Should women wear headcoverings?

Q. Your teaching seems to be opposed to that of the Church, is that intentional?
A. Yes it is and I'm glad that it has been clear enought that you can recognize that there is a difference. The "faith" that most are familiar with today, called Orthodox Christianity, is not what the faith of Yeshua or that of the Apostles. They were Torah observant, Sabbath keeping, festival celebrating, kosher eating believers who believed that the Torah had an important place in the life of a believer, either Jew or Gentile. If Yeshua, Paul or any of the other 1st century believers were here today they would have nothing to do with churched today. They would be saying the same things I have said, only much better and with more skill than I have. But, make no mistake about it, they would not be activley involved nor support any Christian Church as they are known today. They would be going to the synagogues on Sabbath, as was their custom. They would not be over to your house for Easter ham or help decorate your Christmas tree. They would be celebrating Yom Kippur and Rosh Ha Shannah, Chanukah and Purim. They would be learning the Torah and teaching it. They would not be saying that the "law has been done away with" or celebrating homosexual clergy or supporting television networks that spread what they call a "gospel". They would be against such things, trying to get throught to the people to follow the L-rd, not some man-made religion that has replaced the Word of G-d.

Q. Should women wear headcoverings?

A. 1Cor 11 is very clear on this. A woman who is married that speaks for G-d or prays should have her head covered. This teaching is very hard to communicate in an article, but there is a governmental order in the scriptures. G-d, Messiah, Man then Woman. G-d is the head of Messiah,Messiah the head of Man, Man the head of Woman.Our glory must be covered before G-d. There is a glory in the long-hair of the woman. She is covered by her husband until she steps out to pray or speak for G-d, which is her right.

So, in respect to her husband, she covers herself to show that she is not acting in rebellion. There is a concept of 2 coverings in the scripture. You have the object to be covered, then the first covering which carries the glory, then a second covering. This is seen with the earth, flesh and skin, the ark, the Tabernacle, Sodom and Gomorrah and other areas. When the 2 nd covering is removed, it requires judgement. That why David had a plague at his census in 1 Chr 21, and the 2 sons of Aaron died.

This also plays a role with Sodom. The judgement is abated when the 2nd covering is restored or a substitutionary 2nd covering is done. A woman's glory is in her long-hair, and to come out from her husband without the 2nd covering requires judgement because the husband has not been replaced by the substitutionary 2nd covering. Also, a male should not have long hair and a female should not have short hair. The only exception for long hair on a male was when he was in a Nazarite vow (Num. 6) and he could not cut his hair until the vow was over. The practice of women's headcovering was a 1st century practice and endorsed by Paul.
