The Seed vs the Serpent
Tears welled up in my eyes. Anger rose up in my spirit.
Another woman. An added statistic.
I watched a documentary of a 95 year old woman widowed at the tender age of 10 years old.
She got married at the tender age of nine.
Imagine that...
She hailed from a region where widows were confined to one house and should the desire to get remarried arise. She had to seek permission from her former in-laws.
Her case. The in-laws denied her permission.
Customs also demanded the widows to wear only one type of light clothing regardless of the climate for the rest of their lives.
Her husband died in winter. She froze the entire season.
For the past 85 years. This woman wore only one type of clothing and lived in the same house.
No family. No future. No hope.
Scripture records a woman as such.
A daughter of the king of Israel. Inheritor of striking beauty and spotless skin.
Tamar was stunning!!
2nd Samuel 14:25 describes her brother's physical appearance.
"In all Israel there was not a man so highly praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. From the top of his head to the sole of his foot there was no blemish in him."
A victim of rape.
She was marked ineligible for marriage nor motherhood.
Her father, King David brushed the evil deed under the carpet. The rapist, her half brother refused to cover her shame by marrying her.
Alone, rejected and invinsible.
This beautiful royal princess lived until her last day.
No family. No future. No hope.
Women, Look around. It is time to open our eyes.
The female gender is under serious attack!
Many are going through untold hardships and have resigned to their fate.
Genesis 3:15 paints a clear picture.
"And I will put enmity between You and the Woman,
And between Your seed and Her Seed;
He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise His Heel."
The battle lines were drawn.
Ist Timothy 1:18 shows us the way out.
"I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them YOU MAY FIGHT THE BATTLE WELL."
This is a call to fight.
The weapons are available. The power is at hand.
It is time to wage war.
