Mature understanding of the husbands authority and woman’s submission under Yahuwah
We must be mature in our understanding of Yahuwah’s plan for man’s leadership and woman’s submission.
1 Corinthians 14:20- Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
A husband has the authority to annul even a vow spoken by his wife. It would make for an awkward and disorderly situation if [a] she would have a question that he would prefer not being asked, or [b] make a statement in the meeting that disagreed with his leadership. Men are also subject to error (of course!) but for one reason or another Yahuwah chose men to lead, and we all should accept that decision. Therefore, men ought to be especially sure to be in tune with Yahuwah’s will in all things. Ultimately, it is Yahuwah that should be leading each one of us.
1 Timothy 2:8- I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 9 – in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 – but, which is proper for women professing godliness [Grk. worship of Elohim], with good works.
These principles need to be heeded today. We need the humility and meekness to pray in faith and without anger or bitterness toward others. If a woman has a humble heart, it will often manifest itself in the way she dresses. If she dresses in any way that says, [a] “Look at me!”, whether it be through [b] fancy hair and flashy clothes or [c] clothes which draw any attention to the areas of her body that only her (then or future) husband should know about, humility is probably lacking in her heart. Rather, a humble woman will have a meek and quiet spirit which isn’t looking for attention, but [a] would rather be in the background… [b] quietly fulfilling the role that Yahuwah has told her to fulfill. Therefore, the next verse says:
1 Timothy 2:11- Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 – And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 – For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 – And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 – Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
These verses confirm everything we have examined up to this point. We didn’t need the above verses for us to come to this understanding. It was evident from the very beginning of creation. Therefore, this scripture points us back to creation, to temptation and the fall of man in the garden of Eden to prove the point. A woman can serve and bless the body of Messiah in many wonderful ways, but teaching and leading men is not to be one of them. This was not and is not her role. In the same way a man was not created to bear and nurse children, a woman was not created to lead or teach men. It says a woman is saved in childbearing for a reason. It is one of the things Yahuwah desires out of woman. Yahuwah wants a seed of Elohim and He has blessed woman with the task of bearing that seed and nurturing the little ones into knowing they are loved and Yahuwah is love.
