If we can see how these relate one to another, we shall be able to come to an understanding of some wondrous truths which, heretofore, may have been hidden from our eyes. God is the head of Christ, Christ is the head of man and man is the head of the woman. In the universe Satan, the usurper, failed to recognize the Headship of God and fell. In the garden, the woman failed to recognize the headship of Adam and fell, pulling the entire human race down with her, even as Satan drew a vast number of angels with him in the original fall. Man is the glory of God.

She teaches with her veiled head that man is in subjection to God, and that his glory is out of sight, veiled, hidden - only God s glory is to be seen.
