HEAD COVERINGS
INTRODUCTION TO THE VIRTUE OF A WOMAN:
This section covers the topic of women wearing head coverings. The numbers listed in between brackets are the numbers found in the Hebrew Lexicon Strong’s Concordance or the Greek Strong’s Concordance to help give a deeper/clearer understanding of what the original meanings of the words actually meant.
The concept of a head covering points to the spiritual blood covering provided through our Messiah. When the children of Yisrael were guided out of the land of Egypt, they were covered by the Most High by a cloud by day and fire by night.
The blood covering of our Messiah is the covering over His chosen who are apart of His body and His family.
A Woman is the embodiment of a Nation. She will represent her spirituality as that Symbol of Authority. She shows she belongs to the Most High; her and her house.
A spiritual, virtuous woman of dignity understands the implications and the importance of wearing a head covering.
She represents her love to her Greatest Master.
She symbolizes her nation and its ultimate authority.
And is considered a Queen with utmost respect and virtue
A Queen she sits with great representation
A Queen that carries characteristics of great honor
Humility, dignity, integrity and strength
Filled with a righteous pride, inside.
Her heart is filled with pure love, much greater than gold.
Her Honour surpasses her in all of her ways.
Where are all the Hebrew Queens at?
The ones who stand for righteousness?
Where are those Queens at who understands the importance of great virtue?
Where are those Queens shadowed with humility?
Are there any Queens left standing?
Again, is there a warrior Queen around left standing for her Nation?
We need more Queens who care to endure by her brother's side?
Are there any Queens who value Chastity?
Where are those Queen-like warriors who preparing alike for this Spritual battlefield?
Where are my dear Sisters who values and holds in high regard great passion and fervent desire for righteousness?
Because, you're being called forward this day.
It is time to make a stand.
It is time to take the Most High's hand.
It's time to go back into our Promised Land.
This cry is out to Yisra'el
Sisters show our virtue and our pride,
Let's all simply lead the way.
Serving in the Most High's power until the day we die.
Servitude to our Master
This narrow road we choose to ride.
TOPIC OF HEAD COVERINGS:
Sisters, what is the big fuss with wearing a head covering?
Is there someting wrong with wanting to cover your hair?
If that is the issue, then it would mean you have a desire to want to be seen.
A humble woman of virtue would see that is an act of vanity.
A woman who truly loves and serves the Mosth High knows that
Loveliness is deceptive and Prettiness is vain
A woman who fears the Most High is to be praised
(Proverbs 31:30)
This walk of life is about displaying back our love to the Most High for His Grace and Mercy that none of us deserve.
(Especially the Woman)
It is an Honor for a woman of virtue to cover her hair and her body, none-the-less.
She holds herself sacred as the Most High is sacred.
The head covering on a woman represents a symbol of authority
This authority refers to her husband who intercedes on her behalf
and it refers to the Messiah who intercedes on everyone's behalf
and refers to the Heavenly Father whom she has sinned against
Her covering of power protects her to this day
(1 Corinthians 11:10)
She is a woman who will always be praying and/or prophesying
In the grocery store, at the hospital, at work, at school, etc...
She is always in constant communication with the Most High
She is the strength of her family
The bond to a true nation
(1 Corinthians 11:5)
A vain and prideful woman who walks contrary to the righteous manner deserves to be shaven or ashamed.
(Isaiah 3:17)
Foolish cowards have no place in the Kingdom.
(Revelation 21:8)

INFORMATION
HEAD [2776] = Symbol of Authority, Chief, Supreme, Prominent, master, lord, husband in relation to the wife; Messiah is lord of the husband.
a. 1 Cor 11:3 – This verse states that the head of every husband is Messiah. The word ‘head’ is used to state that the “Figurative” authority of every man is Messiah.
b. Matt 5:36 – This verse describes the “Literal” use of the word ‘head’. Neither shall you swear by your head…cannot make one hair strand white or black.”
1 Corinthians 11:4 would read as, “Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
brings shame to his [“figurative” authority (Messiah)] – Head.
1 Corinthians 11:5 would read as, “And every woman praying or prophesying w/ her head uncovered brings
shame to her [“figurative” authority (Husband/Father/Brother)] – head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaven.
Being shaved (having a bald head) or being uncovered is equal to being ashamed.
COVERED [ 2596] = a preposition denoting motion or diffusion or direction from the higher to the lower.
*A man should not be covered when praying or prophesying.
Man was created in the likeness and image of the Most High.
He resembles the 1st Authority; having dominion
over the earth; stands in a position of authority
Terminology for Uncovering and Dishonour:
UNCOVERED [177] = Not Covered ; Unveiled
DISHONOR [2617] = To dishonor; disgrace; to bring or put to shame; to make ashamed; blush with shame
1 Cor 11:5-6 – A woman not covered (uncovered) brings dishonor and shame to her “figurative” head
(Father/Husband/Brother, whichever applicable).
Why is it a Dishonor for a woman to be uncovered?
~ Ahayah Asher Ahayah =
1st Originator/Creator of Life – Power and Authority
~ MAN is a symbol of Ahayah's power and authority –
created in the likeness and image of Ahayah Asher Ahayah
~ Yeshayah = 2nd Authority “THE WORD OF AHAYAH” – SUBJECT to Ahayah
~ WOMAN is SUBJECT to MAN as the 2nd authority – Just as Messiah is subject to Ahayah
**If the woman fails to cover herself, she is essentially saying that she (Yeshayah) is not in subjection to Ahayah, which is outside of His divine order. This is like blasphemy.
Man as the head is not to be ‘hidden’. He is to make known the Power and Authority of Ahayah.
A woman shows her subjection to Ahayah
(through her head which will be her covering in the Most High).
Women who are covered represent that subjection to Ahayah,
just as Messiah subjects to Ahayah.
Ephesians 5:22 – “Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Master (Messiah).
a. Women are to show the same subjection to their husbands as she would subject herself to the Messiah.
OUGHT [3784] = To owe; to owe money; to be in debt; debt for; due
a. Man is not in an “owing” state and does not require to be covered because of this.
b. Woman is in an “owing” state and she is required to be covered to represent this state.
She was the 1st to commit sin. The woman owes a debt.
c. 1 Cor 11:10 – “Because of this the woman OUGHT (OWES) to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the messengers (Angels).
d. Genesis 3:16 – “…And your desire is for your husband and he shall bear rule over you.”
Book Reference: “Jerusalem in a time of Jesus” – 1969 by Joachim Jeremias
a. “Yehudi women in the 1st century covered themselves and wore their head coverings at all times…in public, they covered their lower faces.”
Whenever a woman is in public, she owes a reminder or a token of debt of the woman’s act of sin committed first from the beginning; displayed in a state of humility and subjection.
ANGELS/MESSENGER [32] = a messenger; envoy; one who is sent; they are subject not only to Eyeh, but also to the Messiah.
a. 1 Cor 11:10 – The woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the messengers.
b. The concordance reads: “that she may show reverence for the angels, invisibly present in the assemblies of Christians and not to displease them,
[1 Cor. xi.10]
c. Another thought to the mentioning of the messengers is to avoid the fallen watchers/messengers that slept with the daughters of men
(Genesis 6:1-4). It is may be parallel to what will occur in the last days.
Numbers 5:18 – ‘And the priest shall make the woman to stand before Ahayah, and shall UNCOVER the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, while the priest holds in his hand the bitter water that brings the curse.’
This verse clearly shows that we are not talking about her ‘hair’ as most preachers or Christian theologians would allude to. If so, are we saying he scalped her right here? No, women always wore their head coverings in public and everywhere they went; NOT JUST WHEN THEY ARE PRAYING AND PROPHESYING. It is worn also as a SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY.
UNCOVER [6544] = To loosen, to bear, to make naked; shame; unbind head (by removing turban, sign of mourning); to set; refuse; uncover.

Burqa ban passes French lower house overwhelmingly
Burqa ban passes French lower house overwhelmingly - CNN NEWS
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/07/13/france.burqa.ban/index.html
France's lower house of parliament Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a ban on any veils that cover the face -- including the burqa, the full-body covering worn by some Muslim women.
The vote was 335 to 1.
The measure must still go to the French Senate before it becomes law. The Senate is expected to vote on it in the week of September 20.
Amnesty International immediately condemned the vote.
"A complete ban on the covering of the face would violate the rights to freedom of expression and religion of those women who wear the burqa or the niqab in public as an expression of their identity or beliefs," said John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International's expert on discrimination in Europe.
French people back the ban by a margin of more than four to one, the Pew Global Attitudes Project found in a survey this spring.
Some 82 percent of people polled approved of a ban, while 17 percent disapproved. That was the widest support the Washington-based think tank found in any of the five countries it surveyed.
Clear majorities also backed burqa bans in Germany, Britain and Spain, while two out of three Americans opposed it, the survey found.
The French Council of Ministers approved the measure in May, saying veils that cover the face "cannot be tolerated in any public place." Their approval sent the bill to parliament.
The parliamentary vote is the latest step in France's efforts to ban the burqa, niqab and other Muslim garments that cover a woman's face.
A panel of French lawmakers recommended a ban last year, and lawmakers unanimously passed a non-binding resolution in May calling the full-face veil contrary to the laws of the nation.
"Given the damage it produces on those rules which allow the life in community, ensure the dignity of the person and equality between sexes, this practice, even if it is voluntary, cannot be tolerated in any public place," the French government said when it sent the measure to parliament in May.
The bill envisions a fine of 150 euros ($190) and/or a citizenship course as punishment for wearing a face-covering veil.
Forcing a woman to wear a niqab or a burqa would be punishable by a year in prison or a 15,000-euro ($19,000) fine, the government said, calling it "a new form of enslavement that the republic cannot accept on its soil."
The measure would take effect six months after passage, giving authorities time to try to persuade women who veil themselves voluntarily to stop.
The French Council of State has warned that the ban could be incompatible with international human rights laws and the country's own constitution. The council advises on laws, but the government is not required to follow its recommendations.
If the French bill is approved by the upper house and signed into law, it will be the first national ban in Europe on the burqa, a full-body covering that includes a mesh over the face, and the niqab, a full-face veil that leaves an opening only for the eyes.
The hijab, which tightly covers the hair and neck but not the face, and the chador, which covers the body but not the face, apparently would not be banned by either law. However, a 2004 law in France bans the wearing or displaying of overt religious symbols in schools -- including the wearing of headscarves by schoolgirls.
The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life estimates that France has about 3.5 million Muslims, or about 6 percent of the population.
France does not keep its own statistics on religious affiliation of the population, in keeping with its laws requiring the state to be strictly secular.
