Even so much so that God send his son to be the salvation of the world through a woman. In society women have been on a consistent upswing despite legal oppression and workplace glass ceilings. Black women have assumed the position of being one of the most educated demographic on earth.

Ezer or help as prescribed in Our help (ezer)is in the name of the Lord. It is quite ironic that God made man in his image nonetheless he uses the same verb to describe the woman as he does himself in the Godhead.

God often uses an analogy of power comparable to what a woman is capable of doing in life.
