Man is the Head, Woman the Neck Turing the Head.

  In "Understanding Satan's Schemes," we discussed The Darkness and The Light.  Jesus Christ is The Light of The World.  People who love Jesus love Truth and Justice.  How does Isaiah 45:7 get explained? 

I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.  (Isaiah 45:7)  

Man is the head.  Man is a decision maker.  Woman is the neck turning the head.  She helps him make decisions.   

• The Song of Songs is in the Bible as an allegory for God's love for Israel or The Church.  
• Throughout the Prophets of the Bible, the allegory of Jerusalem as God's wife has been used.
  
• With Jesus Christ, the Church became Israel.  
• There is a complementary relationship between Christ - Man -Woman.  (1 Corinthians 11:3)
• There are many allegories between faith and marriage.

 Given a young woman would like a husband, she may have dressed nice and put on perfume for a potential suitor. She was looking to turn his head, help him choose her.  

A wife would really like a new expensive purse.  When her husband came home from work, she made him his favorite meal, the house was really clean, and she was particularly nice.  

Husband and wife had been married for five years.  The wife lost respect for her husband, or didn't have respect for him in the first place.  She would like a divorce.  She does things to make her husband miserable.  She uses the shower head instead of doing her wifely duties.  She is cold to him after work, and they don't talk much.  She has a bad attitude.  

In the Old Testament, given Israel did well, they were following the Laws of Moses, and more righteous.  David and Solomon were blessed.  The Kingdom of Israel did well under David and Solomon.  Given Israel fell away, they may have become oppressed.  Bad things and misery were headed Israel's way.  

Imagine a King.  A King has various laws and traditions he follows.  Given he doesn't follow these laws and traditions, he may lose respect from his nobles, and there could be civil war. 

God Almighty has Law.  This is not The Laws of Moses but Spiritual Law. There are particular ways in which God judges things.  Given man was wicked, doing the wrong things, a society, like Great Britain, may have ended up in darkness.  God may have removed his hand of protection, and allowed in various spirits "Not God."  Given a society would like good things and blessing, they are choosing God and righteousness, and following the words of Jesus.  

It has been hard for people to see the relationship between God - Man -Woman in Feminism.  There are allegories between marriage and faith, and those are hard to see in Feminism. Marxist Betty Friedan Feminism was divisive, looking to split woman from man, to where woman is more married to the state than to her husband.  Someone who, with their soul, loved Feminism and Secular Humanism, they are going to hate "Man is the head, woman the neck turning the head."  It is a different type of thinking with implication.  Was someone in darkness or The Light of the Lord?  

Something to reflect and pray on. 

The Presence of God and The Spiritual

One day in 2014, I was reading my Bible. I was reading about the Temple of God, and the Holy of Holies. The Holy of Holies was The Most Holy Place, where the very presence of God dwelt. The Holy of Holies was separated from the rest of the Temple by a curtain or veil. Only the High Priest was allowed in the Holy of Holies, and only once a year during Yom Kippur. He would crawl in on his hands and knees with a cord tied around him, he was tethered. Given he came into the presence of God in an unclean state, or with crap in his heart and soul, he may have died. The tether was to pull him back out just in case. Between the physical and the spiritual, there may have been a curtain or veil. This has been there as a protection. Given man could experience God’s very presence in an sinful state, he could die.

When Jesus died on the cross, the veil tore. This was the veil or curtain in the Temple separating the Holy of Holies. This may have been the veil between the physical and the spiritual. This would be an Apocalypse.

For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’

16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.(Matthew 13:15-17)

There are multiple ways someone could be in the presence of God.  Isaac means laughter.  God promised Abraham a son.  God did not say when.  When Abraham and Sarah finally had a healthy baby boy, they may have laughed.  They were experiencing God, and seeing prophecy fulfilled.  Have you ever seen a church full of people laughing like they were drunk?   (Acts 2:15)

Being in God's Presence as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, like someone was in God's Courtroom, that is different.  Given someone was to walk into God's presence with sin and crap in their heart and soul, he could die or be thrown to the ground, in a lot of pain, feeling God's mighty Thumos.

 How did I learn about Angels and Spiritual things?  From God, being in God's presence.

The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. (Luke 1:19) 

Gabriel stands in the presence of God.  The High Priest, he crawled into the presence of God.  Standing in the presence of God implies No Sin. I am a man.  Faith is a journey.  Part of that journey is Sanctification, to be made Holy, in God's Holy Spirit, through The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  As a man, could I be clean enough to stand in the presence of God?  A man needs goals. 

Angels and Demons

 

An angel was a created being with a function governing some aspect of creation. Pride may be an aspect of creation. There may have been an angel that governed it. Someone that was prideful and haughty, they may have been blind to God. Pride as in self-esteem or self-worth, that may be a good thing. Different aspects of creation may be turned or viewed differently.

Given you go to The Book of Job, Chapter 38+, God starts to highlight things God has done to Job. There may have been angels governing the things God had done.

A demon, it was born of the sins of men. It may have been tied to specific sins. Cain slew Able. This was the first murder. Something may have been birthed from that.

Demons, being birthed of men, they can possess people. In someone’s subconscious there may have been some demons. Everyone may have been in “some level of possession.” A baptism, if done right, may be an exorcism.

Angels cannot possess someone.

A fallen angel was a created being with a function. It was separated from God. It may have been performing its function in corrupt ways. There may have been angels that governed things like Philosophy and Science and Technology. There may have been corruption there.

God’s Angels are:

Micha-el
Uri-el
Gabri-el

El would be “Of God” in this context. Is some of this lost in translation? Absolutely.

“How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations! (Isaiah 14:12)

I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” (Revelations 22:16)

And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—27 ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him the morning star. 29 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelations 2:16-29)

Lucifer would be a title or a function. This function may have had something to do with God’s Judgment of Nations. Satan, a fallen angel, he was Lucifer. This has to do with “What is The Light?” Jesus Christ became Lucifer, a title or a function. Satan, he coveted man. Jesus Christ loves you. God is love.

Satan would be “The Enemy.” There may have been many Satans. A Satan may have been a demonic ruler of a principality. There was a Top Dog Satan. That was, Satan, a Fallen Angel. Did Satan, a fallen angel have an El name? Samael.

This is good theology. It is flush with scripture, and flush with a lot of historical and theological context, like being flush in construction. Writing about angels, we are getting into things “Extra Biblical.” Being flush is important.
