Let the woman have a sign of authority on her head because of the angels.

  Let the woman have a sign of authority on her head because of the angels.   1 Corinthians 11:10: "Therefore let the woman have a sign of authority on her head because of the angels (dia δι ὰ )."   The word dia ( δι ὰ ), translated as "because of," means "through" or "because of." The woman symbolizes the fallen angel, and the head symbolizes the man (Christ). This means that all people placed in this world are women, and the man is Christ, who is there to save the woman. Therefore, although men and women are separated, they become one in Christ. Ephesians 5:31-32: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, as I speak concerning Christ and the church." Man, as the first man (Christ), leaves his parents (God) and becomes one flesh (the sinful body destined to die and the resurrected body of eternal life) with his wife (the fallen ang...

The head of the man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man.

  The head of the man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man.   1 Corinthians 11:1-3: "Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. I commend you because in all things you remember me and keep the traditions I handed down to you. But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God."   The word "mimetai" ( μιμητα ί ) is translated as "imitate" in English. It says to become imitators of me (Paul), but the translator incorrectly translated it as "I become an imitator of Christ." It means, "Just as I (Paul) have become the possession of Christ, you too must become imitators of me." Therefore, it means that you too must become the possession of Christ.   If a saint follows the example of Christ, they will have accomplished everything that Christ did. The saint dies together on the cross in Christ, rises together, and is seated in the heavenly places.   ...

Some tested the Lord and perished by snakes.

  Some tested the Lord and perished by snakes.   1 Corinthians 10:9-11: “ Some of them tested the Lord and perished by snakes. Let us not test (epeirasan) as they did. Some of them grumbled and perished by the destroyer. Do not grumble as they did. These things happened to them as examples, and they were written to warn us who live in the last days. ”   This content is from Numbers chapter 21. The cause of their destruction was testing God and grumbling. God had the Israelites depart from Mount Hor and travel along the Red Sea route, bypassing the land of Edom. They complained to God, asking why He made them take a detour when they could have reached Canaan by going straight without the detour, and there was nothing to eat in the wilderness. Consequently, God sent fiery serpents to bite the people, resulting in the death of many Israelites from snake bites. When the devil tempted Jesus, in the second temptation, he said that if Jesus jumped from the roof of a buil...

Do not become idolaters

  Do not become idolaters   1 Corinthians 10:4-7: “ They all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ. But God was not pleased with most of them, so they perished in the wilderness. This was to serve as an example for us, so that we may not delight in evil as they did. Do not become idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written: ‘ The people sit down to eat and drink, and rise up to dance. ’”   When the people who had left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea entered the wilderness, they had nothing to eat, so God gave them manna that came down from heaven to eat. Manna symbolizes Christ. And when they grumbled against Moses because there was no water, God commanded a stone to produce water so they could drink; that stone is Christ. The point is that while those baptized within the church hear God's spiritual word and gain hope for the Kingdom of God, just as the majority of the Israelites per...
