Simple answers to a difficult question.
spectacle unto the world, and to angels
By: Dov Avnon
4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death:
for we are made a spectacle unto the world,
and to angels, and to men. 1 CORINTHIANS Chapter 4
Have you ever thought about how the preaching of Jesus Christ can be a spectacle even to the angels?
As grace believers who understand Paul's distinctive ministry and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery. We know much about heavenly warfare.
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, Ephesians chapter 3
We know that the purpose of our preaching is mainly to show in the heavenly places what Christ accomplished on the cross and much more that they will know what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Ephesians chapter 1
We know also that by preaching our fullness in Christ. We make a show of the principalities.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Colossians chapter 2 .
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
We know that by standing for the truth of the mystery we are not making many friends. It will also be hard in those days to find people who go to study the written word of God.
However while we are straggling in our life in standing for the truth we know: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians chapter 6
In another word we will say do not take it personally and do not forget that it is not about the brothers or sisters in the body who teach different but about the spiritual wickedness in high places who help fellow believers not to believe the truth. Or like Paul said: O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you Galatians chapter 3
Dear reader this is only part of the spectacle that Paul went through and so are you if you will follow Paul as he follows Christ.
What is the other fundamental truth that made Paul so spectacle also to the angels?
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
1 cor 11:10
We learn in our life and experience the warfare in preaching the mystery but that is not all. There is another important ordinance that will put you in the middle of hardware that not many brothers and sister are willing to take part of it.
The most common excuse is “I do not see it” “it is not for us today” “Paul really did not mean what he say” and many other explanations.
And still, it is written and clear as crystal that the women should cover the head as part of Godly purpose under this dispensation of Grace to show the angels about the headship in the Bible:
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 1 cor. 11
I know from experience that teaching this truth will not only break your fellowship but also almost your heart. To see how faithful brethren turning their back on you only because you just want to follow Paul as he follow Christ.
It will break your hart to hear that your wife is not welcome at a certain fellowship only because she covered the head. She doing it not because she going to prophecies but because she obeying now the words of Christ to Paul and recognize that the man at the fellowship is the image and glory of God.
Of course, it is not making things easy and now we can understand a little bit what Paul went through while writing the Corinthian so long letter and why he was left alone.
Angels can see
Did you know that angels can see? Did you know that we will judge angels? Did you know that Satan comes as an angel of light?
As grace believers, we know much about the work of angels even under the time of grace.
So we learn that by preaching Christ according to the revelation of the mystery angels can hear and know the manifold wisdom of God. But can angels also see?
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 tim 3:16
There is much to be said about what the angels can see today how believers obey God. So if the angels do not HEAR the right message because it is not preached what about the wrong things that they see in us?
I believe that one of the truths that angels should see today in the Church the body of Christ is that man and woman understand their place in the headship. The women cover the head and what about the man: 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
So when your church comes together and the woman is not covering the head the angels will not see who is who and I mean that the man is the image and glory of God.
some will answer with the words: 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight: yes it is very true but let not miss used Paul's words in one place as it of like he contradicts his words in another place. We should walk by faith as we should follow Paul as he follows Christ in the ordinances that he gave to the Church.
worshipping of angels
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, kol. 2:18
Let’s look around us. I mean the churches with what they call service, with the sermon and the man behind the pulpit who titles himself with the gift of pastor.
Of course that some of the truth of the mystery become known even in this man-made organization. But the question is “why are we coming together”? Is it for the singing? Or is it to fulfill some religious need? Is it only for the good rightly divided preaching or is there something more?
I am sure that understanding why we should follow Paul in the ordinances for the Church. Will help us to know what we should show the ANGELS in order not to become ANGEL’s worshipers as many do in those days.
