The Hidden Meaning of A Pregnant Woman
Things tend to be either a microcosm or a macrocosm.
What is the biggest thing in the universe?
The universe itself, of course.
But God, by definition, is even larger, vaster, than that.
So if we take God and the universe together
We capture the ultimate fullness of Totality,
Even the supreme summation of Everything.
But what is the perfect microcosm, miniature version,
of the union of God and the Universe,
What could we possibly come up with (that would be noteworthy)?
What captures the essence of the Creator-and-Creation unity,
While reducing it down to the unpretentious human level ?
How about a Pregnant Woman ?
How does she and her offspring serve as the microcosm
Of the relationship of God and the Universe ?!
Well, a woman as mother/creator is a metaphor for God the Creator,
While her fetus is within her, like Creation is within God.
For we read, "For in Him we live and move and have our being"(Acts 17.28).
(Yes, the Universe - not just humanity - is the Offspring of God.)
Christ said, "When you see me, you see the Father"(John 14.9).
But I say, Once you look at a pregnant woman,
you are actually seeing God and the Universe,
Whether you know it or not !!
PS:"Man[kind] is the glory of God"(1 Corinthians 11.7),
But "the woman [as mother] is the glory of man[kind]"(1 Corinthians 11.7),
So women are "the glory ...[of] the glory of God".
And "X of X" is the Hebrew way of conveying the superlative.
For example, "king of kings" means the greatest king.
So "the glory of the glory" would convey the greatest glory.
So women/mothers are the greatest glory of God.
