THE FIRST ‘WOMEN’S LIBER’?
.
And speaking of women’s liberation, just who was the first ‘Women’s Liber’?
.
Well, there are the obvious names.
.
And even among the Hollywood crowd, this very popular movement has its own list of women’s rights champions!

EVE, THE VERY FIRST WOMEN’S LIBER!
.
But to find the very first ‘Women’s Liber’, we would have to go all the way back to the very first woman, Eve.
.
That’s right, it was Eve who boldly asserted herself to elevate her station in life.
.
Listen to Genesis 3:4, 5, 6…
“And the serpent said unto the woman,
Ye shall not surely die…
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree was…
to be desired to make one wise…”
(Condensed)
.
Here is revealed that Eve had already become dissatisfied with her appointed position in life!
She wanted equality with God!
.
.
.
Fast-forward thousands of years since that fatal mistake.
.
We are now witnessing a rise of the Matriarchy, or at least the attempt to become a world dominated by women.
.
Yes, after thousands of years of women allowing men to run the world, there has been a powerful shift taking place. Women have moved in to replace the Patriarchy: in government, in jobs, and even in sports (which hasn’t turned out so well).
.
So, as that saying goes, “How’s this all working out for you?”
.
God did not design men and women the same, in many ways.
.
Men were designed to be the providers, the protectors, the leaders and priests of the home and community.
.
Women, on the other hand, were made to be, “a Helpmate”.
.
In other words, women weren’t designed to build the roads, or the buildings, or to run the government, etc…
.
No, just the opposite!
.
The woman was created by God to be man’s companion…the softer and fairer gender. The woman was made to be the mother…the nurturer…the homemaker.
.
And so, just as God has permitted mankind to experiment with various philosophies, religions, governments, hobbies, inventions, so He is allowing Eve’s dream to come true!
.
The problem is, that just as every other experiment which mankind has sought after, failure has been the eventual outcome.
.
Even now, society is discovering that to allow men to compete with women in sports has led to disastrous and even tragic results!
.
And because women were designed to be nurturers and comforters, they have caused great harm as government, religious, and business leaders.
.
Oh yes, many women are capable leaders. But overall, the vast percentage of women are too emotional to run the world. Their innate sense of mercy and compassion have caused many bad decisions to be made.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”
Proverbs 25:25
.
But the Good News is, that today is still the Day of Salvation!
.
And all those who desire to live forever in a Land in which everyone will enjoy an exalted station in life, in the earth-made-new!
.
And all are invited to join this end-time exodus out of this sad Babylonian world of confusion and begin the upward ascendancy toward that wonderful and happy Promised Land!
.
And doesn’t this “sad ol’ world” just keep getting sadder with each passing day?
.
But the New Heaven and New Earth will be a wonderful place filled with laughter, and singing, and joy, and peace!
And in that Promised Land, we will truly be…forever young!

“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.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing,
if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
1st Timothy 2:11-15

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
.
“And there appeared a great wonder (sign) in heaven; a woman…
.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness”
.
Revelation 12:1, 14

FLEEING WOMAN OF REVELATION 12…
.
.
This page is about the Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major ).
.
However, the ancient pagan cultures did not see this constellation as God intended it to be seen.
.
It is actually a headless woman in childbirth.
.
This is seen in springtime in the northern skies.
.
But as the seasons progress, this travailing woman flips upside down, now appearing as a woman with upraised arms like eagle wings who is running (eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right) into the wilderness (westward).
.
The single star representing her birth-child (Christ) now becomes her head (“Christ is the head of the church.” Ephesians 5:23
.
The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars. But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights.
.
These are star charts from Wikipedia, with sketches of the Woman added.
