Genesis 1:26-28; Psalm 139:16; Acts 17:26:
Gen 1:26-28: 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
God gave this command to two people, one man & one woman – Adam & Eve. As of today, January 30, 2024, God’s Sovereign Holy command to Adam & Eve is being immutably fulfilled as evidenced by fact that the world population today is 8,088,023,219.
Marriage, as conceived & ordained by God in heaven before time began as the Fathers promised love gift to His Holy Son (Titus 1:1-2; Ephs 1:3-6), is the Godly model after which God created human marriage to be a lifelong union between one man & one woman, 1) as the pinnacle of all His “very good” creation (Gen 1:31; I Tim 4:4-5), 2) to be greatly enjoyed, & to be the foundational human relationship for all of human society for all of human history (Genesis1:26 – Revelation 20: 15), 3) to be the singular vehicle with which He would create each of His elect children, placing them on the stage of human history exactly when & where He Sovereignly predestined & foreordained each one to be (Ps 139:16; Acts 17:26), & 4) to be, via the mans love of his wife, a lifelong daily cultivation & joyfully obedient exercising of a rational, unselfish, serving covenant love for his wife (Ephs. 5:25: 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,; I Ptr 3:7: 7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered; Phil 2:3-4: 3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.), which would be a picture of the eternal, indestructible, immutable love of Christ for His holy bride, the church – I Cor 13:4-8a: 4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails).
Psalm 139:16(all): 16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
Acts 17:26(24-28): 26 and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,.
