Paul’s warning to the woman of the family; to maintain her spiritual
covering through submission to the authority of her husband.
The authority that the woman should have on her head is the authority of her husband.
Just as the women of the early church wore veils to show that they were married and submissive
to their husbands, so should Christian women of this day have an attitude of submission to their
husbands.
Demon spirits are always poised to take advantage of any disobedience to
Christ’s delegated authority in the family. The apostle Paul is warning women
that unless they have authority on their heads, they are vulnerable to attack by Satan.
In other words, unless they are obedient to their husbands, they will lose their covering of God’s protection.
