Woman Is The Glory of the Glory Of God = Woman Is The GREATEST Glory of God

"Woman is the glory of Man" and "Man is the glory of God"(1st Corinthians 11.7).
So woman is the glory of the glory of God, you could say.
I framed this sentence deliberately so that i could say the "glory of the glory".
Why, well in Hebrew if you want to say the "greatest king," you say "king of kings."
The greatest or longest age/eon is "age of ages."
When the New Testament speaks of eternity or says "forever," in the Greek it says "aionos of aionos" (which translates into eon of eons.
The authors were bringing a hebrewism into the Greek.)
My point is that X of X is the Hebrew way of conveying the superlative.
So we can apply this reasoning to "glory of glory."
 It would have to mean the greatest glory !!
So if "woman is the glory of the glory of God," this makes woman the greatest glory of God !! Superior to man, in other words !!
Technically, "glory of glories" would mean the greatest glory. Rather than "glory of the glory."
 I mean it is supposed to be the plural form of the word.
But i don't think that weakness disqualifies "the glory of the glory" from meaning "the greatest glory."
Now that we've gotten this far, just what can we do with this idea of female superiority ??!!
Well, we know that the Bible foretells the time in which "men will learn war no more"(Isaiah 2.4; Micah 4.3).
 Glory to God for that message !! Warfare has always been an integral part of the male role.
It may be that God giving men hegemony over society was due to the need for soldiers.
I mean, maybe the end of warfare means the male place on the totem pole will slip.
Maybe males will suffer a demotion, with females moving up.
Could it be that God never intended for male hegemony to be the norm indefinitely - for millions of years into the future !!

The Church is the "Body of Christ"( Ephesians 1.22,23).
 This isn't limited to just the Church as an institution.
Christian society can be thought of in this way.("the Body of Christ.")
So when the whole world becomes converted (at/after the Second Coming), human society will = "the Body of Christ" !!
But my point here is that this "body of Christ" is called or likened to a female, the wife figure(Ephesians 5.25).
So human society as a whole is destined to be viewed as feminine, so to speak !!
THIS is what lies ahead !!
A bee hive is headed up ny the queen bee, and is a matriarchal society.
Perhaps human society will be somewhat like that.
