Plague of Women III: Standing up
“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression”
(1
Timothy
2:8-14)
Plague
of Women, Part I
Plague of Women, Part II
April 27, 2004 – You are probably surprised that I was even willing
to entertain writing a 3rd part to this series, after the
vicious and wicked attacks I sustained after writing the first 2
parts. They still accuse me of hating women and of being a bigot
and a chauvinist. Are you surprised? Did you think I could attack
a part of the Antichrist’s system of control and NOT be branded a
hater? Of course they say I hate women… telling the truth is always
considered hate in this modern culture. The full truth is that I
love women. I love women enough to tell them the truth. I love
God’s creatures enough to show them a picture of God’s perfect way;
His perfect order. What greater love is there, than that a man
would submit himself to be slandered and murdered for his desire to
love and correct those who are in error?
God’s infinite and eternal wisdom is displayed before all sentient,
created beings through the brilliant order and structure of the
creation. The order that is evident in Heaven and Earth bears
witness to God’s character, His wisdom, His perfection, and the
glory that is due Him. Get this straight…
·
God’s order is an evident sign of redemption, grace, mercy, and the
out-working of the Spirit of God.
·
Disorder is a sign of darkness, the fall, evil, wickedness, imminent
destruction and rebellion against the working of God.
God is not impressed with the reasoning power of mankind. God does
not accept rationalization in the place of absolute obedience.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding”
(Proverbs 3:5)
To “trust in the Lord with all thine heart” is to reject our own
understanding and reasoning in favor of the plain teaching of the
Word of God. The reason that we find within the Word of God is not
“unreasonable”, rather it is wise and prudent, and it is life and
health to our bones and to our spiritual well-being.
ORDER 101
Adam was formed by the Hand of God out of the dust of the earth
before there was a concept of “woman” or “wife”. The purpose for
all things can be found in their creation. Adam was first formed,
and God breathed into him the breath of life. Adam was placed into
the Garden of Eden, and, in the words of John Gill:
“he was put into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and all creatures
were brought to him, to give them names; and still an help meet or a
companion was not found for him. All this while Eve was not as yet
formed, but after this… she was formed out of him, was made out of
one of his ribs; and was formed for him, for his use, service, help
and comfort” (John Gill Commentary)
The purpose of Eve exists only in the perfection of Adam. There was
not found a HELP MEET for him in the animal kingdom. No help was
satisfactory for him in the plant kingdom. In all the Creation
there was not found a companion acceptable to him. But notice that
the woman was created solely for the purpose of helping and
completing the man; she was designed BEFORE THE FALL to help him and
to serve him, as Gill says:
“because
she was made out of him, and made for him… So that the woman's
subjection to the man is according to the laws of nature and
creation; and was antecedent to the fall; and would have been, if
that had never been; though that brought her into a lower, and
meaner, and more depressed estate”
(John Gill Commentary)
Remember that the eternal wisdom of God is displayed in the order
and structure of the creation:
“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead” (Romans
1:20).
Do you actually realize that God’s eternal power and Godhead are
made evident in the structure that He has ordained, and therefore we
can state unequivocally that He is defamed and blasphemed; His glory
before men is marred and His character slandered when His perfect
order is ignored, and when rebellion is allowed to continue? Do you
thirst and hunger to see the full Glory of God made manifest? Are
you willing to see and understand His eternal power and Godhead
while still on this earth? The Apostle promises that the invisible
things of God are CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the perfect
order and purpose of that which was made.
In part 1 of this series I discussed the reality of the curse placed
upon the woman in the Garden of Eden, but we should also recognize
that the curse did not change the authority structure or the perfect
order that God created before the fall. The curse involved the
woman’s desire to rule over her husband, a desire that did
not exist before the fall. Remember, in our previous discussions on
right doctrine we learned that the fall perverted the desires and
proclivities of mankind. It is not that depraved mankind does not
have the biological ability to will to do good; it is that he has
the moral inability to choose good outside of God’s working
IN him on man’s behalf. So we see that the result of the
transgression of Eve in the Garden is that, outside of the inward
working of the Spirit of God on her volitions, the woman cannot help
but desire (whether consciously or unconsciously) to bear rule over
men.
I have always stated that the woman was designed to be a help meet
for the man; and that whenever she, by the move of the Holy Spirit,
serves properly in this honorable office she should be honored,
cherished, served and protected. But I must sadly report that
today, such is rarely the case.
God has been pleased (in order to work out His perfect will on the
planet) in a most general sense, to thwart the fallen desire of Eve
to bear absolute rule over mankind for most of History, though He
has allowed (for the purpose of cursing the man and for chastising
him) the man to be increasingly subjugated to the will and power of
the woman. As time progresses from the Garden of Eden towards the
ultimate judgment of the nations, Eve has increasingly gained power,
and it is this area that I desire to discuss with you in this
teaching.
FEMINIZED CHRISTIANITY
As modern “christianity” has increasingly apostatized, it has
equally been feminized. As it westernized, it also liberalized.
The modern “christian’ man is no more masculine than the primitive
woman. As the man came to reject the teachings of the Bible
concerning proper male/female roles, he ignorantly began to adopt a
mentality and a worldview that subjugated him to his own carnal
lusts.
We should note that the devil offered Jesus all the carnal kingdoms
of the world, but Jesus rejected them because He was a complete
master over SELF; He was a master over sin; a master over lust. But
the devil has made the modern man a slave to the kingdoms of this
world, by making him a slave to self; a slave to sin; a slave to
lust. Jesus, as Master and King over all the Creation, rejected a
temporal, carnal Kingdom… He said, “My kingdom is not of this
world” (John 18:36). Mankind, designed by God to rule and reign
over the created world, sinks deeper and deeper into the dust of the
earth from whence he was formed, because he cannot even reign over
himself.
A simple use of reason, logic, and the scripture shows that the man
was designed to benevolently rule over all of Creation:
·
over the woman as his help meet,
·
over animals and plants as a husbandman and caretaker,
·
and over the kingdoms of this world as one commanded to spread out
over the face of the earth and subdue it.
But man will not rule as he supposed to, because he is fallen,
deceived, weak and totally ruled over by his own stupid lusts. From
the very dawn of Antiquity, the devil has not had to beguile (or
deceive) mankind out of his crown, for that serpent has successfully
beguiled the woman into using her own wiles against the object of
the devils envy, enmity and hatred. Do not forget that the serpent
was cursed to go along on his belly and to eat dust all the days of
his life. Let us take a quick historical scan at male/female roles
in mankind’s sad history, and we will see how far man himself has
sunk back into the dust.
SEXUAL ENTROPY
In his most primitive state, before the fall, man was pleased to
have one wife; a wife who served him and helped him and who (so long
as she remained away from temptation) obeyed and reverenced him.
The evil slide towards our current state of sexual inversion and
perversion has gained speed the farther mankind gets from the
garden. In God’s earliest sexual economy, the woman was raised with
the earnest desire to be given to a Godly man as a wife. The
competition was fierce, and a woman was trained by her mother and
her sisters from an early age how to be pleasing and to be of
service to a good and Godly man. The woman’s parents were quite
often willing to load a good man down with many gifts of money,
cattle and land in order to find a good husband for their
daughters. Since woman were expected to be clothed modestly, and a
good and Godly woman would never dress like or play the role of the
harlot, men were able to reasonably seek out a woman who would have
all the proper attributes of a good wife, without the temptation and
lust brought about by improper dress and behavior. Women were the
pursuers. Women wanted a Godly relationship more than anything in
the world. We even see that the wives of Jacob were willing to pay
for the right to have the Patriarch come into their tents (Gen.
30:16)! How have things changed! Who is it that rules in sexual
politics, even within marriage today? Do you see where God’s plan
has been inverted? Do you see the perversion that results from
straying from God’s right paths?
As society slouched towards destruction, the woman was again
beguiled by the devil, and she allowed herself to be sold into
harlotry and fornication for the sake of power. Very early on, the
devil recognized that the very trick that would abjectly fail when
tried on the second Adam, Jesus Christ (trading the future for the
lust of the eyes and of the flesh), would work just fine on the
progeny of the first Adam. Through the workings of a corrupt
culture and of a broken and fragmented secular worldview, man could
be convinced to disobey God in favor of the woman. Note that the
Apostle says that Adam WAS NOT DECEIVED, as the scripture says, “And
Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression”. Adam willfully disobeyed God in order to be
pleasing to his wife, and to join her in her rebellion. Let me say
it again, ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED. Adam knew what he was doing was
wrong… listen to what John Calvin had to say about Adam’s roll in
the fall:
“…no excuse was left to him who had obeyed his wife rather than God;
yea, had despised God for the sake of his wife, placing so much
confidence in the fallacies of Satan, -- whose messenger and servant
she was, -- that he did not hesitate perfidiously to deny his
Maker.”
(Calvin’s Commentaries, Vol. 1, page 172)
There is no reason to believe that Adam was moved by any innate
inclination towards rebellion, or that his mind was captured by
either Eve or the devil. Adam was moved according to the working of
his own will, and according to the decision reached in his own mind,
to join his wife in her rebellion; and there is no reason to believe
that today, in our wicked and perverse generation, that man does not
also CHOOSE to reject the wisdom and teaching of the Bible, when he
chooses to rebel against the plain word of God by having a woman
rule over him… and this because of his inability to control his own
lusts. Oh yes, man does have a choice; no right-minded Calvinist or
adherent to the Doctrines of Grace would ever deny man his choice.
But we strongly deny that fallen man has the ability to
choose that which is good; he cannot choose the right way, lest the
Holy Spirit of God is pleased to dwell in him, and unless he is
given over to the Spirit in obedience, and unless God is pleased to
strengthen his backbone so that he might stand against the flood of
rebellion and wickedness that overflows this generation.
“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: But every
man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when
it is finished, bringeth forth death”
(James 1:13-15)
You will notice that the Apostle James uses the same verbiage as
does Moses in his recitation of the events of the Garden of Eden.
Every man is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. The loss of
power (and then of life) starts with the lust within a man.
SEXUAL POLITICS
The woman learned very early that she could gain power based on how
she marketed herself. Although the Book of Enoch is an apocryphal
book and is not considered by Protestants to be authoritative canon
as is the Holy Bible, it is evidently a valuable historical work,
since we see that the early church and the Apostles quoted heavily
from it. According to the book of Enoch, rebellious angels were
used by the devil to instruct humans in the arts of witchcraft and
sorcery. These same wicked angels gave man the technology of
metallurgy (for weapons and for jewelry) and encouraged the women to
paint themselves with makeup and other artifices designed to seduce
men, which brought God's wrath upon them. Do these facts of history
remove man’s responsibility? Is man going to be forgiven his
rebellion, merely because he was seduced and allured by angels and
women? No.
A BLUNT MESSAGE TO MEN
You men were designed by God to benevolently rule the Creation.
You were designed to first; rule yourselves, your lust, your
covetousness and your behavior; then, having properly ruled your own
lust, you were designed to benevolently rule over that which God has
placed under you. However, your lust has enslaved you. Your
unwillingness to abstain from your sexual desires has made you into
a lower animal, a mere beast, rather than a man. Your beastly
behavior has robbed you of your birthright, your honor, your power
and your authority. You cannot stand on your own two feet because
you have become a dog and not a man. I speak to you as a dog
because you have become a dog. No dog is fit to rule God’s
creation, and neither will any dog inherit the Kingdom designed for
redeemed men from the foundation of the world. Your life is
miserable and your culture is fallen because YOU cannot control
yourself. Just once let God’s servants take control over their
sexual behavior, and they will also once again be seated properly on
the throne that God has provided for them. If you are a Christian,
God has called you a King and a Priest of the Most High God, but you
are only a King if you have properly ruled yourself. You are only a
King if your subjects do not rule over you. You are only a King if
you have not bought the “50-50” power-sharing lie. You are a King
when you benevolently and Biblically rule over that which God has
given you. Until such time as you rise up and put off your beastly
behavior, you will be nothing but a slave, and the worst kind of
slave at that, a slave to a woman who evidently has no respect for
you… only disdain.
A VAGINA DIALOGUE
I hate to use offensive verbiage, but it is necessary and no worse
than that vocabulary that spills forward from the modern culture…
that same culture that has used the sexuality of a woman to enslave
men. The wicked and ungodly worship of women, of sex, of harlotry
has turned the man into an animal, and it is to these men that I
address this rebuke. Your father, Adam, put a woman before God and
lost everything he was given and brought death upon all men. Can
you not see that this is the same wickedness that prevails in your
culture, in your worldview and even in your homes? Ask yourself why
God uses the shadow-picture of the woman as the fulfillment of all
that entraps and seduces man? Why, you have become a dog and you
don’t even know it! Let me speak plainly to you for awhile; maybe I
can talk some sense into you.
You men out there who call yourselves “christian”, I’m speaking to
you. Why do you learn the ways of male/female relationships from
the world? Why do you partake of ungodly and unbiblical mating
rituals like “dating” and “going out”, when the Bible knows nothing
of these concoctions? Why do you put your hands on Canaanite
women? Why do you take them to yourselves as wives? Why do you
look on them with lust instead of scorn and derision? Is not the
Holy Spirit of God within you? Has God not asked you to come out
from among HER and be ye separate? Isn’t the admonition to abstain
from ungodly women throughout all of scripture? I don’t have to
scold and rebuke women to ask them to quit dressing like whores and
seducers; why, if you men would refuse to play their game, if you
would refuse to look upon them except with sadness and pity… they
would soon have to change their tune AND their clothing. Yes, it is
true that women even dress inappropriately and immodestly in
churches and in home groups. Yes, it is true that they often dress
like the Canaanite women and unbelievers. Why should you be
shocked? Where are their leaders? Where is their head? You will
not lead them because you are too busy sniffing around them as if
you were a dog in heat. You follow them wherever they go. Is there
any doubt that they will lead you around by the nose if you act like
a base beast? Stand up on your feet man! You’ve been enslaved by a
silly chemical release in your brain. You’ve been enslaved by a
physical act that has no eternal benefit to you. You look down in
disdain at crack addicts and coke-heads, while you slither around in
the dust of the earth for a chemical release that isn’t any
different. You think you have to have sex? You think you have to
have a woman’s attention in order to function? You are under a
curse, man! I will tell you this… The day you stand up on your feet
and act like a Godly man, you will find that God will lift that part
of the curse off of you.
RECIPES FOR DISASTER
A recipe for disaster for unmarried men:
You go out there and search for a woman. You want one that looks
good first, and everything else is subordinated to physical
attributes (the one thing the woman herself had nothing to do with).
You are too ignorant to know that a woman is trained to hide her
flaws with the right clothing and makeup, and to hide her mental and
spiritual flaws insider her bosom until AFTER it is too late for
you. You look everywhere until you find one who fits your carnal
criteria, AND who also pays attention to you. You “fall in love”
(there’s something the Bible knows nothing of). You get married,
hoping God will turn her into a Godly woman after the fact. You are
a chump! Look around you. Look at the divorce rate within the
so-called “church”. Now you have yourself a Canaanite wife, a
contentious woman as your “better half”, and you did it all because
you were a slave to your desire for sex.
A recipe for disaster for married men:
Ok, you married her – and you still kind of like her, but your
pretty certain she isn’t going to go for this “Biblical headship”
thing, even though you pray that she will. But you try to sell it
to her anyway. Maybe (every once in awhile) a woman will admit
she’s been a little too controlling, but of course she has had to,
since you weren’t a proper Biblical man. She will remind you that
you weren’t Prophet, Priest and King in your family, so she has had
to be those things. She will remind you of your other faults too,
and will constantly bring your failings before your face. Now the
talk of Biblical headship is (at least) out in the open. She tells
you she wants to be a submissive wife, and by God she will be one as
soon as you get your act in order! You are a chump! You campaigned
for headship, you politicked for it, you even begged for it – but
why won’t she give it to you?
Here are the facts:
God has never asked you to be the head over your wife, nor
has he asked you to be Prophet, Priest and King in your
family. He commanded these things, He didn’t suggest
them. I have heard from dozens of men who, after reading the first
two parts of this series, wrote me to complain that their wives will
not submit to them. Even worse, I hear from men who make excuses
for their rebellious wives… they defend rebellion, an act which the
Bible considers worse than rebellion itself – But God is not mocked.
First, let’s look at the Old Testament shadow of this wickedness and
it’s solution… then we will look at what a man should do TODAY:
“And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered
and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have
taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope
in Israel concerning this thing. Now therefore let us make a
covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are
born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that
tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according
to the law”
(Ezra 10:2-3)
In the Old Testament economy, the wickedness of taking rebellious
Canaanite wives was only remedied by the putting away of those
wives. Throughout the Old Testament, God likens wicked/strange
wives to idols and to idolatry, and the cleansing of the land is
always begun by the cleansing away of idols and of strange wives.
So… should a Christian man today put away his rebellious wife? No.
If he handles the situation Biblically, he will not have to.
The cleansing of our nation (the Nation of True Christians) will
come in several stages, and each stage will consist of a couple of
steps. But first let me give a message to the unmarried men out
there.
Let me say that if you are an unmarried Christian man, you have the
obligation (now that you have heard the truth) to reject and
separate from the wicked/Canaanite women and the culture that they
run. Here’s a test for you… if you are already in a relationship
with a woman, read her the first 3 parts of this Plague of Woman
series. If she rejects it, then you have yourself a Canaanite
woman. Put her away from you. Next, commit yourself to God that
you might be a Biblical man. Stand up on your feet and get off of
your knees. Quit walking around like a dog on all fours. Commit to
yourself that if God will not bring you the perfect Godly
woman for you, then you will be willing to give yourself over to Him
as a priest, undefiled by women. If you will be a Godly man, then
you must be willing to sacrifice. I must believe that if you were
designed by God to have a wife, then that same omniscient,
all-powerful and good God will provide you a Godly wife in His own
time. Learn to eschew the ways of the world. Put the thought of
“dating” and “going out” far from you. When you see a woman arrayed
as a harlot in the way, then you should look on her in sadness and
not in lust. You should be desirous to teach women, and not to run
after them like a slave. You should be willing to teach other men,
so that they do not continue to encourage the ways that our culture
teaches women to enslave us. Every man who hears this and believes
it should be willing to tell 10 more men the truth about the
situation. Men naturally know it is true. They KNOW it is true.
So, here is the Godly way of dealing with the plague that is cursing
our land.
STAGE ONE
Step 1 – Education. We should educate ourselves, our children and
our wives about the proper male/female roles. We should be firm and
salutary. We are not offering a new “choice”; we are offering the
only medicine that will heal us and our people. If a man has a
rebellious wife, he should, in a caring and loving way, present
surrender terms to her. He should assure her that he is not willing
to divorce her, but that he is also not willing to continue to live
his life in an ungodly way. This situation WILL get fixed, one way
or another.
Step 2 – Proper Discipline. A man should first discipline himself.
He needs to know what is and what is not acceptable behavior. He
should lead with gentleness and kindness, but he should be willing
to be as firm as is necessary. A man should be fully submitted to
Jesus Christ as His head, so that He can properly model headship to
His wife. Just as I am not permitted to raise my voice at Christ;
just as I am not permitted to have emotional fits when I don’t get
what I want; just as I am expected to reverence and honor Christ in
all my words and deeds – so is a woman to model this behavior
towards her husband. It is never acceptable for a Christian woman
to fight with her husband, to raise her voice at him, to insist on
her way, or to utilize manipulation tactics in order to affect
changes in him. We should recognize that EVERY rebellion is
punished. God will not let his honor be sullied or his beautiful
order to be stained without maximum retribution. In Ephesians 5:33,
man is commanded to LOVE his wife. The love spoken of here is AGAPE
love, or the love of service. He is to serve her best interest no
matter what it costs him and no matter what it costs her. It is the
ultimate in love to protect a wife from the vengeance and curse of
God by training and disciplining her according to the scriptures.
In the same verse, the woman is commanded to REVERENCE her husband.
Please take note of this. Reverence is something that is due to
God. So a woman is to serve and honor her husband as if he were
Christ to her. Not to worship and pray to him, but to serve and
honor him. Women, you are to REVERE your husbands. Men, NEVER,
EVER, EVER placate or enable the rebellion in your wives by giving
in to them. You will be responsible for her in judgment; do not do
her a disservice by following her into sin and rebellion.
Step 3 – Separation. Be willing to separate from all ungodliness.
If your wives friends (or her mother-in-law) are a source of
rebellion, then they have got to go. If your wife is imbibing
rebellion from TV, movies or the radio, then they have got to go.
If you will live as a man, then you must be willing to rule and
reign in your house and in the lives of your loved ones. To rule is
not easy. The crown weighs heavy on the head of a King. A
benevolent King is merciful and full of Grace, but NO Godly King
will ever countenance rebellion. EVER. Refuse to participate in
any activity wherein women are given authority over men. No woman,
according to the scriptures, is called upon to preach or teach.
Refuse completely to hear or to acknowledge improper authority by
women. Separation is the command of God… never forget it.
STAGE 2
Step 1 – But what if she won’t go along with it? What if she
rejects the whole idea as “male dominance” and as “chauvinism”?
Well if this is true, then it is impossible that the Holy Spirit of
God dwells in her. She is a Canaanite woman. Time for Stage 2:
“It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a
brawling woman in a wide house”
(Proverbs 21:9).
You will also find this gem of wisdom in Proverbs 25:24. It was
such an important instruction that God repeated it twice. If she’s
a rebel, you may not be authorized to divorce her, but you certainly
shouldn’t obey her or bow to her. It would be better that you stay
as far away as possible from her. You certainly shouldn’t have
sexual relations or procreate with her. In the Bible, a Godly man
may be said to “hate” his wife. This “hate” was not a burning anger
or rage; rather it was a disregard for her. You can only love your
wife by serving her according to God’s proscribed ways. If she will
not be loved by you, then you must disregard her. Do not give your
power unto her, lest you be cursed.
“Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which
destroyeth kings”
(Proverbs 31:3).
Step 2 – Ok, I tried all that, but she still won’t give way
“It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious
and an angry woman”
(Proverbs 21:19).
You may not be authorized to put away your evil wife, but neither
are you commanded to live with and support that rebel. Here is what
the great commentator and expositor Matthew Henry had to say:
“It is better to have no company than bad company. The wife of thy
covenant is thy companion, and yet, if she be peevish and provoking,
it is better to dwell in a solitary wilderness, exposed to wind and
weather, than in company with her. A man may better enjoy God and
himself in a wilderness than among quarrelsome relations and
neighbours.”
Your first move should be to the corner of the housetop, but your
next move should be to the wilderness. If the woman is still
pleased to stay married to you, then you should live a life of
abstinence and separation; but, according to the Apostle Paul, if
she chooses to go out from you and leave you, then you are free:
“But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a
sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to
peace”
(1 Corinthians
7:15)
Within the bounds of Christian marriage (two truly believing
spouses) there is no place for separation or divorce, as Christ
Himself taught. But here Paul gives advice to those who are
unequally yoked. Here is what Matthew Henry says of such a case:
“yet if the unbelieving relative desert the believer, and no means
can reconcile to a cohabitation, in such a case a brother or sister
is not in bondage (1Co_7:15), not tied up to the unreasonable
humour, and bound servilely to follow or cleave to the malicious
deserter, or not bound to live unmarried after all proper means for
reconciliation have been tried, at least of the deserter contract
another marriage or be guilty of adultery, which was a very easy
supposition, because a very common instance among the heathen
inhabitants of Corinth. In such a case the deserted person must be
free to marry again, and it is granted on all hands.”
Here is what Dr. Gill advises from these scriptures:
“a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases.
The Ethiopic version reads it, "to such an one"; one that is called
by grace a church member, and so a brother or sister in Christ, is
not to be subject to an unbeliever in matters of conscience, in
things appertaining to the worship of God, and the service and glory
of Christ; nor, being in such circumstances, that either Christ must
be forsaken, or the unbeliever will depart, are they obliged to
yield to such an one, but rather suffer a departure; nor are they
bound to remain unmarried, but are free to marry another person,
after all proper methods have been tried for a reconciliation.”
There is no doubt that for a man to deny the command of God and to
give his strength and power to a woman is to deny God and to be in
rebellion to Him. For a woman to require that a man live as less
than a man in order for Him to have some type of peace is for her to
require that He deny Christ in order to keep her.
STAGE 3
Retaking Zion. It is our goal, if the Lord be pleased to allow us,
to teach this truth wherever God will open a door to us. Stage 3
involves a massive movement of all of God’s true children toward the
cleansing of the land. We do not vainly hope that God will stay His
hand of judgment against this perverse and wicked generation, but we
do hope and pray that God’s sheep will not also fall under the rod
of chastisement for their own wickedness and rebellion. I say to
you men of God that you must stand on your feet. You must do what
is required of you.
You men know that I am telling you the truth. You know that the
Gospel has been perverted by Romanists and false prophets, and that
those same evil doers are behind the scenes pushing the Plague of
Women into every household in the land. You know that open warfare
is necessary, yet you hesitate. The men of this land have been
subjugated by sexual politics and power. Their own lusts have led
them into wickedness and shame. Their princes have become revolters
and they are led around by the nose by harlots and whores. It is
time for a new Puritanism among God’s people. If you men are not
willing to reign in and to put down your carnal lusts, then you will
continue to be reigned over by the enemies of God.
You must remember that it is for God’s honor and glory that we
fight. God is known by his perfect structure and order. His
character is made know to the Creation by what He has made. This is
not a battle to regain power and authority for its own sake. This
battle is for the Glory of God.
Confess where you have failed. Stand up on your two feet and quit
bowing down and lying down. You were called to be a King who serves
under the King of Kings. You were called to benevolent rule. You
were called to spread out over the land and subdue it. Often the
land must be subdued by force before it can be gently tilled and it
yields its crops in due season. Then, and only then, can that land
be nurtured, cared for and gently tended.
I ask that Godly women be served and honored; that they be put on a
pedestal and loved. I ask that God will bring our movement Godly
women, who desire to serve and reverence their husbands, and to obey
them as they would Christ. This is not hatred of women. It is love
for them.
We pray that this is only the beginning of our campaign, and that
the true men and women of God will join us as we engage in the
battle.
I am your servant in Christ Jesus,
Michael Bunker
