Female Beauty in combination with God Almighty: Read and what's your view
(1) It leads to the defeat of enemies in an exceptional way always. Beauty combined with prayers and following the commandments of God moved mountains for Judith and her people through her in the Holy Bible.
According to Judith 13: 15-16
'SHE THEN TOOK THE HEAD OUT OF THE FOOD BAG AND SHOWED IT TO THE PEOPLE, "HERE," SHE SAID, "IS THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES, THE GENERAL OF THE ASSYRIAN ARMY, AND HERE IS THE MOSQUITO NET FROM HIS BED, WHERE HE LAY IN A DRUNKEN STUPOR. THE LORD HAS USED A WOMAN TO KILL HIM. AS THE LORD LIVES, I SWEAR THAT HOLOFERNES NEVER TOUCHED ME, ALTHOUGH MY BEAUTY DECEIVED HIM AND BROUGHT HIM TO HIS RUIN. I WAS NOT DEFILED OR DISGRACED; THE LORD TOOK CARE OF ME THROUGH IT ALL.'
(2) Beauty combined with God makes you shine out better amongst your peers, most especially, your female peers. You could get unexpected favor from unexpected persons or places. Even if you decide to serve God in secret, He will still elevate and uplift you at His own time as God's time is the best. Waiting on the Lord and not being in a hurry while trusting only your beauty is better.
Note that: The Holy Bible says King Xerxes still had other women asides from his Queen Vashti who was dismissed from being his Queen due to the fact that she misbehaved because of her immense outer beauty. God still touched the King's adviser to tell the King to choose from outside the palace at that time and Esther, a devoted woman of God, was located and brought to the palace. Firstly, she found favor in the man called Hegai that was in charge of the King's women. Secondly, Hegai treated her and her seven palace assigned servants very well. Lastly, she found favor in King Xerxes even if she was not the first to go to him, she waited for her time and her high performance made the King fall in love with her and he instantly put the Queen's crown on her head which meant that he didn't need or want to check out any other woman or send for Esther later according to the normal prescribed/planned/organized procedures. God's favor on Esther made the King Xerxes break normal protocol just to make her his Queen. Isn't that wonderful?
According to Esther 2: 1-20
'LATER THE KING'S ANGER COOLED DOWN. ALTHOUGH HE NO LONGER MENTIONED VASHTI, HE KEPT THINKING ABOUT HOW HE HAD CONDEMNED HER. SO SOME OF THE KING'S ADVISERS SUGGESTED, "WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A SEARCH TO FIND SOME BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMEN OF GOOD CHARACTER? YOU CAN APPOINT OFFICIALS IN EVERY PROVINCE OF THE EMPIRE AND HAVE THEM BRING ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG VIRGINS TO YOUR HAREM HERE IN SUSA. PUT THEM IN THE CARE OF HEGAI, THE EUNUCH WHO IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR WOMEN, AND LET THEM BE GIVEN COSMETICS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY MAY NEED. THEN TAKE THE YOUNG WOMAN YOU LIKE BEST AND MAKE HER QUEEN IN VASHTI'S PLACE." THE KING THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD ADVICE, SO HE FOLLOWED IT. THERE IN SUSA LIVED A JEW NAMED MORDECAI SON OF JAIR; HE WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN AND WAS A DESCENDANT OF KISH AND SHIMEI. HE WAS AMONG THE CAPTIVES WHOM KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF BABYLONIA HAD TAKEN INTO EXILE FROM JERUSALEM. MORDECAI WAS THE GUARDIAN OF ESTHER, THE DAUGHTER OF HIS UNCLE AMINADAB. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN, AND AFTER THE DEATH OF HER PARENTS, MORDECAI BROUGHT HER UP UNTIL SHE WAS GROWN. WHEN THE KING HAD ISSUED HIS NEW PROCLAMATION, MANY YOUNG WOMEN WERE BEING BROUGHT TO SUSA, AND ESTHER WAS AMONG THEM. SHE TOO WAS PUT IN THE ROYAL PALACE IN THE CARE OF HEGAI, WHO HAD CHARGE OF THE HAREM. HEGAI LIKED ESTHER, AND SHE WON HIS FAVOUR. HE LOST NO TIME IN BEGINNING HER BEAUTY TREATMENT OF MASSAGE AND SPECIAL DIET. HE ASSIGNED SEVEN YOUNG WOMEN SPECIALLY CHOSEN FROM THE ROYAL PALACE TO SERVE HER, AND HE TREATED HER AND HER SERVANTS WELL. NOW, ON THE ADVICE OF MORDECAI, ESTHER HAD KEPT SECRET THE FACT THAT SHE WAS JEWISH. EVERY DAY MORDECAI WOULD WALK TO AND FRO IN FRONT OF THE COURTYARD OF THE HAREM, WATCHING TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HER. THE REGULAR BEAUTY TREATMENT FOR THE YOUNG WOMEN LASTED A YEAR: MASSAGES WITH OIL OF MYRRH FOR SIX MONTHS AND WITH BEAUTY CREAMS AND COSMETICS FOR SIX MORE. AFTER THAT, EACH GIRL WAS HANDED OVER TO THE PERSON APPOINTED TO CONDUCT HER FROM THE HAREM TO THE PALACE, AND SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE KING. SHE WOULD GO THERE IN THE EVENING, AND THE NEXT MORNING SHE WOULD BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER HAREM AND PUT IN THE CARE OF HEGAI, THE EUNUCH IN CHARGE. SHE WOULD NOT GO TO THE KING AGAIN UNLESS HE ASKED FOR HER BY NAME. THE TIME CAME FOR ESTHER, THE DAUGHTER OF AMINADAB THE UNCLE OF MORDECAI, TO GO TO THE KING. SHE HAD DONE EVERYTHING THAT HEGAI HAD ADVISED, AND SHE WAS ADMIRED BY EVERYONE WHO SAW HER. SO IN XERXES' SEVENTH YEAR AS KING, IN THE TWELFTH MONTH, THE MONTH OF ADAR, SHE WAS BROUGHT TO THE KING. HE FELL IN LOVE WITH ESTHER, WHO PLEASED HIM MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS, AND HE PLACED THE QUEEN'S CROWN ON HER HEAD. THEN THE KING GAVE A WEEK-LONG BANQUET FOR ALL HIS ADVISERS AND ADMINISTRATORS TO CELEBRATE HIS MARRIAGE TO ESTHER. HE ALSO GRANTED A REDUCTION OF TAXES FOR THE WHOLE EMPIRE. MEANWHILE MORDECAI HAD BEEN APPOINTED TO A HIGH ADMINISTRATIVE POSITION. AS FOR ESTHER, SHE HAD STILL NOT LET IT BE KNOWN THAT SHE WAS JEWISH. MORDECAI HAD TOLD HER NOT TO TELL ANYONE, AND SHE OBEYED HIM IN THIS, JUST AS SHE HAD OBEYED HIM WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL UNDER HIS CARE. SHE CONTINUED TO WORSHIP GOD AND CARRY OUT GOD'S COMMANDS, WITHOUT ABANDONING HER JEWISH WAYS.'
(3) When you are still strong enough to misbehave, that is the best time to choose and remember God, our Creator as your real and ultimate owner.
According to Ecclesiastes 12: 1-8
'SO REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR WHILE YOU ARE STILL YOUNG, BEFORE THOSE DISMAL DAYS AND YEARS COME WHEN YOU WILL SAY, "I DON'T ENJOY LIFE." THAT IS WHEN THE LIGHT OF THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE STARS WILL GROW DIM FOR YOU, AND THE RAIN CLOUDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY. THEN YOUR ARMS, THAT HAVE PROTECTED YOU, WILL TREMBLE, AND YOUR LEGS, NOW STRONG, WILL GROW WEAK. YOUR TEETH WILL BE TOO FEW TO CHEW YOUR FOOD , AND YOUR EYES TOO DIM TO SEE CLEARLY. YOUR EARS WILL BE TOO DEAF TO THE NOISE OF THE STREET. YOU WILL BARELY BE ABLE TO HEAR THE MILL AS IT GRINDS OR MUSIC AS IT PLAYS, BUT EVEN THE SONG OF A BIRD WILL WAKE YOU FROM SLEEP. YOU WILL BE AFRAID OF HIGH PLACES, AND WALKING WILL BE DANGEROUS. YOUR HAIR WILL TURN WHITE; YOU WILL HARDLY BE ABLE TO DRAG YOURSELF ALONG, AND ALL DESIRE WILL HAVE GONE. WE ARE GOING TO OUR FINAL RESTING PLACE, AND THEN THERE WILL BE MOURNING IN THE STREETS. THE SILVER CHAIN WILL SNAP, AND THE GOLDEN LAMP WILL FALL AND BREAK; THE ROPE AT THE WELL WILL BREAK, AND THE WATER JAR WILL BE SHATTERED. OUR BODIES WILL RETURN TO THE DUST OF THE EARTH, AND THE BREATH OF LIFE WILL GO BACK TO GOD, WHO GAVE IT TO US. USELESS, USELESS, SAID THE PHILOSOPHER. IT IS ALL USELESS.'
(4) When you are a beautiful lady/woman and God is in you, your male spouse or husband will see an undeniable love in you whether he appreciates and/or acknowledge it or not because God is Love.
According to Song of songs 1: 15
'HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE , MY LOVE, HOW YOUR EYES SHINE WITH LOVE!'
(5) A woman's beauty is cool, nice and wonderful for the eyes to behold but the inner beauty which God's attributes/the fruits of the Holy Spirit blesses her with, makes her outer beauty exceptional amongst other women. It is the Almighty God that lives in you as a beautiful woman that can give you the Grace to talk to your good husband kindly and gently, and, most especially, to support and encourage him too. Women are in a very competitive zone with their fellow women for a man because men have to carefully choose their bride/wife as the Holy Bible says.
According to Sirach 36: 21-24
'A WOMAN HAS TO TAKE ANY MAN AS A HUSBAND, BUT A MAN MUST CHOOSE HIS WIFE CAREFULLY. A WOMAN'S BEAUTY MAKES A MAN HAPPY; THERE IS NO FAIRER SIGHT FOR THE HUMAN EYE TO SEE. IF THE WOMAN IS KIND AND GENTLE IN HER SPEECH, HER HUSBAND IS THE MOST FORTUNATE OF MEN. WHEN A MAN MARRIES , HE GETS THE FINEST THING HE WILL EVER HAVE - A WIFE TO HELP AND ENCOURAGE HIM.'
(6) Outer Beauty attracts both good and unworthy men whether rich or poor at the same time but beautiful ladies/women still need to pray and acknowledge God for Him to save them even when all hope seems to be lost in a wicked frame up and any other ugly situation in this life. As a woman, in all you do, choose God and His good ways without a second thought. Always fear God, not man. He will always send you helpers if and when you need them as a true child of God Almighty.
(a) The Two Judges who framed and wrongly convicted innocent Susanna were very horrible and useless men.
Note that:
(I) As a woman, you don't need to die or lose God because of lying, useless, inconsiderate, worthless, marriage wrecking and wicked men like these two guilty Judges as described in the Book of Susanna. Prayers (whether sorrowful or not) to God Almighty is the key to the solution for reducing such evil men to absolute zero/nothing.
(II) The older men who should lead by example for the younger men to learn from are actually the worst of all sexual perverts. Instead, the good younger men are now the ones trying to teach the older ones how to behave well with women. What a stupid way to live a life!!! Great caution is highly recommended for all beautiful women, both old and young.
According to Susanna 1: 1-26
'IN BABYLON THERE LIVED A MAN NAMED JOAKIM, WHO WAS MARRIED TO SUSANNA, DAUGHTER OF HILKIAH. SUSANNA WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND DEEPLY RELIGIOUS. HER PARENTS WERE DEVOUT JEWS WHO HAD BROUGHT UP THEIR DAUGHTER TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES. HER HUSBAND JOAKIM WAS VERY WEALTHY. LOVELY GARDENS SURROUNDED HIS HOUSE, AND THE OTHER JEWS OFTEN GATHERED THERE FOR MEETINGS, BECAUSE THEY ALL THOUGHT SO HIGHLY OF HIM. EVERYONE WHO HAD A LEGAL CASE TO PRESENT WOULD ALSO GO TO JOAKIM'S HOUSE, WHERE TWO JUDGES HELD COURT. THESE TWO LEADERS OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY HAD RECENTLY BEEN APPOINTED TO OFFICE. THEY WERE THE ONES ABOUT WHOM THE LORD SAID, "THERE IS WICKEDNESS IN BABYLON; JUDGES ARE FAILING TO GIVE GUIDANCE TO THE PEOPLE." EVERY DAY AT NOON, WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE LEFT FOR LUNCH, SUSANNA USED TO TAKE A WALK IN THE GARDENS. THE TWO JUDGES WERE SO ATTRACTED TO HER THAT THEY WOULD WAIT ABOUT AND WATCH FOR HER. THEY BECAME SO OBSESSED WITH THEIR DESIRE FOR HER THAT THEY LOST INTEREST BOTH IN PRAYER AND IN THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AS JUDGES. THEY EACH WANTED SUSANNA, BUT NEITHER TOLD THE OTHER HOW HE FELT, FOR EACH WAS ASHAMED TO ADMIT HIS LUST. SO DAY AFTER DAY THEY WATCHED EAGERLY TO CATCH SIGHT OF HER. ONE DAY AT NOON THEY SAID TO EACH OTHER, "IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH; LET'S GO HOME." SO THEY BOTH LEFT AND WENT THEIR SEPARATE WAYS, BUT SOON EACH ONE CAME BACK FOR A LOOK AT SUSANNA, AND BY ACCIDENT THEY MET EACH OTHER. AT FIRST EACH TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT HE WAS DOING THERE, BUT FINALLY THEY BOTH CONFESSED THEIR DESIRE FOR SUSANNA. THEY DECIDED TO WATCH FOR A TIME WHEN THEY MIGHT FIND HER ALONE. SO THEY KEPT WAITING FOR THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY. ONE DAY SUSANNA WENT INTO THE GARDEN AS USUAL WITH HER TWO SERVANT GIRLS. NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE, EXCEPT THE TWO JUDGES, WHO HAD HIDDEN AND WERE WATCHING SUSANNA. IT WAS VERY HOT AND SHE DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH. SO SHE SAID TO HER SERVANTS, "BRING ME SOME BATH OIL AND SOME PERFUME, AND LOCK THE GATES , SO THAT I WON'T BE DISTURBED. THE SERVANTS LOCKED THE MAIN GATES AND WENT OUT BY THE SIDE DOOR TO GET WHAT SUSANNA HAD ASKED FOR. THEY DID NOT NOTICE THE TWO MEN. AS SOON AS THE SERVANTS HAD LEFT, THE TWO JUDGES JUMPED OUT FROM THEIR HIDING PLACE, RAN TO SUSANNA, AND SAID TO HER, "THE GATES ARE LOCKED AND NO ONE WILL SEE US. WE ARE BURNING TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU, SO GIVE US WHAT WE WANT. IF YOU DON'T, WE WILL GO TO COURT AND SWEAR THAT WE SAW YOU SEND YOUR SERVANTS AWAY, SO THAT YOU COULD BE ALONE WITH A YOUNG MAN." "THERE IS NO WAY OUT," SUSANNA MOANED, "IF I GIVE IN TO YOU, I COULD BE PUT TO DEATH FOR ADULTERY. IF I REFUSE, YOU WILL STILL HAVE ME TRAPPED. BUT I WOULD RATHER BE YOUR INNOCENT VICTIM THAN SIN AGAINST THE LORD." SO SHE STARTED SCREAMING AS LOUD AS SHE COULD, AND THE TWO JUDGES BEGAN SHOUTING ACCUSATIONS, WHILE ONE OF THEM RAN AND UNLOCKED THE GATES. AS SOON AS THE SERVANTS IN THE HOUSE HEARD ALL THE NOISE, THEY RAN INTO THE GARDENS THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO SUSANNA. THE JUDGES TOLD THEIR STORY, AND THE SERVANTS WERE SHOCKED AND ASHAMED. SUCH A THING HAD NEVER BEEN SAID ABOUT SUSANNA.'
(b) Daniel who helped save Susanna was a good man. One of the reasons why Daniel got them easily by the power and grace of God was that even if they later wanted to say or appeal that studying and knowing tree was not their specialty, so, they could not recognize the type of tree, they could never go scot-free because one of these two wicked guilty judges said that the supposed tree under which they claimed that they saw Susanna having sex with a young man who was not her husband was a small tree while the other judge said the tree was a large tree. Daniel was truly a wise young man to come up with such a skillful and intelligent question by God's Heavenly Grace.
According to Susanna 1: 42-64
'THEN SUSANNA CRIED OUT IN A LOUD VOICE, "ETERNAL GOD, NOTHING CAN BE KEPT SECRET FROM YOU; YOU KNOW EVERYTHING BEFORE IT HAPPENS. HERE I AM ABOUT TO DIE, BUT YOU KNOW THAT I AM INNOCENT, THAT THESE MEN ARE LYING. WHY MUST I DIE?" THE LORD HEARD HER PRAYER AND LED A YOUNG MAN NAMED DANIEL TO SPEAK OUT, JUST AS SUSANNA WAS BEING TAKEN AWAY TO HER DEATH. HE SHOUTED, "I REFUSE TO BE A PARTY TO HER DEATH!" EVERYONE TURNED ROUND TO LOOK AT HIM AND ASKED, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" DANIEL STOOD UP BEFORE THEM AND SAID, "PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, HOW FOOLISH CAN YOU BE? ARE YOU GOING TO CONDEMN AN ISRAELITE WOMAN TO DEATH ON THIS KIND OF EVIDENCE? YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH. REOPEN THE CASE. THE TESTIMONY THESE MEN GAVE WAS A LIE." SO ALL THE PEOPLE HURRIED BACK TO WHERE THE TRIAL HAD TAKEN PLACE, AND THE OFFICIALS SAID TO DANIEL, "GOD HAS GIVEN YOU WISDOM BEYOND YOUR YEARS, SO COME AND JOIN US AND EXPLAIN TO US WHAT YOU MEAN." DANIEL SAID TO THEM, "SEPARATE THE TWO JUDGES, AND LET ME QUESTION THEM ONE AT A TIME." THEN DANIEL CALLED THE FIRST JUDGE AND SAID, "YOU WICKED OLD MAN, NOW YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR ALL THE SINS YOU HAVE COMMITTED. YOU HAVE BEEN GIVING UNJUST SENTENCES. YOU HAVE CONDEMNED THE INNOCENT AND RELEASED THE GUILTY, EVEN THOUGH THE LORD HAS SAID, 'DO NOT PUT AN INNOCENT PERSON TO DEATH.' NOW IF YOU REALLY DID SEE THIS COUPLE MAKING LOVE, TELL ME, WHAT TREE WERE THEY UNDER?" "UNDER A SMALL GUM TREE," HE ANSWERED. DANIEL SAID, "RIGHT! THAT LIE WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE. GOD'S ANGEL HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN ORDERS TO CHOP YOU IN TWO." THEN THE FIRST JUDGE WAS LED AWAY AND THE SECOND ONE WAS BROUGHT BEFORE DANIEL. "YOU ARE MORE LIKE A CANAANITE THAN A JEW," DANIEL SAID TO HIM. THIS WOMAN'S BEAUTY HAS WARPED YOUR JUDGEMENT AND LUST HAS CORRUPTED YOUR THINKING. YOU ARE USED TO HAVING YOUR WAY WITH WOMEN OF ISRAEL BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN AFRAID OF YOU, BUT HERE IS A JEWISH WOMAN, AND SHE WOULD NOT GIVE IN. NOW, TELL ME WHAT TREE YOU SAW THEM UNDER." "UNDER A LARGE OAK TREE, " HE ANSWERED. DANIEL SAID, "RIGHT! THAT LIE WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE; GOD'S ANGEL IS WAITING WITH HIS SWORD IN HIS HAND, READY TO CUT YOU IN TWO. THEN WE SHALL BE RID OF YOU BOTH." THEN ALL THE PEOPLE SHOUTED AND PRAISED GOD, WHO SAVES THOSE WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM. THEY TURNED AGAINST THE TWO JUDGES BECAUSE DANIEL HAD PROVED THAT THEY HAD LIED UNDER OATH. THE LAW OF MOSES STATES THAT PEOPLE WHO GIVE FALSE TESTIMONY SHALL RECEIVE THE SAME PUNISHMENT THAT THE ACCUSED PERSON WOULD HAVE RECEIVED. AND SO THE TWO JUDGES WERE PUT TO DEATH, AND THE LIFE OF AN INNOCENT WOMAN WAS SAVED. SUSANNA'S PARENTS, HER HUSBAND, AND ALL HER RELATIVES PRAISED GOD BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN PROVED INNOCENT OF THE CHARGES. FROM THAT DAY ON, DANIEL WAS HELD IN HIGH REGARD.'
