What does it mean 1Corinthians 11:2-16? (Part 13)

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.
