The man is still in authority.
The man is still in authority. Keeping this in mind, there are many other scriptures that are very clear about women needing to be in submission (and therefore obedient) to their husbands:
Colosians 3:18 (NKJV) Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in Yahuwah.
Titus 2:3 (NKJV) the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things– 4 – that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 -to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of Yahuwah may not be blasphemed.
According to this verse, if a woman decided not to obey her husband in a matter then she would give occasion for the word of Yahuwah to be blasphemed! The word translated “Blasphemed” means “to malign or bring reproach”. We ought to be magnifying the word of Yahuwah rather than bringing reproach and blasphemy upon it through our behavior.
Ephesians 5:22 (NKJV) Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to Yahuwah.
Why as to Yahuwah? Because Yahuwah has established the man as the authority/master/Bah’al in the home. Any decisions the man makes will be placed on HIS shoulders on the day of Judgment. If he refuses to lead, he will be held accountable. Adam’s failure to lead contributed to the fall of the human race to this day and beyond.. Did his excuse, “The woman that you gave me” work? No. Men should rise up and take their place that Yahuwah has given them as the leader of their home and as leaders in the Ekklesia.
This does not mean “control everyone.” This means “lead by example” and express your will and authority firmly, but lovingly, in the family Yahuwah has given you. Perhaps you feel inadequate. But you weren’t given the authority because you were so smart or so perfect. You were given the authority because YOU are the one responsible. Take your responsibility seriously and take the lead. Be loving and consider everyone’s needs in the family. If you believe Yahuwah wants you to do something, be firm but obedient and submissive to His will in all your decisions. Yahuwah, the most powerful being in the universe is on our side only when we are on His side. Lead by example, and by being a servant to all; even as Yahushua didn’t come on this earth to be served but to serve!
