There are no Jews, no Greeks, etc. part32

At the same time, we have to realize that women physically cannot keep the enemies out, as written in Nahum 3:13. Women were not considered among those that could protect the city of Ninevah. This reference was a warning to Ninevah that describe the wrath that resulted from proceeding against God. Women were considered the weakest of humans and this meant that the men fighting were poor fighting stock and that they could never defeat God. But women were shown as strong in other areas, nurturing, caring for family, distributing love, for example. David spoke of this, in that the love he felt for Jonathan in friendship went beyond that of a woman (2 Samuel 1:26), meaning the love felt was even stronger and higher than that of a woman. This was and is a woman’s asset, that they have a great deal of love, compassion, and their abilities to raise God and to ensure they are trained in God. (Isaiah 49:15) That doesn’t mean women cannot lead. There have been many capable leaders. It simply means that women are not the one’s who can ultimately physically protect against a warring enemy. Men on the other hand need women to help them. Does this mean women need to be with men? Or that men need to be with women? Not always going to happen! So often women are by themselves, especially widows, and it often falls upon them to build up and repair the house, tend the fields, in general keeping the home going. Men on the other hand are the protectors and keep the enemy out and also bring in the tools and the items with which women can build and maintain the household and cause it to grow.
