HIERARCHY AND PASSOVER
1Corinthians 11.3.7-123. But I want you to understand that Christ is the Head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and *GOD (GOD Father) is the Head of Christ.
7. For a man ought not to have his head covered, *since he is the image and glory of GOD, but the woman is the glory (image) of man.
8. Man does not originate from woman, but woman from man.
9. Indeed, man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake. (Genesis 2.20-25).
10. Therefore, the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11. However, in the Lord neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
12. As the woman originates from the man (in the Lord), so also the man (originates in the Lord) through the woman, and all things originate from GOD.
In these verses Paul clearly described the ladder of authority for all who are in Christ. The secular world has own steps of authority because they did not recognize GOD, but for the Christians it is very important to know who their Authority in Heaven is and who is their authority on Earth.
Paul precisely identified GOD Father as the Head of Christ in verse 3 (John 14.28) (Ephesians 4.15-16), and the Christ in turn the Head of every man on Earth, and the man in turn is the head of every woman on Earth.
But Paul specifically concentrated his attention in this matter on women, because the issue of independence of women is not new neither in ancient world nor in our days. Paul placed woman under authority of man not only in family but also and in general life specifically indicating that a woman is the product of man, and the man is the product of GOD. Man was created by GOD first, and the woman is created from a man for his sake. (8-9) (Genesis 2.20-25).
"It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." (Genesis 2.18).
As the proper custom of the church according to Paul, men do not cover their heads during the worship of GOD, otherwise it will be disgrace, because every man is a straight descendant of GOD, and the GOD is his cover.
Woman on the other hand is a straight descendant of man made from his flesh and bone by GOD. Her head must be covered to show authority of men and angels over her. In this sense the woman is the image of man, and the man is the image of GOD. (4-12).
"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness." First man Adam. (Genesis 1.26).
Verse 11 specified that both man and woman are not independent from one another, because GOD created them to be together, and for this reason GOD does not accept divorce, more over GOD Hate Divorce (Malachi 2.16), but allowed Moses to give exception in this case (Deuteronomy 24.13), because of "hardness of heart" (KSB) (Matthew 19.8) of those who decided to separate "except for immorality" of one side (Matthew 19.8). So, the point is that those who think that they "hard in heart" or do not think so, but go for divorce anyway, let them divorce.
~ Certificate of Divorce: (Deuteronomy 24.1-4) (Matthew 19.3-7-8-12) (Mark 10.2-4-5-12).
PASSOVER
1Corinthians 11.20-34
20. "Therefore, when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper." By this statement Paul firmly declared that Passover is not just ordinary mealtime and it has nothing to do with ordinary food, but the Passover of Christ is the Spiritual Passover designed to remember His Body (Spiritual Bread) nailed to a cross and His Blood (the Spirit that was taken from His Body) for the sake of humanity. This is the Spiritual essence of the physical Passover of Christ.
Paul noticed that church in Corinth does not understand the Spirituality of Passover of Christ and for this reason Paul rebuke and condemned them for their lack of knowledge, understanding, and bad behavior during this important Spiritual Ritual. Paul immediately explained to them what actually means Body of Christ and His Blood (New Spiritual Covenant. verse 25) and the reason for His Passover is to Remember Him and His Spiritual Covenant - the Gospel for which He shed His Holy Blood.
~ Breaking the Bred (Body of Christ) means to be like Him in His life on Earth, to do good, justice, mercy, truth, and righteousness, and of course Good Works in order to prove our Faith in Him.
~ Good Works: (Nehemiah 2.18) (Matthew 5.16, 12.12) (Luke 6.35) (John 5.29, 10.32) (Acts 9.36, 10.38) (Romans 2.7.10) (2Corinthians 9.8) (Galatians 6.9-10) (Ephesians 2.10, 6.7-8) (Philippians 1.6) (Colossians 1.10) (2Thessalonians 2.17, 3.7-13) (1Timothy 2.9-10, 5.9-10.25, 6.18)
~ Drinking the Blood of Christ means Spiritually Drinking the Spirit (spirit is in the blood) of Christ to be like Him Spiritually, to have His Statutes and Commandments (New Covenant - Gospel) to be written on our spirits in order to act and to live according to His New Covenant and propagate the truth and salvation of His Gospel all over the Earth. (24-25).
But the most important statements here is recorded in verses 26-30. Paul warned Corinthians that those who celebrate Passover of Christ "unworthy," (27.KSB) shall be guilty of the Body and the Blood of Christ.
Consequences of such unworthy action are sicknesses of all kinds, and worse of all is death, which is mentioned here as "sleep. KSB."
Death described as sleep also written in other places of the Bible under different circumstances, but here it is mentioned as a result of improper conduct of Passover. So, people actually suffer and even died when they defiled Spiritual Passover of Christ by their inappropriate conduct of Passover.
