Mockers of God often misinterpret this passage to mean that the first churches did not practice wearing a “sign of authority.” Why would Paul write all he wrote about the need for a covering and then say, “Gee fellas, never mind we don’t really practice this?”

Paul stated that whether in Rome, Athens, Spain, or Israel, in all the “churches of God” all the women wore coverings. Con­sider again that all these towns had different cultures and worldly traditions, yet Paul told the Corinthians that “we have no other practice” than that of coverings. Next time you are reading a news report from missionaries overseas notice how many photographs show women wearing coverings. In fact, many women visiting overseas from America are forced to wear a covering. Thankfully the American style of delusion hasn’t infiltrated everywhere yet. All those churches conducted worship in the “fitting way” God had intended.

But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. (1 Corinthians 14:40)

“But everything,” that is, everything, should be done in a way that God set down. The Word says our God is a God of order. Therefore there is a proper procedure for women to “pray or proph­ecy” while in church or in a group.

The sign of authority permits a women to “pray or prophesy” in church. Prophecy of course is not preaching and the praying is done only under the watchful eye of the men in church. When a women’s “head” is “uncovered” it is improper “for a woman to pray to God” in the church. You will need a good conscience and a sincere faith to be able to “judge for yourself.”1⁴

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? (1 Corinthians 11:13)

When a woman worships at church or even a home Bible study, she should wear her covering, or sign of authority, on her head. During this time, since men are in leadership, overseeing, and in positions of responsibility, the covering should remain. In this way she will reflect the heart of God and declare to men on earth and the angels in the heavens that she understands how to glorify God.

Reflecting God’s Glory

The covering does not cover the face, for that would cloud from view the glory of Christ. A covering on the head shows that a woman acknowledges that man is above her. She has someone above her in addition to God, for a woman has two above her, God and man, therefore she has two coverings. Long hair symbolizes woman’s sub­mission to man and a covering her submission to God. She does not cover her face because we have a greater covenant than the one Moses received. We each, with open faces, reflect the glory of the Lord.

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Unlike Moses whose glory faded, women continue to grow in God’s glory and plan.
