A BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF THE GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE. From the First Adam to the 2nd Adam (Jesus Christ), to Our End-Time Generation, and to Eternity.

MARRIAGE has become a Great Mystery since the First Sin of the First Man (Adam) inside the Garden of Eden. The First Sin was caused by a Marriage Problem between Adam and Eve. This Marriage Problem between a Husband and Wife led to the Spiritual Marriage Problem between God and Man (Hosea 6:7). Thus, Marriage became the root-cause and root-solution to all problems of Man and the whole Universe. This is how important and mysterious Marriage is (Ephesians 5:31-32).

The BRIDE OF CHRIST, MINISTRY OF LIFE

The 2nd Adam => Jesus Christ came to this Earth as a human being to redeem His Spiritual Wife or BRIDE. It is now the turn of the BRIDE to do Her part in restoring the Marriage Covenant, which is the New Covenant.

A BRIEF HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF THE GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE, FROM THE BEGINNING TO NO- END!

1. God revealed the Original Marriage Covenant to the First Adam in the Garden of Eden. But, Adam became unfaithful to this Covenant (Hosea 6:7). 

• But THEY, LIKE ADAM, HAVE BROKEN THE COVENANT. They were UNFAITHFUL TO ME, there. (Hos 6:7 HNV)

This original Marriage Covenant became a Great Mystery after the Sin and death of the First Adam (Ephesians 5:31-32). 

2. God then revealed the Great Mystery of God's Marriage Covenant to Noah. After the death of Noah the Marriage Message was lost again. 

3. God then revealed the Mystery of Marriage to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). After the death of Israel, his children, the Israelites, lost again God's Marriage Covenant, and they became slaves in Egypt. 

4. God then called Moses to restore the lost Marriage Covenant to Israel during the time of the Old Testament. He restored God's Marriage Covenant to Israel with the Ten Commandments of the Marriage Covenant with its statutes and judgments (Malachi 4:4). But, the worship of the Golden Calf caused the Israelites to be disqualified recipients of the Covenant. After the death of Moses and Joshua, the Israelites totally lost God's Marriage Covenant. The Power of God Covenant was lost again. 

5. Then Jesus Christ came in the flesh, and He fulfilled and magnified the Law. Christ then introduced the Kabbalistic Gospel and started to build His Church with the Original Marriage Covenant (now called the New Marriage Covenant). 

6. After the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ => The Messiah, Christ then revealed more Messianic Kabbalah Knowledge and Wisdom of the True Gospel to His select Apostles and disciples.

7. Then, the Messiah called the Apostle Paul and gave to him an ABUNDANCE of God's Covenant and Messianic Kabbalah revelations. Christ then ordained the Messianic-Kabbalist Apostle Paul to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. Paul was appointed to preach the Gospel's Messianic Kabbalah revelations to the Gentiles. 

This Kabbalistic TRUE GOSPEL means the Good News that the Original Marriage Covenant previously open only to the Jews, is now open already to the Gentiles. This means that the full revelation of the GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE, with the supernal MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM, is also to be fully understood by the Gentiles. 

The opportunity to be a part of Christ's Bride is now open to everybody, Jews and Gentiles alike. 

8. But, the early Messianic Jews and Christian Gentiles also failed to get the message of the supernal Marriage relationship. At the end of the Ephesus era, the Church lost the Love and Knowledge of Christ's Messianic Kabbalah Gospel (Revelation 2:1, 4-5). As a result, "another gospel" from the enemy was introduced and preached (2Cor 11:4, Galatians 1:6-7). 

9. In the End-Time, God called Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA) and used him to raise God's Church in the Philadelphia era of the Churches. God tried to reveal to HWA the New Marriage Covenant; but unfortunately, HWA was only able to get the message partially.

By then, HWA was so engrossed in the so-called preaching of the "Gospel" message to all Nations. But, the Truth is that this "GOSPEL" that HWA preached to the world is NOT the True Gospel! This is because HWA did not know the TRUE GOSPEL, which is God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom; and any Gospel preaching that is devoid of Messianic Kabbalah is a False Gospel preaching! 

To repeat, the TRUE GOSPEL is the Gospel of the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom of the Kingdom of God! For proofs of this, please go to, or click: WHAT IS THE TRUE GOSPEL? THE TRUE GOSPEL IS THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL, WHICH IS THE EVERLASTING HEAVENLY MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM! Here Are Some of the Proofs!

10. After HWA's death, the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) he founded, also did not get the full message (of the New Marriage Covenant). As the WCG entered the Laodicean era, hundreds of daughter churches (splinter groups) emerged from the Mother WCG. And yet, all of them still did not get the message of the New Marriage Covenant! 

11. God then gave His Counsel of MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM to LOPE COLUMNA => The God-Chosen "Man From The Far East" (Isaiah 46:11). 

In preparation for this great calling, Mr. Columna was initiated and tested in the Great Mystery of Marriage; and he overcame and was found to be qualified to receive the Supernal Revelations about God's New Marriage Covenant with His Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom (Psalms 25:14). 

God's Counsel of Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is directly connected to the GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE, which is actually the NEW MARRIAGE COVENANT of God to Israel.

Today, only LOPE COLUMNA is preaching the TRUE GOSPEL of God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM, fulfilling Matthew 24:14, and Revelation 14:6. This True Gospel preaching is the prophesied preparation for the glorious return of the KING MESSIAH => Christ Jesus!

12. After the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14 and Revelation 14:6, the King Messiah (Christ Jesus) returns to this Earth with Great Power and Glory! Then, He will marry His purified BRIDE. Making the MARRIAGE COVENANT fully consummated, the BRIDEGROOM (Christ) and His BRIDE (TheBRIDE), will solve all problems and crises of Man and the Earth, and rule the whole Earth for 1,000 years (the 7th millennium). 

13. After this 7th millennium rule, the Perfect Husband-and-Wife will participate in the creation of the New Heavens and a New Earth with God The Father (Isaiah 65:17, 66:22, 2Peter 3:13). Thus, all the problems of Mankind, the Angels, and the whole Universe will be converted to PERFECTION.

14. Then, as the God Family go onward to ETERNITY, 1Corinthian 2:9 will be fulfilled to its totality!

But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard," nor has it entered into the heart of man, "the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."  (1Cor 2:9 MKJV)

GOD TRIED TO REVEAL THE GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE AND MESSIANIC KABBALAH TO HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG (HWA) AND THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (WCG); BUT THEY DID NOT GET IT, Except For One Church Member Who Noticed and Got It!

If only Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA) and the WCG Ministers have been sensitive enough to perceive the "revelatory feelers" of God to reveal to them the GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE (GMOM) leading to the supernal Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, then, the original WCG would not have been destroyed; and the supernal True GOSPEL OF MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM (GMKW) would have been revealed to them!

NOTE: These series of articles about God's revelations of His Kingdom's Great Mysteries use some segments of the real-life story of Mr. Lope Columna as Case Studies to explain or show how these supernal Great Mysteries of the Kingdom of God were revealed to Mankind in the End-Time Generation. God's manipulation and direction of Mr. Columna's life and events are in preparation for the great job and responsibility God will assign to Mr. Columna as he is chosen and called by God to fulfill the role of being the end-time "Ravenous Bird, the Man from the Far East to execute My Counsel..." (Isaiah 46:11).  The supernal Mysteries of God's Kingdom revealed to Mr. Columna started with the revelation of the Great Mystery of Marriage (GMOM), leading next to the revelation of the True Gospel of Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom (GMKW), then to the revelation of the Mystery of God the Father's WILL (MGFW). These 3 Great Mysteries of the Kingdom of God are listed in the following:

1. The GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE (Ephesians 5:31-32).
2. The MYSTERY OF THE TRUE GOSPEL OF MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM (1Timothy 3:16, Colossians 1:26-27, Ephesians 6:19, Romans 16:25).
3. The MYSTERY OF GOD THE FATHER'S WILL (Ephesians 1:9).

When combined, these three (3) Great Mysteries of the Bible, or of the Kingdom of Heaven, is called the COUNSEL OF GOD (Isaiah 46:11), which is the TRUE RELIGION OF JESUS CHRIST. For the step-by-step revelation of the Great Mystery of Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel, which is God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, please go to: HOW THE GREAT MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE WAS REVEALED! The Initiation to the Great Mystery of Marriage. 

For an in-depth revelation about the True Religion, please go to: FINALLY, GOD REVEALED THE TRUE RELIGION FROM THE TREE OF LIFE! This True Religion is The Supernal MESSIANIC JUDAISM, which is the Religion of Jesus Christ. Great Blessings Are Promised to those Who Learn these Great Mysteries! 

Why did Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA), the Worldwide Church of God (WCG), and their Splinter Groups, fail to receive God's revelations about the Great Mystery of Marriage (Eph 5:31-32), and the Mystery of the Gospel (Ephesians 6:19, Rom 16:25)? 

It is not because God did not try to reveal to them these Great Mysteries. It was because they did not do something about the worsening number 1 problem in the Church, which is the painful and worsening Marriage and Family Problems in the Churches! Why? Because the Church Ministry thinks that they already knew Marriage; they just blamed the husbands as the one at fault! By this attitude, they did not recognize God's "revelatory feelers." 

• For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not (Job 33:14).

The discovery and restoration of God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM via the GREAT MYSTERY  OF MARRIAGE was nurtured in my first-hand painful experience, or initiation, in the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) and the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG). My stay in these 2 Churches as a baptized member spanned 24 years. These 2 Churches, as well as, the many other Churches in the world, are all failures when it comes to God's Marriage and Family Institution! This is the reason why the abominable Same-sex Marriages and Reproductive Health (RH) Laws are now approved by many Churches in the World!

At first, the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) was humble and teachable enough to received the initial and basic revelations of marriage. For example, the truth that MARRIAGE IS A GOD-PLANE RELATIONSHIP was revealed by God to Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA) and was received by the Worldwide Church of God (WCG). This wonderful revelation that marriage is a God-plane relationship should inspire every Church member and minister to give more weight, study and contemplation to this heavenly subject. But they did not. 

DON'T JUST TASTE GOD'S REVELATIONS; CONTINUE TO EAT, CHEW, AND DIGEST THEM!

God's revelations are just like delicious and nutritious food set on the table for us. If we just taste it and disregard it, we will not benefit from its healthful and healing value. And God will lose interest in giving us additional spiritual food. We must continue to eat, digest, and be thankful for God's supernal revelations! Then God will continue to reveal Himself to us, and we continue to increase and grow in the grace and knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ (2Pe 3:18)! But sadly, the WCG just tasted God's revelations on marriage, stopped, then she went her own way! 

Marriage troubles continue to increase in scope and magnitude! From head to foot, the Church was seriously stricken by the malady of the marriage troubles! From HWA to the lay members the WCG had been shaken tremendously to its very foundation! The Church is about to fall down in shambles! 

GOD IS A WITNESS BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THEIR NEGLECT OF MARRIAGE PROBLEMS! 

HWA himself and his top HQ ministers had been shattered by marriage failures and divorce! If we don't really get the main message in the mystery of marriage, Satan will always be there to destroy us through our marriages! HWA's marriage relationship with Ramona also ended in divorce! And the crying husbands and wives seek for help and answers from the ministry for the pains and sorrows they were sufferings (Malachi 2:13-14).  

• This is another thing you do: you cover the LORD's altar with tears, with weeping and groaning, because He no longer respects your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.  (Mal 2:13)

• Yet you ask, "For what reason?" Because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have acted treacherously against her, though she was your marriage partner and your wife by covenant.  (Mal 2:14)

The Church should have been seriously alarmed by this! This should have warrant her to self-examination, in-depth bible study on marriage, prayer to God, and fasting for this particular serious problem. But she did not!

ONLY ONE CHURCH MEMBER FROM WCG AND PCG RALLIED BEHIND THE PRESERVATION OF GOD'S MARRIAGE INSTITUTION!

When the WCG institution was attacked by Satan through the State of California, the Church ministry and membership rallied in support of HWA and the preservation of the Church. Yet, when it comes to the most known, most destructive, and continuing attack of Satan on the divine institution of marriage, the WCG Ministry and membership did not rally behind to support and preserve it, except for one Church member!

God then choose and send that one faithful person to fight and rally behind this eternal life-and-death truth of Marriage and Family! This fight is a David-and-Goliath type wherein all Israel, including the King and his army, were frozen in fear to fight and eliminate the pagan Goliath, except for David and his strong faith and reverence in the powerful NAME OF GOD! 

The world's concepts and traditions of marriage is the proud Goliath that Satan used, and is using to attack and destroy God's Divine Marriage Institution! Like David, there is one person that sensed the insult that this pagan Goliath is doing to the Glorious Creator of the Universe! God is also calling other faithful persons to rally behind, support and back up this momentous battle for the truth about this great mystery of marriage!
