~ The Importance of a Woman’s Hair ~

Ezekiel 16: 1. Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2. Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

3. And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.

4. And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

5. None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

6. And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.

7. I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare. (See without grown hair, she was naked and bare.)

Now in verse 7 God is telling Jerusalem, who is likened to a comely and delicate WOMAN, that by his causing them to ‘live�?and blessing them, their HAIR IS GROWN.

See before he found her and blessed her, her HAIR WAS NOT GROWN. Then the long or grown hair was and is a sign of His Blessing upon a woman or Church or Nation.

8. Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.

9. Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

This is showing the blessing God gave Jerusalem (the true Church) at Pentecost --- he washed them and made them clean; gave them life; caused their hair to grow out; anointed them with the oil of the Holy Ghost; and beautified them with salvation.

That is what all these verses are showing. It is figurative language showing the true Spiritual condition after Pentecost. So by this, for a woman to cut off her hair is showing that they have turned away back from the Pentecost blessing and salvation. Don’t be deceived; this is of more importance than any of us realize!

10. I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

11. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

12. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

13. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

14. And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee saith the Lord God.

15. But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.

16. And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

17. Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,

18. And tookest thy broidered garments and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.

1Tim. 2: 9. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10. But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

1 Peter 3: 1. Likewise, ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

2. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

3. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

4. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Now in the above Scriptures we have both Peter and Paul, the two main Apostles agreeing as the two witnesses needed to confirm this teaching, that women must not plait or broid their hair. Why? This would be doing away with the ‘covering�? See that in verse 4 he spoke of these things as ‘ornaments�? This is showing same thing Eze. Is speaking of, that they took the blessings God gave them and made them into idols and offered them is worship of idols.

People this is staggering in its true meaning: it is saying they took the Holy Ghost, the oil, and the grown hair and turned them into idols. They did this by making dead church services instead of the life of the H.G. They took their grown hair and cut it off and curled and plated it up and balled it up on their heads to make themselves sexy and lustful. They (the church) took the gifts of the Holy Ghost which he had anointed them with and refused them, turning instead to doctors and such. They denied the things of God and turned to the worldly things He had rescued them from!

This is an abomination to the Living God and a spit in his face. It causing shame to be upon his blessing.
