In doing so, He associates Himself with the most respected human being in each person's life - their father. I am the God your father had a relationship with. I am the God who established your father as the leader and ruler over your household. And since your father submitted himself to me, you should also submit yourself to me. I am the one who has directed your father's paths, and I will continue to direct YOUR paths.
Authority starts over when marriage begins.
The first reference to father in the book of Genesis was an instruction for the husband in a newly married couple to leave his father and cleave unto his wife. As soon as a man is married, he embarks upon a journey of newly defined responsibilities. Whereas he was formerly under the constant supervision of his father, the young married man was moved immediately into a position corresponding to the one his father previously occupied. Eventually, the young man would find his shoulders carrying the same loads of authority he had seen his father bear. Some may not be able to relate well to the true father spirit.
