• Here are scriptures showing men and women wear similar categories of garments:

 

Men's Garments:

Exo 28:4  

And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

Exo 39:28  

And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches H4370 of fine twined linen,

Definition: 

Breeches H4370 

BDB Definition:1) underwear, drawers, trousers

 

Dan 3:21  

Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

Definition: 

Hosen: stockings or tights worn on the hips, legs and feet.

'Hosen' are historically, full-length, tight-fitting, footed garments worn by men from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, acting as the predecessors to modern stockings and breeches. In German, 'Hosen' is the plural for trousers.

1Ki 19:13  

And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

 

Women's Garments:

Joseph and Asenath 3:9

And Aseneth hurried and put on a fine linen robe of blue woven with gold and a golden girdle round her waist, and she put bracelets round her hands and feet, and about her feet she put golden buskins, and she put on golden trousers and a necklace round her neck.

Definition: 

trousers: an outer garment covering the body from the waist to the ankles, with a separate part for each leg

 

2Sa 13:18  

And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. 

Isa 3:20, 22, 24  

The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, 24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

• Through scripture, we see men and women wear robes, girdles (belts), mantles, headgear (hats/bonnets), and different types of pants (underwear, tights, leggings, and trousers).  ​

Deuteronomy 22:5

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Ahayah thy Alahayim. 

1Ti 2:9-10  

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing piety) with good works.

Women's pants

• It is a sin for a woman to wear men’s pants of any kind as the law says “ a woman shall not wear that which pertains unto a man.”Duet 22:5 In scripture, men and women wear similar garments such as robes, coats, girdles (belts), headgear and pants. In simplicity according to the law, they just don't wear the kind that pertains to the opposite gender in style or design so that a woman does not "to wear that which pertains to a man" and visa versa. There are men's long garments, which are evident by the masculine design, so women must be mindful not to wear that which pertains to a man. (1Sam 24:11, Psa 133:2, Ruth 3:9) It’s not a sin to wear women’s trousers. A sister should just ensure it’s modest apparel as women professing piety ought to do with shamefacedness. (1 Tim 2:9) So loose fitting trousers are fine according to the law and testimony. A woman who is mindful of the Lord would consider lose fitting clothing since some women are more comely in shape than usual and they all have to ensure they’re wearing modest apparel with shamefacedness. Some may even have to wear a flowy dress, blouse, or skirt over their trousers to accommodate their beauty in shape for modesty's sake. We see in the scriptures that women wore mantles (overtunic, cloak, robe of state), hoods, veils, mufflers (flowing veil/mantilla), wimples (shawls) in Isaiah 3:19-22 which are all flowing garments that help not reveal the physique of a woman. Also, women's pants ought to be unrevealing if they are going to be worn as an outward garment to maintain modesty. Tights, leggings, tight jeans, and/or spandex should be worn under a flowing skirt or blouse to maintain a modest appearance of apparel.

Exodus 23:20-21

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

• The Lord Christ is that Angel that was sent to keep us in the way by obeying his voice so that we may avoid being judged in the last judgment for not keeping the commandments. The Apostles, who's commandments are from the Lord, [1Co 14:37; 2Pet 3:2] commanded to adorn in modest apparel out of love for the Lord, so a woman may not provoke the Lord through disobedience, as the enemy desires, by not dressing in modest apparel so as to give place to Fornication to entice other's to lust after her, being beguiled by her immodest outward adorning. An example of immodest apparel, being led by fornication can be seen in the manner of dressing of the Egyptian woman, Zelicah, wherein she dressed in a manner to reveal her figure and features;

Testament of Joseph 9:6-7 

For when I was in her house she was wont to bare her arms, and breasts, and legs, that I might lie with her; for she was very beautiful, splendidly adorned in order to beguile me. 7 And the Lord guarded me from her devices.

• As for women in the faith, walking in the simplicity of the Lord's commands to dress modestly with good intent of heart will gain the help of Ahayah against the enemy and adversaries, that is, the devil and his spirits;

Exo 23:22

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

• So if we obey the Lord's voice by his Apostles as Alahayim wills, modest women's trousers made of clean materials are no transgression. Please refer to Clean vs Unclean Garments for understanding on clean materials for clothing.

​

Women's Head Coverings

• In the culture of the Believers, women wear head-coverings when going about in the world to maintain shamefacedness. [Acts of Thomas 56] When at home, not out in the world, they don't have to wear head-coverings in the presence of their husband and their own children like Eve who didn't wear a head covering in the presence of her husband and children. Also, when in the presence of other immediate family (not including that of a male cousin or an uncle) it is permissible for a woman's head to be uncovered. This means, the woman at home with just her immediate family, need only wear a covering when praying or prophesying (teaching scripture, discussing scripture). On the other hand, when at home, in the presence of male cousins and uncles, non-relatives, or other's children, they would cover their heads as a token of power on their heads because of the angels, being examples of believers in the modesty and shamefacedness of the faith in Christ Yache with a sign of their head’s authority over them, whether father or husband, upon their heads. It is confirmed in the law that the women covered their heads when out in the world since they had to remove their head-covering to imprecate the curse of jealousy which shows the women's heads were otherwise covered when going about in the world in shamefacedness.

Numbers 5:18

And the priest shall set the woman before Ahayah, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:

• According to the scriptures, for any woman who is not ashamed, married or unmarried, to go about in the world uncovered, there is a place prepared for the shameless to be hung by their hair in torments according to Acts of Thomas 56. 

Acts of Thomas 56 

"....Concerning these the man who accompanied me said the following: ‘the souls hung up by the tongue are slanderers and such as have spoken false and disgraceful words and are not ashamed. Those hung up by their hair are the shameless, who are not ashamed at all to go about with uncovered heads in the world..."

• There is also another witness that the women wore head-coverings when out in the world in the Songs of Solomon wherein the woman went out into the city to look for her beloved (man) and was attacked by the other men who took her veil from her.

Son 5:6-7  

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. 7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. ​

• As you see, she went about in shamefacedness to cover herself as she looked for her beloved, but an enemy took her vail against her will as she desired to walk in righteousness in the world. This helps understand that it's the spirits of the enemy that would lead to a woman going about in the world uncovered as even the beautiful garments of the daughters of Zion included head-coverings, which were taken from them because of their operation in the spirits of the enemy;

Isaiah 3:16, 18, 21, 23

Moreover Ahayah saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:  [18] In that day the Lord will take away [19] ..the mufflers, [20] The bonnets,… and the headbands, .. [21]…and the mantles, and the wimples,… [23]…the hoods, and the vails.  

• Yet for an example of a true daughter of Zion who's working righteousness and modestly adorning herself, Susanna would cover herself when in public, being raised by her parents according to the Law of Moses as an example of a believing woman's shamefacedness in the world:

Dan 13:2-3

And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord. 3 Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses. 

Dan 13:29-32

And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent. 30 So she came with her father and mother, her children, and all her kindred. 31 Now Susanna was a very delicate woman, and beauteous to behold. 32 And these wicked men commanded to uncover her face, (for she was covered) that they might be filled with her beauty.

• Not every woman is lead to cover their face, nor does the law require it. Susanna was dealt the measure of faith to do so, yet women who fulfill the law to be shamefaced and cover their heads in the world are also fulfilling the righteousness of faith measured out to them.

​

What is the Value of a Head-covering?

• The head-covering is a token of a woman's belief in Alahayim, humbling herself under His mighty hand in obedience to the rules the Lord Yache gave unto her in the law and Apostles, submitting herself to Their will and the head of household (man) They placed over her in her life for her salvation;

1 Clem 1:3

On the young too ye enjoined modest and seemly thoughts: and the women ye charged to perform all their duties in a blameless and seemly and pure conscience, cherishing their own husbands, as is meet; and ye taught them to keep in the rule of obedience...

1 Corinthians 14:34

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

• {the law was Gen 3:16}

Genesis 3:16

Unto the woman he said,..thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

• The head-covering is a token of the power of that head-ship, ruling over her, keeping herself under Christ through her head of household, as Christ is the head of the man;

1 Corinthians 11:3, 7-10

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; 7..the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 

Definition:

Power G1849
ἐξουσία
exousia
ex-oo-see'-ah
From G1832 (in the sense of ability); privilege, that is, (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence: - authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.

Thayer's definition:  4d) a sign of the husband’s authority over his wife 4d1) the veil with which propriety required a women to cover herself

• In the spiritual world, that head-covering is a token to the evil angels of the power of her head of household  over her as a hedge of protection through his head, Christ, for her through keeping herself under the mighty hand of Alahayim through obedience. This is done in honor of her husband, fathers, Christ and Alahayim;

1 Corinthians 11:1-2, 5

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. [2] Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. [5] But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

Definition: 

G4395
προφητεύω
prophēteuō
prof-ate-yoo'-o
From G4396; to foretell events, divine, speak under inspiration, exercise the prophetic office: - prophesy.

Thayer Definition: 1) to prophesy, to be a prophet, speak forth by divine inspirations, to predict 1a) to prophesy 1b) with the idea of foretelling future events pertaining especially to the kingdom of Alahayim 1c) to utter forth, declare, a thing which can only be known by divine revelation 1d) to break forth under sudden impulse in lofty discourse or praise of the divine counsels 1d1) under like prompting, to teach, refute, reprove, admonish, comfort others 1e) to act as a prophet, discharge the prophetic office

​

• The hair of the head (a natural covering) and a head-covering (the token of the power of spiritual covering) are two different things, yet without both one can be dishonoring one's head of household.

Testament of Naphtali 2:8

...and He joined on the neck to the head, adding to it the hair also for comeliness and glory..

1Co 11:5

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

• It's a dishonor for a woman's head of household for her to be shaven as her hair was given unto her for comeliness and glory, covering her naturally as a witness that the ought to wear a head-covering to be covered spiritually from evil angels when in the necessary environments or situations to do so;

1Co 11:14-15

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that,..15 if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

• Nature, the natural way women were created with their long hair for comeliness and glory, naturally covering them, teaches us that an actual head-covering is also for their comeliness and glory, spiritually covering them with power upon their heads from the evil angels. So just as it is dishonorable for her to have her hair shaven, so also is it dishonorable for her head to be uncovered without a head-covering whenever she is going about in the world, praying, or prophesying;

Acts of Thomas 56

Those hung up by their hair are the shameless, who are not ashamed at all to go about with uncovered heads in the world..."

1Co 11:5-6  

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 

• For a simplifying of what Paul was saying,"every woman that prays or prophesies uncovered without a head-covering, dishonors her head of household: for it is even all one (or just the same) as if she were shaven bald by the cutting off her hair. For if the woman be not covered with a head-covering, let her hair be shorn (cut off short): but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn (hair cut off short) or shaven (head balded), let her be covered with a head-covering to avoid the shame of having to cut off her hair or shave her head bald." This is to simply understand, the head covering isn't referring to a woman's hair because if she won't wear a covering (veil) then her hair ought to be shorn or shaven.)

Definition:

Covered G2619
G2619
κατακαλύπτω
katakaluptō
kat-ak-al-oop'-to
From G2596 and G2572; to cover wholly, that is, veil: - cover, hide.
Thayer Definition: 1) to cover up 2) to veil or cover one’s self

1Co 11:7, 10

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of Alahayim: but the woman is the glory of the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 

• Remember, the head covering is a token of the power of authority Alahayim has delegated unto the man in a woman's life. In simplicity, the woman's submission unto her covering's authority as her head (the man, whether father or husband) and lord is even as the Church subjects herself in every things unto Christ, her head.

Ephesians 5:24, 23

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

• The Church's example of covering herself in reverence for her husband;

Hermas Vision 4 

(2{23}:1) Behold, there meeteth me a virgin arrayed as if she were going forth from the bridal-chamber all in white and with white sandals, veiled up to her forehead and her head-covering consisted of a turban, and her hair was white. 2{23}:2 I knew from the former visions that it was the church, and I became cheerful.

• She is an example for her daughters to follow in spirit (heart), modest appearance, and works, submitting themselves to their head of household;

Eph 5:22

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.  

1 Peter 3:6

Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

• A head-covering can range from a cap, mantle, veil, hood, head wrap, or other forms of headdresses.

 

The Examples of Righteous Women  

• The righteousness of head-coverings in the world are a similitude of the appearance and modesty of the righteous female angels and spirits in the invisible world. As we touched on in the prior segment, the Church, Christ's wife, wears a head-covering as an example to all her daughters to wear a covering also in obedience to their head even as She herself is in obedience to Yache, her Husband and Lord. 

Hermas Vision 4 

(2{23}:1) Behold, there meeteth me a virgin arrayed as if she were going forth from the bridal-chamber all in white and with white sandals, veiled up to her forehead and her head-covering consisted of a turban, and her hair was white. 2{23}:2 I knew from the former visions that it was the church, and I became cheerful...​

•  The righteous women show forth their faith by modestly adorning themselves in subjection even as the Church is unto Christ., following her example for wives and daughters alike. The young women also show honor for their parents in respect of the commands of the Lord to adorn themselves modestly along with a head-covering;

Eph 6:1  

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 

Sir 3:2  

For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children..

• In respect of the honor the Lord has given unto the father over the children, his daughters also veil themselves with  covering in the appropriate situations and environments. It is by the spirits of pride, even as the Lord spake of the daughters of Zion's haughtiness of heart, that a daughter dishonors her father, to go about uncovered when she should be covered in shamefacedness;

Ecclesiasticus 22:5

She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her husband;

• Unfortunately, if she maintains her pride, she would reverence her husband either to cover herself, dishonoring him as well;

Ecclesiasticus 26:26

A woman that honoureth her husband shall be judged wise of all; but she that dishonoureth him in her pride shall be counted unholy of all.

• An example of a righteous and wise daughter from her youth up into the age of marriage, honoring her father and husband by her good works:

4Macc 18:4-5

Now these are the words that the mother of the seven sons, the righteous woman, spake to her children: 'I was a pure maiden, and I strayed not from my father's house, and I kept guard over the rib that was builded into Eve. 5. No seducer of the desert, no deceiver in the field, corrupted me; nor did the false, beguiling Serpent sully the purity of my maidenhood; 6. I lived with my husband all the days of my youth;

​

The Examples of Righteous Daughters

•  The 12 holy spirits (the virgin sisters of the Son of Alahayim) also dress modestly, in honoring the Holy Father as a similitude of how the daughters of Alahayim ought to adorn themselves in the world, giving honor unto their head of household (the man), their lord and the Everlasting father Yache, and the Holy Father Ahayah.  

Shepard of Hermas Parable 9

13[90]:2 "And these virgins, who are they?" "They," saith he, "are holy spirits; and no man can otherwise be found in the kingdom of Alahayim, unless these shall clothe him with their garment; for if thou receive only the name, but receive not the garment from them, thou profitest nothing. For these virgins are powers of the Son of Alahayim. If [therefore] thou bear the Name, and bear not His power, thou shalt bear His Name to none effect.

• Their names are:

15[92]:1 "Declare to me, Sir," say I, "the names of the virgins..." "Hear, " saith he, "the names of the more powerful virgins, those that are stationed at the corners. 15[92]:2 The first is Faith, and the second, Continence, and the third, Power, and the fourth, Long-suffering. But the others stationed between them have these names: Simplicity, Guilelessness, Purity, Cheerfulness, Truth, Understanding, Concord, Love. He that beareth these names and the name of the Son of Alahayim shall be able to enter into the kingdom of Alahayim.

• Their modest appearance in shamefacedness;

2[79]:3 And around the gate stood twelve virgins. The four then that stood at the corners seemed to me to be more glorious (than the rest); but the others likewise were glorious; and they stood at the four quarters of the gate, and virgins stood in pairs between them. 2[79]:4 And they were clothed in linen tunics and girt about in seemly fashion, having their right shoulders free, as if they intended to carry some burden. Thus were they prepared, for they were very cheerful and eager.

• (A tunic is a garment for the body, simple in style, that goes down to one's feet. They were girt about in seemly fashion and they had modest apparel without exposing their shoulders, nor physique with tight clothing.)

Definition:

Seemly: conforming to accepted notions of propriety or good taste; decorous. appropriate; fitting.

• It is unseemly for a woman to go about in the world uncovered and immodestly dressed as the 12 evil women (who will be discussed in the next section) so it is understood that the 12 virgins were covered and in modest apparel in accord with what is considered appropriate and seemly fashion in the faith by precept. One can confirm this to be true in that the 12 women in black who are evil spirits were of a savage appearance having their heads uncovered in Hermas Parable 9 as opposed to the seemliness of the virgins.​

2[79]:5 After I had seen these things, I marvelled in myself at the greatness and the glory of what I was seeing And again I was perplexed concerning the virgins, that delicate as they were they stood up like men, as if they intended to carry the whole heaven.

• (The righteousness of the seemly virgins left him in awe as they were not only modest in appearance, but also zealous to do the work of Alahayim, being cheerful, eager, delicate, and strong in faith to bear whatever was needed of them to fulfill the Lord's work.)

Definition:
Delicate: (of a person or an action) tactful and considerate.

• The examples of modest apparel, head-coverings, and zeal for work of the Lord by the righteous women in the invisible world is a good example of the way women in the faith ought to adorn themselves and operate when going about in the world in seemly fashion.

Unseemly Fashion

• Going about uncovered in the world is a similitude of the evil women in the invisible world and is considered a savage look as oppose to seemly fashion. In the holy books, when it comes to appearance, the female evil spirits have their heads uncovered as they go about in creation, physique exposed, and shoulders bare to allure men to be enticed by them for a testimony that going about in the world uncovered and dressed immodestly is not a profession of faith in Christ nor commending the righteousness of Alahayim:

Hermas Parable 9

9{86}:5 So twelve women were called, most beautiful in form, clad in black, {girded about and having the shoulders bare} with their hair hanging loose. And these women, I thought had a savage look. And the shepherd ordered them to take up the stones which had been cast away from the building, and to carry them off to the same mountains from which also they had been brought.

• (These women looked savage due to their immodest clothing, in which their bare shoulders were exposed, their physique was visible due to the revealing nature of their attire, and their heads were uncovered, as their hair hung loose.)

Definition:

Savage: an uncultured or brutish person; severe, (of an animal) uncontrolled; a brutal or vicious

• Make no mistake, these women's attire were with the intent of drawing men into spiritual fornication to clothed themselves in their powers (spirits), even as a woman who dresses in this fasion in the visible world is operating with the same intent to overcome other in their minds to desire her and cleave to her in fornication, whether in the minds or in the actual act;

Testament of Joseph 9:5

For when I was in her house she was wont to bare her arms, and breasts, and legs, that I might lie with her..

• (These 12 evil women, adorned to draw souls into spiritual fornication, persuaded men to desire them by their appearance, bewitching them by craft and outward attractions into the desire for pleasure with them, that is, in the qualities of their spirits to commit evil in idolatry, giving their minds over to self-indulgence in their works)

Hermas Parable 9

13[90]:7 These all," [saith he,] "received the name of the Son of Alahayim, and received likewise the power of these virgins. When then they received these spirits, they were strengthened, and were with the servants of Alahayim, and they had one spirit and one body [and one garment]; for they had the same mind, and they wrought righteousness.

13[90]:8 After a certain time then they were persuaded by the women whom thou sawest clad in black raiment, and having their shoulders bare and their hair loose, and beautiful in form. When they saw them they desired them, and they clothed themselves with their power, but they stripped off from themselves the power of the virgins.

• These men were overcome in spiritual fornication, giving their mind's over to the desire for pleasure (indulgence) in the works of these 12 women to their hurt which led them astray from the faith to operate in the power (qualities) of those evil spirits;

Hermas Parable 6

5[65]:5 "What kinds of self-indulgence, Sir," say I, "are harmful?" "Every action," saith he, "is self-indulgence to a man, which he does with pleasure; for the irascible man, when he gives the reins to his passion, is self-indulgent; and the adulterer and the drunkard and the slanderer and the liar and the miser and the defrauder and he that doeth things akin to these, giveth the reins to his peculiar passion; therefore, he is self-indulgent in his action. 6 All these habits of self-indulgence are harmful to the servants of Alahayim.

• As one can see, the twelve women with the savage look weren't merely savage in appearance, but were the evil spirits that can lead the faithful away from the kingdom, being savage in their works against the souls of men (that is, mankind, as they operate in women and men alike).

Hermas Parable 9

15[92]:3 Hear," saith he, "likewise the names of the women that wear the black garments. Of these also four are more powerful than the rest; the first is Unbelief; the second, Intemperance; the third, Disobedience; the fourth, Deceit; and their followers are called, Sadness, Wickedness, Wantonness, Irascibility, Falsehood, Folly, Slander, Hatred. The servant of Alahayim that beareth these names shall see the kingdom of Alahayim, but shall not enter into it."​​

• For understanding how one can be operating in these spirits, yet see the kingdom, but not enter into it, it's because one would be puffed up or glorying in knowledge or seeking knowledge, yet not humbling one's self to actually perform the good works of righteousness which actually would show one has understanding and is walking in the truth by departing from evil;

Titus 1:16 

They profess that they know Alahayim; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Hermas Parable 9

22[99]:1 "And from the fifth mountain, which had green grass and was rugged, they that believed are such as these; they are faithful, but slow to learn and stubborn and self-pleasers, desiring to know all things, and yet they know nothing at all. 2 By reason of this their stubbornness, understanding stood aloof from them, and a foolish senselessness entered into them; and they praise themselves as having understanding, and they desire to be self-appointed teachers, senseless though they are. 3 Owing then to this pride of heart many, while they exalted themselves, have been made empty; for a mighty demon is stubbornness and vain confidence.

2 Timothy 3:7

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

• Now for understanding of how to enter the kingdom, coming to the knowledge of the truth, one must do as follows;

1 John 3:23 

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Yache Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

Romans 13:10 

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

1 John 3:24 

And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Job 28:28 

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Mark 12:32-34

And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one Alahayim; and there is none other but he: 33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34 And when Yache saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of Alahayim...

2 Peter 1:5-12

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience holiness; 7 And to holiness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yache Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Yache Christ. 12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

• Lord willing, that edification helps to understand that true understanding is to depart from evil and working righteousness with all the heart and soul shall enable us to enter the kingdom.

• Touching back on the appearance of women, through the spiritual world, we have examples of seemly fashion as opposed to the savage look for women and what spirits allure women to walk in those fashions. In the spiritual world, the other evil spirits that are at work in creation are also uncovered as a testimony of the unrighteousness of being uncovered when going about in the visible and spiritual world. 

Testament of Solomon 57-59

And I adored Ahayah Alahayim of Israel, and bade another demon present himself. And there came before me a spirit in woman's form, that had a head without any limbs, and her hair was dishevelled 58...What art thou?" And she said: "I am called among men Obizuth; ...59. When I Solomon heard this, I marvelled at her appearance, for I beheld all her body to be in darkness. But her glance was altogether bright and greeny, and her hair was tossed wildly like a dragon's; and the whole of her limbs were invisible.

• In the physical world, there are women who are misguided from the simplicity of the faith unto adorning themselves as these 12 evil women and the evil spirits in their outward appearance, modes of operation and actions. ​

Pro 7:9-15 

In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. 11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. ​​​

• As one can see, a woman's behavior and/or attire correlates to what spirit(s) she is being influenced by. The 12 evil women entice believers unto spiritual fornication, while the women in the world who dress like them are setting a stumbling block for others through the spirit of Fornication and her children at work to entice others unto fornication, whether in their heart, or with their eyes, or to sin in general, or commit the act itself). Reuben warned against the spirit of Fornication and how she leads to unseemly adorning to deceive the mind so that women don't adorn themselves in the world like these evil spirits to deceive the minds of others nor have ill intent in their hearts when beautifying themselves in general;​​​​​​
