The ancient, yet no less holy, divine name, Jealous, and language to speak of GOD are the focus, today. Given that jealousy is a carnal attitude and destructive behavior associated with adultery, exaggerated passion, infidelity, and insanity, many are disturbed and embarrassed, rather than admonished and enlightened, when they find that Jealous is a holy name of GOD that also is to be shown full respect and reverence. GOD proclaims total majesty and sovereignty above all Creation. However, there are many shared names and roles for the Father and the Son (e.g., Redeemer, Savior) that further affirm their oneness and unity within the fullness of divinity (we say, the GODhead). Believers are to understand divine love and hate as revealed in righteous judgment; thus, GOD approves constancy, faithfulness and life companionship through marriage, and condemns divorce using strong terms. Consider again the following from the Bible, and the discussion appearing below: Isaiah 42: 8-9, King James Version (KJV): 8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give unto another, neither my praise to graven images. 9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare. Isaiah 48: 9-12, KJV: 9 For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. 10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? And I will not give my glory unto another. 12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he: I am the first, I also am the last. Also, Malachi 2: 14-16, KJV: 14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

Why does God hate other gods if they don't exist?
And who is he jealous of in calling himself a jealous God?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. (Nahum 1: 2-10, KJV)

“El Nerdo Loco”, because GOD is a spirit who is made up only of divine substance and spirit matter, the words we use to describe Deity do not have the same meaning as when we are speaking of others like ourselves. Thus, words that describe human emotion, feelings, and events among mortal beings (e.g., anger, death, fear, jealousy, love) must be understood as aspects of the divine nature, and sacred operations that effect eternal purposes. Included are inseparable spirit content and occurrences such as faith, holiness, incarnation, longsuffering, miracles, salvation, wisdom, and wrath against sin.
How divinity is to be known and spoken of (we say, the name of GOD) appears throughout the holy writings in the form of accounts, anecdotes, parables, public records, and eyewitness testimonies. While some names for GOD acknowledge his exalted sovereignty GOD over all that exists (e.g., him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters) others describe divinity as operating through promise and covenant with mankind (e.g., the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). Personal names for divinity (some say, appellations) do appear that are used in direct communication and exchange such as praise, prayer and worship. El Shaddai (God Almighty), Jealous, and Jehovah are three of the most well known from Scripture.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. For example, GOD is correctly described as “jealous” only where created beings and living creatures exist in intimate relationship with divinity (e.g., apostles, covenant partners, priests, prophets, sons and daughters), and are more than just abstract and material objects. As person within the full GODhead, the Father, requires commitment, devotion, and worship that are exclusive. Through the operations of sin—that oppose the continued existence of divine law, the Law Giver, and all divine order maintained through sacred law—consciousness and self-will in finite beings becomes corrupted and defiled. The result is always defiance, idol worship, rebellion, and spiritual confusion. I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.

(09/11/2015) Divine Jealousy?
Today, Scripture points are shared on divine commitment, dedication, sacred ownership, and the jealousy practiced by GOD. At no time does our Creator display insanity and out of control behavior such as we see among men and women making selfish claims upon one another. The fighter at “Yahoo!

What is the difference between the Christian Gods jealousy, and a crazy ex girlfriends?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire; But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband! They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary. Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them; Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness. And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. (Ezekiel 16: 30-38, KJV)

“oscar youre a grouch”, upon the earth, and among couples in intimate relationship, jealousy appears as an extreme reaction wherein one partner displays anger, insecurity, possessiveness, suspicion and violent behavior against their mate, or toward another person for having been overly familiar with another. Even conduct that may be casual and surface as well as affection shown their family members may trigger jealous behavior. While many claim romantic jealousy is a proof of deep and undying love, in fact, it is the expression of emotional imbalance, immaturity, and uncontrollable rage. Surprisingly, then, Jealous is one of the holiest names revealed from divinity to mankind describing the Deity as one who demands exclusive service and worship from those put forth as created beings and living creatures. This is usually recognized more quickly when stated in other words, such as, Thou shalt have no other gods before me! Consider the following from the Bible:
(1.) Proverbs 6: 26-35, King James Version (KJV): 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. 33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
(2.) Song of Solomon 8: 5-7, KJV: 5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee. 6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
(3.) Deuteronomy 32: 15-23, KJV: 15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. 21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
(4.) Isaiah 54: 4-9, KJV: 4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. 6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. 7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. 9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
There are many other points that should be carefully considered, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example: (5.) Matthew 4: 1-10, KJV: 1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
