Eve
(“the mother of all living”)
“Then the rib which the Lord GOD had taken from man
He made into a woman,
and He brought her to the man.”
(Genesis 2:22)
In the Bible, GOD tells us that He allowed Adam (man) to name woman (Gen 2:23). The first woman didn’t even receive a name (an adjective which describes each person’s individuality) until after original sin had been acted upon by mankind. I think there was also another reason why man named us “Woman”. As already discussed, Adam was made of the red clay dirt—which is what gives man his rugged qualities. Man endures the elements much better than woman because he was created from those very same elements. But Eve was not created from these same elements or in the same way. Eve was made by GOD’s own hands from that which He had already created and breathed life into—that “breath” being the soft, gentle, whisper of GOD’s worth in us. Everything that GOD creates is perfect by His very nature.
Eve was a paragon in the feminine sense. Eve was made out of Adam’s bone, which gives us women perfect bone structure and represents the "frame" of our lineage. She was made of Adam’s flesh, which gives us our soft, smooth, silky skin. Her hair is a refinement of Adam’s soft locks from his head and thus our “crowning” glory. Her eyes reflect the deep love and compassion that GOD holds for His children because of the love that He professed to Adam through His gift of us presented to Adam. A woman’s voice is an echo of GOD’s soft and quiet demeanor that soothes mankind when he is frightened, tired, and confused. Her breasts represent the vitality that GOD has for life and through them comforts and nurtures the savage soul. Woman’s very body is the vessel by which GOD brings forth abundant life to mankind. Her touch the tenderness of GOD that man otherwise does not always know how to convey. GOD gifted woman with deep passion which is the catalyst that evokes action to spring forth from man. Woman is man’s support to his ego and fulfillment of the manliness to his “manhood”. Woman carries the very essence of GOD’s existence in the intuitive reflex that guides us to and guards us against the unseen. Woman is the other “side” of man, as he thinks, she feels. Put all of these qualities together and explain that to a man and his verbal reaction will be “Whoa Man!”. I believe that was Adam’s first reaction when GOD presented Eve to him and explained all of her qualities to him. That’s so cool and so beautiful! How GOD must love us women to give such thought to our creation.

About the Book
Mary, Mother of Jesus
King David’s lineage ends with Jesus through Mary, a woman who God has placed above even man, as He permitted Mary to beget a Son, without the seed of man. He bestowed the greatest honor, as a sign of respect, not to man, but to woman, and specifically a woman of a long line of Levite Priests, our blessed Mother Mary, “Blessed is she among all women. Blessed is the fruit of her womb, Jesus!” The line of Kings ends with a woman, Mary, so that no others may claim the right to sit upon the throne. Mary is the last to have the inalienable birth right to the throne of Adam. Belief in Jesus gives us an inheritance to the throne, not because of anything we have done or because of our position in life, but solely because of Jesus and His position promised by God in the very beginning in the book of Genesis. Ladies, this is the level of respect, honor, and grace which has been, is, and will always be given to women by God. God recognizes women with precedence and therefore, no other being has any right or authority to usurp that which He has bestowed upon women. It is time that all of mankind recognize women based on this precedence, granting them equal respect, honor, and dignity in all matters. For it is written that woman is graced with the power of the Angels (1 Corinthians 11:10, emphasis mine), “For this cause ought the woman to have a power on her head because of the angels”, which is the authority over woman—not mankind (KJV Study Bible, 2002).
About the Author
Author’s Note:
I have gone through that which no parent should ever have to endure—the loss of a child. That loss is nothing short of a holocaust of pain. You can bet that I was angry with God, and that He and I had more than one angry conversation and screaming match. But God had already made provisions in mine and my son’s lives way before this time and continued to provide through that time. I prayed daily that God would protect my son and keep him safe. And God did just that, for He has never once promised to protect our earthly bodies, only our souls. And so He has.
