The answer to that question is given in the book of Proverbs in chapter 31: 10-31:
“10 Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household,
and a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff, and her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well, but you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.”
The virtuous woman described above is exactly what we all would like to be, isn’t she? This virtuous woman is a symbol for the bride of our Lamb, Yeshuah Christ, we commemorate at Passover!
And now, if we jump to the book of Revelation chapter 19: 7-9 and then in chapter 21: 9-27, we would be introduced to this famous bride and we should compare her with the description of the virtuous woman:
" 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of Elohim.”...
And now in chapter 21:
" 9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from Elohim, 11 having the glory of Elohim. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
The Glory of the New Jerusalem
22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord Elohim Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of Elohim illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything ]that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.”
If we are victorious over the present and dying world and over our carnal nature, whether we are women or men, we will become a living part of the body of this Lamb’s Lady!
Please remember why Yehoah created the woman: Just as Yehoah Elohim and his collaborator(s) made man in their image, Yehoah also created a woman so that Adam will not be alone as a human being on earth. Yehoah created the woman to help Adam as you can read in Genesis 2: 18:
"And the Yehoah Elohim said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. "
But I want to draw your attention on the meaning given by our Lord to the words master and servant by following the example given by Yeshuah , our Lord. Indeed Yeshuah is our Master but look how he is behaving with his servants according to John 13:
“13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”
Men or women, we must learn to follow the example of this virtuous woman so that the Lamb can trust us when we hopefully shall become his wife. We must always do good deeds to the Messiah by providing merrily his home with everything he needs.
We must be, as the Messiah was, servants of those who are our servants.
Day and night, we must contribute to an endless increase of the Kingdom.
We must use every part of our body to make them useful and creative.
In this regard, I would like to draw your attention to the duty we have to highlight the often hidden gift we have in us. A gift is a remarkable natural quality that sets us apart from others.
This innate quality, if we know how to make good use of it, can contribute to the good of human beings and our environment.
This is what the Jewish people, despite the often precarious conditions of their life during the diaspora, did during approximately two thousand years.
I want to repeat, it is a duty for every human being not only to discover his or her gifts but also to develop them to the benefit of humanity and to move it forward, if possible, in the right direction.
Gifts are to be found in all areas of human activity, like science, arts, agriculture, wisdom or philosophy, inventiveness or creativity, authority, organization, manual work, speech or writing and so on.
We must make every effort to discover ou own gift(s) and develop them for the benefit his neighborhood even if they do not match our own tastes. Such gift(s) are given to us by the Lord and we are not allowed to despise them.
The Bible contains many examples of talented people making good use of their gift.
From the beginning already, Abel is a good shepherd who knows how to please his Creator by spontaneously offering him the firstborn of his flock.
Shortly before the flood, Noah is a shipbuilding genius capable of building a gigantic arch that, in terms of size, has nothing to envy to today’s giants of the seas.
Abraham's gift of management enabled him to raise an army with his servants in a very short time and to defeat the all-powerful military coalition of his time, all this to free his family members. It is interesting to note that among the servants of Abraham are Egyptians, Chaldeans and Syrians among others.
Joseph, Jacob's favorite son, also knew how to put his gift as a good administrator of the property of his masters. After the failed attempt of his assassination by the majority of his brothers, he is sold as a slave in Egypt. And there, wherever he goes, he manages in a remarkable manner the property of his masters, first the one of Potiphar, then the jail where he is prisoner and finally, he was a brillant aide-de-camp to the Pharaoh of Egypt ruling all the country.
Women are also at the center of the story at key events in the history of the children of Israel.
Rahab, for instance, a Jericho prostitute, has implemented her enlightened courage to save the Israelite spies at the risk of her life. She had one of the finest rewards, for in marrying Salmon she became the ancestor of King David and the Messiah.
It is the same with Ruth the Moabite endowed with a great love for her neighbor, here in this case for her widowed mother-in-law like her. Ruth agrees to leave her country and her family to follow her mother-in-law and provide for all her needs. Bravely, not counting her hours, she will participate in the hard work of the fields to bring her food. Here too, his reward will be to be the great-grandmother of King David.
Unfortunately, there are also examples of people misusing their gift for their loss.
Cain is the contrary example of Abel, he could have used his farmer's gift but instead he worked the land carelessly and showed no respectful gratitude to his Creator. Instead of taking into account the warnings given to him, he is going to jealous his brother even to the point of murder. It also reminds of the attitude of most of Joseph's brothers, the ancestors of the Children of Israel!
Aaron, Moses' elder brother, is another example of a person who misused the gift he had. Aaron is indeed an excellent speaker who has many times spoken the messages and injunctions of Adonai before the Pharaoh of Egypt. But from the beginning of the desert crossing, he let his pride guide him and became an abominable actor in the diversion of the Children of Israel from their Lord by making them worship the golden calf he had helped to make. .
Now let's talk about the prophet Daniel and his use of his gifts that make him a truly unique being.
The gifts of the prophet Daniel gave him a most remarkable attitude to his entourage during his captivity under the Babylonian and Persian empires.
Wisdom and science are two of Daniel's gifts. He took advantage of the worst enemy of his people, the king of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar, destroyer of Jerusalem and its Temple and murderer of a large part of the Jewish population of the time. But despite this, Daniel has always acted towards this despot in a faithful and respectful way by revealing to him the meaning of his dreams and, at the risk of his life, by making him constructive criticism as to his conduct. Moreover, despite the absolute power of Nebuchadnezzar who killed his servants for a yes or a no, Daniel never deviated from the laws and commandments of Adonai although they were often in direct opposition to the pagan laws of Babylon.
Daniel did not change his conduct as a faithful servant when power passed into the hands of kings of the Persian empire.
Let's play !
What about each of us? Let's find out and discover our hidden talents. Once discovered, let's implement them for the good of those around us. Let's invest our efforts to develop them. Contrary to the attitude of Cain or Aaron, do not let ourselves be blinded by our pride or our selfish desires but make every effort to serve all our surroundings with altruism.
We must never fear and we must always be confident in the future.
Our future husband will be proud when he is honored by all creation!
Wisdom will always be in our field of vision and we will beget children in the image of our Lord and his body that we are.
And above all, we will have as the virtuous woman the fear of Jehovah, our Father and the father of the Messiah.
