Who established the home?

God established the home. The context identifies Him as the one who set up the home, placing father and mother with the first five commandments. The home is part and parcel of God's whole plan for the ages, demonstrating its divine origin and enduring purpose.

Les teaches that God is the one who set up the home. He explains that when we realize God is the supreme God, the one who will not give in to competition from idols, and the one who created everything, we understand that He is the one who established the home. That is why the father and mother are placed with the first five commandments. Les emphasizes that the home is very part and parcel of God's whole plan for the ages. He also notes that this will be seen in the marriage relationship in Ephesians.

Exodus 20:12

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
