Hi Doves,
"The desire of
women" in Daniel 11:37, is
referring to the God-
given desire for women to
be loved by their own
husbands.
Wives want
their husbands
to love them totally
with their spirit,
soul and body.
This is necessary
to prevent men from
falling in love with
themselves.
When men
really love their wives
the way the Lord intended,
it prevents men from
becoming proud, arrogant
selfish and deluded.
This is why Eve
was told,
"Your desire
shall be for your Husband"
(Gen.3:16)
The man of sin
may be married, he,
however will not give
himself to his wife. He
loves himself too much.
Many
christian men have
not really grasp the
importance of really
loving there wives.
In other words,
to love the wife is
to love the Lord Himself.
Why? because His flame is
in her.
In songs of
Solomon the love or
desire of a woman for
her own husband is
literally called "
A Flame of YAH, or Flame
of the Lord." (8:6)
Men may talk a
lot about how much they
love the Lord. How they
are doing one thing
or the other for
Him, while at the
same time neglecting their
wives. The reality is that
they really are in love
with themselves. They love
the praise and adoration
they get from
others.
It's the reason
why there is so much
divorce in the Church.
