How to use this page
- Verify in context: click a verse set, read the surrounding chapter, then return.
- Follow the logic chain: creation baseline → covenant/witness → treachery/adultery → discipline/reaping → Kingdom order.
- Use it as a “court brief” map: claims should be anchored to text, not assumptions.
A) Creation baseline: covenant union and “one flesh”
B) Bond language: “bound while living” / death as clean release
C) Headship and the body: ordered unity under one Head
D) Unity vs division: the gathering cannot stand divided
E) Torah court: witnesses, inquiry, false witness
F) Treachery & covenant betrayal
G) Adultery / sexual immorality: named and judged
H) Discipline, reaping, consequence now
I) Babylon: intoxication, definitions, “come out of her”
J) Kingdom sequence: reign on earth, then final judgment, then new creation
K) Children, inheritance, continuity
L) Isaiah 4:1 snapshot (ratio / restoration imagery)
M) Vows, binding words, and headship authority (Numbers 30)
This series treats covenant and spoken commitments as court-relevant realities, not private feelings. Numbers 30 is a key supporting text: a woman’s vow stands unless the lawful head (father/husband) nullifies it when he hears it. Scripture treats words as weighty and binding.
N) Greek word study: μοιχοί vs μοιχαλίς / μοιχαλίδες
Quick verification links for the Greek terms discussed in this series. The New Testament’s “Kingdom inheritance” warnings often list “adulterers” using the masculine plural μοιχοί, while “adulteress” language appears with μοιχαλίς / μοιχαλίδες in prophetic/covenantal registers describing spiritual unfaithfulness.
N) Headship accountability: God addresses heads first
O) Household judgment precedents
P) Ark / refuge pattern in restoration conditions
Q) Jezebel pattern: women judged sharply when leading lawlessness
R) “Much is required”: increased accountability with authority
S) Restoration invitation language: “return” and covenant re-establishment
T) Hebrew terms appendix (starter set)
A small starter glossary of Hebrew covenant terms and immorality terms used throughout Scripture. These tooltips are designed to expand over time.
- בְּרִית: covenant framing language.
- נֶדֶר: vow language (Numbers 30).
- נָאַף: adultery category.
- זָנָה: harlotry/fornication & prophetic unfaithfulness.
- בַּעַל: authority/household order vocabulary.
U) Isaiah 3–4 context chain: judgment → name/covering → cleansing → canopy
V) Hosea 1–3: enacted parable of covenant betrayal and ordered restoration
W) Romans 7 baseline corroboration: bond, death, and adultery language
X) 1 Corinthians 7: separation command (remain unmarried or reconcile)
Y) Protection + truth + discipline: safeguards against oppression and false witness
S) Implicit court in separation: covenant boundaries & accountability
Used primarily in Chapter 0B. These passages trace (1) the Kingdom’s judicial establishment, (2) Jesus’ standard against “any-cause” divorce, (3) witness/inquiry requirements, (4) warnings against sexual trespass, and (5) sealing/discipline language (covenant permanence with real judgment).
1) Kingdom established by God’s judgment
2) Divorce/remarriage: Jesus calls “any-cause” logic adultery
3) Inquiry and truth: witnesses and false witness judged
4) Protections + warnings: harshness condemned, trespass destroys
5) The “will” and the seal: vows bind; covenant is real; discipline is real
6) Kingdom sorting snapshots
T) The Replacement Man: inquiry, reconciliation bias, and discipline against serial monogamy
Passages used primarily in Chapter 05 (and related “implicit court” logic): the incoming man bears responsibility to test claims with witnesses, seek reconciliation where possible, and refuse to normalize covenant swapping as “love.”
