Divine Daughters of God – Isaiah 1

Divine Daughters of God – Isaiah 1

What is taught in the scriptures about women, by women, about their divine right to God’s power and their role in the end times? Select commentary below. 

Isa 1:2

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children.

-THE FAMILY: A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD 
Mary or Miriam = “their rebellion” -BlueLetterBible.org

Isa 1:5

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.                

The head is a symbol of God, as in the God head, which consists of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. But in Hebrew the heart represents the authority within. It reminds of Mary when it was said of her, “But Mary kept all the things, and pondered them in her heart.” –-Luke 2:19 

Isa 1:6

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

And again, tobacco is not for the body, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.

-D/C 89:8

Anciently a staff, branch and yoke shared a symbolic relationship with a bandage that was used to bind up a wound for healing. Those are all also symbols of authority.

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

-Mark 14:3

And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

-Luke 7:37-38

I find these connections above to wisdom (Prover 1-9 shows Wisdom to be a strong divine trait of a women, and of course Christ also) and women very intriguing. I also would like to note that in the accounts above about Mary anointing Jesus’s head and feet, she was rebuked not for the anointing, but rather for not giving of her substance to the poor.

 

Isa 1:17

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Judgement in Hebrew is more about balancing than it is about calling something good or evil. Seek balance. Balance or make up the difference for the fatherless.

Isa 1:23

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Reward can actually be another word for addiction. 

In Hebrew rebellious can take on a few meanings. It can stem from anti-authoritarianism, or it can be a rejection of moral standards. I suppose that both can be both positive or negative, depending on the intended use of the word.

Isa 1:30

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

-Rev 22:1-2

Not only is there a parallel between these two verses of leaves and water, Rev 22 is speaking symbolically of a woman’s monthly cycle. This is important because this is an example of the symbolic relationship women share with Jesus Christ, for they shed blood monthly, like Christ would shed his blood to atone for us. The relationship and bond that Christ shares with his sisters is worth pondering and considering for sure!
