KINGDOM TRAINING: WEDNESDAY NIGHTS (LESSON 2) HER DESIRE/HIS RULE? GENESIS 3:16 Genesis 3:16: a verse which describes the consequence of the woman’s role in the fall into sin. In the first part of God’s judgment on the woman he declared that bearing children would now be painful and traumatic. Her primary life function would be full of toil. Let’s look at the second part of that judgment where God says “Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” Here God declares that the woman’s primary relationship to her husband–would also be disrupted. The marriage relationship, which was to be the central in family, in culture, in The Kingdom of God and Man (dominion). Marriage the very building-block of relationships of human beings, would also suffer the effects of the Fall. There are two things of importance here: first, what it means that a woman’s desire shall be for her husband, and second, what it means that he shall rule over her.
Her Desire First let’s look at what it means “Your desire shall be for your husband.” What is this desire? Some have taught that this is a kind of sexual desire, which is part of the consequence for a woman’s sin that she would have a sexual desire for her husband or a kind of abnormal sexual desire for him. Some people look to Song of Solomon where this word desire is used; there the woman says, “I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me.” (Son_7:10) That does speak of a kind of longing, a kind of sexual desire. “DISOVERING THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITHIN YOU” LUKE 17:21 MAGAZINE But this hardly sounds like a consequence for sin. Quite the opposite is true. A woman who feels sexual desire for her husband is blessed by God. This is a good desire, a desire a woman should long to have. So what else can it mean? This is a case where we can follow one of those great principles of interpreting the Bible and simply let a more clear passage help us interpret a less clear passage. When Moses wrote Genesis he gave us a very helpful way to understand what is meant by the woman’s desire. We need only look to (Genesis 4:6-7). Here Cain has had his offering rejected by God.
