As your wisdom and experience are peaking, your traitorous body becomes a prison.”

“The curse on Satan was that his representative (the serpent) would physically crawl on the earth, but the greater curse was enmity between Satan and the woman. She will have an offspring who will defeat him (most importantly, his power) permanently. So, it stands to reason that Satan wants to get every culture to oppress women because she is his mortal enemy according to God. Man is also Satan’s enemy, but there is a peculiar emphasis on the enmity between Satan and woman. I think this is worth noting and returning to as we will see the mind-bending, horrific assaults on the shared dominion and personhood of women by not only the world, but by religious people. Satan loves power. He hates that humans were given power over the earth and does all that he can to usurp it. His first move against humans was to tempt them to sin and I believe his second move was to displace the woman’s co-dominion with the man.”

coming in. Moonlight, then sunlight.
