A Head Covering

Is the Head Covering of the Church Christ Himself? Let's examine.

HEAD (CHRIST) IS UNCOVERED, SHORN OR SHAVEN IN TRIBULATION?

Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering^04541, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

HEAD IS COVERED, HAIR GROWS AGAIN: REDEMPTION OF THE BODY – DEPART OUT

1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

Jud 16:17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

God makes a distinction between the natural long hair of a woman and that of a man. So the Bible appears to be showing that a woman (church) desiring to prophecy with her head uncovered (without Christ) dishonors God. The head or hair typifies the covering that is Christ. Doing so, is rebellion and she might as well be shorn or shaven (come under judgment). And the man (church also) desiring long hair appears to be a picture of the body providing for its own covering by going after false (gospels). This would have been especially true coming into the great tribulation: The body is shorn and loses strength (Christ). But the hair grows back as God delivers the elect from Babylon.
