Covering/Headship of the Husband Part 3

Background to the study:

In our previous studies on Covering/Headship of the Husband Part 1 & 2 we saw the spiritual vs spiritual in the ordinance that Paul lays down for a woman to cover her head when praying or propheysing. We saw how Eve was deceived by the once covering cherub (Satan) who misrepresented the law to her and the woman fell by the lust of the desire to become as god.

We then saw the headship of the husband Messiah and the need for the woman (church) to come under the headship of Messiah and make him her Ishi to be delivered from the nakedness of sin and vanity.

Satan was there in the garden of Eden as the covering cherub and because the woman was not under the covering of her husband he led her to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to deceive her. The tree of knowledge of good and evil stands for a false Messiah, that's why Paul says in 2 Corin 11:3 that he feared that just as the the serpent deceived Eve even so their minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.

Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Alahim; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Alahim: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

When the Woman is in her husband and his headship/covering over her she is led by her husband to eat of the tree of life. These are the words of Messiah, the husband to his church.

 Re 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Alahim.

Adam as the husband of Eve did not have the ability to lead his wife to the tree of life but was led by his wife to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This ability is only in Messiah the true husband and maker. Hence Adam and Eve as a creature were subject to vanity and Messiah cannot be a creature because he himself would be subject to vanity not having the ability to lead his wife to eat of the tree of life. Having come out of Alahim and bearing Alahim's own hupostasis (substance Heb 1:3) he leads his wife to the tree of life to give her eternal life. By his headship to his wife in becoming her husband he reconciles everything back to Alahim by this headship/covering.

In part 2 of the study we saw the 'RIBS' in the mouth of the beast which Daniel saw which is the WOMAN and her seed whom Satan wants to devour

 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 then saw the locusts coming out of the bottomless pit who had a king over them whose name is mentioned in Hebrew and in Greek to show that both the Jews and Gentiles are deceived by these locusts who came out of the bottomless pit

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.

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'.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'.

The above background is very important for us to move ahead to understand the mysteries which Alahim has unveiled from his word to see and understand the signs of times so that we do not get carried away into being deceived in being away from the headship of Messiah who alone is our 'ISHI'.

'Ishi' means husband/man and 'Ishshah' means woman/wife in Hebrew. And the bible uses the word 'Ishshah' for Eve in Genesis. In this study we will examine Gen 3:15 in the light of spiritual vs spiritual comparison to see if this was a prophecy of Messiah or not. For this let's examine word to word translation of Gen 3:15 in Hebrew

3:15 w'ëyväh äshiyt Bëyn'khä ûvëynhäiSHäh ûvëyn zar'ákhä ûvëyn zar'äH hûy'shûf'khä rosh w'aTäh T'shûfeNû äqëv š

Eybah (enmity) shiyth (to put) beyn (between) beyn (between) ishshah (woman) beyn (between) zera (seed) beyn (between) zera (seed) huw (it/he) shuwph (bruise) ro'sh (head) attah (you) shuwph (bruise) aqeb (hoof/heel)

In simple English 

"Enmity will be put between the woman and between seed between seed, it shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his/it's heel/hoof"

There is a repetetion of 'BETWEEN' in connection to woman and her seed and again 'BETWEEN' seed to seed. This is far from being a prophecy on Messiah as traditionalists have taught because it's speaking of more than ONE SEED , it's speaking of the Woman as being against her seed and her seed against her, also her seed is against her seed. That's what the verse means.

The second aspect we see is the WOMAN standing before Alahim in Gen 3:15 when Alahim cursed the serpent was naked  had no covering of her husband, was decieved into fornication/adultery by the lust of becoming as god and hence could be termed as an ADULTERESS.

We also saw in the background that the king of the locusts name is mentioned in Hebrew and Greek to show that the locusts who had faces as men and hair as woman are the seeds of the nations (Jews and Greeks) which also fits perfect in the spiritual comparison.

This same word 'ISHSHAH' is used also for adulteress in Proverbs 6:26 and 31:3

Pr 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman (ishshah) a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress (ishshah) will hunt for the precious life.

Pr 31:3 Give not thy strength unto women (ishsha), nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

With this evidence in spiritual comparison we now can see the harmony of how Alahim has placed important pieces of information of who the Adulteress woman represents and who her seed represents and what does it mean of them being against each other.

Genesis 3:15 was a curse for the serpent that the woman and her seed would be bruising/wounding his head and that the serpent would be bruising the heel or hoof of her seed.

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

Moreover in Gen 3:14 Alahim tells the serpent that he shall move on his belly eating dust. This dust is symbolic of the seed of this woman because that's where the Adamic race came from. Dust we are and into dust we shall return.

Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Re 17:17 For Alahim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Alahim shall be fulfilled.

Re 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

 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.

The Whore sitteth on waters i.e. peoples, nations, multitudes and tongues.

The ten horns are her seed (carnal/ungodly seed from Jews and Greeks) who make her desolate and naked. The bruising of Satan's head (his beastly kingdom) is a symbolism of this woman Jezebel ruling his kingdom through her seed who in different ages would give their strength to one beastly kingdom while toppling the other.

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

One of the heads that was wounded to death was Babylon which was a kingdom which was restrained and was as though was dead but still lying within the kingdom of heaven as tares until the wound was healed. Its the stump of tree wet with the dew of heaven bound with iron and brass as seen by Nebudchanazzer in his dream until seven times pass by, the seven times being the seven beastly rules of Satan on which the Woman sits.

 Da 4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

Re 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

The womans ungodly seed (ten horns) have been responsible for overthrowing Babylon which is a beastly kingdom to usher in Medes Persia another beastly kingdom of Satan and  then over throwing Medes Persia to usher in other beastly kingdoms later on. But in actuality they were giving power and strength to the beast while bruising the head of the serpent (over throwing one beastly kingdom).

While this happened physically in time it was Alahim who was at work in all this for Alahim put this in their hearts to fulfill his will of exposing Mystery Babylon which he had restrained as a physical kingdom. They were actually in their ignorance working towards exposing the Woman Jezebel who was hidden within named Mystery Babylon.

Re 17:7 ¶ And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

 Re 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

That great city is the kingdom of heaven where our Yahusha was crucified by the Jewish nation who were then the nation chosen and called to be the people of Alahim.

Re 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahusha was crucified.

This great city is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt because it's now abominable for they have forsaken the spirit of prophecy for the lie of the serpent.

In spiritual comparison we see the enmity between the woman and her seed

 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.

Enmity between her seed to seed

 Mt 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Re 17:17 For Alahim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Alahim shall be fulfilled.

The contentious woman within the house:

Pr 21:9 ¶ It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling (contentious) woman (ishshah) in a wide house.

The house represents the kingdom of heaven within which this contentious woman dwells. It is better to be on the housetop than enter the house where this woman dwells.

 Yahuah warns his people when they see the Abomination of Desoltion spoken by Daniel the prophet that they need to flee, he further instructs not to come down into the house to take anything out of the house.

 Mt 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 

Let's compare spiritually with the prophecy in Amos where Amos speaks of the Day of the Yahuah. He likens the day of the Yahuah to be as a man who fled from a lion (lion was a representation of Babylon) and a bear met him (bear represents Medes Persia). Both these kingdoms were Satan's physical beastly kingdoms. The Day of the Yahuah is like a man having fled Satans phyiscal kingdoms Babylon and Medes Persia and went into the HOUSE AND LEANED HIS HAND ON THE WALL AND A SERPENT BIT HIM.

Am 5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

In other words there is no escape for the carnal seed of the adulteress woman. They may flee one beastly kingdom by bruising it and ushering the next by giving their strength to it (bruising Satan's head as prophesied in Gen 3:15) represented by the hand leaned on the wall over here in this verse of Amos 5:19,  only to be found in the house where the woman Mystery Babylon is and hence bitten by the serpent.

In conclusion the Ishshah (Woman) who is hid in her Ishi (Husband) i.e. Messiah is clothed with the Sun, moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head (Rev 12) ready to bring forth the man child travailing in birth to manifest Messiah in her who is the hope of her glory while the woman who is not in Messiah is the adulteress woman who is naked, desolate and torn apart by her own seed in enmity with her bitten by the serpent.
