Will we be married in Heaven?

Will we be married in Heaven? That’s a tough question. And many people don’t really like the easy answer. That easy answer, of course is, no we won’t be married in Heaven. And that’s because Jesus said, The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage …

But is that too easy? Actually, yes, it’s way too easy. Partly because the quote is taken completely out of context. And also because it completely ignores the cultural differences between Biblical times and many parts of the world today. Further, it completely disregards the reason marriage and divorce were even instituted in the first place.

Joseph – “The sun, moon and eleven stars bowed down to me”

Ge 37:9 Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
Cool. Maybe. Depends on what it means. Why would the sun, the moon, and eleven stars bow down to someone – even if it was possible?
Maybe it would be good to put some context around this. It’s from Genesis – chapter 37. It was said by Joseph – you know – the kid with the coat of many colors. Why are we looking at this? Because of a question that came up in a class – about what the sun and moon represent. Were they about Joseph’s father and mother? Or did they represent something else entirely? And, if it’s not about Joseph’s parents, then doesn’t that even put the eleven stars into doubt – were they really about his brothers? Let’s find out.
