This is a Punishment That God gave to women for eating of the forbidden fruit.
So then my question is, WHO changed it? Who said that women are equal with men? Who said the husband WILL NOT rule over them? Who said the punishment has ended for women?
The punishment was twofold and attributed as sin to the husband from where the wife came as his equal.
Women in regard to the flesh as that seen in a spiritual way have a greater responsibility seeing they represent the whole church, as the bride of Christ.and natural man does walk or understand after that seen.
Men represent that not seen in a spiritual way, the husband Christ. Together they are used to show the world what the bride of Christ (Christians) represents in respect to the gospel of Christ.
In that way the woman submits to her husband as the bride of Christ, the church submits to God. This is in a spiritual way revealed by the faith that comes through the scriptures. There are no male an females as new creatures but we are one in Christ, as to the form we will be no one knows other than we will be like the angels with no way to reproduce. . .
I would suggest that the Genesis account in that way shows the spiritual order .The suffering that both the male and female believers working together as one are used when we offer the gospel to the world in a hope that they also in spiritual way would be members as his bride. She is made up of many lively stones that makes up the spiritual body of Christ the church.
She is spoken of a chaste virgin as those who do not fornicate with false gods , by violating the first commandment. We as a whole surffer as in birth pains until Christ is formed in us or others.
We can see that I believe according to the language of the scriptures.
2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a
chaste virgin to Christ.
Paul acting as a surrogate mother
Gal 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
She is revealed according to the parable found in Revelation 12 also.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried,
travailing in birth, and
pained to be delivered. Rev 12:1
As Husbands speaking personally we need to step it up and support our wives .And together to show the world outwardly the work of God that he works in us to both will and do his good pleasure. This is so that even though we are given in a sense authority of over them being yoked to them will made the total load less to bear.
I fail and need prayer as it seems the direction of this country is going. Men need to step it up or God will send the Deborah’s (meaning Bee) to sting us men (ouch) in a hope of us waking up in doing more support in our yoke with them.
