Romanticism Holds Husbands to Ransom, Escalating the Idolisation of Women—An Artifice of The Great Whore, – Part 1
[Study Aired April 15, 2026]
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. (Son 4:9)
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. (Rev 18:7)
The objective of this study is to spotlight the insidiously harmful female tendency that, for a wife to show any interest in marital intimacy, her husband must consistently nurture her emotional affections daily. However, when her singular focus is on him, it is true, as he is glad to do so. The issue with overly emphasizing this romantic “invention” is that, since leaving Eden and burdened by her curse—symbolized by being ‘injured in her breasts’—endless emotional displays by a husband ‘injured in his privy and stones’ have never truly fostered a deep connection with any wife. Even akin to the ‘queen’ in Revelation 18:17, representing The Great Whore, who, and typified by Solomon’s 1,000 wives who have servants, handmaidens, and abundant riches at her disposal, such displays have never prompted their daily, focused, vibrant, youthful-like intimacy.
Romanticism gradually evolved over the centuries into an unquestioned social adage, upheld by women and wives as the primary means of feeling loved. Through men’s lust for legitimate and illegitimate sexual intimacies with women and husbands with wives, advanced by poets, playwrights and songsters and filling the coffers of corporate overreach, “romanticism” has become the incontestable anchor for female ravishment before she could seriously consider a potential suitor.
To elucidate this dictum, one may retrospectively inquire whether Christ ‘romanced’ His first wife in Old Israel and His Bride, today, through the same contemporary methods for her to feel ravished by him which modern women demand of men. This study aims to explore and substantiate the title, “Romanticism Holds Husbands to Ransom, Escalating the Idolization of Women—An Artifice of The Great Whore.”
Ecc 7:27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
Ecc 7:28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
Ecc 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they [men and women] have sought out many inventions [H2810].
Inventions H2810 – 1. to think, plan, esteem, calculate, invent, make a judgment, imagine, count
1- (Qal) 1. to think, account 2. to plan, devise, mean. Strong’s: From H2803; a contrivance that is actual (a warlike machine) or mental (a machination): – engine invention.
Consistently stated in the earlier Introductory Studies, the ultimate difficulty Eve has with Adam is his substantial abdication of headship, meaning that he’s symbolically injured in his privy and stones, unable to consistently and righteously head and lead his wife, Eve. His now unconsciously feminized leadership doesn’t ravishingly contrast her femininity with his, defying the natural order of how God designed male and female attraction, and thus she is naturally feeling apathetic to be ravished by him, emblematically, another ‘female’. Unconsciously, that causes her an unsettling problem in not wanting sexual intimacy effectively with ‘another woman.’ To satisfy her sensory needs, as Adam does, she ambivalently requires the distinct contrast of each other’s body’s unique reactions to imprint their minds on and in each other spiritually in profound unity. However, since Adam gifted her, for the most part, his headship to her, his now characterized injured privy and stones, although fully functionally biologically, still profoundly represent his headship, the very thing her newly acquired “wisdom” upon her deception in Eden, she now chaotically has a love/hate relationship, biased towards hate.
Psa 81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
In Eden, the Serpent tempted Eve and deceived her into believing that she would become as wise as God. (Deu 6:16) “Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.” Massah means “despair” and “test” From H5254 – 1. to test, try, prove, tempt, assay, put to the proof or test. Thus, Eve tested Adam to see if he really was her head, and consequently proved that he wasn’t, so now she steps up to the plate as the ‘wise’ one, effectuating Ecc 7:23 “All this have I tried by wisdom; I [She] said: ‘I will get wisdom’; but it was far from me”. Wisdom H2451 – meaning 1. Wisdom a. skill (in war) b. wisdom (in administration) c. shrewdness, wisdom d. Wisdom, prudence (in religious affairs), remained far from Eve because she was deceived.
Notice that the holy spirit gave the term “wisdom” figuratively the female gender, typifying Eve’s tremendously powerful quest to be as wise as God.
Pro 1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
Pro 1:21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
Pro 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity [Naivete, open-minded {woke feminist methodologies to sustain dominance}]? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Since Christ, her Husband, has exalted his Bride, “she” is the one in her streets within the gates of heavenly Jerusalem, preparing herself for Him by passionately dedicating each day to ravishing her Lord spiritually rather than insisting that for her to feel the least bit aroused to begin intimacy, he must ‘romanticize’ her.
Pro 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my [Christ’s] mouth [whose kisses are better than wine’s amplified joy].
Pro 4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
Pro 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Pro 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
Pro 4:9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.Mat 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
It is the God-given wisdom that the Bride has been justified by her Husband’s faith that she is justified to bring forth her children, the world in the Resurrection to Judgment.
The Bride’s Wisdom G4678 is a combination of the meanings above in the Hebrew H2451 and G4658, which means – wisdom, broad and full of intelligence; used of the knowledge of very diverse matters.
1- the wisdom which belongs to men.
2- spec. the varied knowledge of things human and divine, acquired by acuteness and experience, and summed up in maxims and proverbs.
3- The science and learning.
4- The act of interpreting dreams and always giving the sagest advice.
5- The intelligence evinced in discovering the meaning of some mysterious number or vision.
6- Skill in the management of affairs.
7- Devout and proper prudence in intercourse [discourse – note the spiritual intimate connection] with men not disciples of Christ, skill and discretion in imparting Christian truth.
8- The knowledge and practice of the requisites for Godly and upright living.
9- supreme intelligence, such as belongs to God.
10- to Christ.
11- The wisdom of God as established in forming and executing counsels in the formation and government of the world and the scriptures [by Babylonian Christian beliefs].
All from G4680 compared with G5429, representative of her heart beneath her breasts 1. intelligent, wise 2. prudent, i.e. mindful of one’s interests. And take particular note of where G5429 comes from in G5424 – 1. the midriff or diaphragm, the parts of the heart 2. the mind a. the faculty of perceiving and judging, [… meaning in her breasts, the epicentre of her emotions that drive her heart and mind to express their ministrations to her husband].
By connection, it is the Bride’s midriff and breasts being a “wall” in Son 8:10, meaning 1. to fence in, block up, stop up, close up 2. to put to silence, when it says “I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.” Son 8:10, and not ‘then was he in my eyes as one that found favour’.
However, in Eden, Adam’s largely abandonment of headship over Eve caused her to now distrust his judgment in all matters, is evidently well grounded, since he was apparently right there beside her when she lusted with her eyes and no doubt her olfactory, touch and the overruling argument in her mind with the Serpent’s seemingly more rational viewpoint, that did God really say that they would surely die, when death in the brand new beast world they lived in, likely hadn’t yet had time to cause death be evident… so, and anyway, what did this esoteric meaning of death really mean — similarly to everyone in Noah’s time, what is rain and a flood until it happens; so, too, possibly was Adam and Eve’s wonderment at the idea of death. Since Adam let her down by not stepping up and enriching her emotional sentimentalities with his God-given masculine power and authority to be her most vibrant source of ‘natural’ arousal. She now, as do all women, feels cheated and resorts to solving the lack of leadership themselves—engendering the contemporary adage, “Women can do everything a man can do; even better.”
In Babylon, she now has a problem with desiring coitus, let alone daily semi-passive intimacies, which she and all women, unconscious of Eden’s curses, resist due to his lack of emotional connection—and nothing will deter her from that standpoint. Why? Because she, now leading in representing mankind and especially churches, craves beautiful things (doctrinally appealing sentiments) and all sensual pleasures that arise from her, aimed at men and husbands’ patently obvious arousals, with a dismissive eye-roll, even as she visually affirms them. Protracted anticipation is far more appealing than consummation, and to keep that heady appeal in control, she certainly doesn’t want coition to end it. So she sits as a queen, rich in sensual dainties just out of reach of the breathless males. Yet, like Ahola and Aholabah, she engages her breasts and other jewelled delights to a select number of dashing paramours to keep the laity and husband on their knees, keenly focused expectantly in ingratiating servitude for sensual opportunity. Accordingly, this study’s caption verses distinctly depict the result of the everyday ‘virtuous’ home-making wife’s swift acceptance of the now-dominating order of intimate ministrations, utterly unwittingly becoming an emblematic ‘adulteress’.
“For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life – (Pro 6:26).
How? Lord willing, we will see, in these studies, the deception of “romanticism” as the price he pays for the “bread” of her word and methodologies that demand it and no other way for her to even begin to desire to be ravished. However, all husbands, caught between the proverbial ‘rock and a hard place’, not deceived, know her intrinsic “inventions”. Yet, to have the craved sexual intimacies correspondingly spiritually to Christ from his Bride, although strongly resisted for its nature of self-sabotage, he must lavish her with emotionally romanticized gifts, signifying adultery. Thus, as Proverbs 6:35 says, “He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.”
For this cause, meaning he is outrageously jealous of her, reversing the order of focus from him having to minister to her, romanticized with many gifts. The concept reverses Rev 19:7 to say, ‘Let him be glad and rejoice, and give honour to me: for the marriage of the Bride is come, and her husband hath made himself ready.’
In the meantime, he, as an Elect, recognizes that this is how he, too, spiritually treats Christ his husband, just as his carnal wife is most distasteful to him, where only God’s vengeance is wrought in timeliness, maybe in the Resurrection to Judgment (Rom 12:19).
Men, dimwittedly innocent, appear to exhibit a more genuine form of love than women, who are socialized from a young age to fall in love with the concept of love itself. The grandeur associated with love — courtship, dates, gifts, celebrating her beauty, and the most potentially damaging enthusiastic encouragement from female peers —serves to “stir up and awaken her love” (Song 2:7), though, to be in love with love. Generally, a woman’s traditional notion of romance involves being elevated above her social standing by a distinguished man she encounters, who commands presence. Suppose the man of her interest demonstrates the potential to be a good provider, is protective, healthy, well-mannered, socially respectable, and possesses qualities aligned with higher social standing. In that case, she becomes enamored of the romantic pageantry. However, since Eden’s instigations of unrighteous lusts, women and wives, if they honestly searched their hearts, know that they use romanticism’s gifted immense power over men, and particularly husbands, they weaponise for their advantage—and men not deceived, damnably know it; his idolized and thus ‘injured’ privy, ruling his ‘breast’, to incautiously throw all red flags avoiding marriage to the wind, because she is so preciously beguiling.
The dominance of the excessively emphasised concept of “romanticism” has become intricately associated with love, rendering it a fundamentally misguided aspect of the subject. We will first review the Lord’s definition of “love”.
Scripture heavily emphasizes that true, effective love for others, and most eminently a wife, is inseparable from loving Christ, as He is the source of love. The Bible directs that loving others is a natural overflow of living and walking in God’s love, and that we cannot truly fulfill this command without a relationship with Him.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
By implication, one would expect scripture to state that ‘Adam loved Eve’. However, the first use of the expression “love” or “loved” in scripture is when God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, “whom you lovest”.
Gen 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest [H157], and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.1Jn 4:7 Beloved [G27], let us love [G25] one another: for love [G26] is of God; and every one that loveth [G25] is born of God, and knoweth [G1097] God.
1Jn 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth [G1097] not God; for God is love [G26].
1Jn 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1Jn 4:11 Beloved [G27], if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
1Jn 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1Jn 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
1Jn 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
1Jn 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth [G3306] in him, and he in God.
1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1Jn 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
1Jn 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
1Jn 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Every nuance of the expressions referencing “love” has the same meaning, and has direct connections to the holy spirit’s abiding dwelling (dwelleth – G3306) within, with no prerequisite of romance. “Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth [G3306] in him, and he in God” – (1Jn 4:15).

1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
It is by God’s will that we, under the influence of Satan, have sensualized the notion of “romance” to amplify our lusts. So, commonly, when we say we love the opposite sex, that ‘love’ is heavily garnished sensually, almost always distorting the reasons to love another by God’s foundations of what constitutes love.
When the ‘root’ of our foundation of love is centered on ourselves, based on romanticism, numerous tribulations ensue, and the “root of life” in Christ, which bears the joy we ‘romantically’ desire, gradually diminishes.
Mat 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself [in and by Christ], but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Mat 13:22 He also that received seed [The holy spirit’s inception] among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches [romanticism, eroticizing sensualities; doctrines], choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
First represented sexually, God’s love is the conception of the holy spirit in us, His Bride and Wife, to bring forth the fruit of our spiritual womb, the Temple and Heavenly Jerusalem above, in utter unity with Him by keeping his commandments.
Jupiter, or Zeus in mythology, symbolizes false divinity and is associated with the idea of descent from heaven. This narrative, broadly Babylonian, depicts humanity’s fall, reminiscent of the common fallacy of Lucifer’s (Satan’s) dramatic plunge from the presence of God, which serves as a sombre reflection on the world’s place in the cosmos—earthbound and struggling to rise again by its power and might.
In Revelation, we are warned: if anyone worships the Beast and embraces its mark, they will face dire consequences, tormented by divine wrath with no rest. Contrasting this fate are the saints, whose patience is noted—those who hold fast to God’s commandments and have faith in Jesus are blessed, resting from their labours of insisting that he arouse them, their delusional good deeds on works of the flesh, following them into eternity.
Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Furthermore, Revelation speaks of the abundance of temptation found in the Great Whore, whose influence, emanating from her emblematic breasts, has seduced nations and kings. The call echoes from heaven for the faithful to separate themselves, avoiding participation in her sins and the resulting plagues. This image conjures the reality that many, past and present, have worshiped humanity’s beastly nature, personified by a female figure—a representation that can ensnare both men and women alike.
Jesus challenges followers to prioritise their allegiance to Him above all earthly ties, including family and even their own lives. In Romans, we see the dire consequences of prioritizing creation over the Creator—a reminder of how truth is distorted into lies, leading to the worship of the creature, notably the woman, representative of mankind, rather than Christ and the Father.
The notion of vanity runs deep, for life under the sun can often feel futile, filled with vexation and dissatisfaction. While the moon, symbolizing femininity and churches, is a direct scriptural basis as a deity, and is worshiped in the hearts of Orthodox Christianity, reflecting Christ’s glory, seducing mankind into idolatry. Women, under the moon’s sway, can evoke passionate desires, leading to all sorts of misdeeds and moral decay, likened to the condition of ‘lunacy’—romanticism—that overwhelming lust designed by God to blind mankind to the Bride’s purpose.
Men and women are dreadfully emotional creatures, impulsively defaulting to decisions based essentially on the significations of a man’s privy and a woman’s breasts’ incitements. Because of Adam and Eve’s curses, neither can make a Christ-like rationale for mate selection. And since carnal Adam collectively represents mankind, men’s prominence as leaders and heads of wives and family, fades into ‘drone-bee’-like status, and where the female worker bees of the world’s churches and their false doctrines, effectively are royal jelly like food for the signified queen bee, the Bride of Christ.
Mat 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Regrettably, in Babylon, awareness of and education in the necessity of dedication, self-awareness, growth, and mutual effort for maintaining a successful, healthy, and flourishing marriage are increasingly lacking. Women frequently focus on what they can gain from the marriage rather than what they can ‘minister’ to their husband, thereby neglecting the importance of personal development, collaboration, compromise, and empathy—qualities vital to fostering a resilient relationship. Such considerations are seldom included in women’s usual reflections, since their fathers, mothers and senior peers of righteous influence are first devoid of God’s word; consequently, they often experience feelings of burden and resentment towards the responsibilities inherent in marriage, feelings of enslavement.
Ultimately, this attitude stems from her curse and from a form of selfishness—an incapacity to acknowledge that there is another individual in the relationship who also requires consideration. Instead, their attention is predominantly directed toward satisfying their own desires—such as what she wants, how she prefers it, when she wants it, and her preferred methods—often neglecting their husband’s needs and emotions (… of course, always substantiated by our Lord’s experiences with Old Israel). Societal portrayals further complicate this viewpoint by erroneously implying that men are the ones hesitant to commit, while women are viewed as nurturing, fully committed caregivers. Since Eden, this misconception is inherently flawed.
Ideal commitment, in fact, provides stability, predictability, long-term vision, shared goals, and collaboration—attributes inherently associated with a Christ-like man. Such a man is predictable, stable, forward-looking, and (ideally) thrives on Christ’s mind, which naturally leads him to desire marriage because he loves his fiancée and aims to build a shared life. Conversely, women tend to project their internal emotional turbulence onto men, living amidst chaos and drama, states that may serve to reinforce victim narratives and externalize blame for their circumstances. This internal chaos fosters a propensity to keep options open, live with one foot out the door, and assess relationships based on whether their needs are met or if their expectations for love and lifestyle are fulfilled. Such tendencies explain why, according to various studies, approximately 70% to 80% of divorces are initiated by women. Women’s reluctance to fully commit makes it easier for them to exit relationships when dissatisfaction arises. Men, by contrast, tend to invest emotionally and rarely contemplate leaving once they have committed; they tend to work through issues and seek a ‘fix it’ resolution to conflicts. When women withdraw from commitment, it hampers the possibility of resolving marital difficulties, leading to a clash of perspectives and unmet expectations. Many women feel unprepared for the realities of marriage, believing it will be free of problems, and thus perceive their own marriages as disillusioning when faced with inevitable challenges.
No wonder marriages are in disarray when both spouses blur gender responsibilities, with the wife considering herself the more logical head of the home and her husband’s eyes “blemished”, meaning any defect that obscures righteous discernment.
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon [Ones self-righteousness, in this case, leadership roles].Lev 21:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
Lev 21:18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
Lev 21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
Lev 21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
Lev 21:21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Lev 21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Lev 21:23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
Lev 21:24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
King Josiah exemplifies the drive to eradicate idolatry within his kingdom, dismantling the practices that turned people away from God—including the worship of celestial bodies. And as Jesus healed those afflicted with various ailments, His power over demonic possession gives hope to the lunatic—the one shackled by desires for women, and women’s determination to keep men focused on her, leading to unwitting destruction, physically pointing spiritually.
The dynamics of marriage shift dramatically with the lens of authority. When a husband kneels before his fiancée, ostensibly to propose, he unwittingly submits his leadership to her whims, positioning her as an idol. This ritual symbolised a more damnable reality—many men become mere drones in the hive of worship that surrounds female idolatry, and the often unfulfilled expectations of marriage stir a longing that transcends simple physical desire. Consequently, the concept of romanticism is born in Eden with Adam’s submission to Eve. Now, utterly deluded that he can win her affections through romanticism, facilitating her John Keats ode of “endless bliss”, she soundly rules him sexually to her dogma; starkly and fearfully reminiscent of the Great Whore’s ruling doctrine.
As we explore this theme further, we recognise that the romanticism surrounding women often surpasses even men’s pursuit of erotic experiences. This creates a complex dynamic—a manifestation of Eve’s curse that resonates through generations, perpetuating cycles of sentimentality that clash with spiritual obligations. In the following discussions on “Romanticism Escalates the Idolisation of Women,” we will delve deeper into the intersections of desire, worship, and the spiritual implications of these societal narratives.
What draws a couple together in ravishment evolves into romanticism, which involves sharing the same mindset. Jacob’s first response to Rachel is for her beauty and her understanding of the outdoors, shepherding her father’s sheep; sheep being indicative of a unified government of one mind, following their leader, eventually for the ‘field’ of mankind; a mind that causes unity in marriage that is so connected to the same spirit, it mutually ravishes their mind and spirit to engage their bodies coitally. Initially, the modern definition of romanticism never entered into Jacob and Rachel’s relationship. For want of a better expression, what was Godly-‘romantic’ was their unified mind and spirit, ultimately celebrated in coital marriage. Even though work for a man in building his business is essential to having something to present to a prospective wife, it IS his works; they represent the works of the flesh that cannot be carried forward into the Kingdom. Nobody can enter the Kingdom based on their carpentry, herd tending, metalurgy, dam building, mechanisms of instruments of war or any other occupation. He enters into what Christ has built in him by His works in the spirit. Accordingly, Jacob was designed by God to dwell in tents; he was likely disengaged from worldly occupations, for in his spirit, he knew those physical practicalities were vital to living, but couldn’t sustain a decent society without righteous governance and its compliance. God was preparing his heart, mind, body, and spirit to rule with the principles that righteously govern society and, ultimately, unity in life eternal.
An Insidious Destructive Dogma:
Women and wives’ idolisation of romanticism rules over husbands, enslaving them desolately to indulge wives’ endless fantasies.
Ideally, sex between a husband and wife symbolizes their united mind in Christ; therefore, it signifies His ravishing word that unites them spiritually erotically (Son 4:9). Daily exercising that ‘eroticism’ spiritually, is what the Bride does, epitomising her resting in Him from her insistence on romantic fantasies, now clearly seeing that her Lord’s methodology is an infinitely superior ‘romanticism’, we shall see, the Shulamite creation of Solomon’s enthusiastically engages. Having finally found her superior purpose of being made for one man, incredibly amplifies her reason to eagerly engage with her Husband, and fulfil her every emotionally intimate need, physically and spiritually. It’s about her submitting to learning about His inner workings, not about her declaring that he doesn’t understand her so that she can feel intimately and emotionally connected. In a carnal marriage, those bright, daily intimate conversations and affectionate touch directly correlate to the Bride’s daily connectivities with her Husband, Christ.
Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Romanticism is rooted in the core sensuality that emerges from each gender’s erotic desires, as indicated by the Privy and Breasts studies. This desire for stimulation from the opposite sex is heightened when both individuals share similar ideologies. When one party presents themselves visually with elegance in both dress and demeanor, their social value increases, creating a romantic illusion that enhances the possibility of an erotic connection. Women, in particular, often find themselves captivated by an endless fantasy of sensual attention, encouraging their man to keep the ‘goodies’ flowing for them to feel loved as more valuable than morally indecent business advancements.
Even though Delilah and Samson nefariously played each other to gain power over the other’s nationality, Delilah, entrenched in female machinations, no doubt delighted in having that heady, seductive, romantic power over Samson.
The ingratiating Old Man Adam, always seeking to please his wife, asks, “How can I support you when you need me most?” Evoking an ‘inventive’ air like Delilah to Samson, and expressed with a pout — ‘You don’t love me; if you loved me, you would tell me.’ It all amplifies the turbulent romanticism that females, in particular, thrive in, demanding that their emotions be sensualised to feel loved. It is especially true for a harlot, feigning in the theatre of exaggerated attention upon her patron, since she has no vested interest in a unified spirit (Pro 7:7-27).
Jdg 16:5 And the chiefs of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Make use of your [feminine] power over him and see what is the secret of his great strength, and how we may get the better of him, and put bands on him, so that we may make him feeble; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver. (BBE)
Jdg 16:10 Then Delilah said to Samson, See, you have been making sport of me with false words; now, say truly how may you be put in bands?
Jdg 16:15 And she said to him, Why do you say you are my lover when your heart is not mine?
He who pleases her romances the idol.
Ecc 7:26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
We can imagine her feigned sulkiness in the following verses, as she caressed his hair and face, both of them flirtatiously enjoying the romantic charade, villainously.
Jdg 16:13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
Jdg 16:14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
Jdg 16:15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.
Jdg 16:16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
Jdg 16:17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
Women’s relentless craving for romantic fantasy quietly repulses men, who feel obligated to sustain the likes of Valentin’s Day, lest their women’s conditioning to feel unloved be affronted reflexively. Still, men cannot ignore their womenfolk and wives’ insistence on it, because of their constant and annoying fear of their amatory pursuits being cut short; he is doubly shackled, they both silently acknowledging his enslavement to his privy’s demands—to him, her subjugation of his honour and respect of his headship, he hates, yet submits.
In Babylon, women ultimately view sex as an irksome necessity to sustain some semblance of marital functionality. They demand that they must be romanticised to ‘feel’ loved. He must whisper smooth, tingling sensations in her ears, validating her beauty, which he has come to realize through experience doesn’t guarantee advanced intimacy, akin to spiritual deceit, a form of worshipping ‘calves’.
Isa 30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Hos 13:2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
For many men, solitude often brings a sense of tranquillity that is hard to achieve in the complexities of relationships. Much like the experiences chronicled by Solomon, the quest for fulfillment can lead a Babylonian man to seek sexual gratification with countless women. However, this pursuit often comes with the heavy burden of avoiding a partner who might threaten to dismantle the peace he has painstakingly built, seizing his wealth and security. The world sees this as tragic; the real victims in this scenario are the children, who find themselves caught in the crossfire of adult discontent. Deprived of a stable masculine influence, their formative years become a confusing tapestry of emotional challenges, leaving lasting marks on their development and understanding of healthy relationships. The major problem with the world’s view is that if the parents had their foundation of love patterned after the Shulamite’s knowledge of her Lord’s methodology, the children wouldn’t be in this quandary. In the meantime…
Pro 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
Jonathan’s love for his dearest friend, David, starkly endorses these bothersome realities that the breast-injured Eves of the world bring to marriage. The principle that gender doesn’t extend to the Kingdom of God indicts women’s intrinsic psychopathy, an experience of evil inevitably brought to marriage, as Old Israel, ad nauseum depicts, emblematic of the Bride’s journey through much tribulation, becoming the royal female protagonist in submission to Husband, Christ.
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Act 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
A man genuinely in love or imagining that he is in love with a girl of his lust (There is righteous lust as there is illicit lust. 1 Tim 3:1 G1937. G2372) knows that if he can consistently play an engaging tune on her emotional strings, she will perceive it as love: a glorious romantically bonded feeling longing for it to last forever — for the Shulamite in the Song of Solomon, it does!
2Sa 1:26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
2Sa 1:27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
There’s the answer. Women’s (the churches and the flesh) intrinsic complexities are a temporary phenomenon to bring forth the Manchild Christ for the recreation of Christ in his Christs and sons of God. It is depicted in Jonathan and David’s love for each other, spiritually transcending that of the immense sexual appeal of a woman. The profound comprehension of love exhibited by Jonathan and David exemplifies the spiritual love between Christ and His Bride.
For the Elect of God, the hope of love is initially romantic, and genuine romanticism is strongly activated when a man chooses his wife upon her acceptance. However, women, influenced by men’s lust, place the pursuit of romanticism first and foremost, before being chosen, when it should stem from their espousal commitment, exemplified by the Shulamite in the SoS.
Undefeatedly, the world’s version of romantic love is transactional, and women, in particular, believe their beau should love them unconditionally as they are. Paradoxically, and without Christ’s commands, men must accept the female’s perplexities of birthing love in pain using her romantic methodologies — torridly, a match made in heaven for an experience of evil.
Women, driven by their enduring pain to seek romantic fulfillment, mistakenly believe it to be love, masochistically perpetuating their control over men’s breathless worship of their image. In contrast, men seek approval for their equally enduring lust and conclude romance. What a hopeless combination. Let’s not get into online video female body and fashion influencers and every female elevating fetish imaginable; they are downright humiliating… but they don’t care.
