'For this cause
ought the woman
to have power on her head
- because of the angels.'
(1 Cor. 11:10)
Hello there,
This has been an interesting thread to read through.
In regard to the words, 'because of the angels': I have always thought that the head covering was to show that the woman was under the authority of her husband as a protection for her; remembering the action of fallen angels recorded in Genesis 6:-
'And it came to pass,
when men began to multiply on the face of the earth,
and daughters were born unto them,
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all which they chose.'
(Genesis 6:1,2)
The outcome of that being the contamination of mankind, [Noah only being spoken of as being 'a just man, and perfect in his generation'], bringing God's judgement in the form of a flood, which destroyed the earth that then was (2 Peter 2:4,5).
In Christ Jesus
