The Strange Woman

Prov 2:16-20  They will deliver you from the strange woman, the stranger who flatters with her words,  (17)  who forsakes the guide of her youth and forgets the covenant of her Elohim.  (18)  For her house bows down to death, and her paths to the dead.  (19)  All who go in to her do not return, nor do they take hold of the paths of life,  (20)  in order that you may walk in the way of good and keep the paths of the righteous.

This is a continuum or Prov 2:11 explaining that "They", Judgment and Understanding shall deliver you from the strange woman. Judgment and Understanding comes from Wisdom and Knowledge that comes into the heart and that is basically YHVH's Word and His Truth that enlighten you and gives you the ability to judge and understand. YHVH's Word will enable you to discern between good and evil as symbolized by the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden.

Judgment is the word " mezimah" that means; discretion, a plan (evil), intent, witty invention, lewdness, mishievous, wickedly, thought (evil). 

Discretion is the ability to discern between what is correct and proper, and what is evil and bad. This word has mostly negative meanings and describes the evil intentions, plans, thoughts and intent of an evil person. Discretion is the ability to recognize evil and avoid being entrapped by it.

Discretion and Understanding shall expose the wicked plans of the strange woman who's intent is to entangle you with her evil, mischievous inventions. Who is the strange woman and what does she represent?

Starange woman is the word "zoor" that is a primitive root that means; to turn asisde, foreigner, strange, profane, to commit adultery.

Where this word is first used is in Exo 29:33, in the consecration and sanctification of Aaron and his sons to serve as priests in the Tabernacle on behalf of Israel. This was done by offering a ram and place the blood on the tip of the ear, on the thumb of the right hand, on the great toe of the right foot. Then they ate the flesh of a ram with unleavened bread and no STRANGER may eat of it because it is holy. This is similar to the Passover where not "uncircumsised" STRANGER may eat of it because it is Holy. This shows us that a "stranger" is someone who is not set apart for YHVH's work and service making someone like this "unholy".

A woman is always figuratively speaking of a church or religious organization. YHVH refers to His people or priesthood as His Bride, a holy "woman" set apart for Himself. A "strange woman" would then be "unholy" people that do not serve YHVH but serve other gods instead. A "strange woman" is classified as a man made religious organization that is unholy, that is not consecrated and sanctified by YHVH.

Prov 2:17 describes the "strange woman" (false unholy religious organization) as people who served YHVH once but departed from His Covenant. They were once His Covenant people but went astray following the "Evil Man" and became part of the "Strange Woman". She was once the "Holy Bride of YHVH" but departed from His presence committing the "three deadly sins" of the "Evil Man"; "Lust of the flesh", "Covetousness and love of money/possessions" and the "Evil tongue".

Prov 2:16 - This Strange Woman became the instrument of the "Evil Man" (Lucifer) working among YHVH's people, luring them into her nets and entangles them with her sin. She uses flattery words to deceive YHVH's people and to get them to follow her becoming part of Her "Unholy Congregation". As I mentioned before, the woman represents a Religious Organization. The "strange woman" is a Religious Organization that looks holy, but is not.

People who are deceived by Her will think they are following and worshipping YHVH but will actually following and worshipping the "Evil Man", namely Lucifer. The one you worship is the one you obey. If you follow the ways of the "Evil Man", entrapped in the claws of the Strange Woman, then you are indirectly worshipping the "Evil Man" in his Religious System called the "Strange Woman".

What are the attributes of this false Religious System? We have touched on this in the section "Deliverance form the "Man of Evil" in the Last Days " when we looked at Eze 22:25-28 describing the False Prophets/Teachers who run this System. Y'shua warned us about this System and Her False Prophets that will deceive YHVH's people.

Mat 7:15  Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

They who go into Her will not return and they will not find the "Path of Life" that leads to Righteousness because of their spiritual blindness and bondage. The reason for this is that religious deception is one of the most powerful weapons Satan has to deceive YHVH's people; they think they are "ok" serving YHVH, but they are actually deceived, bound and entrapped. They are not able to discern the lie from the truth because they have limited knowledge and wisdom and do not know or study the Word of YHVH. They follow man made doctrines that tell them they are "ok", making them content with their faith but their lives are not representative of YHVH's Word and Character. Satan has then just where he wants them, obeying his doctrines, worshipping him while being entrapped in the "Strange Woman.

Is there hope, how can you break free form the entrapment of the Strange Woman? The Word teaches us that there is only on thing that can set you free, and that is the Truth; the truth about the System called the Strange Woman and the Truth of YHVH's Word, not man made doctrines.

Joh 8:32  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Never stop searching and always make sure that the Church you attend do things that are Biblical, so that you can follow the Truth and filter out man made doctrines. Ask YHVH to give you discernment so that you may know the Truth and distinguish between right and wrong, truth and lie. Study and know the Word, the whole Scripture that is very important, so that you will have the Knowledge and Wisdom to be able to discern and not be destroyed.

Hos 4:6  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being priest to Me. Since you have forgotten the Law of your YHVH, I will also forget your sons, even I.

Test every word that is preached from the pulpit, in Church and on TV, test it by the standard of the Word, within context, so that you may guard yourself from the claws of the Strange Woman and Her False Prophets. There are a lot of False Prophets and Teachers out there today and you need to know them and avoid them so that you may be protected from their cunning deceptions and doctrines. How do you know them? You will know them by their fruit.

Mat 7:16-17  You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?  (17)  Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
