I can’t say that I’m a blog kind of guy, even though I enjoy writing from time to time, on my own behalf. This is an interesting way to give a little more context into what brought my wife and I into the understanding of this family structure (biblical polygyny).
What a weird thing to ever consider, I thought, coming from a traditional background that ostracizes those who didn’t adhere to the one wife for life normalcy bias.  But, for years this tug in my heart has persistently grown. Not being the kind of man that bends easily to the will of others, or impulsive, and understanding that I’m also not perfect in any way… I had doubts about moving in this direction. I’m a man who places my relationship with Jesus first, and if this was the direction He wants me to lead our family, I’m more than willing to devote myself to it.
While reading scripture and pondering the biblical applications of a moral relationship with several women within one household… I found this family structure to be fitting, but only to those who understand the responsibilities and devotion they require of a man. I asked the Lord, “If there is one thing in scripture contrary to this marital structure of wives, I will not continue this path but maintain the life-long commitment to my wife and our children, only.” Needless to say, I haven’t… My family knows that I’m an honorable man, and once I chose this path, my wife, children, mother and father are just as eager to see where this leads our family as I am.
What I’ve taken from my studies is, men are given three options when it comes to companionship with the opposite sex. One, celibacy… never taking a wife and maintain only the relationship he has with God. Two, monogamy… an unbreakable bond before God to one woman, after Christ. Three, polygyny… the unbreakable bond before God to several women, after Christ. Each choice is measured by the abilities and gifts of the man to endure, provide and the ability to maintain his relationship with God. Simply put, a humbled man in right standing with God understands his weakness or his strength in carrying the burden of wives, and choses his path to walk. And burden, isn’t to say that a woman is a burden, a Godly woman is as close as a man can get to the nature of God Himself on earth, but she is a responsibility of the husband to hold her and his family up and comfort them in a brutal world… to lay his life down as Christ did for the Church. Outside of Christ… this family structure will always succumb to the world.

...and single mothers with children, especially young ones...

Hopefully by now you can see what's coming.  Myself and others have been warning about it for a long time now, and we're there.

You have probably already seen empty shelves.  It will get worse - much worse.  And if you thought the riots were bad before, wait until this country sees genuine widespread hunger for the first time in its history.  The major cities will be a nightmare.

Which is why I am thankful many here are able to see the benefit of a larger loving family.  ESPECIALLY in a more rural area - and the further from major populations, the better.

I also encourage people to understand the fragility of the power grid (as an electronic engineer, this has been on my mind for well over a decade now).  It's why we are 100% off-grid here, in every way (solar, primarily).

Be thinking now about what is coming, and what you are able to accomplish.  By the time most people wake up to what has already happened, it will be too late.

It was a study of marriage that was primary to my coming to see that, not only may a man take more than one wife, but we "have inherited lies" in a number of areas, as the prophet Jeremiah said we would one day come to understand.  And as the Messiah, Yahushua (or Yeshua, but His mother never once called him 'jesus' -- and neither did anyone else on planet earth for about 16 centuries) put it - what we have "heard it says," is too often really not at ALL what He actually Wrote.

And the way we can discern the 'truth from the lies' about what the Bible really says is CONSISTENCY.  If we see what looks like a contradiction, it's either our misunderstanding, or even the translator's, but not His.  Often those 'apparent contradictions', BTW (as in the case of marriage) are where we can find the greatest insight into distinctions we might otherwise miss.

Much of the 'twisting', however, is deliberate.  Too many men in positions of power (even if not real Authority) believe they know better than the Author of Scripture what He SHOULD have written, if He was as smart as they think they are.    That's the history of much of the 'sunday church' -- that outlawed and changed much of what He Wrote.  Prohibition of polygyny about 800 years after they killed Him was followed by 'priestly celibacy' less than a century later, for obvious reasons, that have now reaped a nasty fruit.

And all of that, by the way, is why the whole world is such a Steenkin' Mess today - it's not just society having utterly twisted the concept of marriage, but everything from diet to what is "money" (and what is not - which is why we have the biggest debt bubble and coming collapse of the 'global reserve currency' in human history.)  Yeah, ultimately they call evil, 'good,' and good, 'evil'.   They're proud of it, too.

Some, hopefully even many, here, may understand that they have been "called to polygyny by God," which might well be true.  If so, then He will also call you to study and understand the rest of what He Wrote for us as well.  The tremendous beauty of that is, once you see how the "pieces fit together" -  they will ALL fit together!  Every "yod and tittle", from Bereshiet or "In the Beginning" of the Book to Maps at the end...

For anyone who's gotten this far - I do a number of radio shows every week, both live and podcasted later.  One is a daily news summary and commentary, from a Scriptural perspective; the are Torah/Bible teachings, and my longest-running show, called "Come out of her, My people". 

Many here might find a teaching I did recently from the Book of Exodus particularly interesting, even challenging, but it will certainly make this whole topic more clear:
