You may recognize the similarity of the Greek word ‘phobeo’ to our English word
phobia. Both come from the same root which means “to fear.” You may ask, “Why
would a woman fear her husband?” The type of fear here is a reverential fear and it
is similar to the admonition that saints are given to fear God. The husband actually
stands in the place of God to his wife. Man is the head of woman as Christ is the head
of man. Man has been delegated authority by God. He stands in God’s authority.

Yahweh revealed to me that the lack of submission in Christian marriages today is
a mirror of the lack of submission found in the church toward Christ. We will not
resolve the issues discussed here by adopting democratic forms. It will not satisfy
God for men to say, “I will always follow Christ when I agree with Him. If Christ will
never ask me to do something I am unwilling to do, then we will have peace. Let
Christ and man perform their relationship in a democratic way. Let Christ always
consult with man before He makes a decision.”

No, this would be unacceptable to the Father. Christ is our example. Even as we are
told in the Gospel of John that Yahshua NEVER did anything of His own initiative,
but He always did the will of the Father, even so should man have his head covered
before Christ and he should always strive to never do anything of his own initiative,
but to always do the will of Christ. And so should woman do with man.

This requires humility and submission. It requires putting the flesh to death, and for
the lack of these things we sadly find these things rarely practiced. May Yahweh
grant us His grace to walk in His divine governmental order.
