Wailing women in the Bible
« on: June 05, 2012, 08:31:46 PM »
Does anyone have any interesting info on wailing women in the Bible or in Bible cultures.

I get people every day landing on my site after searching "wailing women in the Bible"  but I don't have much on this subject except for this:

The Wailing Women: During the dark days of Judah’s apostacy, when deception was rife (Jer 9:4-6), the only people who listened to God and the prophet Jeremiah were some women.  God gave the skilled wailing women a message and he authorised them to proclaim this message in his name. (See Jeremiah 9:17).  From http://newlife.id.au/equality-and-gender-issues/bible-women-with-spiritual-authority/

Any help or pointers to other works would be appreciated.
Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like people waiting for their master's return.  Luke 12:35-36b

This is really interesting.  I'd like some more info too.  Don't know if I'll have any time today, but hopefully I'll remember to get back to this.  :)
"Man is a being capable of subduing his emotions and impulses; he can rationalize his behavior. He arranges his wishes into a scale, he chooses; in short, he acts. What distinguishes man from beasts is precisely that he adjusts his behavior deliberately." Ludwig von Mises
