GOD Is A Divorcee!
Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deuteronomy 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
Deuteronomy 24:3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
Deuteronomy 24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
Read that and make sure that you know that the LAW says that if you divorce your wife that you CANNOT remarry her or be with her again! You CAN'T take her back once she is with another man! That is THE LAW!
Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Now, look at this! It is where GOD divorced Israel:
Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
So, you see, GOD divorced Israel!
According to the Law, GOD divorced Israel and that is because Israel (and Judah) played the harlot by worshiping other gods and forming their own religions. Israel cheated on GOD! Therefore, since GOD divorced Israel and Israel was with another, GOD can't remarry Israel!
...Unless GOD dies.
When JESUS, which is GOD in the flesh (Immanuel, which is JESUS’ name means GOD WITH US!) died, Israel was free to remarry. So, now GOD can take her to wife because HE died and rose from the dead and lives again.
So, Israel can now be The Bride Of CHRIST!
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead ; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Note:
When GOD compares marriage with CHRIST and the Church, HE is showing us how HE feels by relating it to something that produces great emotion in us. GOD has similar emotions as we, but GOD is Supernatural. Supernatural means more natural, therefore it goes without saying that GOD has more intense emotions than we do. So, when GOD compares HIS Love for us to marriage and family, we can see how HE feels when we go astray.
Also, when GOD is speaking of idolatry (idol worship), it is similar to the feeling that we would get in our families if our spouse committed adultery. Idolatry is the spiritual equivalent of physical adultery. Anything we put between us and GOD is idol worship. All idol worship is a type of satan worship. The worst idol worship of all is when GOD'S children fall away to satan at the end time when satan is cast out of Heaven to earth as antichrist. That is why the woman in Revelation is called the great white whore. It’s GOD’S children formed into the one world system worshiping satan as their leader.
It is my opinion that since GOD divorced Israel, and also that the Church is The Bride Of CHRIST, that it may not necessarily be that GOD only compares HIS relationship to us with marriage and family, but that the very marriage and family love and relationships we all know so well are actually patterned after what we were, and will be familiar with again in Heaven.
Divorce is not a good thing, and many suffer as a result of it. It’s not just the husband and wife that suffer, especially if children are involved. Since JESUS died for our sins, if you divorced, when you repent and ask for forgiveness in JESUS NAME, your sin is washed away. It is as if you never divorced at all. But know true repentance. You can’t con GOD.
Divorce is NOT the unforgivable sin!

From Chaplain Bob Walker:
Hosea Chapter 1:
8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said [God], Call his name Loammi: for ye [are] not my people, and I will not be your [God].
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezreel.
Romans Chapter 9:
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? [Gentiles = divorced Israel]
25 As he saith also in [Hosea Greek rendering] Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Same language Hosea & Romans.

Thank you, Chaplain.
