The parable of the lost Son-Luke 15

For hundreds of years churches have been teaching the parable of the lost son/prodigal son to mean that a back sliding son coming back to the Father. While at the surface this may seem to true but the hallmark of carnal man is to look at surface level without understanding the 'spirit' in the 'letter'. While carnal man acknowledges that parables are earthly stories with heavenly meanings their derivation still are void of the 'spirit'.

While people would look at the context to interpret this parable the context would only fit well if we see the whole counsel of Alahim throughout his word. Let's see the context first and then the parable itself.

Lu 15:1 ¶ Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

 3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

The context: The publicans and sinners DREW NEAR UNTO HIM (Messiah) TO HEAR HIM while the Pharisees and scribes did not. Instead they stayed afar off complaining that Messiah receives sinners to draw near him. Messiah questions them as stated in verse 4: 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

So the context is the 'LOST SHEEP' whom Messiah goes to find and bring back. How were publicans and sinners 'LOST SHEEP'? Were they righteous before they were lost? When were they lost? These are the questions for which we must seek an answer for by looking at the entirety of Alahim's word. 

Lu 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of Alahim over one sinner that repenteth.

The rejoicing of the angels over 'one sinner' must be understood in the spiritual with spiritual comparison and we will see this 'ONE SINNER' who repents and comes back to Alahim in the spiritual comparison. We will see how he was LOST and FOUND

Lu 15:11 ¶ And he said, A certain man had two sons:

 12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

 25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

 26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

 28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

 29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

 30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

 31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

 32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Let's look at the parable closely. A man had TWO SONS. While those reading this parable would see themselves categorically identifying themselves with the prodigal son and testify that they are saved yet they would teach that the Prodigal Son stands for a sinner coming back to Alahim yet how they wouldn't be able to tell. How were they lost? they wouldn't be able to tell but Alahim's word tells us how the SON WAS LOST.

Isa 49:14 But Zion said, The YAHUAH hath forsaken me, and my Yahuah hath forgotten me.

 15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Isa 49:20 The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

 21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

 22 Thus saith the Yahuah GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

When we read Isaiah 49 we read in verse 14 an imagery of Zion saying the Yahuah has forsaken her and forgotten her and Alahim assuring her that he can never forget his own. Alahim then tells her that there will come into her other children which are not her children (picture of false brethren) and they will tell her to give them place so that they dwell in her and she will say (verse 21) who has begotten me these children seeing that I have lost my children and the children she has lost (verse 20) Alahim tells her (Zion) that he will lift his hands to the Gentiles and set his standard to the people and they shall bring her sons in their arms and her daughters on their shoulders.

Eze 34:10 Thus saith the Yahuah GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

 11 For thus saith the Yahuah GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

 12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

 13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

 14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

 15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Yahuah GOD.

 16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

 Ps 119:176 ¶ I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

When did Zion loose her children?

In the study 'The Purpose of Genealogies' on my blog www.dsouzashodan72.blogspot.in we saw Noah's three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth who after the flood procreated the whole world and Noah prophesying that Japheth would come into the tents of Shem.

Gen 9: 26 And he said, Blessed be the YAHUAH Alahim of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

 27 Alahim shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

We then saw that the descendants of Shem were the Israelites  and from Japheth came the Gentiles.

1 Chronicles 1:17-27 The sons of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech. [18] And Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber. [19] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was Joktan. [20] And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, [21] Hadoram also, and Uzal, and Diklah, [22] And Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba, [23] And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. [24] Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, [25] Eber, Peleg, Reu, [26] Serug, Nahor, Terah, [27] Abram; the same is Abraham.

Genesis 10:2-5 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, andJavan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. [3] And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. [4] And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. [5] By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

In Sojourning when Japheth went out from his brother Shem he begat the Gentiles who in their journey forgot Alahim and adopted paganism worshiping false gods. Shem's descendants were not far away from the Gentiles, they had become spiritually bankrupt giving lip service to Alahim by an outward show/lip service but never saw the 'spirit' in the 'letter'. Alahim is telling Zion in Isaiah 49 that he will lift his hand to the Gentiles who will bring her children back to her in arms and her daughters on shoulders by raising up a STANDARD.

Isa 49:22 Thus saith the Yahuah GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

The Standard Alahim raised was Messiah.

Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the YAHUAH from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the YAHUAH shall lift up a standard against him.
 20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the YAHUAH.

The Hebrew words translated 'Standard' in Isaiah 49:22 and Isaiah 59:19 are different. The one in 49:22 means 'flag/banner' and the one in 59:19 means 'flight'. The one in Isaiah 49:22 shows Alahim gathering his lost sons by his banner and in Isaiah 59:19 Alahim is showing the scattering of the enemy coming in like a flood i.e the false prophets/false brethren by his standard.

Here in Luke 15 we see the 'STANDARD' of Alahim himself drawing the publicans and sinners-the lost sons and daughters of Zion (both of the Jews and Gentiles) and scattering the false brethren the Pharisees and scribes. With this perspective we need to read the parable of the lost son to see how Zion lost her children who were now coming back to her.

Mt 4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim 14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
 15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
 16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Ro 15:8 Now I say that Yahusha Messiah was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of Alahim, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
 9 And that the Gentiles might glorify Alahim for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
 10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
 11 And again, Praise the Yahuah, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
 12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

Not all of Israel were saved and so it goes to say that not all of Gentiles were saved-only those whom the Yahuah Alahim called 'of his lost sons'

 Ro 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

Ro 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

The Israel who will be saved is the Israel of Alahim comprising of the Jews and Gentiles and not 'National Israel'.

Ro 11:2 Alahim hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to Alahim against Israel, saying,

The lost son in the parable went out with his father's inheritance which he squandered in his riotous living. The elder son accused his brother of 'HARLOTRY'

Lu 15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

The same thing the Pharisees, scribes & lawyers were doing. 

The Father's love can be seen in his waiting for his 'lost son' to come back to him and killed a fatted calf for him (sacrifice of Messiah).

Lu 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

It's interesting to see that the elder son refused to enter in and told his father that he never killed a kid (of sheep/goat) for him but for a brother who wasted his inheritance in harlotry.

Lu 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

 29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

One other interesting aspect to see here is the desire of the elder brother. He desired a kid from his father to make merry with his friends not with his father and those in his father's house which is a inward heart condition of wanting to do harlotry but being bound by law. He tells his father that these many years he served him and never transgressed his commandment yet his heart says he wants to make merry with friends.

On the other hand the lost son came to his sense to go back to his Fathers house to be his hired servant but found grace and a fatted calf killed for him, a best robe on him, a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet with great rejoicing over his repentance.

Lu 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of Alahim over one sinner that repenteth.

The rejoicing of the angels over 'one sinner' can now be understood in the spiritual with spiritual comparison and we see this 'ONE SINNER' who repents and comes back to Alahim in the spiritual comparison are all those of the children of Zion who were lost and now have come back through the STANDARD Alahim raised for her.

The elder son wouldn't enter even though his father intreated him

Lu 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

The father tells the elder son that all that he has is his because the gifts and calling of Alahim is without repentance

Lu 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

 Ro 11:29 For the gifts and calling of Alahim are without repentance.

But many are called few chosen. The rest of the called are outside like this elder brother refusing to go in and make merry with the father and are there trampling the outer court being part of the pagans in harlotry.
The Father's love is seen in gathering us his lost sons into his house, the ones who were scattered when Japheth had left his brother Shem and Noah had prophesied that Japheth would come back into the tents of Shem.

Covering/Headship of the Husband-Part 2

Background to the study: In the previous study 'Covering/Headship of the Husband-Part 1' we saw that Alahim's law is spiritual but man is carnal and a slave of sin so whenever an ordinance was given the ordinance was spiritual but carnal man always chased the 'letter' resulting in him being outside the covenant with Alahim. Only those chosen by Alahim by his mercy can see the 'spirit' in the ordinances.

There are millions who couldn't/cannot pass through the veil of Messiah's flesh to see his origin and the deep things of Alahim concerning him and hence got corrupted by the simplicity that is in Messiah.

2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.

We then saw the ordinance Paul gave the Corinthian church of 'Covering' which from ages people are observing in churches without understanding the 'spirit' in that ordinance. We then saw how the Woman is hid in Messiah and by his 'Covering' over her she is led by him to eat of the tree of life unlike Adam who had no ability to lead his Woman to eat of the tree of life but instead was led by her.

We saw the headship in relation to creation and through the headship of Messiah over the Woman (elect) we see that Alahim became our 'ISHI' (husband) and if one removes the link Messiah or misrepresents him then Alahim becomes an 'UNKNOWN GOD'. Alahim relates to his creation only through Messiah and this is his divine ordinance. Messiah came out from Alahim related to his hupostasis (substance) Heb 1:3 and all those believing the true Messiah are automatically connected to Alahim through faith in him. The Woman (elect) was taken out of man (Messiah) and not the man from the woman

1Co 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
 9  Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

Though Messiah sprang from the Woman but in Alahim's ordinance since he is before all things and by him all things consist, he was the betrothed husband to her. Adam and Eve relationship was a typology of the relationship Messiah has with his church. The Woman was taken out from Adam's rib. So the covering of her husband will save her because our lives are hid in Messiah.

Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Messiah in Alahim.

Satan who once was a 'Covering cherub' in the garden of Eden deceived the WOMAN by leading her to the tree of knowledge of good and evil (a false representation of Messiah) by telling her if she would eat of the tree her eyes would open and she would be like Alahim and since then has always been working against the spiritual ordinances of Alahim.

Ge 3:5 For Alahim doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as 'ELOHIYM', knowing good and evil.

In this study we will see how when the Woman (church) who is not under the covering of her man Messiah takes the position of a HEAD which only belongs to Messiah and she turns into Jezebel the mother of harlots teaching and seducing people to believe her lies.

1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Re 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

The Woman is to be hid in her man Messiah (be under his covering) but she comes out of his covering when she takes on 'HEADSHIP'. In our times we are seeing so many versions of the gospel floating in the world and most of these gospels lack an understanding of the headship of Messiah as ordained by Alahim. They fail to see the headship in relation of Alahim with his creation. Without the headship Alahim cannot be our Father, Alahim cannot be our husband, Alahim cannot be our friend. This relation of Alahim to his creation is through his only begotten Son who came out from his own constitution relating to creation as 'ISHI'

Ho 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith Yahuah, that thou shalt call me Ishi (husband); and shalt call me no more Baali.

Hence in Alahim's ordinance everything is reconciled back to him through the headship he has over Messiah who came out from him. Man was predestined to be confirmed to the image of the Son (Rom 8:29) and hence if one doesn't understand Alahim's relation to his creation through this headship he/she is believing a different gospel.

1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Messiah; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Messiah is Alahim.

1) head of man is Messiah
2) head of woman is man
3) head of Messiah is Alahim

Ro 8:29 ¶ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Satan has always been working in misrepresenting this headship by deceiving people into various false gospels: for example: some believe that they could approach Alahim without Messiah, some believe they could approach Alahim through Messiah but once they are come to Alahim Messiah is sidelined (just like a milestone). All false gospels in religions of the world are floating around with these beliefs which puts the Woman without the covering of her husband.

 Ge 2:22 And the rib, which the YAHUAH Alahim had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man

The Woman was taken out of the man's rib which shows that she was hid in her man and all those who are called of Alahim to understand his divine ordinance find themselves hid in their 'ISHI' Messiah. Satan desire has always been that the Woman be deceived to find her own identity outside of her man Messiah. His will can be seen in his beastly kingdoms and in one of the beastly kingdoms which Daniel saw he sees three ribs in the mouth of the beast who looked like a bear devouring much flesh. The number three in scripture signifies purpose and will (seen by three ribs in his mouth). The 'RIB' (WOMAN) in his teeth is his desire to tear her apart by deceiving her.

Da 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

Joe 1:6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

We can see this picture of devouring from the imagery in Revelation 9 i.e. The locusts from the bottomless pit. Before looking at this let's see who came out of the bottomless pit and what is the significance of this bottom less pit?

We see 'the beast which was, and is not and yet is' rising out of the bottomless pit. In my previous studies on my blog 'www.dsouzashodan.blogspot.in' we saw that the beastly rule was no longer physically ruling on the earth but the spiritual wickedness of that beastly rule was passed down to all generations and hence the life of the beast was prolonged for a time and a season as stated in Daniel 7:12. Hence we have the beast that was, and is not and yet is.

Da 7:12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

Re 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition....

Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

We also see Rev 20 showing us who was cast into the bottomless pit and who was it that ascended out of the bottomless pit.

Re 20:3 And cast him (Satan) into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

In one of my previous studies on my blog 'The Binding of Satan and his Loosing' I touch based on 'bottomless pit' which spiritually means that Satan's Mystery Babylon was restrained till the time of the end which is the 'little season'. We see that Satan is very much active in this world right from the beginning and in no way bound in some kind of literal prison so this restraining is restraining of his will to set up Mystery Babylon. Alahim instead allowed 'Mystery Babylon' to work as a spiritual kingdom in the background because the transgressors were not come to the full.

Ge 11:6 And the YAHUAH said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

 8 So the YAHUAH scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

Paul speaks about this withholding in 2 Thess 2. He speaks of the mystery of iniquity which was already at work but confined/withheld.

2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

So we see this 'rising out of the bottomless pit' shows the unleashing of Mystery Babylon which was working in the background as a 'spiritual kingdom'. With this truth in mind now when we read Revelation 9 about the locusts that came out from the bottomless pit the sun and the air were darkened by the reason of the smoke of the bottomless pit which shows 'unleashing of Mystery Babylon the mother of all harlots' causing darkening through this false gospel.

Re 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Out of the pit came these locusts who had a king over them. Locusts actually do not have a king over them but these locusts had a king over them whose name was 'Abaddon' in Hebrew and 'Apollyon' in Greek which means 'DESTROYER'

Re 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

This ruler over them is Satan who is the Messenger of the bottomless pit (originator of Mystery Babylon). Bible gives his name in Hebrew as well as in Greek which shows he is the master deceiver of both 'Jews and Greeks' to whom the gospel went to. That's why Alahim gives us his name both in Hebrew and in Greek to show us this truth and we must not miss this.

These locusts had faces as of men and hair of women.

Re 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

We see Paul saying in 1Corin 11:14-15 that if a man has long hair it is a shame unto him and the hair is given to the WOMAN AS A COVERING

1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Here we see these locusts having face of man and long hair of woman. What does this show us? In spiritual comparison it shows that the WOMAN INSTEAD OF BEING UNDER THE COVERING OF HER HUSBAND IS TRYING TO BE HIS COVERING and this is exactly what Satan and his evil spirits are doing by distorting the 'HEADSHIP'.

Isa 4:1 ¶ And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

Satan is causing the woman to do harlotry by making her take the name of her 'ISHI' in vain but eating her own bread (gospel). This Woman outside of Messiah is 'MYSTERY BABYLON THE MOTHER OF ALL HARLOTS'

Re 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Satan through his beastly kingdom is tearing the 'RIB' through the teeth of lions (Lion stood for kingdom of Babylon).

Re 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

These locusts were commanded not to hurt the elect of Alahim and their hurt is that of the scorpions.

Re 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth:and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.Re 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of Alahim in their foreheads.

Re 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

Their tails were like unto scorpions and there were stings in their tail. Tail spiritually represents 'false prophets'

 Isa 9:14 Therefore the YAHUAH will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

In conclusion the Woman was designed by Alahim to be hid in her Man Messiah Yahusha, to be his help meet but Satan has been working in deceiving her to find her identity outside of Messiah resulting in her being identified as the 'WHORE' who is being torn apart and burnt with fire.

 Re 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
