A Woman Should Cover Her Head
1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
[
Note: At the time 1st Corinthians chapter eleven was written, people did not have a King James Bible. They had to learn from a teacher. So, Paul is instructing them to remember and follow what he taught them regarding CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man G435 is Christ; and the head of the woman G1135 is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
[
Note: This is the order of things. If you take a look at the definitions for “man” and “woman”, you will see that man is defined as male and woman is defined as wife. The natural order of things is that men act or present themselves as male (men), and women act or present themselves as female (women).

1 Corinthians 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
[
Note: This is speaking directly of gender. There is a natural design to GOD’S natural creation. Man needed a help mate, and by GOD’S wisdom that help mate is female (a woman, or wife).

1 Corinthians 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power G1849 on her head because of the angels.
G1849
ἐξουσία
exousia
ex oo see' ah
From G1832 (in the sense of ability); privilege, that is, (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence: authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.
[
Note: “For this cause”, or for the same reason (that the woman was created for the man) ought the woman to have power on her head. The woman ought to have power on her head the same as the man, meaning the woman should have her head covered in CHRIST. This is because the angels are male and would be prepared to seduce the woman.
The following is what happened in the days of Noah:
Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
It will be the same leading up to the return of JESUS:
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Rather than being born of woman, these angels decided to seduce women and their reason for doing so was to try and stop the seed of CHRIST. These angels have fallen because they left their first estate and came to earth with the purpose of trying to stop GOD’S Plan.
This is why verse “1 Corinthians 11:10” says the woman should be covered (in CHRIST) “because of the angels”. It’s because these angels will be returning to earth in the days leading up to the return of CHRIST.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
]
1 Corinthians 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
[
Note: Both are one in CHRIST.
]
1 Corinthians 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
[
Note: It’s GOD’S natural design. All that GOD created is good, but when something unnatural creeps in (against GOD’S design), then things deteriorate. So, just as the man in CHRIST has power or protection, so has the woman.
]
1 Corinthians 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
[
Note: It is not comely that a woman pray unto GOD as a man, being unnatural to GOD’S creation.

2.

noun
1.
(often pl) a lock of hair, esp a long lock of woman's hair
2.

3.

[
Note: If a woman is not covered in CHRIST, then it is possible that she will be seduced by the fallen angels when they arrive at the hour of temptation. And nature itself tells you that if a man can be seduced by fallen angels, that it is unnatural and shameful. So, even though the head of the man is CHRIST, a man does not cover his head in order not to be seduced by a male fallen angel. That is unnatural and an abomination.
]
1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
[
Note: A woman is feminine and beautiful. So the woman needs the protection of CHRIST from these male fallen angels. Don’t forget that when angels came to notify Abraham that Sarah would have a son, they enjoyed a full meal under a tree when Abraham had Sarah to prepare them a meal. Men and women in the wilderness had angels food (manna) for sustenance during the Exodus from Egypt. Angels can enjoy the same things that flesh man enjoys. I speak this in case anyone has a flawed understanding of the characteristics of angels.

1 Corinthians 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
[
Note: Both are one in CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
[
Note: It’s GOD’S natural design. All that GOD created is good, but when something unnatural creeps in (against GOD’S design), then things deteriorate. So, just as the man in CHRIST has power or protection, so has the woman.

1 Corinthians 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
[
Note: It is not comely that a woman pray unto GOD as a man, being unnatural to GOD’S creation.

Note: If a woman is not covered in CHRIST, then it is possible that she will be seduced by the fallen angels when they arrive at the hour of temptation. And nature itself tells you that if a man can be seduced by fallen angels, that it is unnatural and shameful. So, even though the head of the man is CHRIST, a man does not cover his head in order not to be seduced by a male fallen angel. That is unnatural and an abomination.

1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
[
Note: A woman is feminine and beautiful. So the woman needs the protection of CHRIST from these male fallen angels. Don’t forget that when angels came to notify Abraham that Sarah would have a son, they enjoyed a full meal under a tree when Abraham had Sarah to prepare them a meal. Men and women in the wilderness had angels food (manna) for sustenance during the Exodus from Egypt. Angels can enjoy the same things that flesh man enjoys. I speak this in case anyone has a flawed understanding of the characteristics of angels.
