy One to Adam, 'If she agrees to come back, what is made is good. If not,
she must permit one hundred of her children to die every day.' The angels left
Yahuwah and pursued Lilith, whom they overtook in the midst of the sea, in the
mighty waters wherein the Egyptians were destined to drown. They told her
Yahuwah's word, but she did not wish to return. The angels said, 'We shall drown you
in the sea.’
'Leave me!' she said. 'I was created only to cause sickness to infants. If the infant is
male, I have dominion over him for eight days after his birth, and if female, for twenty
days.’
When the angels heard Lilith's words, they insisted she go back. But she swore to
them by the name of the living and eternal Yahuwah: 'Whenever I see you or your
names or your forms in an amulet, I will have no power over that infant.' She also
agreed to have one hundred of her children die every day. Accordingly, every day one
hundred demons perish, and for the same reason, we write the angels' names on the
amulets of young children. When Lilith sees their names, she remembers her oath, and
the child recovers.
Another account
Lilith with Adam in the Garden of Eden
In some old Judeo-Christian traditions, Lilith was the original wife of Adam. She was
offended when he attempted to have her lie beneath him during sexual intercourse, and
would not meet his request. Comment!
She demanded equality with Adam, because they were created together in the image of
Elohim. When equality was refused her, she left in anger and made her home in caves on the
shores of the Red Sea, taking demons as lovers.
Adam complained to Elohim, who sent three angels (named Sanvi, Sansanvi, and
Semangelaf) to bring her back to Eden.
The angels ordered her to return, threatening that they would kill her children if she didn't
go back. Exclaiming that even this was better than returning to submission, she refused.
The angels carried out their threat. Elohim created a second wife for Adam- the docile Eve.
Lilith was written out of the Bible along the way by one of the many, many translators."
Close-The original pattern, to be even more precise, was not monogamy or plural but
PATRIARCHY: we know this because…
1. Genesis 2:18, which tells us that the woman was made “for (the man).”
2. Genesis 2:21-23, which tells us that the woman was made from the man.
3. The temporal sequence of the creation of the man and woman.
4. Adam’s naming authority and his naming of woman, both in her generic and personal aspect.
5. Elohim’s act of bringing the woman unto the man and the man to the woman.
6. The name of “Adam” itself.

Is Plural Marriage Really Illegal in the USA?

By Ben Szymanski

What Is The Law of the Land?

By The RAMYK-Apostle Rabbi Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky



This addendum shows clearly that what is in fact illegal are the current US laws that are unconstitutional, as well as an illegal ban on a practice YHWH blesses and will continue to bless. We have added this for those legal minds that desire to know how to follow plural marriage, yet are concerned with the laws of the land.

It may seem presumptuous for someone with no formal training in the law to write a legal opinion of a practice declared illegal by every one of the fifty states and held illegal by the United States Supreme Court. Recognizing that the blueprint of American government, the fundamental law of our land, was written to the understanding of every common citizen, however, I stand forward as one citizen in defense of the plural family, suggesting that our courts, legislatures, government officials and citizens have never been presented with, nor have they considered the arguments I will present here.



In the United States of America, government is not the law. In this country, government is subject to law, as is every citizen. Here, when government assumes a power not specifically granted by consent of the people government violates the law and any law created under illegally usurped power is not, in truth, law, but a violation of law.

It is assumed by many Americans that the U.S. Supreme Court is the court of last resort in this land. This is not true. Our court of last resort is “We the People.” This court was established by the Declaration of Independence, which declared the people’s right, their duty, to alter or abolish government when it becomes destructive of fundamental human rights. It is not reasonable to assume that any government will police itself. The Constitution has no power unless it is upheld and enforced by the People. No government is policed unless its own citizens police it.



This appeal is presented, therefore, to We the People, with the understanding that every judge, every prosecutor, every legislator and every government executive in the land is a member of this tribunal. I challenge any to publicly refute the reason and logic contained herein.



It is my contention that anti-bigamy statutes in the United States of America are violations of the law of this land, that they constitute violations of fundamental human rights; that patriarchal marriage has never in truth been illegal, but that government, by prohibiting it, illegally persecutes the family unit as a sovereign institution.





Family Sovereignty

Whether you believe in the Judeo-Christian account of Adam and Eve or hold to the Humanist concept of evolution, you must accept the fact that at some point in history, a man and a woman united to form the first unit of civilization on this planet, a family [after Lileth].

This first family relationship rose above the typical animal attractions that draw male and female creatures together for reproductive purposes or mutual survival. The first man and woman to form a family unit were drawn to each other by virtue, by the emotional energy of compassion unique to our species and were bound together by the selfless love this energy feeds.



Call them Adam and Lileth or Adam and Eve; the first couple on earth to form a family relationship did not have a county courthouse to go to for a marriage license, no justice of the peace or minister to perform a wedding ceremony, no county recorder to issue a marriage certificate and record their union. If they did engage in any kind of ritual marking family union, it is doubtful there were mortal witnesses to their sacred commitment and new family identity. In a world utterly void of civil government, they formed and maintained a family unit, the first earthly civilization in microcosm.



This truth is self-evident, that the family defines itself, by virtue, the energy of compassion and the tender emotions that bind individuals into one societal unit.

No civil government, no church, has the power to legislate or decree the love that binds individuals to each other in family relationships. These binding feelings exist only in liberty, by the choice of each individual. Once existent these feelings can be destroyed or abandoned only by the individuals themselves. The family institution exists only in liberty. This is also self-evident.



The family is a self-defined entity, existent by the choice of the individuals involved and held together by love, by virtue in action, by the power of human compassion.

In the early history of man the first families gathered and formed a community. To provide order to their society, each family sent representatives to a community council, forming the first civil government entity. The family existed before and is the founder of civil governments. This truth is also self-evident.



The family is a sovereign entity, self-defined, existing before civil government and independent of its approval. Civil government is a creature of the family, responsible to it, not for it.



The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 16:3)





-The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution-

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”





In Reynolds vs. United States (1879), the Supreme Court justices unanimously supported the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Law of 1862 against a constitutional challenge based upon freedom of religion. In his written opinion, Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite argued that every government had the power to decide whether patriarchal marriage or monogamy should be the basis of social life.





Obviously Congress also assumed they had this power when they passed the law, as did President Lincoln when he signed it, yet I would like to ask where in the Constitution was our national government given that power? Where in the Constitution is the federal government given any authority to define or place limits upon the family institution? In reading the Constitution I find no such power delegated to the federal government. I do, however, find two amendments that forbid this power to government.





The Supreme Court is considered our last resort in protecting the individual rights of citizens against the unjust power of government. We have here, however, an instance where that court openly usurped a power never given by consent of the People to dictate and enforce social norms among the citizenry. By assuming this power without the consent of the governed, both Congress and the Supreme Court violated the law.

The Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act of 1862 was not law, but a violation of law.



In addition to usurping power to establish social norms in our society, to decide whether patriarchal marriage or monogamy should be the basis of our social life, in passing the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act Congress assumed another power without consent of the governed; the power to selectively breed the American citizenry.





Can a government interfere with an individual’s choice of a spouse without assuming the power of selective breeding, a power that exists only in absolute despotism [fascism]?



Can you deny a black person the right to marry a white person without engaging the power of selective breeding? Can you deny a single woman the right to marry a married man without enforcing this same power? You cannot.



If you deny a woman the right to choose a certain man for a husband, you have asserted the power to deny her every choice you disapprove of, leaving her only your choice of a mate for her. Your power to deny her choice is the power of selective breeding, a power we rightfully exercise over cattle and dogs, but not over people.



The Declaration of Independence asserts this truth to be self-evident, “that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”



Have the governments of the United States or any of the fifty individual states been granted the power of selective breeding by their citizens?

The burden of proof rests upon civil government. Unless someone can show that this power has been given to government by the people, or can justify anti-bigamy under some specific power granted by their Constitution, every law prohibiting bigamy is unjust and illegal.





The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution reserves all powers not specifically granted Congress by the Constitution to the states or to the people, which is always the case in a territory, where no state government exists.



Thus the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Law of 1862 was and is unconstitutional under the Tenth Amendment, as Congress was not given power to interfere with intimate or family relationships among its citizens.



In addition, Congress assumed unconstitutional power by placing prohibition of patriarchal marriage as a condition of statehood for Utah and other states. All prohibitions of patriarchal marriage placed in state constitutions under federal duress are thus null and void.



-The U.S. federal government has no legal power, power granted by the people, to dictate or enforce social norms or traditions.

-The U.S. federal government has no power granted by the people to forbid any citizen the choice of a spouse, be it interracial, same-sex (sadly), or patriarchal.



-The Ninth Amendment-

“The enumeration, in the Constitution, of certain (specific) rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”





Will someone argue that the “other” rights, “retained by the people” and guaranteed by the Ninth Amendment do not include the right to choose one’s own spouse without government interference?





The Ninth Amendment has been applied to establish and defend the Freedom of Intimate Association, including the right to bear and beget children outside of civil marriage (Eisenstadt v. Baird, 1972). Can the Supreme Court consistently defend the right of a man and a woman to bear a child while denying them the right to establish themselves together with that child in a family unit? Can the court deny the child the right to a complete family with those two parents?



Suppose a man, married with children, becomes involved with a second woman and begets a child with her? He has committed no crime under the law and now has children with two women. Anti-bigamy law denies him the right to family relationships with both women, one woman’s right to a family relationship with the man she has chosen to father her child and the child’s right to a united family unit with both parents. Will someone argue that the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution guarantees none of these individuals the right to join together in one family unit?





Please note that anti-bigamy laws do not, cannot deny a man the right to engage in sexual relationships with more than one woman. They only succeed in denying all of these individuals the right to identify themselves as one family unit. An anti-bigamy law is not anti-adultery. Anti-bigamy is anti-family and UNCONSTITUTIONAL.



I submit that the right to unite with others in a plural family relationship is one of the “other rights” protected by the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution and that no government state can constitutionally deny it.



-Conclusion-

Civil government has no power to legislate or destroy the feelings that bind individuals in family units.
The family defines itself from within, by the choice of individuals who generate and maintain tender feelings for each other.
The family is a sovereign institution, existent before and independent of civil government.
Government is a creature of the family, responsible to it, not for it.
Governments are instituted to preserve rights (Declaration of Independence).
Governments are responsible to protect and preserve the family (Universal Declaration of Human Rights).
Government violates law when it usurps power not specifically granted by the people.
Government has no just power to establish and maintain social norms among the people.
Government has no just power to practice selective breeding among the people.
In prohibiting patriarchal marriage, government violates the law.
Patriarchal marriage is legal in the CONSTITUTION'S BILL OF RIGHTS.
Patriarchal marriage has always been legal ordained/allowed by heaven and played out in the earth.

Does the Law of the Land Make Patriarchy Illegal?



Let’s briefly look at the often quoted verses in Romans 13 that allegedly prove that believers, even if being led by YHWH into patriarchal marriage, must “obey the laws of the land.” This catch phrase is designed to try and make Scripture say something that it does not say. As you are about to discover, these verses say absolutely NOTHING about obeying the “laws of the land,” although they should be obeyed, whenever they do not break Yahuwah’s laws, or even His permissible allowances.



13:1-Let every Yisraelite be subject to civil governing powers. For there is no power but from YHWH: the civil powers that exist are ordained of YHWH.



The power, or civil authority is from YHWH. However not every law passed in the land is from YHWH. We must submit to the AUTHORITY and analyze each law that the authority passes to determine if it violates His Set-Apart Word, or not. When Adolf Hitler told Germans it was legal to kill Jews, should Bible believers have obeyed the authority? IT WAS THE LAW OF THE LAND! The obvious answer is no! However when the same German government told citizens to pay taxes, should they have obeyed the law of the land? Yes!



2 Whoever therefore resists the civil power; resists the ordained institution of YHWH: and they that resist shall receive mishpat-judgment on themselves.



As born again believers we are not to resist, or disrespect the civil governing authorities. We need to learn how to obey and submit to the authority without jumping off bridges, if and when they tell us to. If they tell us we cannot marry within the guidelines of Torah, we tell them to take a hike; however, in all other areas where they do not violate, or disallow what YHWH allows, we must obey the governing civil authority. As believers, we need to be able to discern the difference between obeying an “authority structure” ordained by YHWH to avoid anarchy and chaos, as opposed to robotically obeying every single decree that a human civil authority chooses to enact like killing babies and homosexual unions, if and when the specific decree violates YHWH’s Word and allowances, which it clearly does in man made anti plural marriage legislation, which ABORTS the SEED of ISRAEL.



3 For civil shophtim-judges are not a menace to tov mitzvoth-good deeds, but to cause men to fear doing evil. Will you then not be afraid of the authorities? Do that which is tov-good and you shall have tehilla-praise from the same authorities:



In general, the way to keep human authority off your back and out of your private matters is to fear doing evil against YHWH and do His commandments. DO and practice those things that YHWH calls good and you will not have to be afraid of civil authority. Why? Because YHWH will guard you from evil human authority, if and when human authority steps out of line with unjust laws. If you ALWAYS obey YHWH, not only will YHWH guard you, but He will make sure the civil authority will praise you in your devotion to the Creator, even if they refuse to recognize His very existence.



4 For he/it is the eved-servant of YHWH to you for tov-good. But if you do that which is evil, then be afraid; for he/it bears not the sword in vain: for he/it is the eved-servant of YHWH, an instrument to execute wrath upon the one that does evil.



The believer that does evil, or the one who violates Torah, will receive a correction from YHWH through human authority. He bears YHWH’s corrective governing sword to those who practice evil. Evil is defined by Torah alone and not by some nebulous concept called “the laws of the land.”



5 Therefore we must be subject, not only for fear of wrath [from YHWH], but also because of our conscience [based on His Word].



We must be subject to the AUTHORITY itself, not necessarily to every law they pass. Each law they pass must be analyzed in the light of Torah before we make a decision for consciousness sake, whether it can be obeyed, or whether it must be ignored, or even spoken against. This is what Paul is saying! Nowhere does he promote a general robotic submission to ALL the “laws of the land,” which by the way, he himself violated many times in proclaiming the Good News, which is how he wound up in jail! So we see Paul also had to violate some of the “laws of the land,” in order to obey, or follow YHWH’s will for his life.



If plural marriage is His calling for your life, no law of the land can stand in the way. The laws, or allowances of the HEAVENS, ALWAYS supersedes the so called “law of the land.”



6 For this cause pay taxes also: for they [human government] are YHWH’s instruments, attending continually upon this very thing.



A perfect example is taxes. Since Yahushua clearly commanded us to “render unto Cesar,” we must not resist the authority. But if the same authority tells us that we must hire homosexuals to work in our ministries’ and family businesses’, our consciences’ and our YHWH in His Word, does not allow us to obey the authority in that particular matter. In that case, we disobey a law, all the while still submitting ourselves to the general governing authority in all other matters, where conscious and His Word are not violated. If we follow YHWH’s ways all the time (doing tov), He will guard us from bad human authority, or provide a way of escape, so that we will not have the fear of abuse by human authority.



This then at long last is the correct and BALANCED view of civil authority and obeying the so called “laws of the land.” Let’s mature and grow up in Yahushua and learn to discern the difference between obeying the authority and power structure, while discerning each individual law and statute in the light of Scriptural allowances and prohibitions. This is the maturity and balance YHWH seeks for us on this delicate issue, as it applies to patriarchal marriage in western societies.



When done in the Light alone, plural marriage is one such time that we can obey the authority, while ignoring their barbaric and demonic callings to “mandated monogamy,” sterilization, abortion and birth control; demonic callings that stand opposed to the ways of Abraham and Jacob, that today results in a marriage failure rate of about 60-70% and aborted Israelite populations.



And if the truth be told, another 15% are perpetually unhappy, or unfulfilled, but remain together for convenience sake, financial reasons, or for the children’s sake. Surely patriarchal marriage, despite having its own unique troubles and challenges, does not approach those kinds of appalling numbers.



Addendum Two



Scientific Study on Mandated Monogamy by RAMYK

Cheating, lying, adultery and covenant breaking are all around us; mostly they are the bad fruits of man made church and government mandated monogamy statutes. Throw in a 60-70% “divorce on demand” rate and it’s obvious even to the casual observer that men and women have an inclination towards variety, or wandering in their sexual desires. Even many anti plural marriage female proponents claim that they reject plural marriage because it allows men more women, but does not allow them more husbands! That shows us the natural underlying need for variety.



Those who fight to remain monogamous, even in the happiest of marriages (and it is a real difficult lifelong struggle), admit to a life of struggle, work, tension, counseling and wrestling, in order to keep their marriages together. In this struggle, they inevitably feel something is wrong and that if monogamy was the only way to go and if YHWH blessed it alone, it shouldn’t have to feel like hell on earth for some, just to make it last.



Yet these couples have been told that they have no choice in the matter and that their desires for variety, which in all other areas of the human experience are considered the “spice of life,” are somehow evil, or lustful, when it comes to the sexual area.



It is most strange that when it comes to foods, music, art, cars, smells, sights and sounds, variety is considered a virtue and a sign of NATURAL living. Yet when it comes to honoring more than one covenant within a plural marriage arrangement, suddenly variety is forbidden, unclean, unnatural, fleshly and disgusting. Says who? What shameful inconsistency and hypocrisy!



Thanks to some fantastic research that came out in 2001, a top scientist and psychologist that have studied species of all types have found out that most species that YHWH created are not monogamous; and in fact mate often with different partners. Can this explain the underlying problem with mandated monogamy? Homo sapien beings, like all of YHWH’s creation, are created with a NATURAL uninhibited desire for more than one mate and lots of variety. Some may vehemently deny that; but 6,000 years of human behavior belies those self righteous, or self deluded claims. We need to come to grips with this and get real with ourselves, before YHWH can deposit new, or renewed truths in our hearts!

Now we can pursue more than one mate illegally like the world does in their arrogance and rebellion (Yah forbid), or we can once again submit ourselves to YHWH’s Torah and pursue this inbred need in a kosher and sanctified manner. As you read this research below, I want you to ponder the unthinkable.



That it is NOT NATURAL for some men and women to be stuck in a monogamous relationship, when the Creator YHWH placed within each of us the need and desire for variety. Of course we are speaking about a post Edenic fallen world; but the fact remains that is where we live.





That which western society has told us is natural; one man with one woman is according to the latest research of the animal kingdom and human behavior, absolutely incorrect. The two kingdoms (human and animal) are very similar in their created need for variety. This finally explains why the variety of sex practiced within the born again community mimics that practiced in the world and in the animal kingdom.



It’s not that born again believers do not fear YHWH! Indeed most do! But could it be that like other human beings that choose lifetime monogamy, they must contend, suppress and defeat the natural Yah given urge to have more than one mate? How many born again men and women have at some point in the past fantasized about making love to someone other than their lawful spouse? 98%?, 99%?, 100%? Please don’t lie and claim that this has never happened to you! Lying is a sin!





I believe the truth will set you free. I believe now is the time for all of us, or most of us, especially those not celibate, to admit the truth. If we could get away with it, we would opt for multiple sex partners, giving us multiple sexual pleasures from a variety of angles. Every pun intended.

A NEW PROPHETIC WARNING TO RETURNING YISRAEL!

A NEW PROPHETIC WARNING TO RETURNING YISRAEL!

By Rabbi Moshe Koniuchowsky



Would Moses, Noah, Yahushua and Abba YHWH Be Asked to Leave Your Congregation or Hebraic Roots Movement?





Is Your Church Background Still Tripping You in a Full Return to Your Hebraic roots?

Editorial by The RAMYK

Delivered by the authorization of the Burden of YHWH





Moon 8 Day 3 5992 SC



This will be a short prophetic word. The Scriptures need no defense and are clear. I will not list hundreds of verses, as that's been done in the excellent works I list below and also because as a true Torah disciple it's your job to study things out!



There is and most likely will continue to be a major problem with most Messianic synagogues/groups and churches at the end of this age, as there has been for the last 1,700 years. Things will not change much until Yahushua returns and fixes this world's anti-Moshiach world order (See Isaiah chapter 4). Religion and religious traditions die hard and cannot be repaired in most cases. Yahushua could have but chose not to fix religious systems, or secular systems that worked hand in glove with the religious orders of His day to place men in spiritual and even physical bondage. These unholy tandems have motivated and in many cases forced mankind, men and women to sin sexually. Many of you reading this now are sinning sexually, because you have knowingly, or unknowingly bought in to a world order of Greco-Romanism taught by your leaders, or websites online that Yahushua, the prophets of Israel and Moses himself knew nothing about. Yahushua and the prophets HATE divorce and the serial monogamy behaviors that Israelite men desire, which moves them to divorce the wives of their youth, despite YHWH's Word. Religion has twisted the Words of Malachi 2:14-16, teaching that YHWH hates polygamy, seen INCORRECTLY by religion as adultery, but tolerates and even encourages divorce. If polygamy is adultery, then we can throw our Bibles in the trash anon, as YHWH, Yahushua and Moses the author of Torah itself all would be adulterers. How many would attend a congregation where the minister is thrice divorced, but not if he has three kosher COVENANT lifetime marriages and is faithful to them all? Most of you, which is why you need a wake-up call in Yahushua's love and a RETURN to TORAH, not to Torah teachers that miss the mark and are blind guides to the sheep of Yisrael! Do you understand the difference?



Since religion and their systems will be overthrown (not fixed) at Yahushua's coming and His earthly Torah based kingdom, we need to come out of those systems that entice, cause and yes even sanction mankind to sin. The ROMAN-TIC system subscribed to by most of the Messianic and church world is a plain abomination to YHWH. There are many excellent books written about marriage and biblical marriage law. There is no sense in reinventing the wheel in this brief prophetic warning. One of the best books based solely on Scripture is Resurrecting the Biblical Family-Men and Women in Biblical Law by Tom Shipley. See http://www.newcovenantpatriarchy.com





Shipley documents over 40 documented leaders and key men in Israel who practiced biblical patriarchy with YHWH's blessings and without a single word about missing His perfect will or a single word of rebuke.




I suggest attaining a downloadable copy immediately to study the issues from a legal biblical perspective. Yet that is not the point of this warning.



The Torah is clear on biblical marriage. There are no words in Hebrew for monogamy or polygamy just marriage. That should tell us something right there. Moses the author of Torah had 2 wives; this cannot be clearer, even though many twist his words and try to make it seem as if Tzipporah was the Ethiopian woman. Tzipporah was the first at the time of the Exodus and some 11-12 years later the Ethiopian woman appears, and because she was black and a "second wife" they rose up against him, including the leaders and his very own kinsmen. The irony is that while most Messianic and Hebrew roots congregations love and study the Torah, the very author of the Torah would be granted the right foot of fellowship and not allowed to enter most of their places. Add to that list men like Noah (2 wives Sefer Yahshar), Benjamin (many wives Sefer Yahshar), Jacob, Gideon, Abraham, Japheth some of the 12 apostles (see my book) and many others. They would be removed, or prohibited from entering these monogamy only church camps based on their kosher biblical choice of a plural lifestyle. Now ask yourself this poignant question! Do I attend a place of worship that claims to embrace all of Torah and the Neviim, all the while removing the author of Torah, along with the Judges and Neviim of Torah from membership were they physically alive today?



Do you attend or support such a place? Would your pastor, or rabbi welcome all kinds of biblical kosher families, or would he single out people like Noah and Moses and mark them to be ostracized? If Moshe and David and Abraham and many other heroes of the faith would be asked to leave due to their scripturally kosher lifestyle, is that a place where you and your family want to be and want to be supporting? Maybe you should ask your leader the hypothetical question and wait to see their response. Make sure they are not granting you lip service by saying plural families are welcome. They can say that, but when one actually shows up, most succumb to the peer pressure of other members and elders. Rare is the leader that can, or is willing to stand up to these religious lynchings. Those who do will pay a great price in the loss of reputation, the false witnesses that will arise against them and their popularity and yet they are worthy of your love, prayers, compassion and support.



Again the purpose of this short editorial is not to make the case for Scripture. The case is made as any lawyer would by Tom Shipley and also in my 450 page book Sex and the Believer

http://store.yourarmstoisrael.org/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1212147193&ADMIN=YES



that has turned these hypocritical congregations and their arrogant anti marriage members upside down. Why would anyone want to attend a group that claims to be Torah observant, or Torah based when the fact is that they would throw Moses, Tzipporah and the Ethiopian woman to the curb together?



And what about Yahushua Himself, a polygamist with two sister wives? Oh you claim to believe and support the TWO HOUSE TRUTH, but deny the TWO SISTER WIVES that Yahushua loves and died to make ECHAD-one family? No friend. You are no true two house believer! Don't be offended be willing to be challenged! You cannot condone the persecution and abuse heaped towards this kosher lifestyle and claim your ministry is to make the 2 sister wives one in Yahushua. Go and learn what this means...I desire mercy and not sacrifice, or messianic trappings for that matter. Hebraic culture is a lifestyle not merely a Jewish arts and crafts experience. Ezekiel 23 and many other Scriptures are CRYSTAL clear. The 2 houses are 2 rebellious sister wives, the daughters' of one mother! Yahushua has come to cry out for both and re-marry-re-covenant (Jeremiah 31:31) both wives in His own righteousness family.



Since we know that Yahushua is the express image of YHWH, then YHWH the Father also is A-The Patriarch, as it is He that has sent Yahushua to gather the 2 wayward wives-sticks that He was-is married to. Ephesians 5:22-23 speaks of a mystery between the Bridegroom and His wife, made up of many members, all married to Him simultaneously, not in serial monogamous marriage and divorce fashion, followed by another marriage and divorce. The original model as most assert was not monogamy. If the premise is wrong, the conclusion of a matter will be too. The original model in the Garden of Eden was NOT MONOGAMY OR POLYGAMY. Read that AGAIN!!! It was in fact PATRIARCHY, meaning the woman was made for and as a helpmeet subordinate to the man, under his love and care! If that bothers you, you have discovered the root of the problem with the modern marriage paradigm that most have bought into. Adam's alleged monogamy (we don't know that for sure, as many Jewish sources speak of another wife) was due to circumstance (only one woman around) not to some kind of mandated kosher model, or original pattern. YHWH's original intent was neither monogamy, nor plural marriage. It was pure subordinate patriarchy, where the husband heads the wife/wives, even as Messiah heads the brides of Judah and Efrayim in their own restoration. Again if this statement makes you cringe, you're either a woman who does not understand biblical marriage and family, or a man who has been brainwashed by the apparent evils of modernity and the subtle sound waves of the 'woman's liberation from Yahushua' movement. Both monogamy and polygamy fall under the ORIGINAL PATRIARCHAL MODEL, both being kosher, yet flawed and soiled by mankind. Adam's surroundings and circumstances decided things for him. Are we ever going to get this right, or will we rather continue to argue with YHWH's Word, in the end opposing ourselves and our nation's 2 house restoration? Both monogamy and plural marriage can be His perfect will for you! You must seek it for yourself, not vicariously through a westernized religious leader closed, or blind to the full picture of biblical marriage.



To say that YHWH allowed plural marriage, which is allegedly evil and adulterous, because of men's hearts, is to accuse YHWH of sanctioning, blessing and tolerating evil by allowing evil to procreate and spread in a holy nation, when Scripture clearly states that Abba YHWH is of PURER EYES THAN TO EVEN BEHOLD INIQUITY, LET ALONE TOLERATE IT UNDER SOME SUPPOSED OUTDATED DISPENSATION. Sadly Messianics by and large have adopted this church pabulum without asking any real hard questions, like they do with the false doctrine of all food and pig is now clean in Jesus-Hey-soos Christ. No friends; it has been your religion of choice that has prevented you from coming into social networking and alignment with YHWH. One cannot claim to be Yisrael and a Hebraic roots seeker, all the while dismissing the lifestyle that brought blessing and favor upon our own forefathers. These are the same heroes of the faith listed in Hebrews 11 and yet all of them like Noah and Jeptah and Gideon and Moses himself, along with the living Elohim would be thrust out of most Hebraic congregations. When the author of Israelite life is not welcome, then the place becomes a temple of the dead not the living Elohim.



Now is the time to stand for ALL truth; YHWH is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, even more than the pressure to be aligned to a ROMANTIC system, that denies the Living Unchangeable Elohim of the Bible, and who in the clearest possible terms through men like Hosea, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Torah itself, portrays Yahushua Himself as a polygamist Patriarch. The theme carries over unchanged into the Brit Chadasha-New Covenant, as seen in MANY places such as Matthew chapter 25 and the 10 virgin parable all married to Messiah, as well as places such as First Corinthians 5:1, one where a son sleeps with his father's wife, not his own mother. The fact that the early Mormons stole and perverted something YHWH blesses is not the issue, but it is our problem, if we as a nation do not reclaim the lifestyle as our fathers' were the ones to whom the lifestyle was initially given to be the blessed seed rather than Esau the cursed seed. The devil has injected Islam with polygamy, so he can take an alternate route to crush the seed (collective) of the woman.......Yahushua and His bride/s (Judah and Efrayim-Joseph).



The Book of Revelation is all about the risen Yahushua instructing (Torah) His various brides in Asia Minor. It is high time grow up and shut out the voices and then yes, even the very congregations that would not have any remorse to shamefully and smugly throw out most of the heroes of our faith. If you are a leader, or pastor, or rabbi I hope you are allowing the Set Apart Spirit to convict you. Or if you know of such a closed minded leader, please forward this to them in hope and love of the kadosh harvest!



And if the truth be told, if Yahushua-YHWH and Moses would not be welcome in these serial monogamist camps with a 60%-80% divorce rate, then neither should you and yours sanction such places by your alignment with them. It is up to the leaders who are rogue, like Miryam, in her opposition to plural marriage, to get into alignment with the Torah and the New Covenant and not for men and women to get into alignment with religion, personal feelings-preferences, or with the big brother secular state by the conduit of their emotions.

On another note- As you know our ministry is one of the few that has not ignored, or hidden our heads in the sand about biblical marriages approved by Yahuwah in monogamy and plural marriage, as lived by our patriarchs before there was a Mormon religion. We have been pressured, abandoned and crucified throughout the religious world to do so, but we cannot deny YHWH's Words; for He alone has the right to set opinions for us to adopt apart from our human emotions of control, jealousy and wormwood (IF we are HIS disciples).
Only a few days ago I turned on the tellie, (TV) and watched Nightline on ABC as I was about to retire. I was shocked. I saw something I never thought I would ever see in my lifetime. I saw an interview and preview with a real polygamist family with 4 wives and lots of children. In this family, I saw everything I wrote about in my book Sex and the Believer apart from Shabbat challah and candles. A praying, faithful, responsible, caring and fully functional family, who lived out their biblical calling and conviction without any signs, or allegations of control, compound enclosures, abuse, or child bride taking (illegal as it should be). As you know, over the last 50 years or so, since the advent of modern media, the ONLY time you see a plural family on TV on CNN, MSNBC or some other venue, is when some abuse, or allegations of abuse, make it a nice tasty media matter, like in the current Bishop Eddie Long allegations. Expect to see that drag out for months.
But never did I think I would see the day when a reality show would take place and a plural family, fully and totally loving, caring and functional like any American family, would take the bold risk to open their American homes to a reality show, to invite the public into their private lives. They said they were doing this not for money, but to show truth seekers that most of the garbage you see in the media about plural marriages are only the 'scum of the earth' stories, designed to make you and I hate something YHWH calls holy and the holiness of the ROOT of the Israelite Olive Tree; for if the fathers of Israel are loved and kadosh, so is the entire tree. If polygamy is dirty and perverted, as most of you (me too) have been taught, then the root of the Olive Tree is sinful, making us the branches all sinful! IF and when done right according to Scripture all marriage is kadosh-holy!
We here at YATI Int'l Ministries promote NEITHER monogamy, or plural patriarchal marriage. We simply have taught on biblical sex. What is and what is not kosher! Your brain has already been washed by filth and perversion, with rampant sex and 1 night stands outside of marriage being the norm, by a world that says 1 wife + 5 mistresses=a healthy love life, but a man with 5 covenant "till death do us part "wives according to Torah should be jailed, or labeled-maligned as a pervert . Such is the doctrine that the religious and secular worlds have putted and driven 400 yards into the fairway of your brain. And unless you begin to HUNGER after righteousness, you will remain in a "state-religion" induced anti-Messiah cocktail of perverted views about what YHWH blesses and or curses in human sexuality. Most preachers know about these things I have taught; and in private away from their wives, they will agree with me, but they fear to teach such due to the $ loss and reputation repercussions.
The truth of the matter is we have no horse in this race. We simply promote the entire Word of Yahushua the same yesterday, today and forever, as uncomfortable and as challenging as that may be for some. I rather have man oppose me, than my King oppose me, for simply telling the truth in hope and love.
Frankly, if I did not study the Scriptures for myself over the years and my only view of patriarchal marriage was the crap and lies they show on TV without ceasing about the 2-3% of families that live in some form of abuse, I would be the first in line to oppose it. But how can you and I get our views from the media that mocks us and YHWH and how can we form an opinion apart from the Words of YHWH, as His child and His ambassador? As a child of YHWH, we have been bought with a price and are only allowed one opinion. HIS!
