The Song of Solomon: God’s Purpose for Taking the Woman out of the Man – Part 3

[Study Aired February 7 2026]

While Adam is the principal sinner, having abdicated his headship over his wife by submitting to feminine logic, Eve highlights mankind’s 200,000,000-strong lies (Rev 9:16-18), inventively accusing and excusing themselves while manipulating relationships for personal advantage – all highlighted by the Woman, now unwittingly becoming the signified New Adam. She additionally inherits his curse from him in all carnal marriages by not outwardly tending her vineyard, her fields in her home building for him, infertile and overgrown with emotional thorns and thistles (Son 1:6), in control of espousal intimacies represented spiritually. We know that irritating truth by the Lord’s humiliating experiences with Old Israel as his wife in the wilderness, embedded in her Eve-like feminine wiles carried forward perpetually in the flesh of mankind until the First Resurrection and first corrected by his Bride.

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

Our Lord designed mankind, characterised by women and wives, to reject their husbands’ headship, all ruthlessly symbolised by ancient Israel in the wilderness, the Lord’s first wife. She, like Gomer to Hosea and the budding Elect to Christ, was a God-induced heartache to her respective husbands, indicative of the New Adam’s temporary condition. As the aforementioned song goes, “It’s a Man’s World”, meaning, it is God’s world.

Eze 20:5 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known [H3045 – espoused ‘knowing’ intimately] unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
Eze 20:6 In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
Eze 20:7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Eze 20:8 But they rebelled against me [rejected their husband’s intimate advances teaching them his word], and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

Exo 14:11 And they [Israel, the Lord’s wife] said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
Exo 14:12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

That is what every Elect husband or wife hears from their non-Elect spouses, since what they, as Eve did, see and feel through their senses is the stark testimony to wealth physically, intellectually and monetarily. Centred in Eve’s emphasised femininity, highly subject to sensualities, those elements are vital to hiding the mystery of seeking what we must worship in spirit and truth.

Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Understandably, yet a vital necessity, it is a dreadful burden that the ‘weaker vessel’ is highlighted to carry her greater load of “many inventions” of Ecclesiastes 7:29, emblematically 200,000,000 of them guaranteed to embitter all husbands duplicitously. All Babylonian women, internally, know and rarely admit, and then resentfully, that they are full of female artifices to get their way in all strata of society, particularly in marriage. Upon being taken out of Adam, her stratagems, concentrated in her DNA, and mainly uncontrollably manifested impudently without apology – a wretched condition infecting mankind. Why? To condemn Adam, representing mankind who rejects God, signified by Eve rejecting Adam, demonstrated in the most impactful, hurtful manner conceived, fulfilled in Christ, rejected by his first wife, Old Israel, of a wife’s inevitable rejection of her husband’s insatiable need for espousal intimacies.

That is a significant burden of the Bride’s high calling (Phil 3:14, Zec 12); she now enthusiastically turned around in The Song of Solomon.

Mar 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Luk 9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes [the Woman, the church], and be slain, and be raised the third day.

Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law [Notice, men singularly against God and every scheming variation of women against both men, women and God; both entities being the same]
Mat 10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Our enemy, being of our household, is any member rejecting the husband’s headship, all cascading to the children being against both their father and mother, as are the Babylonian churches against Christ.

The Creation of Man and Woman:

Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Gen 2:6 But there went up a mist [Emblematic of the holy spirit coming much later in ‘kisses’ to rejoin the man and woman effervescently] from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Skipping down,

Gen 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely [begin the process of dying] die.
Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Gen 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Gen 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

In God’s plan for “the beginning of the creation of God” (Rev 3:14, Joh 10:34), the birthing of man in the flesh is, from the outset, designed for destruction before being gifted eternal life with the same unspeakable power and glory at their fingertips as the Father (Gen 40:41-42).

1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Consequently, the crowning glory of scriptural understanding of mankind’s terrible experience of evil is alone in this age for the Bride to understand – just who is Lord and King, she, the woman (mankind/the harlot church) or Christ, the Husband. God will not allow His headship to be continually challenged by His creation. Hence, he designed mankind to learn through the bitter experience of corruptible flesh the order of headship; consecutively, the Father, Christ, the man, his wife, and their children are represented in marriage as a significant part of the pattern of salvation! For mankind, and foremost, the Bride, to have that order thoroughly embedded in their heart, mind, and spirit, mankind must be severely humbled, and the most humbling experience is for both a physical husband and wife to be cursed by their indignant rejection that God should rule over them, telling them what is right for their happiness.

Accordingly, the world’s churches, represented by wives and women, are the key performers, comprehensively objecting to ‘some man’ ruling them and, more eminently, men objecting to Christ ruling them. That pattern experienced spiritually by every human who has ever existed is the intrinsic nature of evil flesh, highlighted by Adam and Eve’s curse, manifested in marriage, consummated in and by the star soloist, the Bride of Christ.

Ecc 1:13 I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: it is an experience of evil Elohim has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.

Hos 13:9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help [G5828 – is the same ‘help’ as Eve is Adam’s “helpmeet”]

Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Two aspects of the term “Helpmeet” are derived for its understanding.

Help – H5828 1. help, succour [Comfort] a. help, succour b. one who helps [comforts].

Meet – H5048 1. What is conspicuous, what is in front of adv 2. in front of, straight forward, before, in sight of.

When the Lord brought Eve to Adam, Adam immediately saw that she was like him, yet different. Eve’s most conspicuous difference was her outward bodily presentation, which deeply intrigued his mind and spirit to “know” her; the most profound and resultant aspect of that ‘knowing’ was the sexual unity melding all three elements into wholeness — of one mind, body and spirit as one, comforting him, oblivious to the coming complications of him listening to his wife rather than God.

1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Through our hindsight discernment by the holy spirit, that ‘helping comfort’ Eve engendered in Adam, essentially enlivened by his lust, was about to transform into an experience of evil, deludedly perceived as love — an overpowering mixture of confusion afflicting Adam’s sensibilities, utterly unaware that his wife’s overruling actions would be emblematic of the future Whore, Babylon the Great (Rev 18).

Accordingly, a man’s introduction to or view from a distance of a woman, her attractiveness is instantly calculated visually, without any other virtuous “helpmeet” credentials adding to her value. Once she has aroused his attention and he can interact to learn of her other possible virtues, the inherently ignoble man will always place a higher value on the level of sensuality she evokes than on her other potential helpmeet qualities in Proverbs 31:10-31. A man of Godly sophistication is likewise always instantly visually attracted, yet knows that her beauty can evaporate equally as fast if all she represents is an intractable ‘show pony’. However, her value is akin to ‘far above rubies’ only if she embodies a synthesis of Martha and Mary. If her outward beauty is comparable to that of Leah—relatively modest and typical, as is the case with many women, varying in subtleties—her primary asset is her carefully cultivated sexual appeal. When combined with the enthusiastic ministrations reminiscent of Abishag or Esther, her basic presentation can transform into something incredibly beguiling, adding an element that is ‘too wonderful,’ as pondered in ‘the way of a man with a maiden’ (Proverbs 30:19). This perspective offers immense hope to socially anxious women perceived as lacking conventional beauty. Men are so easily seduced. Such women, with seemingly simple appearances, yet who momentarily devote a sincere, centred smile to a particular man, can immediately dispel his negative perceptions.

Pro 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Son 6:5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me…

Even though “he who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour of the Lord” (Pro 18:22), one who brings immense joy to a husband, she comes with a hidden price, not necessarily monetarily, but spiritually, unwittingly characteristic of harlotry. Consequently, the Bible is about the torturous journey of two men, the Old Man in Adam and the New Man in Christ, paradoxically characterised by the protagonist, a woman, whom Christ transforms into the pinnacle of his creation in the Bride, and her marriage to Him for the salvation of the rest of mankind.

In the Kingdom of God eternally, there is neither male nor female. Mankind is a unique and fascinating phenomenon, designed materially to signify his progress toward becoming God. In the meantime, he impudently poses as god, on the God of God’s throne.

Gal 3:28 [In the Kingdom of God…] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecc 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Ecc 3:22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better [while in the flesh], than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Th 2:4 [Mankind, represented by the Great Whore] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

We have identified many of the results of Eve’s curse. What further impact does Adam’s curse have on Eve and mankind?

The first time the term “cursed” or “curse” appears in Scripture is in Genesis 3, and the first to be cursed from conception is the Serpent, the Devil himself.

Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Possibly because Adam was not deceived, Eve is next in line to receive the outcome of her curse, followed by Adam. One would generally think that, even though Adam was not deceived, he was still the head of Eve and thus should be the first to be reprimanded. Not so, because the principle of ‘the first shall be last, and the last, first’ was already covertly in play, with God steering Satan’s inherent lying nature to pick on Eve, him knowing that Eve, in representing all women, would have a massive flow-on of artifices over all men until the end of the Sixth Day of mankind’s rule. Regarding the principle of the first shall be last, and the last, first, Eve is first to be deceived, but the New Adam in her, although last, becomes the first as the Bride. No wonder God’s word is a mystery to Christian Orthodoxy.

Even though Adam represents mankind comprising men and women, Eve, the last to be created, will represent the coming Church, likewise constituting men and women, despite that she represents the future two wives of the Lord, the Whore and the Bride – again, the first, being the Whore in the wilderness will be last to be saved, while the previous wife, the Bride is the first. It appropriately identifies the female protagonist, the Bride of Christ, as the celestial body in harmony with her Husband, who has been exalted to the place she has always desired, rather than former notoriety as The Great Whore in each of us. Sitting as a queen, impudently believing her espousal to Christ, now correctly appointed in the order of headship under, and virtuously married to ‘the’ Christ.

Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The Serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the Serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

Again, and without repeating our many detailed studies on the significations of names, the Body of Christ is well versed in what cattle and dust represent. The upshot of Satan’s curse is that he devours mankind, particularly through the easily beguiled woman’s multiple emotional stimulations, who, in turn, conveniently beguiles her husband, Adam, particularly sexually, and he dismissively knows it, silently fearing complete disconnection bitterly. In the world, the most dissolute men easily fulfil their lust for females anywhere, worse, even of their own gender.

1Ti 2:14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

Eve couldn’t have deceived Adam, as that would later imply that the Lord was tempted to give in to Old Israel’s endless attempts to trap his heart absurdly, just as Satan tried, before Christ being taken to the cross. Both accounts required Christ, the Last Adam, to be tempted to submit to his fleshy sensualities, which we know for him is impossible, since without the Father, Christ can do nothing.

Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. [Nothing means nothing]

Since Eve came from Adam and is female, her hormonally driven level of sensory awareness is significantly higher than Adam’s, and this now forms a natural part of all women. Her heightened sensitivities bombarding her mind, depending upon the psychological makeup of the individual, leave women prone to highly variable levels of sensory overload, and to varying degrees, affecting their every decision. Indeed, some women with higher testosterone levels are less easily affected by estrogen spikes. However, if not recognised early, their high likelihood of emotional bias in decision-making can destabilise analytical thinking. Because of sentimentality, they are left vulnerable to deception and avoid critical, truthful analysis. Those God-designed female traits that make her susceptible to deception also affect men with psychological impotence from willingly submitting to lust, or naturally low testosterone, and, like the female, are far more vulnerable to deception—indicative of him being injured in his privy member and stones.

2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Jdg 16:5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her [Delilah], and said unto her, Entice [deceive] him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

Exo 22:16 And if a man entice [deceive] a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

Although indicative of mankind, the inescapable, and for some women, the unpleasant truth is that women are purposefully highlighted as being innately predisposed to deception and deceiving (Ecc 7:26-29) to portray Babylonian churches directly. That condition from Eden, affecting all male and female interactions, and particularly carnal marriages, is a prime and necessary result of taking the woman out of the man, enlivening the Bride’s understanding of the entire process.

Adam, although not deceived, is representative of all men, by God’s design, are consumed by Eve’s mystical beauty and would much rather experience what is before their somatic sensory system, the lust of the flesh and the eyes, even while their consciences excuse and accuse them from keeping God’s word. (Somatic sensory: a subsystem for the detection of mechanical stimuli (e.g., light touch, vibration, pressure, and cutaneous tension), and a subsystem for the detection of painful stimuli and temperature.)

Gen 6:2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.

At this juncture, it is essential to understand the significance of Ecclesiastes 7:26, as its dynamics profoundly affect every marriage and physically represent the all-important spiritual reality unfolding throughout these studies.

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.

Solomon encountered numerous instances, with his 1,000 wives, reflecting the involuntary consequences of Eve’s curse. This curse entailed a wife’s deceptive assurances of honour and respect, promising submission to her husband’s spirit in unity, which served as an inherent stratagem to entrap his heart. Consequently, upon experiencing the deception thousands of times, within the context of marriage under God’s law, he was bound in matrimony with no means of release except through death, paralleling Christ’s experience with ancient Israel.

The significant obstacle every husband faces, stemming from Eve’s (and his to Christ) curse, is her opposition to his leadership, as she insists that he pursue her sentimentalities to feel loved—dogma and complexity of a critical scriptural theme of the Bible, quite the opposite of what the holy spirit inspired Solomon to pen its simplicity:

Son 1:4 Draw me, we [The collective joints in the Bride] will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

Much more will be extrapolated from that verse much later in the actual study of the Song of Solomon. However, for this occasion, I wish to highlight the overwhelming theme of women, particularly wives, demanding that men, and specifically husbands, run after them!

A house divided cannot stand. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand – Mat 12:25. Every man and husband experiences that damnable obscenity; that if she honours her husband as her leader, she will have to give up her power over him—exemplifying her staunch resistance to his headship, and insistance of being against him, and Christ. However, she will angrily and with tears say that is not so, that all he has to do is “love her”—exactly, by her methodology of him bowing to her!

The ONLY man given to escape from her is the Bride through the death of herself, her old man.

Since Adam has now physically and spiritually abdicated most of his headship to Eve and, for the most part, worships her in marriage, the emblematic church that she represents runs riot with her self-elevation, becoming a host of harlot churches.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee [Satan, our first father, we, being his seed] and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed [Men and women alienated]; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel [Lead mankind to eternal life through Christ].
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be (to) against thy husband, and he shall [Ultimately] rule over thee [unrighteously and finally, righteously].
Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Gen 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Gen 3:20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

The fundamental theme of Adam and Eve’s curses is their disunity of mind and spirit, with a primary focus on Eve, who sows profound sexual discord, a lustful desire lapped up by Adam, resulting in the tumultuous struggles of spiritual life. This depiction illustrates the Church’s virtuous growth to maturity. Since Eve is the mother of all living, those complex struggles highlight mankind’s painful birth from the spiritual loins of Christ’s Wife, the spiritual mother of the eternally living. Interestingly, Solomon’s profound understanding of women, as he experienced with his 1,000 wives, incriminates men for their equal ‘inventiveness’ in Ecclesiastes 7:29, epitomised by the intrinsic nature of women.

Ecc 9:1 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them [All are deluded predominately by Eve’s curse infecting marriages mirroring the church’s].
Ecc 9:2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

Hence, women attempt to rule men, implemented rigorously by wives ruling their husbands sexually, his emasculation utterly destroying the dissemination of truth, adding to his curse by his impotence of ineffectively washing her with the word.

Rev 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

Rev 17:16 And the ten horns [Mankind, and our power of having imagined the appropriation of God’s throne] which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Rev 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

What potent methodology does that ‘woman’ employ to rule all kings, meaning mankind, whereby they willingly give her power? The principal is the natural, and then the spiritual comes into play (1 Cor 15:46-47). That first ‘natural’ element is her gloriously beguiling sexual prowess, weaponised to rule lustful men. It spiritually represents a false doctrine: the sweet lies that men indulge in to satiate their craving for intimacy, with its quid pro quo forcefully validating the woman’s illusory beauty (Pro 31:30) and her devastating control over men, primarily husbands.

Women have men believing the psychologically manipulating adage, ‘Happy wife, happy life’, magnifying her assumed divinity, his focus on her; a stealthy distortion of the truth, a spiritually ‘Happy Husband, Happy Wife’. However, while in the flesh, she arouses endless experiences of the type described in Ecclesiastes 7 to gain men’s and a husband’s unflinching focus on her. All of these constitute a significant part of rejecting his headship and creating disunity, as evidenced by her being taken out of Adam, re-created externally, and returned, unified internally, in Christ.

Throughout history, humanity has focused on women. In dance, he leads, but the focus is on her. Because of her innate charm, and if sustained righteously, even in politics, she becomes a Deborah (Jdg 4:4-5), naturally attracting immense honour and respect, usually in governance reserved for a male. At the marriage ceremony, she, emblematic of Christ’s Bride, rightfully draws the most attention, subtly usurping unrighteous authority with ease.

It is now well established that the female, recognised as the weaker vessel, is last to be mentioned, if at all, in Old Covenant family blessings and inheritances, yet subtly becomes the first (Mat 20:16). Because she is the focus of God’s work in the Old Adam transitioning to the New Adam in Christ, she is the most honoured and esteemed woman in the creation of Christ’s Wife, leading every inseminated conception to salvation. Her transition is profoundly portrayed in the Old Covenant as a whore, becoming the Bride in the New Covenant – all soundly studied in IWWB’s spiritual examinations.

Eve represents our flesh, and we are not to have our flesh rule over us. A woman, or especially a wife, is not to rule over her husband; that is Christ within.

1Co 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
1Co 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
1Co 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. That is, covered by her husband.
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
1Co 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
1Co 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

Since the Bible primarily focuses on two men, the supreme protagonist is enigmatically the Old Man in transition to becoming the New Man in Christ, who is mystifyingly represented by a woman, culminating in her becoming Christ’s Bride. Hence, she describes the outward nature of her husband and mankind and is, first, attracting fiery judgment ahead of her sisters remaining in Babylon. By our Lord creating woman, her intrinsic nature contributes to the Elect’s experience of evil, ensuring our Lord’s wrath upon our Old Man as it transitions into the New Adam in Christ.

Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are [chastised and thus,] saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

The conclusion of God’s purpose in reducing some overriding female elements from Adam instils in him an unquenchable need to be reunited. While in the flesh, that unity is marred in the Potter’s hand, destined for espousal turbulence generated by him, now manifest in his wife, the symbolic church, representing mankind, their 6,000 long years of inability to be washed by their Lord’s spirit.

Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Joh 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Joh 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

It was all planned before the foundation of the world that the female protagonist, destined for royalty, seated at the left hand of Christ, would need to be severely humbled to attain such a breathtaking status.

That distinction is what all feminists, the unwitting noisome beasts (Eze 14:21) with another spirit, raucously demand. An impassable chasm exists between them and their younger sister, the Shulamite, who is given to possessing the same spirit as her Husband. As we shall see in the SoS, she unashamedly and enthusiastically stirs up His spirit, to which He is guaranteed to respond immeasurably, thus embodying 2 Tim 1:6 and the Shulmite’s opening expression and outstanding theme in the Song of Solomon.

1Th 5:19 Quench not the spirit.

2Ti 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift [spirit] of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

That fanning aflame the sensual espoused spirit in our carnal marriages to be reunited in one mind and body, is without the holy spirit, nigh impossible; an experience of evil indeed, the world is blind to mending. That experience of fiery evil, the Bride, the “anointed cherub, typified by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, physically, she likewise walks up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

And so, the purpose of taking the woman out of the man engenders much tribulation on multiple fronts in the recreation of man in God’s image. The Bride lives the epitome of the old British naval wit, “The beatings will continue until morale improves”—and to the bewilderment of Babylon within, paradoxically, it does!

The woman at the well of Christ’s word is the embryonic Bride of Christ, who in these latter times, since the cross, are an exceptionally rare few who hear, see, and ravishingly live their Husband’s word. She, the once-ensnaring ‘fowler’, is now committed to fulfilling ‘the purpose of taking the woman out of the man’, as she forsakes her noisome intimacy dogma, leading to desolation, and is given to reunite in the spirit and truth of His commands—an infinitely superior fulfilling ravishing, Solomon carnally dreamt, and she spiritually fulfils.

In that the Bride is the New Adam, he is the supreme ‘protagonist’ as Christ’s Christs. He stands quietly by in the myrtle grove, retrospectively and futuristically observing his Is, Was, and Will Be while the female within temporarily suffers violence.

Psa 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

Eze 14:15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
Eze 14:16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the [rest of the] land shall be desolate [until the Eighth Day of creation].

Zec 1:9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
Zec 1:10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
Zec 1:11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth [of the Bride of Christ] sitteth still, and is at rest.
