Headcovering is a declaration of being in a condition of rest under the
government of God.

As one looks at Christendom today they will find that headcovering is seldom
practiced. This is in keeping with the days we live in. There are precious few saints that are
truly walking in a position of rest before God. Myriads are following their own will and their
own ways. They are speaking their own words. They are choosing for themselves what their
activities will be. They are prophesying as it seems right to them. They are casting out
demons according to their own counsel. They are building church buildings and creating
their own kingdoms according to their own desires. They are asking the Father to satisfy
their lusts and to prosper them in the mammon of the world. They are failing to seek first
the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
In actuality, Christianity by and large has their head uncovered before Yahweh and in
turn women in the church have their heads uncovered before their husbands and fathers.
Many women know nothing of submitting to their husbands. Calling their husband lord is
the height of absurdity to them. Likewise, men know little of submitting to Christ. They do
the things that seem good to them, and if Christ happens to ask them to do something they
agree with they will do it. However, they know little of what it is to die to self and to follow
Christ down paths that are not attractive to the flesh and to the soul.
Like many wives, men tell Christ that they will do what He asks if it seems good to
them. The Father is merely letting us see in marriages within the church a reflection of the
relationship between the church and Christ. There is currently little submission in either
realm.
Paul stated in Ephesians 5:22 and following that the relationship between a man and
his wife is a mysterious representation of the relationship between Christ and the church.
It is my belief that the state of marriages within the church is an accurate reflection of the
church’s relationship with Christ. Currently there is very little reverence, obedience,
submission and love present. The church to a large extent has its head uncovered. But these
th
things will change among a remnant of believers before we enter the 7 millennium and the
Sabbath rest of God.
Knowing that Satan’s original transgression before Yahweh was uncovering his head,
it is no wonder that he works so tirelessly to get all others to follow his pattern of rebellion.
Even as he desired to be like God, he also enticed Eve by telling her that if she ate of the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil, she would be like God. Even as he uncovered his head
and abandoned his place in the order and government of Yahweh, so he entices men and
women to do the same.
It requires humility to walk in submission to God’s order, but Paul in describing the
last days to Timothy said that in these days men would be proud (II Timothy 3:2). Due to
the pride of men and women today, even those in the church, there is little headcovering
practiced. Like Satan, many have cast off the headship established by Yahweh and they
declare this to be good. To be uncovered, however, is to fall from the place of Sabbath rest
in God. It leads to barren lives that do not produce fruit that is acceptable and pleasing to
the Father.
th
As we are poised to enter into the 7 day of mankind, the day that typifies Sabbath
rest, a great upheaval must occur among the saints of God. Men and women must learn to
cover their heads and to have no initiative or will of their own. They must return to a place
of rest before God where they can say with Yahshua, “My meat, (that which gives me
