Gender Equality References, Part III
*******
Humans in the tabernacle of God with men in the latter days must reflect the divine in a gender-equality society, the qualities of both masculine and feminine equally valued in each individual.
A few years ago, an attorney friend sent an email with an attached article about so many women during World War II who had built U.S. bombers and tanks, who had replaced the men shipped overseas to use all this equipment. From that point on, even to today, women have had doors opened to them beyond the former options of being a nurse, a secretary, a teacher—-not that these traditional positions were/are not important—-but that women should have the same employment choices and equal rights that follow in life as men. His friend sees an explosion in women’s rights, beginning in 1941 with the war, as possible fulfillment of Daniel’s “blessing” prophecy concerning 1335 years.
An expansion of women’s rights after 1941 certainly is a blessing for women (actually, for everyone) and may be a consequence of Daniel’s prophesized blessing and in consonance with the feminine aspect of the Second Advent as unfolded in Jeremiah, Micah, and Revelation.
This Daughter of Zion takes away the masculine concept of a mighty warrior at the Second Advent and adds a feminine tone, a feminine sense of toughness, to the commander at the Second Advent.
