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 διὰ)."

 

The word dia (διὰ), 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 angels). The relationship between Christ and the church (the saints) becomes one in Christ, where God and the saints become one through the Holy Spirit.

 

This goes beyond the perspective of viewing the Garden of Eden, which appears in Genesis 2, as a temple in the world, to viewing it as an event that took place in the Kingdom of God. This is because the Bible speaks of the sin of the angels in two places: Jude 1:6 and 2 Peter 2:4. Genesis 2:21-23: "The LORD God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep (Nahthar). While he was asleep, he took one of his ribs and replaced it with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken from Adam, and brought her to Adam. And Adam said, 'This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.'"

 

The First Man is a model of the Last Man. The First Man symbolizes Jesus Christ, who dies on the cross. Because the First Man, the Christian, died, the male Adam and the female Eve were created. The reason confusion arises here is that the First Man and the male Adam are viewed as identical. The First Man is Christ, but the male Adam is a model of the one who sinned. The First Man died, and through the First Man, the male and female were created with bodies of sin.

 

The First Man is Christ, who was born into this world to give bodies of sin to the people of the world; the Last Man is Christ, who was born to cause people to die to the body of sin and live in a spiritual body (a body of righteousness).

 

All those who received a body from the first man enter the flesh each carrying spiritual original sin (the sin of wanting to be like God). Christ is the High Priest who enters the Most Holy Place as the representative of sinners by receiving the imputed blood of an animal that sacrifices the sins of the people. Adam and Eve represent all those who sinned against God, whose spirits departed from Him and were born into this world united with the flesh. Therefore, it is not the same sin as the transgression of the first man.

 

Adam and Eve symbolize the angels who sinned in the Kingdom of God. How did they sin? They ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil out of a desire to be like God. Eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which grew from a poisonous mushroom, means that they had already created something that opposes God. What is that? One must know the true nature of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

 

Romans 5:12: "So then sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all have sinned."

 

"And through sin, death entered the world." The Bible states that death entered the world through the sin that occurred in the Garden of Eden. In chapter 5, verse 14, it says, "But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even those who did not commit the same sin as Adam; Adam was a type of the one who was to come." It says that death reigns. Death, too, does not signify a conceptual meaning, but a real existence. The phrase "death reigns" means that the greed of eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil reigns. James 1:15: "But when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and when sin is full-grown, it brings forth death."

 

Genesis 2:16-17: "The Lord God commanded the man, saying, 'You may eat from any tree in the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat from it, you will die.'"

 

Eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil implies becoming the subject who judges good and evil oneself, stemming from a desire to become like God. This describes the story of the angels who sinned in the Kingdom of God.

 

Jude 1:6: "And the angels who did not keep their own position, but left their own dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under darkness until the great day of judgment." 2 Peter 2:4: "God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them into hell and put them in dark pits to be kept until the day of judgment."

 

Because the sinful angels harbored greed in their desire to become like God, God punished them. In Genesis 2:17, the sinful angel ate the "fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." This was because they wanted to become like God. That fruit is the fruit of sin. By eating the fruit of sin, one becomes death. It is spiritual death.

 

God confined the sinful angel within the dust of the world, causing him to become human. God confined the evil angel by making him human. Therefore, Genesis 2:7 states, "The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." Since the spirit is confined within the dust, it becomes death.

 

Sin did not originate in the world, but in the Kingdom of God. Romans 5:12 says, "So then sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all have sinned."

 

The one man is the first man, Adam. It is translated as "through one man," but it means "through one man." The first man, Adam, is the channel through which sin enters the world. In other words, the word "channel" means a body through which sin passes. Therefore, the body of sin is the channel of sin. The "body of sin" mentioned in Romans 6:6 is expressed in Greek as *to soma tes hamartias* (τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας), which can be viewed not as a body of masses of sin, but as something like a container for garbage. If one considers sin as an object, it is like a vessel that holds sin. The first man, Adam, fulfills this role. Therefore, the first man is Christ.

 

Men and women were born inheriting the body of sin from the first man, Adam, and the sin committed by the sinful angel enters their bodies of sin from heaven. Furthermore, as the spirit of the sinful angel enters the body of sin, it becomes the people of the later generation (men and women). Thus, as the spirit of the evil angel enters the body of sin, it dies spiritually. In this way, all people in the world possess sin and a body of sin (a physical body). The body of sin is received from parents, and sin enters the Kingdom of Heaven along with the sinful spirit.
