Another reason why the woman should be covered at the time of public worship is, because of the angels then present, 1Co 11:10 but lest on this account the woman should be treated with contempt by the man, the apostle observes, that they are not, and cannot be without one another and that they are from each other in different senses, and both from the Lord, 1Co 11:11,12, and then proceeds to other arguments, showing that women should not appear uncovered in the house of God: one is taken from the uncomeliness of it, which must be so judged by everyone, 1Co 11:13 and another is taken from nature and custom, and the contrary in men, which is disagreeable and shameful for, if, the dictates of nature, it is shameful in men to wear long hair, it must be comely and decent in women, and what is for their glory, to wear such hair, since it is their covering, 1Co 11:14,15. The reason why a man should be uncovered at such a time is, because he is the image and glory of God and the reason why the woman should be covered is, because she is the glory of the man, is made for his glory, and to be in subjection to him, of which the covering is a token, 1Co 11:7 and that she is so, is argued from the order of the creation, man being not of the woman, but the woman of the man, 1Co 11:8 and from the end of the creation, man being not for the woman, but the woman for the man, 1Co 11:9. ![]() And in order to make way for what he had on his mind to reprove them for, and admonish them about, he observes, that as God is the head of Christ, and Christ the head of every man, so the man is the head of the woman, 1Co 11:3 wherefore for him to appear, and join in public worship, with his head covered, is to dishonour his head, 1Co 11:4 as, on the other hand, for a woman to have her head uncovered in divine service, is to dishonour her head, it being all one as if her head was shaved, 1Co 11:5 wherefore it is concluded, that if it is a shame for her to be shaved or shorn, she ought to be covered when attending the worship of God, 1Co 11:6. He begins with an exhortation suitable to what he had said in the latter part of the preceding chapter, to follow him, as he followed Christ, 1Co 11:1 and praises them for their remembrance of him, and for the keeping the ordinances as they were delivered to them that is, as many of them, and as far as they did so, 1Co 11:2. This partial eclipse will be viewable in Europe, Asia, Australia, parts of North America and much of South Africa.Įach of the remaining meteor showers expected to peak this year will be most visible from late evening until dawn in areas without light pollution.In this chapter the apostle blames both men and women for their indecent appearance in public worship, and admonishes them how they should behave with the reasons of it and also corrects some abuses and irregularities among them, at, or before, the Lord's supper which leads him to give a particular account of that ordinance, of the nature, use, and design of it, and some directions about the performance of it, and attendance on it. Only part of the moon will pass into shadow as the sun, Earth and moon will not completely align. To avoid damage to the eyes while looking at the phenomenon, viewers should wear eclipse glasses.Ī partial lunar eclipse will also take place on October 28. The moon will appear smaller than the sun and encircled by a glowing halo. During the event, also called the “Ring of Fire,” the moon will pass between the sun and Earth at or near its farthest point from Earth. ![]() People across North, Central and South America will be able to see an annular solar eclipse on October 14. Here are the full moons remaining in 2023, according to the Farmers’ Almanac: Meanwhile, Mercury dances low along the eastern horizon before dawn. Gold-tinged Saturn and bright Jupiter rise in the east and appear high in the later hours, while Venus (one of the brightest objects visible in the night sky) shines before dawn. Several planets are also currently visible in the night sky, according to The Planetary Society. The hue is due to the thickness of Earth’s atmosphere near the horizon, which is greater than when the full moon is overhead, according to EarthSky. Many people associate the harvest moon with being orange in color as it begins to rise, but the same could be said of all full moons. Other harvest-celebrating traditions around this time include the Korean festival of Chuseok and the Japanese Buddhist holiday of Higan, both of which also celebrate the remembrance of ancestors, according to Royal Museums Greenwich. The supermoon is shown rising above Macquarie Lighthouse and the Sydney Opera House in Sydney on September 29.
