Hi Freeborn,
this is about the proud women of Jerusalem.
Well, I see it this way: the seven women represent seven false churches, yet they want to wear the name of the one true church,the name of Christ.
Many churches call themselves "christian" churches, but they are not.
Their own bread, wearing their own apparel..seems to me like they don't really want to follow Christ, but do things their own way,their carnal way, like all kind of ceremonies, putting laws on their followers.
Makes me think of the seven sons of Sceva who tried to cast out a demon in the name of Jesus, preached by Paul, but they didn't know who Jesus was.
To take away our reproach: they want their sins to be forgiven, like to be called christians but don't live up to it.
Someone told me once that these seven women can be compared with the nowadays American women, wanting a husband in name only, but leading their own lives.But I see this as a wordly vision, not scriptural.Women don't seek a husband only to be married, but like a real relationship and a man who takes care of them.
Perhaps these seven women can be compared to the seven churches of Asia in Rev.chapters 1,2 3 ??
How do you see this Jo?Or someone else?
