Let us first find the Godhead in the Scripture.
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”(Genesis 1:1-2)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.”(John 1:1-2)
Hereby we know that God Is Three and God Is One, and that by God’s Word we are created in God’s Image, and that in God’s Word is life and the light of men.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
“Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him…”(Luke 3:21-22)
Hereby we know that the Spirit of God descended in a bodily shape like a dove, upon the Word of God in the body of a man. We see too a parallel in how a dove moved like wind across the waters in the times of Noah:
“And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
and the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.”(Genesis 8:10-12)
This forms a pattern in how God saves us through water into new life:
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit…
once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us…”(1 Peter 3:18, 20-21)
This baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God.
Some say, the Spirit of God is a woman; that as Eve is of Adam, the Spirit is of the Father. Let us go back to the beginning.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it”(Genesis 1:26, 27-28)
Here we have a mystery: first God creates man “in his own image… he him”, but then “male and female… he them”. Woman does not exist yet, so femaleness is produced after the Creation of the Image, and in the multiplicative effect of creating an Image of the Creator.
Let us now examine the Creation of Woman:
“And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field… and brought them unto Adam… but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
(Genesis 2:18-25)
Hereby we know God knows it is not good that man be alone; and that Woman was made by taking something out of Man, which was then brought to him to be a help. Hereby we know too that a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be married, and shall cleave unto his wife, and that they shall be one flesh. But we know that not every man marries, so how can this be?
As femaleness is produced after the Creation of the Image, and in the multiplicative effect of creating an Image of the Creator, Woman comes out of Man as the first Symbol — of his Relationship with God. Thereby was Eve really taken out of Adam, “bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh”, and thereby too are the words of God fulfilled in every man and woman, though first symbolically.
Here is Wisdom, known Sophia.
Let us find wisdom from its surest source. Many search prehistory, or the East, or Egypt, but God and all knowledgeable declare it known to Solomon.
“And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding... even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men… and his fame was in all nations round about. And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth”
(1 Kings 4:29-31, 34)
“And God said to Solomon… wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee… such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.”
(2 Chronicles 1:11-12)
Solomon is clear:
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:
And the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”(Proverbs 9:10)
Rightly we fear our Creator, who has created all things: “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain” (Isaiah 40:22)
Mere understanding of this begins a loving Relationship.
“Doth not wisdom cry?
And understanding put forth her voice?...
Receive my instruction, and not silver;
And knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than rubies;
And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Blessed is the man that heareth me…
For whoso findeth me findeth life,
And shall obtain favour of the LORD.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul”(Proverbs 8:1, 10-11, 34-36)
So fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, which is symbolized as a woman, our Relationship with God. And this woman is a builder:
“Wisdom hath builded her house,
She hath hewn out her seven pillars:
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;
She hath also furnished her table.
She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth
Upon the highest places of the city,
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
As for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Come, eat of my bread,
And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Forsake the foolish, and live;
And go in the way of understanding.”(Proverbs 9:1-6)
By heeding our Relationship with God, we enter into the house built by Wisdom, the Godly City, as in the Relation of Son to the Father:
“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way,
Before his works of old.
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
Or ever the earth was.”(Proverbs 8:22-23)
In the sacrifice of the Son we are justified of all things through faith, entering into God’s rest: the temple is already built. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither; as for him that wanteth understanding, let him commune with God, eating the bread and drinking the wine of Wisdom, at the table she has set. This we do in remembrance of the Son, in whom all the Scripture is fulfilled.
Many do not understand the Son. Let us turn to another classic Jewish error: calculating the Spirit of God as female, following after carnal pleasure and vain tradition.
--SHEKHINAH--
In the interest of fairness, everything in this section can be found on the Wikipedia page for Shekhinah.
The concept of Shekhinah is associated with the idea of the Holy Spirit for Jews, whether rabbinically or in Kabbalah.
From Wiki:
“In the post-temple era usage of the term shekhinah may provide a solution to the problem of God being omnipresent and thus not dwelling in any one place…
“Kabbalah associates the shekhinah with the female… The introduction of this idea was one of the most important and lasting innovations of Kabbalism… the feminine Jewish divine presence, the shekhinah, distinguishes Kabbalistic literature from earlier Jewish literature…
“The harmonious relationship between the female shekhinah and the six sefirot which precede her causes the world itself to be sustained by the flow of divine energy. She is like the moon reflecting the divine light into the world…
“The Shekhinah is seen as the feminine divine presence of God descended in this world.”
Wiki also claims Shekhinah may have propagated into Islam as an idea of God’s presence through questionable virtue of Semitic roots.
The word “Shekhinah” is not in the Bible, and is only found in the post-temple Rabbinic literature.
--END SHEKHINAH--
By associating the Spirit of God with “divine femininity”, Shekhinah mirrors the pagan traditions of all earthly religions, whose carnality is revealed in the need of SEX to pro-create, as if God is in need of such a thing. Man had Wisdom, female in mind, before Woman was formed; no need for an Earth-Spirit Mother.
Because these simple spiritualities appeal to the senses, we see too how they are in the history of fertility cults, and Sun worship, and beliefs that “Heavenly Father” and “Earthly Mother” need to be “Cosmically Balanced” for Creation to occur, and creating a Queen of Heaven and a Mother in God.
But the Word of God is clear — the Holy Spirit, the divine presence, is a MASCULINE PRINCIPLE ALONE:
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14:26)
“…I will send HIM unto you.
“And when HE is come, HE will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment…”(John 16:7-8)
Brethren, this is what it means to have life, and to be the light of men.
Nor shall we let any man of the world pollute our thinking when we have the spoken word of God Incarnate on the matter. God needs no Mother to beget the Son eternal, nor to make us in His Image.
THE BODY
By the grace of faith, and not through works, we receive the Holy Spirit. The mind is the seat of spiritual experience. Thus we become part of Christ’s Body, prepared as his bride, to be joined at his coming, symbolized as the woman of Wisdom in our relationship with God, having the mind of Christ. In this mind, the temple is built upon the surest corner stone.
That Word of God is a divider, sent into the Earth, sharper than any two-edged sword, rightly dividing the Truth from the spirit of error.
But in the earthly and carnal spirit of error, there is indiscriminate Oneness.
These are Legion; they that say the macrocosm is in the microcosm, that scriptures can be compared, that there is some prima materia underlying, that all exploded from One Point, and toward One Point will implode, that All Being Multidimensional, without distinction, the meeting of the darkness and the light; saying that all is equalized, cyclical, and so on.
Balancing a Masculine and a Feminine principle.
THE WOMAN
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”(Revelation 12:3-4)

Let us now come to the conclusion of the matter. We know that Woman came into the world from Man as Symbol of Man’s Relationship with God, and Wisdom; so Satan, desiring in every way to ape God, seeks relations as a Counterfeit Woman imparting false wisdom.
This is the strange woman of the Scripture, as known to Solomon:
“…at the window of my house
I looked through my casement,
And beheld among the simple ones,
I discerned among the youths,
A young man void of understanding,
Passing through the street near her corner;
And he went the way to her house,
In the twilight, in the evening,
In the black and dark night:
And, behold, there met him a woman
With the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
(She is loud and stubborn;
Her feet abide not in her house:
Now is she without, now in the streets,
And lieth in wait at every corner.)
So she caught him, and kissed him,
And with an impudent face said unto him,
I have peace offerings with me;
This day have I payed my vows.
Therefore came I forth to meet thee,
Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,
With carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning:
Let us solace ourselves with loves.”(Proverbs 7:6-18)
This is that same “Divine Feminine” that seduces men, that in old time was found among those of High Intellect and entrapped them in a Cosmic Wedding, that today through pharmakeia and sorcery traps many more in a Chemical Romance, that apes God, that delivers foolish treasures garbed as eternal wisdom, that Solomon describes acting like Wisdom with the difference that she has not built her house, and her waters are stolen, and her bread eaten in secret, and her lovers know not that the dead are with them:
“A foolish woman is clamorous:
She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
For she sitteth at the door of her house,
On a seat in the high places of the city,
To call passengers
Who go right on their ways:
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
And as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Stolen waters are sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
But he knoweth not that the dead are there;
And that her guests are in the depths of hell.”(Proverbs 9:13-18)
AND THE EARTH IS FILLED WITH MANY DEAD MEN WALKING
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Purify the waters of your mind, lest they be corrupted by the ever-intoxicating wine of the strange woman, whose false wisdom corrupts the world, and is of the earth, and is the flood sent from the mouth of the Dragon.
This is the Spirit of Sodom, of those who take X through the Root Chakra.
This is the spirit of those who build a counterfeit Temple to the god of their own Mind, who ape God’s designs and seek to be like Him, who create chaos to impose order, who think in a devouring Mother they have found God, who turn their Intellects to prostitutes; whose relationship with God follows the carnal, and the natural, and where the money goes.
These have the mind of a whore;
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH
and this too is the fashion of Artifice Official Intelligence.
This is the spirit of the mind of those who have a Relationship with Satan.
This is the mind of those who believe “profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith.”
Let no man think that he labors in building the Temple of God, for thereby did Solomon take many foreign wives, and seek after many signs, and thirst for foreign gods too.
“
and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. ”(Matthew 12:42)
This Wisdom of Christ is the living water of a mind kept chaste and pure to God, that springs forth from the Cross, that wells up within a man as a fountain to life everlasting.
The man that drinks but once of this water shall never thirst again.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
