Women Being Glorified Today

Everywhere I go, whether it be to get the oil changed, walking into Walmart, driving into car washes, getting tires changed, noticing the shelves being stocked in ANY store, asking for car parts, etc. it has usually been a woman that would wait on me.

What is going on!  Where are the men these days?  Well, to give the 'male' credit, every once in awhile a young man does enter the scene but he is decked out with his face piercings, his pants hanging below his new brain location, his manners basket is empty, his hair is an ugly mess, his language is about as good as a zoo animal... so, no wonder the women are being hired instead of the 'male.'  (and yet, the women hang around these creatures - I can't figure what they see other than rebellion in those 'guys' and that just supports their own rebellion of being in the workplace!!!).

1)  Daniel 11:37 - Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

• We see that the antichrist will have taken away the 'role' of the women by the time he arrives onto the scene during the Tribulation; welcomed by everyone, by the way - even the so-called Christians in all the modern churches who already are being taught to subscribe to his doctrine today.
• We look to Genesis 3:16 where the curse that was put on the woman was ...thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
• So, we see that the women in the workplace and the man in a lesser job or even at home with the kids is a scheme by the devil as we head towards the tribulation.
• Get rid of those God designed roles of the man and woman!
• Knowing that it is the modern religious teachings of today that support the new 'role' of the women today, we see that in II Timothy 3:6 explains it more detail.  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
• So now we see that a woman who does not choose to marry, bear children, guide the house actually give the adversary occasion to speak reproachfully is actually following the devil's plan to be like the most high!
• ... For some are already turned aside after Satan. I Timothy 5:15  That is the Christian career woman there - or even just the Christian mom working a job outside of the home in some manner!
• The devil knows that he can deceive the woman a lot easier than the man - I Timothy 2:14 - And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. -
• ...although with the effeminate men we have today becoming adults, it may be that the 'men' are just as deceivable these days.
• They are if they allow their wife to lead the home, church decisions, spiritual guidance, etc. etc. and more etc.  The devil takes down the strong man, deceives the woman and claims the kids!  That is where we are today!
• Practically speaking, by the way, if all the women doing man's work would get back home, the unemployment would shrink too!

• Why would a CHRISTIAN father take his daughter, prepare her adult life by making her get a job out into the work place; but oh yes, supposedly ONLY UNTIL she gets a good Christian husband who would then 'hopefully' have her leave her job / career, etc. to stay at home even though SHE HAS NOT BEEN TRAINED TO DO SO!  In fact, his daughter will become self-sufficient, aggressive, strong, along with a bunch of other characteristics that will virtually destroy her marriage - IF - she even will want to get married.
• That means that the father is sending his daughter out to the world, making his own daughter turn aside after Satan - making his daughter go to other men whether they be boss or the other 'men' in the stores working together stacking shelves, waiting on men customers asking, "May I help you, sir?" wearing the store low V-necked tight t-shirt with the store logo plastered on her breast exposing a very immodestly clad female body - right! That is a real father for you there!
• And today, look at how dad's allow their little daughters to dress already - is it any wonder they grow up the way they do?
• PS - I speak with observational experience as a pastor and teacher for many years - this is exactly what is happening to our young girls these days - and with the father's approval and push!  Sad to say, many of us have done it only to now recognize the damage we have allowed.
• And where were the preachers who preached this when we were younger?
• We had a Bible, didn't we? It can be explained, men, but there is still no excuse!
• PSS - Many women today work outside the home because they say it is 'easier' than being a keeper at home and having children and loving their husband.
• PSSS - and some women are forced into this situation - the death / divorce of the husband / health issues / money, etc.  and all that we just have to get our strength from God's grace in this wicked perverted crooked world.
• The 'church' should be there for those women, but that is a 'nuther' sermon some time.  The churches today are not prepared for that except the cultic rich ones such as the Mormons, etc.
• You also ask, "What about the women in the workplace that truly need a woman?"  Fine - leave those jobs to the world - the Christian lady does not need to blaspheme the word of God by working outside the home unless it is in some way assisting the ministry, as were Paul's ladies he mentions in Romans 16!
• Titus 2:4,5 - That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

• Practically speaking, verse 7 shows that any time a country begins to worship women or magnify and glorify women, the country goes to pieces pretty quickly.
• We read in Romans 1:23, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man.
• You are told that man (from the standpoint of the original creation, cf. II Corinthians 11 - 8-9) is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
• So when a nation begins to magnify women they are magnifying man's glory, not God's glory.
• That's the beginning of the end.
• The surest sign in the world that this country is going to pot is to look around at the glorying of the woman going on in this country.
• You don't have to be told - just look around - magazines, billboards, signs, women outside the home, legal positions and laws, etc. all geared for the women.
• The woman is the glory of the man.
• So when the woman is magnified, that is man bragging on his own glory, not God's glory.
• Note that when Paul wants to affirm the Scripture authority of the man over the woman, he does not go back to the curse placed on Eve in Genesis 3:16.
• Instead, he goes back to Genesis 2...
• ...to the original order and purpose of creation:
• Adam first, then Eve vs 8 - For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man;
• Eve for Adam, not Adam for Eve - vs 9 - Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
• Man's authority over the woman does not begin with the result of the curse.
• So any modern, 'Christian' feminist, who thinks that salvation is going to make her equal with her man by conquering the 'curse' is wrong.
• If a man does not rule his house, he will ruin it.
