There are no Jews, Greeks, etc

God listens to women, and in that way He also lets everyone know that He listens. Women that were abused, much as Israel was. And there was justice done. (Genesis 34:1-2) God vindicated his people as much as He did with Dinah and her rape. There were those who weren’t interested in their own welfare but that of loved ones. For instance, Zipporah who put herself between God and Moses and consecrating him before God followed through on killing him. (Exodus 4:25). Then there was Rahab, who protected the two spies and enabled them to report back to Joshua. (Joshua 2:1) In Numbers 25:6-8, women are used to prevent plagues from Israel. And the use women as a metaphor for Israel is clear, as demonstrated above. At points in time Israel was not always the God-fearing nation that God desired it to be. And women are not always portrayed as sugar and spice and everything nice. Women were shown as cannibals (II Kings 6:28,29), purveyors of evil ( II Kings 23:7, II Kings 22:10-13, Revelations 17:4, 18; Zechariah 5:7,8), people who strike fear into godly men (Nehemiah 6:14), connivers and manipulators for their own gain (Esther 5:14, Esther 6:13, and Matthew 14:8), greedy and self-seeking (Isaiah 4:1, Psalms 78:63, Judges 11:37). Women were shown as being ambitious, as in Ezekiel 13:17-23. Women were shown as lacking understanding (Job 19:17), as blaming God for all of their problems (Job 2:9), as being flippant about how they carried on their life (Isaiah 32:9,11), as being whores (Hosea 1:2, 3:1), and adulteresses (Matthew 14:34). There were specific women that reminded the reader of Israel. For example, Bathsheba involved in sin in 2 Samuel 11:4,4, and 27 and 2 Samuel 12:9-10. Then there were women who tempted Solomon spoken of in Nehemiah 13:26. And Jezebel in 1 Kings 18:4-13 and 1 Kings 19:2. There was also Herod’s wife in Mark 6:18-28 and Matthew 14:6-14 who put her daughter as a temptation for Herod to kill John the Baptist. This woman misled her husband so that he lost his soul. And what of Sapphira in Acts 5:1-11 who went along with the sin of her husband, Ananias and cheated the LORD.
