MYSTERY OF WOMANKIND

1. WOMANKIND is God’s SECRET WEAPON, hid in Adam; there is no representation of WOMANKIND in heaven, “For when they shall rise from the dead, they NEITHER MARRY, NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE; but are as the ANGELS which are in heaven” [Mark 12:25] God foreknew the agenda of Satan, in His WISDOM formed WOMAN and hid her in the MAN until time appointed. It is no surprise SIN came through the Eve, for through the WOMAN, God ordained victory over the adversary, as it is written: “And I will put ENMITY BETWEEN THEE and the WOMAN, and between thy seed and HER SEED; it shall BRUISE THY HEAD, and thou shalt bruise his heel” [Genesis 3:15] God prescribed MARRIAGE, joining of MAN to his WOMAN in ONE FLESH, as SIGN of the PROMISE of SALVATION through Jesus Christ. God came to us in Jesus Christ through the WOMAN, and is the SAVIOUR of those who receive Him as the REDEEMER. We are JOINED to Christ, as a MAN is JOINED to his WIFE; it is a MYSTERY, “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they TWO shall be ONE FLESH. This is a GREAT MYSTERY: but I speak concerning CHRIST and the CHURCH” [Ephesians 5:31-32]

2. As the WOMAN was hid in Adam, so were we in God before the foundation of the world “According as he hath CHOSEN US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” [Ephesians 1:4] Listen well, God put Adam to SLEEP before He pulled the woman out, but not Satan. No matter how well you think you know WOMANKIND, Satan knows her better, “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” [Genesis 2:21] No wonder, Satan went after the WOMAN in Eden and through her, SIN and DEATH came into the world, as it is written: “And Adam was not deceived, but the WOMAN BEING DECEIVED was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be SAVED in CHILDBEARING, if they CONTINUE in FAITH and CHARITY and HOLINESS with SOBRIETY” [1 Timothy 2:14-15] Through “CHILDBEARING”, SALVATION came into the world; Mary conceived of the Holy Ghost and brought forth Jesus Christ [Luke 1:35]  As pertain to “CHILDBEARING”, the WOMAN symbolize the CHURCH; first, as channel through which Christ came and second, as congregation of SOULS in who the Holy Ghost dwells until we are “CONFORMED” to the image of the SON “For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did predestinate to be CONFORMED to the IMAGE of HIS SON, that he might be the FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN” [Romans 8:29] 

3. MARRIAGE between MAN and WOMAN, illustrate the relationship between Christ and His Church, “For the HUSBAND is the HEAD OF THE WIFE, even as CHRIST is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH: and he is the saviour of the body” [Ephesians 5:23-24] As the rest of the body supports the HEAD, so was the WOMAN made as “HELP MEET” and more so the Church, to RECONCILE us with God through Jesus Christ [Genesis 2:18] WOMAN was made SUBJECT to her HUSBAND, as it is required of the Church to SUBMIT to Christ as BRIDE to her BRIDEGROOM, “Therefore as the CHURCH IS SUBJECT UNTO CHRIST, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing”  [ Ephesians 5: 24] The BRIDE is to Christ, not by force but by the working of LOVE, as Christ LOVED us and gave His LIFE for us, therefore, “Husbands, LOVE YOUR WIVES, even as CHRIST also LOVED the CHURCH” [Ephesians 5:25] We are the BRIDE of Christ, because He first LOVED us; the Church of the LIVING GOD, not by affiliation to any denomination, but by OBEDIENCE to His COMMANDMENTS, the “… CHURCH of the FIRSTBORN, which are WRITTEN IN HEAVEN, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect” [Hebrews 12:23] We are the BRIDE of the Lord, whose names are written in heaven, the Church of the FIRSTBORN. Alas, there is another WOMAN; a MASQUERADE and IMPOSTOR, as it is written: “… I saw a WOMAN sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of NAMES OF BLASPHEMY, having seven heads and ten horns” [Revelation 17:3]

4. We are the BRIDE of Christ, His Church on earth, not built of men with bricks and glass but of the Lord who called us by name and “… as LIVELY STONES, are built up a SPIRITUAL HOUSE, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, ACCEPTABLE to God by Jesus Christ” [1 Peter 2:5] Let us at all times be mindful of the other WOMAN, the “MOTHER OF HARLOTS” and her “ABOMINATIONS”, “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” [Revelation 17:5] As we came out of Christ, so is she fashioned after the likeness of Satan and POLLUTES the world with FALSE RELIGION. She has on her head, “NAMES OF BLASPHEMY by which multitudes are lured to perdition, thinking they are serving God [John 16:2] Beloved, be ye therefore, WISE; the BRIDE is ONE BODY not many, united by FAITH in the REVELATION of God manifest in Jesus Christ, “For by one Spirit are we all BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” [1 Corinthians 12:13] As ONE BODY, we shall be TRANSLATED at the appearance of Jesus Christ, therefore, examine yourself whether ye be in the CHURCH or BABYLON, “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” [Revelation 18:4]

5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior amen
