What conditions prevailed in Ur at the time of Abraham?

Abraham was born and raised in Ur of the Chaldees, a city in southern Mesopotamia, a commercial and cultural center at that time. Civilization had begun to grow, reaching a relatively high degree of progress.
Abraham
The time coincides with the first Babylonian Empire and a very prominent figure: Hammurabi, which left a very advanced code of laws for the time, which ruled for a long time all over the Middle East. Moreover, one of the most relevant characteristics of those times was idolatry, which had developed impetuously from the rebellion of the post-flood in the tower of Babel.

Ur, specifically, was a center of worship of gods and Ningal WITHOUT moles or Nanna, as the city of Haran, where Abraham was to stop. The cult Ningal (the Babylonian Ishtar, the Egyptian Isis, the Astatrté or Canaanite Astarte, Diana of the Ephesians and the former Aphrodite or Venus of the Greeks and Romans) deified sex, had a regular practice of "sacred prostitution ", which stated that, at least once in life every woman should Mesopotamian prostitute in honor of the Deity. Ningal Temples, Sin, Ishtar and other priests had similar deities and priestesses practicing responsible sexual practices of different kinds, including homosexuality.

Amid this time and in the midst of that city, born Abraham, one of the few in his time retained the primitive belief of monotheism was a faithful to God despite the negative conditions around him.

Through this phrase can be understood, first, the purpose for which God instituted marriage, and second, the type of relationship established between the two sexes in the field of marriage.

The second objective, subject to the first, would meet the requirements of the mandate God: "Be fruitful and multiply ..." (1:28).
As for the male-female relationships, we can say what the commentator Henry Halley writes, "the woman was not formed from the head of man, not have dominion over it, or their feet to not be trampled, but from his side to be equal to him, and near his heart to be loved by him "

Notes that the type of relationship established between man and woman within marriage is unique and exclusive, it rejects the interference of any foreign element in the area of \u200b\u200bthese relationships.


4. What foreshadows the union of man and woman?


foreshadows the union between Christ and the Church (Eph. 5:25-22, Rev.. 19:7, 21:2, 9). Halley writes: "The Church is the bride of Christ. The wife of Adam, Eve, was made from his side while he slept. This may be a primitive painting of the Church, the Bride of Christ, while he" slept "on the cross (John 19:34, John 5:6-8).
