testimony that, “I have covered my head so that I do not have my own
head, for I do not seek to be head. My head is veiled and I have accepted
man as head, and to accept man as head means that I have accepted
Christ as head and God as head. But some of you angels have rebelled
against God.” This is what is meant by “because of the angels.”

I have a sign of authority on my head. I am a woman with my head
covered. This is a most excellent testimony to the angels, to the fallen
and to the unfallen ones. No wonder Satan so persistently opposes the
matter of head covering. It really puts him to shame. We are doing what
he has failed to do. What God did not receive from the angels, He now
has from the church. Because some of the angels do not submit
themselves to the authority of God and of His Christ, the world is
subject to great confusion. The fall of Satan has caused more trouble
than the fall of man. But, thank God, what He failed to get from the
fallen angels, He has obtained from the church.

When many of the sisters in the church take the place given to woman
and learn to cover their heads, they send out an unspoken word of
testimony to the angels in the air, to the effect that God has obtained in
the church what He desires. Because of this, woman must have on her
head a sign of authority, a testimony to the angels.

I have written all this out for you because I truly desire that you would see the truth
of the magnificent testimony of head covering. It is tragic that the church has been
falsely taught that the grace of God nullifies the government of God. This is great
error and it will keep many from progressing in the kingdom. Only the truly humble
will be able to receive this message, for pride always desires to uncover its head and
determine its own way.

Even as many women do not want to have any man directing their activities, so many
men do not want Christ to dictate to them. Obedience only occurs when the will of
Christ coincides with the will of man, or when the will of the wife or daughter
coincides with the will of the husband or father. The world is full of two-headed
monsters for many refuse to cover their head, desiring rather to expose it as Satan
did.

Is it any wonder that this is such a difficult teaching, since it bears upon the original
transgression of Satan. He has worked tirelessly to get all others to uncover their
heads, even as he did. He would have the whole world uncovered before God. We see
the tragic results of his efforts as children uncover their heads before their parents,
wives before their husbands, men before Christ, servants before their masters,
