In marriage, it is the husband who is
to be responsible for himself and for many others under him in his household and
family. The honor of the family or household depends on the work of the husband
to keep his account with Adonai in balance.
Responsibility contains an element of exchange or payment. There is
a value system placed on the role of responsibility. There is great honor in
being given a responsibility, but there are great requirements as well
After seven days the word of
Adonai came to me:"Son of man being, I have appointed you to be a watchman for
the house of Isra'el. When you hear a word from my mouth, you are to warn them
for me. If I say to a wicked person, 'You will certainly die'; and you fail
to warn him, to speak and warn the wicked person to leave his wicked way and
save his life; then that wicked person will die guilty; and I will hold you
responsible for his death. On the other hand, if you warn the wicked person,
and he doesn't turn from his wickedness or his wicked way, then he will still
die guilty; but you will have saved your own life. Similarly, when a righteous
person turns away from his righteousness and commits wickedness, I will place a
stumbling block before him — he will die; because you failed to warn him, he
will die in his sin; his righteous acts which he did will not be remembered; and
I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the righteous
person that a righteous person should not sin, and he doesn't sin; then he will
certainly live, because he took the warning; and you too will have saved your
life."
Ezekiel 3:16-21
"Son of man, speak to your
people; say to them, 'Suppose I bring the sword on a country, and the people of
that country take one of their men and appoint him their watchman. Now if, upon
seeing the sword coming against that country, he blows the shofar and warns the
people; then, if the sword comes and takes away someone who heard the sound
of the shofar but paid no attention to it, the responsibility for that person's
death will be his own —he heard the shofar but paid no attention, so the
responsibility for his death is his own; whereas if he had paid attention, he
would have saved his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does
not blow the shofar, so that the people are not warned; and then the sword comes
and takes any one of them, that one is indeed taken away in his guilt, but I
will hold the watchman responsible for his death.' "Likewise you, son of man — I
have appointed you as watchman for the house of Isra'el. Therefore, when you
hear the word from my mouth, warn them for me. When I tell the wicked
person, 'Wicked person, you will certainly die'; and you fail to speak and warn
the wicked person to leave his way; then that wicked person will die guilty; and
I will hold you responsible for his death. On the other hand, if you warn the
wicked to turn from his way, and he doesn't turn from his way; then he will
still die guilty, but you will have saved your own life. "Therefore, you, human
being, say to the house of Isra'el: 'You say, "Our crimes and sins are weighing
us down, we're pining away because of them, how can we even stay alive?" ' Say
to them, 'As I live,' swears Adonai Elohim, 'I take no pleasure in having the
wicked person die, but in having the wicked person turn from his way and live.
So repent! Turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, house of
Isra'el?'
Ezekiel 33:2-11

As our betrothed in Heaven, our Lord
is the protection and the covering of every human who seeks Him. It is Adonai
who has appointed the husband as the one responsible for the covering of the
marriage and the household.
Responsibility requires complete and perfect obedience to the Lord in order for
the effect of complete protection to be accomplished
For He will give His angels
charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.

For the Tanakh says, 'He will

In marriage, both the husband and the wife must recognize their roles as
servants of the Most High King before either of them can properly fulfill their
spousal role.
In God, the male servant is afforded great honors and privileges and rights
which are not inherently his, but flow down to him from the position of the
Master whom he serves. The Lord repeatedly elevates a humble obedient servant to
higher positions than they could ever achieve on their own. Thus, while still
in the role of servant, they are elevated above the others to which they had
once been a servant themselves.
When Israel saw the great
power which the LORD had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD,
and they believed in the LORD and in His servant Moses.
Exodus 14:31
With him I speak mouth to
mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the
LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant,
against Moses?"
Numbers 12:8
Then Joshua the son of
Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
Judges 2:8
Joab fell on his face to the
ground, prostrated himself and blessed the king; then Joab said, "Today your
servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, O my lord, the king, in
that the king has performed the request of his servant."
2 Samuel 14:22

"Jew
& Gentile One in Messiah"
"the biblical truth lives here"
No
Talmud (rabbinic teachings) and No Christian doctrine. Straight biblical
teachings.
"The
Route 66 Highway"...Genesis to Revelation the only perfect word of God!
Always remember Yeshua the Messiah is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever.
He was never a Catholic,
Baptist, Evangelical, Pentecostal or any of the other 1,500 denominations of
Christianity
He
is, and always will be a Jew. And all the Talmidim (Disciples) were
Messianic Jews
