CONCLUDING THE OLD TESTAMENT, Chapter 15 of Polygamy in the Bible

 Pages 159 to 161

The great, all-wise and righteous father of the human race is a stable law-giver. He is not so capricious as to give specific laws to part of mankind and another set of laws to someone else. Nor with the changing of time does he allow these laws to change.

If polygamy were wrong or displeasing to God, He never would have tolerated it at all. If it were a sin, He would have said so in the beginning of time, and not waited 4,000 years to make up His mind. Furthermore, if it were a sin, He would have made very definite laws against it and He would have clearly described the punishments that should be inflicted upon those who lived it. He would have included the law against polygamy with the other commandments, so that people could read them, study them, and teach them as His law. But, there is no such law against it in the Old Testament.

PROPHETS, PRIESTS AND KINGS, Chapter 14 of Polygamy in the Bible 

Pages 143 to 158

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. (Isa. 8:20)

It cannot be denied that polygamy was a common practice throughout the pages of the Old Testament. It is equally evident that it was a deliberate, open, and wilful practice of the most holy and righteous men on the earth–and lived without the least reproof or condemnation from God. Neither was there any trace of sorrow, remorse, or repentance by these men. The Bible records that their wives and children were the recipients of God’s greatest blessings and promises.

SOLOMON, Chapter 13 of Polygamy in the Bible

Pages 128 to 142

. . . his name shall be Solomon, and will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. He shall build an home for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever. (I Chron. 22:9-10)

When David died, he left an inheritance consisting of the most powerful kingdom in existence at that time. This was to be a patriarchal succession that seldom occurred in Israel the way that it should have. David’s son, Solomon, inherited the throne of that kingdom.

THE PRE-EXISTENT ROLE OF WOMEN, Chapter 9 of Kingdom of God Volume 1

 

Pages 91 to 96

 

To be a priestess queen upon thy Heavenly Father’s throne, and a glory to thy husband and offspring, to bear the souls of men, to people other worlds (as thou didst bear their tabernacles in mortality) while eternity goeth and eternity cometh; and if thou wilt receive it, lady, this is eternal life. (John Taylor, “Origin and Destiny of Women,” as quoted in Marriage Covenant, Kraut, p. 25)

Continuing along the lines of the previous chapter on representation, women are often considered as representatives of many wonderful attributes: love, kindness, emotion, caring, mercy, creation, life, endurance, and jewels in a man’s crown. The scriptures speak of the Zion of the Lord and the New Jerusalem as being like the bride of Christ. (See Rev. 18:23, 21:2.)

The role and duties of women in the pre-mortal world is much different from that of the men. It is quite similar to wars on earth when men to go battle and the women usually remain at home. Very few women get involved with war in mortality, and they didn’t over there either.

THE THRONE OF KING DAVID, Chapter 12 of Polygamy in the Bible 

 Pages 122 to 127

. . . but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace forever from the Lord. (I Kings 2:33)

The kingdom of David did not die with him. That throne over Israel was established with a promise of an everlasting succession of kings. God said many times that He would honor King David and his posterity for as long as time is counted. One promise was–

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established forever before thee: thy throne shall be established forever. (II Sam. 7:16)

BATHSHEBA, THE BEAUTIFUL, Chapter 11 of Polygamy in the Bible

 Pages 115 to 121

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. (Proverbs 7:24-26)

It was springtime and Israel was at war with the Ammonites. David should have been out on the battlefield, but he made the mistake of staying home. One day David was taking a little stroll, and “from the roof he saw a woman washing herself, and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.” (II Sam. 11:2) Not satisfied with just looking, he invited her up to his apartment. The woman’s name was Bathsheba, and she accepted the invitation. It was a Hollywood romance–love at first sight; and it didn’t stop until after it reached the bedchamber. In that fateful moment, David made a tragic mistake in his spotless character, an event that troubled him the rest of his life.

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I commend thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee…. (I Kings 11:38)

THE LIFE OF MOSES, Chapter 8 of Polygamy in the Bible 

Pages 64 to 75

This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. (Acts 7:35)

The name of Moses appears in the Bible nearly 800 times! He stands out as the most popular man of God in the pre-Christian era. The miracles, writings and history of this man are second only to Christ. In fact, his life was considered to be a “type” to represent the promised Messiah who was to come.
