PART 3: GOD’S DESIGN OF THE WOMAN’S BODY
The Hebrew meaning of the words “male” or “female” nor the “CLICK’: immaculate design of who these terms represent does not translate well into English. English translations say God made “Man” in His own image.
1. Hebrew term is “âdam”, which means “Man,” “mankind” or “HUMAN,” and in Genesis 1 it refers to both male and female; in Genesis 2, it refers to mankind in verse 5, but all other verses refer to Adam as the first Man; and in Genesis 3 it refers to Adam, Adam and Eve, or mankind.
a. God FASHIONED (bânâh) Eve from what He took from Adam’s rib.
God intricately made our bodies beautiful and functional for His purposes.
b. God removed a rib from Adam whom He created, out of which He fashioned Eve. The word, “rib” (Hebrew – tsela’) taken from Adam to form Eve is an ARCHITECTURAL term. – beam, board, chamber, corner, leaf, plank, side chamber, architectural rib, and used as such in the other 40 places it is found in Scripture outside of the references to Adam’s rib.
c. The term bânâh also means to “obtain CHILDREN” (Genesis 16:2) or “have children” (Genesis 30:3).
d. In Genesis 1:27, God created Man in His own image, in the image of God He created them; MALE (Hebrew: “zakar,” meaning remember) and FEMALE (Hebrew: “neqebah” meaning to pierce.) Unlike the English male and female, the original Hebrew words have no relation to each other in meaning or sound, as our English male and female do.
e. When Adam awoke and saw Eve he recognized the difference and said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman (ish shah) because she was taken out of Man (ish).” Genesis 2:23. This is where GENDER was clearly established as men and women.
Here are yet two new terms of which neither was used before this time. “Man” (a male human) in Hebrew is ish. “Woman” (a female human) in Hebrew is ish shah, feminine vs masculine. These additional terms, like “Man” or “human” meaning male or female do show a common foundation of identity and intimate connection between the two, as well as inherent God-designed distinction and complementarity. They may further reveal why a father’s love and affirmation of his daughter, and a husband’s love and affirmation of his wife are so vital to their sense of worth and well-being because man and woman are distinct and yet these relationships were meant to be interconnected in deep relationship.
2. The Sacrum – This is incredible! The Fibonacci sequence, named after the famous mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci, in the 13th century is the mathematical sequence of numbers that describes predictable patterns and proportions of everything in the universe. Also called the “Golden Ratio”
This part is not in your manual, but here is how it works. You start with a string of numbers, 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34. The next number in the string is the sum of the two previous numbers. : Then divide any number by its previous number and you get closer and closer to the golden ratio 1.618
The Fibonacci sequence denotes the incredible design of God in everything He created.
It is evident in nature, animals, astronomy, architecture, music, and even the human body.
It is used to maintain balance, strength, symmetry, beauty, and so much more.
This is evidence of the incredible order in all creation, artistically designed by a creative and intelligent God.
Even our DNA and the shape of a preborn baby.
a. Woman’s sacrum is formed like a beautiful CATHEDRAL, built with the Fibonacci sequence.
Unlike the man’s sacrum, it tilts forward, forming the likeness of the ceiling of a cathedral designed for the holy worship of an omnipotent God. It is under this ceiling that a sacred pre-born child is formed in her mother’s womb.
b. The sacrum is important in the body. It:
i. provides a strong FOUNDATION for the pelvis.
ii. forms an archway in the female pelvis to hold the uterus.
iii. provides STABILITY for the body’s core.
iv. acts as a platform for the spinal column when sitting
c. The word sacrum is a Latin word that means “holy.” The sacrum can be seen for what is holy and SACRED in God’s eyes. The name of this part is not a coincidence. Think about that in spiritual terms and the holy purpose necessary for this part of the body.
3. Ovaries – Ovaries are the female gonads or reproductive glands that contain the ova (eggs) and the hormones, estrogen and progesterone, that regulate female sex characteristics. They are the counterpart to the male testicles and each approximately the size of an almond.
Early in the development of a preborn girl, she already has around six million immature eggs.
These eggs reduce over time, and she is born with 1 million to 2 million immature eggs, divided between her right and left ovaries.
Most of these immature eggs die off, with about 400,000 of them remaining at puberty.
In essence, a girl is born for her most sacred of roles – to become a mother.
All that remains for her to be prepared for the miraculous creation of offspring is development of her body as she grows into a young woman.
Depending on a woman’s life experience she may not desire to be a mother, but it explains part of the emotional pain those who do but cannot conceive or carry a child or that of a woman who has lost a child to the deception of abortion.
a. The process of the woman’s menstruation cycle begins in her BRAIN with the hypothalamus releasing a hormone that signals the pituitary gland to release another hormone which travels through her bloodstream to her ovaries.
This triggers a follicle (small egg-containing sac) to develop into a mature egg and begins the follicular phase of her cycle. The follicle produces estrogen which gradually increases and peaks a day before ovulation. This peak in estrogen helps prepare the uterus for the possible conception and growth of a baby. It also signals the brain that the egg has matured. The pituitary gland then releases a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), initiating the second phase of the menstrual cycle, the luteal phase, which lasts 12-16 days. About 24-36 hours after the LH surge, the mature egg breaks out of the ovary and is released into the fallopian tube. This is ovulation. Meanwhile, the follicle also releases progesterone which helps thicken her uterine lining and makes it sticky to prepare it for a fertilized egg to be implanted there.
b. There is a SIX-day window of fertility in which an egg can be fertilized, from five days before ovulation to one day after.
This is because sperm can live up to five days.
According to Dr Tiffany Jones at flo.health, “Following ejaculation, sperm have to swim a mighty journey. They need to travel from the vagina, through the cervix, into the uterus, and finally into the correct uterine tube to locate the egg — no mean feat. All in all, this encompasses a distance of 15 to 18 cm and is’ a very long way for a sperm to swim!’”
Only around 200 sperm, out of around 300 million, reach the egg. The sperm encounter challenges along the way, including cervical mucus that can bind or trap them. Those that make it through the cervix travel to either the left or right uterine tube, giving them a 50/50 chance of finding an egg.
In her words, the winning sperm could arrive five days before ovulation, hang around for the event, and penetrate her egg before sperm that may arrive on the scene that day have a chance.
Sort of like some people arrive at a concert days ahead of time, and camp out, to have a chance at the best seat!
They must be strong and determined.
There is also recent evidence that the egg chooses the sperm, not the other way around.
And of course, when the sperm penetrates the egg and fertilization takes place, there is a spark of light!
Fallopian Tubes (this may not be in your manual) – determine pH levels providing proper environment for fertilization. They are also the passageway that moves the ovum to the uterus.
c. Because preborn girl babies already have approximately 6 million immature eggs early in development in the womb, when a woman carries a female child in her womb, she is also carrying the eggs of her GRANDCHILDREN. The next generation is already in place.
d. In Genesis 17:16, God told Abraham regarding Sarah, ”I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”
I love how God endorses the unique role of women in childbearing as He blesses Sarah to be the mother of nations!
The curse given to the serpent in Genesis 3 does not say “I’ll put enmity between you and the man,” but “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He [the woman’s offspring] shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.”.
Could this have to do with the mitochondria?
e. MITOCHONDRIA is the energy center of our cells. Mitochondrial DNA fibers contains just 37 of up to 25,000 protein-coding genes in our body. It used to be believed that DNA only resided in the nucleus of our cells.
f. Mitochondrial DNA can be traced back to EVE. All females [error in book says “We all”] share her mitochondrial DNA, but men do not normally pass theirs to their offspring. When they do, health issues result.
Nuclear DNA comes from both parents.
Mitochondrial DNA is only passed through the mother.
While biblical genealogy records list only the father’s names, in order for Eve’s seed to be what is passed on generation after generation, IF it is through the mitochondrial DNA as I propose, then it was passed through Eve, passing her mitochondrial DNA to her daughter, who passed it to her daughter, and so on generation after generation, until it was passed to Mary who passed it to Jesus who brought a fatal wound to the serpent with His death on the cross and resurrection.
Adam and Eve’s daughters passed this mitochondrial DNA down to all generations to the present, through the women. spiritual terms and the holy purpose necessary for this part of the body.
4. Uterus/Womb – The Hebrew word for womb (“rechem”) comes from the Hebrew root word, “racham”, meaning COMPASSION or mercy. This is no coincidence.
a. Two Hebrew words for womb: “beten” = physical womb; which indicates that we were formed in compassion and were to come forth in compassion. Hebrew Word Lessons website gives clarity: If Yeshua was the Great Compassion He had to come THROUGH the womb [“rechem”].
Some places in Scripture use both terms.
Job 31:15 says “Did not He who made me in the [“beten” physical] womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the “[rechem”] [compassion] womb?
God’s creative power was shown using the Hebrew word womb [“rechem”] four times in the book of Job.
Jeremiah 1:5 – Yahweh’s word to Jeremiah is “Before I formed you in the [“beten” physical] womb I knew you; and before you came forth out of the [“rechem” compassion] womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.
First, Yahweh made and formed within the womb-place [“beten”] and then He fashioned, sanctified, ordained us with womb-compassion [“rechem”]. He put the body together and then gave it LIFE because He has compassion on His creation!
The womb is meant to be a place of compassion and mercy, not rejection and abandonment.
In Exodus 33:19, God shows this term for mercy is a powerful feminine imagery when He said, “I will show mercy (“racham” compassion womb) on whom I will show mercy (“racham” compassion womb)”.
An important side note: The ratio of length to width of her uterus when a woman is in her peak fertility is measured 1.6* – like the Fibonacci sequence.
b. The womb is the STRONGEST muscle in human body – it only exists in women.
c. When a woman sees her womb in this light, her sacrum as holy and sacred, and her body as an instrument of righteousness (Rom 6:13), fornication is UNTHINKABLE, as is abortion.
5. Cervix – Lower end of the uterus that acts as a doorway between body of the uterus and the vagina
Before giving birth it forms an “Oooh” and afterward it forms a “SMILE.”
6. Vagina (Hebrew – ‘sheath’) – often misused word as all the lower female sexual parts, which is incorrect. Passageway for menses, sperm, offspring.
7. Vulva (Latin = ‘wrapper, covering’) – Proper name for EXTERNAL female genitalia. Covers and protects against pathogens entering the body. Consists of multiple parts, including the visible part of the clitoris, the urethra, hymen, and perineum, and several other parts.
8. Clitoris
It is made of same erectile tissue found in penis
It is the counterpart to the male penis but has only one function: pleasure, as opposed to the penis which performs three purposes.
The entire organ is larger than male penis
Nerves go up to emotional part of brain
God cares about the pleasure a woman has in married sex to give her one part dedicated to that purpose.
The complete organ was just discovered in the late 90’s and not fully mapped until 2005 by Dr. Helen E. O’Connell!
It is a much bigger part than originally thought.
9. Woman is not the inverse of man or second sex, but the COUNTERPART expression of humanity designed to bring relational intelligence, compassion, justice, and spiritual connection.
There is a Roman saying, and I am not endorsing it! “All men should have a concubine for pleasure, a wife for procreation, and a mistress for adventure.” Every man should know that depending on how he treats his wife, she is capable of being all three in a loving relationship with an empowering husband.
10. DNA from a child in a woman’s womb, made up of half her DNA and half from the father, remains in the mother’s body for life. This is called MICROCHIMERISM. No wonder there is such a bond between mothers and children!
Mothers carry in their bodies the DNA of all our children!
No wonder there is such a deep loss for her with miscarriage, abortion, or the death of a born child!
Microchimerism has to do with the presence of cells of one individual in another genetically distinct individual.
A study was done in 2005 that found male microchimerism (DNA) was frequent in women without sons.
There is speculation that this could be from abortion, miscarriage, a vanished male twin or simply having sexual intercourse.
Male DNA from sperm could possibly remain in a woman the rest of her life. In our culture of promiscuity, THAT IS HORRIFYING!
Remember what God said in Genesis 2:24 “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh”? Perhaps there is more to the “one flesh” concept than we once thought!
