WHY SHE'S CALLED: *WOMAN*

 

GENESIS 2:23
 

[NKJV]

And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”
 

[AMPC]

Then Adam said, This [creature] is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of a man.



The three things Adam called her was directly related to three things Adam called himself or his body parts, in this Bible verse above. The lesson is this,
 

"Whatever the man was saying to or saying about his wife, he was relating to himself; whatever the man was doing to her he was directly or indirectly doing to his own self or his own body."
 

In the Bible verse above, Adam called her by three, 3, titles; but out of the three titles, only one title was a general title for her.
 

**1** When Adam called her "Bone," he also mentioned "of my bones:" This means whatever he will do to her will be counted as what he will do to his own bones. This title, "Bone of my Bones" is not a general title any other man or spirit being can call her, except Adam (her husband) alone can call her this title.
 

**2** When Adam called her "Flesh," he also mentioned "of my flesh:" This means whatever he will do to her will be counted as what he will do to his own flesh. This title, "Flesh of my Flesh" is not a general title any other man or spirit being can call her, except Adam (her husband) alone can call her this title.
 

Implication of these two titles above means a man who loves his wife loves his own body (flesh and bones), and the man who hates or abuses his wife hates and abuses his own body. As it is written,
 

[Ephesians 5:28-32] — "So men ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord loves the church: For we are members of His Body, of His Flesh, and of His Bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."
 

**3** When Adam called her "Woman," he also mentioned "taken out of Man:" This means whatever he will do to her will be counted as what he will do to himself as a Man. This was both the first time Adam called himself "Man" because he called his wife "Woman." This title, "Woman" is a general title every one can call her,  even if one is not her husband such one can call her "Woman" because she was taken out of "Man" in general sense without being particular or specific about which Man it was.
 

Infact, Adam said in the Bible verse above, "She shall (should generally) be called, "Woman," which is a title that suggests she's offspring of a Man.
 

The "Woman" is like the words "Son of man" or "Daughter of man:" They all refer to offspring of man. Actually, "Woman" means "Taken out of man;" the offspring of man that was taken out of man or caught out of man. This is different from "Come out of man (son or daughter)" because she did not just come out like a daughter, but was taken out or snatched out of a man by external Force (God).
 

However, not the same man for every woman. Each woman has a different man she was taken out of, relative to another woman. So one woman is different from another woman, answerable to a different man. If you put two or more of them together, they become "Women" or "Taken out of Men (not man)."
 

A woman's reference to the man she's taken out from is not her father, for she's his daughter; but just the fact that she exist as a female of man means there's a single man that has something already taken out of him that will be completed when he marries her and the two become one body in completion again. Therefore, it's when a woman is married and bears the name of her husband as her surname that the reference would be fully defined as her husband is the man she's taken out from because he's the one to whom she's returned in restitution or restoration of God called "Marriage." Marriage is basically restitution and institution.


So the first two titles Adam called her were "Possessive," showing she belongs to him alone; while the third or general title he said "She shall be called" by others beside himself was a "Collective" title or term. The latter was more like a formal way of addressing her, but the former means she's is Adam's Wife.
 

You see how "Naming Ceremony" became "Wedding:" Adam just conduct his own wedding in the presence of God even before declaring that others shall call her "Woman."
 

** Was there a third party or priest to declare/decree them "Man and Wife?" No; for Adam himself declared her "Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" which is greater than another man declare them two "Man and wife."
 

** Was there any wedding dresses or wedding costumes? No; for the man and his wife were naked and were without reproach.
 

** Were there Witnesses to the marriage? No other human being were there but God and the heavens; and behold thousands of generations after, people witnessed Adam and Eve were truly married and by them was the foundation + institution of Marriage.
 

That was the Wedding — The First two Possessive Titles He declared and claimed over her, which could not be argued or disputed in any realm or generation, having full ownership and evidence of his entitlement, possession or ownership of her. It's like a man declaring publicly and laying claim over a property that is undisputably his by his own resources and gift of God. A man's wife is basically the man's property, which is why making sure she's fully paid for and rightfully acquired are all that matter most to any wedding in God's Sight.
