Why is there such a tremendous attack on masculinity today?
In order to answer this question, we must go to the Word of God - the source of all Truth.
According to Gen. 1:27 and 1 Cor. 11:7, man was created in the image and glory of God. Woman, on the other hand, was created for the glory of man.⠀
In the creation design, man represents God, while woman represents mankind. Our two genders are symbolic of the relationship between God and His people. Yahweh and Israel. Christ and the Church. One dominates, the other submits. One leads, the other follows. God is a patriarchal God.
But what we’re seeing today is a complete perversion of the Lord’s design. Women are elevated above men. They are the queens, the “boss babes,” the slayers. “I don’t need a man! I can do it all!” is their collective cry.
Masculinity now comes with a warning. “Toxic” is what they call it. Men are shamed, made to feel like perverse monsters because of the testosterone flowing through them. Their authority has been wrestled away.
Symbolically speaking, we have denigrated God (man), while elevating mankind (woman). It’s the Tower of Babel all over again.
When you get right down to it, this diabolical attack on the masculine nature is nothing other than humanity shaking their fist up at Heaven and screaming, “We don’t need You, God!”
Is it any wonder then, why masculinity is so despised?
