The contents of this missive has the potential to be very explosive as it will cover a topic that is fraught with dangers yet the topic at hand is so simple that two year old children understand it perfectly.
I have absolutely no doubt that my comments in this missive will be construed by those so choosing to as politically incorrect, theologically fundamental and retrogressive, gender insensitive, hateful speech and the denial of evolutionary progression.
But I also have absolutely no doubt what-so-ever that with out this topic being addressed truthfully and forthrightly THE BODY OF MESSIAH WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE OF SERVICE TO HIS KINGDOM, WILL NEVER REFLECT HIS GLORY AND RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS BRIDE AND WILL ENSURE THAT WHEN THE DAY OF THE COLLAPSE OF WORLD SYSTEMS, WHICH IS NOW IMMINENT, DOES ARRIVE WE, HIS CHILDREN, WILL MOST PROBABLY NOT BE IN A POSITION TO ENJOY THE ENTIRE BENEFIT OUR RE-BIRTH IN MESSIAH YESHUA CONDITIONALLY GUARANTEES US!
This topic is so explosive for the very simple reason being that it cuts to the heart of the very Gospel of Messiah, it deals with the roles of the male and the female within His Body!
Before going any further I shall make what I believe to be foundational and, in my opinion, irrefutable statements and if one cannot agree with them then I would suggest one deletes this blog because what follows will more than likely be very disagreeable:
- All marriages are not of YHWH Elohim.
- Whether a marriage is of YHWH Elohim or not, to qualify as a marriage of any sorts it must be constituted between a consenting male and a consenting female both able to make and understand what they have consented to.
- A relationship between 2 or more members of the same sex (gender) is an abomination and will never be acceptable to YHWH Elohim.
- YHWH Elohim never ever makes mistakes so homosexuality, "transgender preferences", bi-sexual preferences, bestiality, sodomy, paedophilia or any other sexually perverse deviancy, whether between consenting parties or not, are NOT OF YHWH AND THUS CAN IN NO WAY BE CLASSIFIED OR EVER EVEN BE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE BEHAVIOUR - THIS IS SINFUL AND WANTON LUST TAKEN TO THE EXTREME! Rom. 1:18ff
Further for purposes of this missive, I will not enter into any lengthy discussions on the purported validity of Judges 4-5 allowing women to voluntarily, and by right, adopt the role of the Priest/Pastor/Teacher over grown men within the Body of Messiah, but hopefully if required, and on a more localised level within our Kahilah's we can deal with this teaching.
But suffice to say that Deborah was a mother to Israel, NOT A FATHER and was raised to her status of authority simply because the fathers failed to rise to the occasion and were a weak, sinful and cowardly bunch, where as Deborah had the "chutzpah to challenge and oppose the prevailing status quo - much the same situation prevails today I fear!
My opinion on the roles of males and females in the Community of Messiah is further strengthened by the fact that looking at the Levitical Priesthood there were never ever any female priests instituted by YHWH.
For another example of the authority of the male as "bequeathed" to him by The Creator SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE ROLE HE HAS TO PLAY IN THE CREATION ESTABLISHED MARRIAGE we read In Num. 30 his responsibility in validating or annulling vows made by his wife or unmarried daughter, here the sages teach that a Husband/Father has authority even above the law of the land when it comes to his house! (WOW imagine taking the humanist governments to task over that one today?)
The widowed or divorced woman referred to in Num. 30:9 has already been under the authority of a man prior to her widowhood or divorce and at the cessation of this "covering" she automatically comes under the direct authority of YHWH - BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHE NOW ADOPTS THE ROLE OF THE PRIEST/PASTOR OVER MEN! We obviously are speaking here of Covenant members, both male and female, NOT THOSE OUTSIDE THE COVENANT, therefore if the widow or divorcee is Covenanted through Yeshua she will always be under the "guidance" of a male as selected and elected by YHWH to "facilitate/head" her Kahilah. See Is. 54 speaking to Spiritual Israel and to the Barren widow who has no son to stand in for her!

See Is. 54 speaking to Spiritual Israel and to the Barren widow who has no son to stand in for her!
Again a simple reading of Eph. 5:22-33 totally debunks any theory that the roles of the male and female are interchangeable.
Is. 3:12 spoke of a time of destruction that would befall Jerusalem and how YHWH would take away her her mighty men, her warriors (soldiers) sages and counsellors and replace them with children to oppress them and women to rule over them. We see in this instance that YHWH does not once again give Judah a loving mother like Deborah, but rather ungodly women to have authority over them.
I also believe that the Creation account makes it very clear that the man (Adam) was the Authority of YHWH The Creator in the Garden (he even had all of the animals brought to him by YHWH Elohim to name them (Gen. 2:19-20) - the same applied to his help-meet Chavah - Gen.2:22-23) - and that the Woman (Chavah - Adam's help-meet) was there to assist Adam in that task thus whether a man or a woman are married or not does not change that Creation roll, and that which YHWH gives YHWH never retracts Rom. 11:29.
Before we say that this situation regarding Adam and Chavah was "Old Testament" and not of the Melchizedek priesthood cannot in my opinion not qualify as an argument. This was established by YHWH Himself in the time when all was perfect according to The Creator's plan; BEFORE ANY SIN HAD EVEN ENTERED THE WORLD!

There is obviously much, much more that can be added here, but the intended point of this missive is that this whole matter of the roles of men and women in the Body of Messiah HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH DISCRIMINATION OR "GENDER EQUALITY" BUT IN FACT IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY AS CREATED BY YHWH!
I started writing this blog yesterday (26/05/16) as I was convinced that now was the time intended to approach this matter, and the fact that I needed to address this very subject twice via email to two different persons after beginning this missive solidified my resolve to send it out.
It is no secret that I believe we are in crucial times eschatologically, and it is also no secret that I believe leaving this matter alone, or putting our heads in the sand and ignoring this situation so prevalent here in Africa and the world today will just lead to more confusion, judgement and death. It is time for those within the Body of Messiah to make their thoughts and voices heard; we can no longer just sit on the side line an spectate - that too is cowardliness.
We have seen the advent of the rise of this sexual perversion with-in the Church, within the Military, within every area of society, and if we do not begin to rise to the occasion in our own homes and Kahilahs we can forget ever growing in YHWH Yeshua!
If we go back to the beginning, back to the "crime scene" of Genesis 3 and the lead up to the "fall" we see very clearly, as pointed out above, Adam had the responsibility given to him to take authority over Chavah TO PROTECT HER BY APPLYING ACTIONS COMMENSURATE AND ORDAINED TO GUARD, KEEP AND ESTABLISH THE LAWS OF THE HOUSE OF YHWH - such as DO NOT EAT OF THE TREE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL - BECAUSE IF YOU DO YOU WILL DIE (actual translation - DYING THOU SHALT DIE): THUS JUST A PURELY MENTAL ASSENTED APPROACH TO THE KEEPING OF THE TORAH/INSTRUCTIONS WOULD NEVER BE ENOUGH BECAUSE A MARRIAGE WITHOUT THESE WORKS IS DEAD - Gen. 2:17 Paraphrased and James 2:14-26
This dear brother and sister in Messiah is the entire purpose of YHWH's Torah/Instructions/Law - TO, THROUGH MESSIAH, APPLY HIS LAWS SO AS TO RULE WITH YESHUA AND WARRANT THE PROTECTION OF THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, YHWH ELOHIM. JUST AS THE BIBLICAL MARRIAGE BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN IS INTENDED TO PORTRAY! Gen. 1:26-2:3
What is so difficult to understand about that?
When Chavah listened to Hasatan and ate of the fruit SHE TRANSFERRED HER ALLEGIANCE, HER LOYALTY AND FIDELITY (Her Faith) FROM YHWH AND HER HUSBAND TO THE ENEMY!
It would seem that Adam was present at this disastrous event - AND HE, FOR WHAT EVER REASON, ALLOWED HIS WIFE TO TRANSFER HER ALLEGIANCE FROM YHWH TO THE DESTROYER AND HE DID NOTHING ABOUT IT - HE WAS GUILTY OF MASSIVE DERELICTION OF HIS DUTY AS A CO-REGENT OVER THE CREATION WITH YHWH, AND SHOWED A COMPLETE LACK OF LOVE FOR HIS HELP-MEET - HE ALLOWED HER TO COMMIT AN ACT WHICH WOULD ULTIMATELY KILL HER AND THEN INSTEAD OF ASKING FORGIVENESS FROM YHWH ON BEHALF OF HIS HOUSE, HE BECAME HER ACCOMPLICE IN THE FALL AND TRANSFERRED HIS ALLEGIANCE TO HER, THE CREATED, AND NOT TO THE CREATOR. Read again Num. 30
Please read Gen. 3 very carefully, also please note that the "curse" placed on Adam was far more severe than that placed over Chavah: He, Adam, would now labour and toil against an unyielding earth to provide for his family - no longer was everything that he and his family required there for them as it was in the Garden. Adam and Chavah had broken Covenant with YHWH, chosen the created and now had to contend for their very lives against an unleashed and ungoverned creation under the control of Hasatan - a control and authority which Adam LEGALLY GAVE AWAY!
Here are a few examples of what can be expected in a house where the man has not taken up his role as the head of the home, or has relinquished that Elohim given Authority:
Well obviously the Garden episode.
Then there is the time that Sarah spoke Abraham into making an Ishmael - Gen. 16
Moses almost dying because it is believed that his son Gershon was not circumcised because Zipporah did not agree with it. Ex. 4:24-26
Samson betrayed his oath and married out of Covenant which led to Delilah in return vexing and betraying him - Jug. 16
1 Kings. 16:29-34 shows in my opinion the ultimate end of a relationship where a man has not taken up, or has delegated his mandated authority - an Aghab and Jezebel relationship.

Ezra 9-10 an unequal yoking eliminates the believing partner from building on the walls of Jerusalem (H3389 - Yerushaliem - founded peacefully, or teaching of peace) and so cannot find any peace: And secondly can lead to a Divinely instituted divorce between husband and wife to complete the works of YHWH (as in my first marriage).
THE SERPENT IS SUBTLE, IT SLITHERS, IT MESMERISES, IT BEGUILES, IT IS CAUTIOUS, YET IT EATS THE DUST OF THE EARTH - IT DOES NOT SOAR LIKE THE EAGLE - AND IT DOES KILL!
Here is an amended version of one of the emails I sent out yesterday and to which I referred to above, it portrays what I believe, with my present knowledge of Scripture, what the Scriptures teach on this matter:
I am sitting right at this moment looking at the situation of Biblical husbands and wives, it is something I believe we really have to address very seriously because as we all know our marriages are to show the relationship between Messiah Yeshua and His Bride.We are told in the Word (1 Pet. 3:5-6) that Sarah, a woman who trusted in Elohim & whose daughters all believing women are, as long as they “do well” (G17 - a well doer, that is virtuous:- them that do well), obeyed her husband Abraham even calling him LORD (G2962 - supreme in authority, that is controller - God, Lord, Master, Sir).What does it mean to do well? I believe applying what Peter writes in 1 Peter 3:1-4 means to do well, but more than that we should have a look at the life of Sarah herself:Amongst many things she obeyed her husband even when it would seem that without the authority of YHWH Elohim he went to Egypt and then a second time to Gerar and on both occasions in what appears to be cowardliness he gave her over to other men (Gen. 12:10-20 & Gen. 20) and on both occasion YHWH protected her virtue and rewarded her for her obedience to her husband.We know that Sarah also heard from YHWH herself independently from Abraham as shown in the matter of banishing Ishmaël from the camp of the Righteous (The Camp of Abraham) to protect Yitsaak when she spoke up and YHWH told Abraham that he was to pay heed to what Sarah said - here we see Sarah being the help-meet that YHWH created her to be in assisting Abraham. (Gen. 2:18; Gen. 21:8-21).Yet we see that Sarah was also just a person like us all - She got the whole Hagar/Ishmaël story going and it’s consequences are very evident still to this day (Islam), she even banished Hagar from the Camp and this was not of the will of YHWH - Gen. 16.This is what I believe the life of Sarah says to wives then and still now to this day:
- YHWH HAS MADE THE MAN THE HEAD OF THE HOME AND THE WIFE IS TO LOOK TO HIM AS THE HEAD.
- YHWH REQUIRES OF THE WIFE TO OBEY THE HUSBAND AS IF HE, THE HUSBAND, WAS SPEAKING FOR MESSIAH (Eph. 5:22-24).
- YHWH REQUIRES THE WIFE TO ASSIST HER HUSBAND IN HIS TASK AS A HUSBAND AND WORKER IN THE KINGDOM OF YHWH AND TO THAT END BY TELLING HIM, WHEN REQUIRED, WHAT SHE THINKS YHWH IS TELLING HER REGARDING THE MATTERS AT HAND.
- BUT, AND THIS IS MY OPINION BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD:
- EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF WHAT THE HUSBAND IS TELLING THE WIFE TO DO MAY VERY WELL END IN DANGER TO LIFE OR EVEN DEATH OF THE FAMILY, OTHERS PEOPLE OR HERSELF, AND THE WIFE REALLY BELIEVES THE HUSBAND IS NOT HEARING YHWH, OR MAY NOT EVEN BE IN COVENANT WITH YHWH THROUGH YESHUA AND IS OUT OF YHWH'S WILL, THE WIFE SHOULD MAKE HER OPINION KNOWN TO HER HUSBAND AND THEN LET HER HUSBAND DECIDE WHILST THE WHOLE WHILE THE WIFE IS PRAYING AND TRUSTING THAT YHWH WILL DIRECT AND INTERCEDE AS HE SEES’ FIT GIVING TO HER HUSBAND HIS WISDOM, INSIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING IN THE MATTER AT HAND FOR THEIR HOUSE!
For the men reading this blog, and possibly feeling that the authority in their own home or Kahilah is not where it should be, or they feel that the blessing of Shalom (peace) may be lacking from their marriage: TAKE UP YOUR AUTHORITY IN MESSIAH - DO NOT FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE ALLOW YOUR WIFE TO HAVE HER OWN WAY - THEN LET YHWH DECIDE WHAT WILL HAPPEN!
For the wives that may feel their husbands are not where they should be in a spiritual or authoritative position, and they want their husbands to rise up - APPLY 1 PETER 3:1-4 AND THEN SIMILARLY LET YHWH DECIDE HOW HE WILL WORK IT OUT!
NB: If this advice given above is followed by either the husband of the wife, please expect changes and possibly much turmoil as YHWH works the wrinkles out!
What I wish to touch on now very briefly is a teaching bristling with opinions and emotions, I have teachings which I have done on this subject but I have not placed them on this blog - possibly I shall if Abba so requires; but for now just a very superficial explanation of 1 Cor. 11:1-16 - The Head Covering:
This is primarily a two fold teaching addressing the actual head covering used by married women as a rule, and secondly the feminism of the men at Corinth in the time of Sha'ul: It would seem that the men, still under the traditions of the Patron goddess of Corinth, Aphrodite, adopted forms of hair ornaments and hair styles NOT CONDUCIVE TO MASCULINITY and this was addressed by Sha'ul.
The covering of women was seemingly correct as this showed that she "aught to have power on her head because of the angels" (1 Cor. 11:10)
The word for "angels" is G32 - angels - and this can also refer to Pastors and other leaders called to bring the message. So the covering on her head as recorded in 1 Cor. 11 was possibly a sign to the facilitator/messenger of which ladies were married and under authority of a husband and which were not in a marriage Covenant (such as an un-wed younger lady still at home under her father's authority).
This is one of those matters that I believe that the husband and wife should prayerfully discuss before deciding how to proceed forward.

This is one of those matters that I believe that the husband and wife should prayerfully discuss before deciding how to proceed forward.
I have absolutely no problem with the fact that as stated by Kefa (Peter) in 1 Peter 2:9 we "
are "ALL" a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a set apart nation"
and by similarly as stated by Sha'ul who says in Gal. 3:28 that there in no difference between male and female
AS WE ARE ALL QUICKENED AND FILLED WITH THE SAME RUACH - However THIS SIDE OF MESSIH'S RETURN WE ALL STILL HAVE DIFFERENT ROLES TO FULFIL WITHIN THESE GENDER DEFINED BODIES OF FLESH WE STILL CALL HOME SO AS TO PORTRAY HIS SPIRITUAL UNION AND COVENANT WITH HIS FUTURE BRIDE!
I hear people saying how unfair this whole thing is towards the women, but that is not the case, it was what we were created to be. If we read the book of Esther we see the Covenant Jewish bride betrothed to a Pagan unbelieving King; yet by her submission and humility she won the heart of the king and saved her nation.
Then on the other side of the same coin we sit with Hosea, commanded by YHWH to marry a whore whom he, Hosea, loved as YHWH loves his fallen bride (Hos. 3:1) and through Hosea's love and commitment to the Covenant Gomar repented of her whoredom and came faithfully, lovingly and voluntarily back to Hoasea!
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED THE QUESTION WHY IF A MAN FILLS A WOMEN'S ROLE WE FIND IT STRANGE, EVEN REPULSIVE; BUT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR A WOMEN TO FILL A MAN'S ROLE?
A final Scripture to ponder this Shabbat:-
2 Tim. 3:5-7 - Is it possible that the devious men who lead weak women astray in these last days are able to do so because of their "form of godliness" - because they have an authority given to all men which they are able to misuse over women not in a fulfilling or Biblical correct marriage?
Both men and women were created as they are, both have strengths and weaknesses that when brought together by YHWH Elohim compliment and fill each other so as to portray the Glory and unity of YHWH Elohim whilst at the same time and through the institution of Biblical Marriage show the love and protection of The Messiah for His Bride flowing from the husband towards the wife.
The protection afforded the wife through the authority that her father or husband have over her, when carried out through the leading and direction of the Ruach, is a perfect portrayal of Yeshua caring and protecting His Bride and/or Daughter, His Body!
A final thought - CAN WE AS YESHUA'S BETROTHED, HOPEFULLY ONE DAY TO BE HIS ETERNAL BRIDE, ASSUME THE RIGHT AND THE ROLE OF TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO? TELLING HIM WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG ACCORDING TO OUR OPINIONS? Obviously not - Then how then can the "human wife" assume such a role over her Husband/Father or Kahila?
So there it is, I hope this makes sense and is seen for what it is - as the Word says and YHWH The Creator created into man and woman - we both need each other, through Yeshua, to truly live and survive in this sad, fallen and hostile world and one is no better than the other, we are partners in this journey of life through Yeshua! 1 Cor. 11:11-12; 1 Pet. 3:7.
Please consider this blog very carefully checking all out that I have penned here with both Word and prayer. I too am just a person trying to find my way back home!
Shabbat Shalom
