EZER KENEGDO ENCOUNTER

I spoke to a woman a while back about the EZER KENEGDO. The English language has not done justice to this term. The English translations says that a woman is a suitable helper. I really think that’s wrong. The word “Ezer” is defined in the Hebrew Old Testament as a Strong help like when God comes down to do battle for you. It is used to define a help in a military or battle sense. ”KENEGDO” is defined as one who comes along side. So it really means a strong fighter who is by your side to battle with you. As we talked the women who is a wife and mother said, “sometimes I feel as if my husband just wants me in the stands clapping and cheering for him. I believe I’m in the arena with him, handing him his sword, his ax and telling him, there is an enemy on your right, there is one coming on your left!” She said “ I’m there too, I’m not the one fighting but I’m in the battle too.” I’ve never heard that before. It brought me to tears. I said, you’re right, you’re absolutely 100 % correct. Life is full of battles. What a blessing that God created for man a EZER KENEGDO
