What does it mean 1Corinthians 11:2-16?

Introduction

There are many discussions about this subject. Most of the people think that the concerning of Paul was with the length of hair or with the use of veil. Nonetheless, the preoccupation of Paul, here, is deeper than this and, when we figure out this, we can get precious instructions about marriage.

 

It is a pity that the religion system keeps people imprisoned in so picayune things. Let’s understand the real meaning of this passage.

What does it mean to be head?

·       1Co 11:3 -> “But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.”.

 

What did Paul mean with this?

 

Head means “fountain”. So:

 

·       God is the fountain of Christ;

·       Christ is the fountain of man;

·       Man is the fountain of woman.

 

In other words, Christ received everything from the Father in order to convey it to the Church; the man receives everything from Christ and ought to pass on to his wife; the woman receives Jesus’ grace from her husband (1Pet 3:7) and, in answer, she put her life to assist her husband in his mission before the Creator.

The spiritual process of covering and uncovering the head?

Let’s understand this better:

 

·       1Co 11:3 -> “But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.”.

 

The Creator is the fountain of Christ. While He was here in Earth, He confirmed this:

 

·       Joh 5:30 -> “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.”.

·       Joh 7:28 -> “So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know.”.

·       Joh 8:42 -> “Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.”.

·       Joh 12:49 -> “For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.”.

·       Joh 14:10 -> “Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.”. 

 

Nonetheless, so that He could be blessed with all the revelation and unction of the Creator, He needed to empty Himself.

 

·       Php 2:5-8 -> “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”.

 

And how did Jesus empty Himself?

 

Delivering Himself for His Church (in particular, for the men). He glorifies the Creator serving the Church, that is to say, anointing her, purifying her (Titus 3:4-6), giving gifts and talents to her, etc.:

 

·       Eph 5:25-27 -> “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.”.

 

The more Jesus blesses His Church, the more He empties Himself and become able to receive from the Father.

 

With the man it happens at the same way:

 

·       1Co 11:4 -> “Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,”.

 

When a man prays to the Creator, something marvelous happens (of course, if he is right before Him):

 

·       2Co 3:18 -> “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”.

 

His head is covered with Jesus’ glory and His gifts and revelations for him (and his home). This recollects what took place with Moses:

 

·       Exo 34:29 -> “When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.”.

 

So, after the meeting with the Creator, the man is full of the Holy Spirit (His head became covered by His glory). Unfortunately, many husbands, after this, go to minister to the Church what they received from the Creator, how great is his excitement.

 

This is one of the causes of the fallen of many ministers of Jesus. They go to minister with their head covered with Jesus’ glory, full of Jesus’ revelation, but *for their personal life*.

 

It is necessary a special revelation directed to the Church. Nevertheless, with his head covered, he can’t receive more of the Holy Spirit (his personal experience is useless to the Church).

 

How can him receive a prophecy of Jesus through his wife if she is hampered of pray to Jesus and receive His revelation?

 

·       1Co 11:5 -> “but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven.”.

 

And without the support of his wife, the ministration of the husband becomes deficient, a tragedy.

 

Consider: how can the wife pray for her husband if her head isn’t covered for what Jesus desires to do through him? So, the husband needs to cover the head of his wife:

 

·       1Co 11:6 -> “For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.”.

 

How? Conveying to her all the revelation that the Creator gave him. Doing so, he is discovering his head (opening himself to his wife) and covering the head of his wife with the revelation and unction of the Holy Spirit. Now she can pray in the right direction and receive the fit answer (prophecy).

 

In the end, every man who prays or prophesies with his head (Jesus Christ) covered dishonors his head (Him) (1Cor 11:4). The life of the man needs to be thoroughly transparent. He can’t have anything to hide, especially in his home:

 

·       2Co 4:2 -> “But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.”.

 

The husband needs to uncover for his wife outright. The wife needs to know EVERYTHING of her husband and stay covered with it. After all:

 

·       1Co 11:5 -> “but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven.”.

The problem with the hair cut or shaved

But, what is the problem with shaven head? What did Paul intend with this illustration?

 

·       Deu 21:10-12 -> ““When you go out to war against your enemies, and the LORD your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails.”.

 

See that only the women who were taken captive shaved their head as an expression of lamentation for being obliged to marry a man who hadn’t anything to do with her.

 

There is, also, example in the Holy Scripture of the Creator punishing the women with baldness in virtue of them trying to entice the men as harlots:

 

·       Isa 3:24 -> “Instead of perfume there will be rottenness; and instead of a belt, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a skirt of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.””.

 

The Creator also used the figure of shaving with a razor all the hair of all Israelites in virtue of their sins (especially idolatry):

 

·       Isa 7:20 -> “In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired beyond the River—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also.”.

 

This was so because there was a custom of making bald the head for lamenting the dead:

 

·       Jeremiah 16.6 -> “Both great and small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them or cut himself or make himself bald for them.”.

 

And the Creator condemned it:

 

·       Lev 21:5 -> “They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.”.

·       Deuteronomy 14.1 -> “You are the sons of the LORD your God. You shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead.”.

 

Unfortunately, the Israelites was very distant of the Creator and His commandments:

 

·       Amos 8.10 -> “I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day.”.

·       Micah 1:16 -> “Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair, for the children of your delight; make yourselves as bald as the eagle, for they shall go from you into exile.”.

 

So, when a woman prays or prophesies without having her head took by everything that the Creator desires to do in the life of her husband, she is evincing that she doesn’t have any respect or consideration for her husband, as if:

·       she had been obliged to marry her husband as a slave;

·       she was a whore or idolater and, for this, under the punishment of the Creator;

·       she was a false servant of the Creator regretting for a dead.

 

·       1Cor 11:6 -> “For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.”. 

 

The woman needs to cover her husband in her heart:

 

·       1Pe 3:3,4 -> “Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.”.

 

Unfortunately, the translation in English is deficient in this case. The best translation would be “the hidden man IN the heart”. The woman needs to receive everything that her husband has to offer to her and make of this a cover for herself.

 

That is to say, when everyone looks to her, they need to see her husband. Her interest needs to be the interest of the husband. After all, the Creator poured His grace on the husband, and his wife is heiress of this grace (1Peter 3:7).

 

If she didn’t wish to do this, it is better to cut her hair short. At least, in this case, people will see her as a stranger to the Creator and His Church, being together with her husband only for obligation (after all, a short hair was as it was shaved it recently). In other words, it is as Jesus said:

 

·       Mat 12:33,34 -> “Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”.

How the word veil was used?

The veil, at first place, was a symbol of concealing something. See these examples.

 

1 - Here unveil is a good thing. It is being used to take away the cover which the world uses to hide its true face.

 

·       Isa 25:7 -> “And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations.”.

 

2 – Until now the veil is put in the heart of the most of Israelites who clings to the law of Moses, hiding Jesus and His gospel from them:

 

·       2Co 3:14-16 -> “But their minds were blinded; for to the present hour the same veil has not been removed, but remains at the reading of the Old Covenant; which veil is removed in Christ. For to this day, when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their hearts. But when their hearts turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”.

 

Not to mention the veil that separated the Holy Place of the Most Holy Place in order to hide this one from the priests and, thus, preventing them of dying.

What was the problem with not using the veil?

Let’s see the use of the veil:

 

1 - When a husband thought that his wife was betraying him, he took his wife before the priests and, there, her head was uncovered:

 

·       Num 5:18 -> “And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and uncover the woman's head, and put the memorial oblation in her hands, which is the jealousy offering; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter water that bringeth the curse.”.

 

2 – When someone was leper, they should uncover their head:

 

·       Lev 13:45 -> “And as for the leper on whom the plague is, his clothes shall be torn, and his head shall be bare, and he shall put a covering on his upper lip, and shall cry, 'Unclean! Unclean!'”.

 

So, when a woman didn’t use veil, the impression is that she was deceiving her husband. Hence the custom of the women used veil.

 

Many women, however, used it to charm men:

 

·       Eze 13:18-21 -> “and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the women who sew magic bands upon all wrists, and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature, in the hunt for souls! Will you hunt down souls belonging to my people and keep your own souls alive? You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, putting to death souls who should not die and keeping alive souls who should not live, by your lying to my people, who listen to lies. “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your magic bands with which you hunt the souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms, and I will let the souls whom you hunt go free, the souls like birds. Your veils also I will tear off and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand as prey, and you shall know that I am the LORD.”.

The man is what? And the woman?

·       1Co 11:7 -> “For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.”.

 

When the Holy Scripture says that the man is image and glory of the Creator, what does it mean?

 

Image -> The man is like a mirror which reflect the Creator. If the man has a life who delights Him, he will be like a clean mirror. The Creator will be present in his life and, thereby, the man will manifest to everyone around him who the Creator really is.

 

What does it mean glory?

 

To understand this, let’s see two excerpts:

 

·       Exo 33:18-23 -> “And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for man shall not see me and live. and Jehovah said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock: and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand until I have passed by: and I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back; but my face shall not be seen”.

 

When Moses ask to see the glory of the Creator, He answered saying that nobody could see His face. Therefore, glory means face. Besides, Paul said that we could see the glory of the Creator in the face of Jesus Christ.

 

·       2Co 4:6 -> “Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”.

 

Thus, as image, the man shows the appearance of the glory of the Creator. Remember that the image of a mirror can’t show the internal characteristic of a person (for instance, their sound, voice, ideas, ken, wisdom, although we can have a glimpse of their feelings and thoughts through their facial expressions).

 

So, as the glory of the Creator can be known in Jesus’ face, so the man needs, through his face, manifest what his image can’t: sound, voice, ideas, ken, wisdom, feelings and thoughts of Jesus more accurately. And it is for this that he needs to always discover his head, that is to say, manifest to everybody, everything that the Creator put in his heart.

 

However, the woman is the glory of the man. That is to say, it is the woman who manifest to the world the true identity of the man. And this is the reason for what she needs to cover her head, that is to say, keep everything that his husband is to herself (covering him in her heart). After all, for better that is the man, his glory is temporary:

 

·       Isa 40:6,8 -> “The voice of one saying, Cry; and I said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass: the grass withers, and the flower fades: but the word of our God abides for ever.”.

 

So, the woman needs to proceed like it is said below:

 

·       2Co 3:12,13  -> “Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end.”.

 

In other words, the woman receives what her husband conveys to her, covers it, prays to the Creator based on this and prophesies in his life husband what the Creator ministered to her.

 

Doing this, the woman will close all the breaches in the life of her husband (Eze 22:30) and the Creator will be able to manifest Himself to all the world through his husband, without any distortion.

What did Paul mean when he said: “because of the angels”?

·       1Co 11:10 -> “That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.”.

 

Angel means “harbinger”.

 

The wife needs to have in her head something that confirms that her husband is authority on her life. In other words, the idea is that, when all people around her (especially the heralds of the Creator) look at her, can see her husband. After all, the best way so that people can have for confirmed that she belongs to her husband (Song 2:8; 6:3; 7:10) is having her thoughts and feelings focused on what Jesus desires to do in and through her husband by means of her.

 

If the woman doesn’t confirm the authority of her husband, can it happens exactly what took place in the time of Esther:

 

·       Est 1:16-18 -> “Then Memucan said in the presence of the king and the officials, “Not only against the king has Queen Vashti done wrong, but also against all the officials and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus. For the queen's behavior will be made known to all women, causing them to look at their husbands with contempt, since they will say, ‘King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, and she did not come.’ This very day the noble women of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's behavior will say the same to all the king's officials, and there will be contempt and wrath in plenty.”.

 

Not to mention that this can be occasion for men trying to lure this woman. Nevetheless, if they see her husband in her, they won’t be attracted.

 

But, there are another thing to be observed: the angels are always watching the Creator working through His people (chiefly, His Church):

 

·       Eph 3:10 -> “so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.”.

·       1Pe 1:12 -> “It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.”.

 

So, considering that the Creator uses the Church to teach His angels about Him, it is fundamental that husband and wife don’t adulter Jesus’ plans for their home (in special, about what Paul taught below):

 

·       Eph 5:24-27 -> “ Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.”.

The chief verse and the target of this passage:

·       1Co 11:11 -> “Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;”.

 

In all discussion of this excerpt, what is most important is that husband figure out that he need to be together all the time with his wife and she ought to submit herself to it.

 

After all, once the woman was made from the man and specially created for him (1Cor 11:8,9; Gen 2:18,23), therefore, it is necessary that the husband take his wife with him wherever he goes:

 

·       1Co 11:8 -> “For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.”. 

·       1Co 11:9 -> “Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.”.

 

And not only for this.

 

·       1Co 11:12 -> “for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.”.

 

Once the children are born of woman, if the husband wishes that the promises of Psalms 127 and 128 can be fulfill in his home, he need to convey to his wife everything that Jesus is, do, and gives Him.

 

So, the woman needs to partake of all moments of the life of her husband (even of those moments which seems to be inconsequential).

After all, should the woman use veil? Is the size of the hair important?

·       1Co 11:16 -> “If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God.”.

 

Paul said that, neither them (he and the other apostles) nor the Jesus’ Church had such practice. Why not?

 

·       1Co 11:13 -> “Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered?”.

 

As it was shown in 1Cor 11:11, in Christ, husband and wife depend on one another. In the Old Testament, a man could have many wives. So, only the woman ought to show fidelity to her husband, keeping her hair long and using a veil (which was used as a symbol that she was compromised with her husband, being faithful to ele).

 

Nonetheless, after Jesus’ death, the New Alliance became available and now the standard for the marriage established in Eden was restored (Gen 2:24; Mat 19:4-8). Now, husband and wife need to show the principle taught by Paul below:

 

·       1Cor 7:3-5 -> “Let the man render unto the woman due benevolence: and likewise, also, the woman unto the man. The woman has not power of her own body, but the man: and likewise *also the man has not power of his own body, but the woman*. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

 

That is to say: if the woman needs to use veil in order to show that her husband is authority on her, therefore, in the New Alliance, the reciprocal is truth (perceive that the husband’s body belongs to her wife).

 

Nonetheless, we have a problem:

 

·       1Co 11:14 -> “Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him,”. 

 

For the man, have long hair is a shame. See, for instance, the order for Levitical priests below:

 

·       Eze 44:20 -> “Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.”.

 

Not to mention the Nazirite vow (Numbers 6:1-21). If the use of long hair was usual and beautiful for the man, this vow wouldn’t add up. Therefore, the long hair for man was to be a sign that he devoted himself to the Creator and was, for this, worthy of respect and assistance (exact the opposite of that the Israelites did):

 

·       Amo 2:12 -> “But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’”.

 

Furthermore, imagine how long hair would make difficult for the man at the time of going to battle. So, for men, long hair was unbecoming.

 

On the other hand:

 

·       1Co 11:15 -> “but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.”. 

 

For the women, have long hair is a glory. So much so that, beyond all that was shown previously, we can see how this woman could use her long hairs specially to wipe Jesus’ feet (Luk 7:38; Luk 7:44; Joh 12:3). Not to mention that, in Revelation 9:8, the grasshoppers will have hair as of a woman. Considering that the nature of the hair of both (man and woman) are equal, the only difference is the size of the hair.

 

In face of this, how to sort out this quandary? Fulfilling outright the instructions below:

 

·       1Cor 11:11 -> “Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman”.

·       Gen 2:24 -> “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”.

 

That is to say: staying close together ever.

 

Think: when you wake-up, certainly you never found your head in the refrigerator eating something while your body was in the bed. Wherever you go, you go for complete. If your foot is hurting, it isn’t only your foot which goes to consult the doctor, but the whole you.

 

So, when husband and wife really behave like a unique flesh, staying together in all circumstance, place and time, nobody will doubt that they are married. I know that this is difficult, but this is the only manner for which:

 

·       Wife recognize the authority of her husband on her and keep herself submissive to him in all good work of the Creator for Him;

·       Husband recognize that his ministry and prayers are of no value without her wife:

o   Mal 2:13,14 -> “And this second thing you do. You cover the LORD's altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand. But you say, “Why does he not?” Because the LORD was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.”.

o   1Pe 3:7 -> “Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.”.

Conclusion

Although today the woman doesn’t need to use veil, they need to observe what Paul and Peter taught:

 

·       1Ti 2:9,10 -> “likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.”.

·       1Pe 3:3,4 -> “Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.”.

 

By the way: for here, we can see that the women don’t need to use veil. After all, if their head was to be covered with veil, the cut hair wouldn’t make any difference.

 

However, considering that:

 

·       the harlots use the cut hair to engross men’s attention, the women need to use their hair with simplicity;

·       the feminists yearn for turn the women into men, the women need to use their hair with femininity.

 

The immediate relationship of the woman is with her husband. The prayer of the woman only will be acceptable to Jesus if her head is covered with what Jesus wishes to do in the life of her husband.

 

Only if she is outright submitted to what Jesus desires to minister through her husband, she will be able to receive some prophecy coming from Jesus.

And she only can convey this prophecy intimately, when she is alone with her husband:

 

·       1Co 14:34,35 -> “the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.”.

See, for instance, this passage:

 

·       Act 21:9-11 -> “He had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied. While we were staying for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. And coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is how the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’””.

 

Although Philip had four prophetesses in his house, when Jesus desired to warn Paul, he sent Agabus for this task. This wouldn’t be necessary if Philip’s daughter could prophesy publicly. They prophesied only to their father.

 

In the end: the ministry of the man is directed to Jesus. He ought to receive everything that Jesus has to his home, convey this to his wife which, then, she will pray to Jesus pursuant to this and multiply this, ministering to her children (physical and spiritual) and prophesying, in particular, in the life of her husband.

 

If the woman do this, will happen what it is said in Proverbs 31:

 

·       Pro 31:28-31 -> “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.”.

 

Unfortunately, the feminists turn the role of the woman into an offense to them, to such a point that, reading this, many women think that the Creator is male-chauvinist, obliging the woman to live in the shadow of her husband.

 

Nonetheless, the Psalm 91 doesn’t invite the man to rest in the shadow of the Almighty?

 

·       Psa 91:1 -> “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”

 

Thereby, the best place to the woman is in the shadow of His husband.
