Father seeks unions of partnerships – not the opposite. Genesis 2:22-24 “Then the LORD God made the rib He had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man. And the man said: This one, at last, is bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called woman, for she was taken from man. This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.”
Adam said “this one, at last,” because he had been longing for a mate; this being true even though he had Father. Why so? Why wasn’t Father enough? Why was a mate needed? The same reason mating partnerships exist in the animal kingdom. Genesis 1:21, 22 “So God created the large sea-creatures and every living creature that moves and swarms in the water, according to their kinds. He also created every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that is was good. So God blessed them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” Even the animals, fish, birds, insects, etc. Father paired, because this was all part of Father’s plan; but why was Adam not fulfilled, by Father alone?
Genesis 2:15 “The LORD God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and watch over it.” Here, we see that Father placed Adam in the Garden; it was to be his home; and Father also provided him with work, and the assignment to watch over the garden as well as perform work in it. But was Adam totally happy? In light of Adam’s statement “This one, at last,” meant that he was longing for something he was missing.
Father recognized this need early on when She spoke to the Word and said, Genesis 2:18 Then the LORD God said, “ It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is like him.” Father alone was not enough for Adam; Father knew it was not good for him to remain without being paired. Just as the animal, fish, birds and insects were paired, Father knew Adam must not remain longing for a mate. How do we know this is true? Because Adam had been looking for a mate. Genesis 2:19-20 “So the LORD God formed out of the ground each wild animal and each bird of the sky, and brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for the man no helper was found who was like him.” From this you can see that Adam was searching for a mate. In addition, it gives foundation as to why many of the angels elect have been permitted to name their own angelic names; it reveals Father’s latitude in giving us personal preference.
