Phil Spector famous music producer was the most insanely jealous crazy person. He kept his wife Ronnie locked in their mansion for months. If she left the house she would have to have a mannequin in the car seat next to her so men would think she was with someone… he even had a glass coffin in the lower level of his house where he would threaten to put her in if she ever tried to leave…. Long story short, she escaped and later Phil was convicted of ordering another women… tell me your surprised!
This jealousy is spelled out and more easily understood from the perspective of a husband the husbands exclusive right to his wife’s sexual faithfulness, was recognized by the mosaic law.
Proverbs 6:33 Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding;
He who does so destroys his own soul.
33 Wounds and dishonor he will get,
And his reproach will not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy is a husband’s fury;
Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will [l]accept no recompense,
Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.
VENGENCE HB Naw-Kawm - absolute vengeance
**a husband will be avenged and take vengeance upon the man who committed adultery with her. It will be out of a godly jealousy! This is an exclusive example that we understand in this situation, but it’s to a much higher degree with God and his people.
God’s jealousy follows from a couple truths about God which are well-established in the Bible:
- 1.Idolatry is adultery.
- 2.God is good.
- 3.God knows best
1. Idolatry is adultery…. You are married to Jesus.
Most references to God’s jealousy come in the context of the covenant which ancient Israel had made with God which they were breaking by following other gods.
Have you ever met a man who gave his wife everything. He sacrificed, He served, He petitioned for her, He loved on her, He forgave her, He went the 3rd, 4th and 50th mile… when everyone wondered why He would give so much to a wife so less deserving… and only to watch that wife have an affair, walk out on the marriage….
**The man steps back and in hurt says… Im what was best for you!
I know your sins, your foibles, your insecurities, your pain, your wounds, your secrets… and I would have loved you forever in spite of them.
Gods what is best for you - that is why he is Jealous!
