Who should leave home: The man or the woman?
*Gen 2:24 - Therefore shall an Ish leave his abba
and his eema and shall be joined to his Isha: and they shall be basar echad.*
In proper terms, Therefore shall a man LEAVE (forfeit, become an entity, refuse) his father and his mother and shall CLEAVE (overtake, keep, take) to his woman: and they shall be one(kindred) flesh(penis, nakedness, self).
Marriage is not spiritual but people involved in
it have spirits. If the man (not the woman) is supposed to leave his parents,
yet spinsters today will argue from the perspective of workplace and logistics
claim they got married after leaving their parent's house to stay alone.
It is an aberration from the divine design that
women today marry at ages well beyond what is recommended in Scripture. A
woman's time under her parents' guidance should suffice to prepare her for
marriage.
While the verse about a man leaving his parents
is oft-quoted, there is a deafening silence about where the prospective wife
should properly reside beforehand. This implies an unscriptural notion that a
woman should aimlessly drift, awaiting her husband's claim. The reality is a
man gains life experience, but this privilege is not extended to women.
The Creator's pattern calls for a woman to
transition from her father's covering to her husband's covering in the prime of
her youth. Delaying this transfer until the latter seasons of womanhood
contravenes Heaven's expressed desire for women to be wives and mothers in
their most fertile and vibrant years.
By disregarding the divine timeline, the modern
paradigm robs young women of spiritual covering and traps men in extended years
of unmet desire. This undercuts Yahweh's wisdom concerning the periods He
optimally fashioned for marriage, bearing children, and establishing a
multigenerational legacy.
Restoring the primacy of marrying at the
biblically ideal ages would return societal strength and stability. Young women
would bloom within their designed spiritual covering. Young men could invest
their productive energy into family callings. Children could experience the
blessing of grandparents while the elders yet live. This realignment with
Yahweh's antiquated pattern remains the path to a family’s growth and development.
*Isa 4:1- AND in that day seven women shall take
hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel:
only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.*
Isaiah's prophecy provides
striking clarity on the modern phenomenon of independent, self-sufficient women
living apart from their parents. The "seven women" referenced
represent those who have deviated from the divine, scriptural standard.
According to Yahweh's order, only men are
intended to leave their parents' homes and gain exposure to the world before
taking a wife who remained under her father's covering, awaiting her husband's
claim.
The very existence of these "seven
women" who appeal to "one man" to simply take away their
reproach confirms it is anomalous for unwed women to be self-sufficient
spinsters living independently.
This describes nothing less than women who have
overextended their season of preparation by lingering too long unattached from
proper covering.
When women prematurely embrace independence
contrary to Yahweh's created design, it facilitates their being passed over by
men who should have claimed them earlier per Heaven's plan. Only by a return to
scriptural patterns - men going out to prospectively take wives still under
their fathers' authorities - can this reproachful condition be remedied.
This prophecy serves as a sobering rebuke to
cultures which have normalized spiritual unaccountability through the proliferation
of financially autonomous, long-unmarried women improperly situated outside of
covenant covering.
