The Power of the Queen
The righteous attributes of a Queen is represented in strength and power is a Proverbs 31 woman. Just as in chess the Queen is the most powerful piece on the board. She can move any number of spaces within any direction. She is the primary protector of the King who is limited to a single step at a time.
Before we start talking about the powerful Proverbs 31 woman, let's look at some interesting biblical facts about men and women.
Those who have never witnessed a team, that is, a man and a woman functionally working together, are unaware of the benefits of a team center relationship. As a result unfamiliarity of a team like relationship, will incorrectly try to mimic missing members of a fully functional team, or try to mimic the ideals of their interpretation of that type of relationship.
Let's take a look at the world's first couple. It may surprise those familiar with English that the word adam is a neutral phrase that means "human," not "man." All references to Adam in the original Hebrew text are neutral until God takes some of Adam's flesh and creates a woman: ishah, in Hebrew. Only at that time is Adam referred to as ish, a man. The Hebrew word ishah alludes to her roots within the ish, which we might imitate in English with the words "man" and "woman." However, Adam is never referred to as an ish until the ishah has been removed from him. The poem seems to imply that male and female cannot properly describe themselves as human without the other.
Women have a natural proclivity towards growth and development. They will thrive in whatever environment they placed in or problem they encounter either effective or devastating, working or not.
Men, you are the ones who are accountable. Your presence is powerful in the family structure! It's important for fathers to teach their daughters how to value themselves, and to value their bodies. Which is the beginning of an eradicating, broken families. It started with the man, it stops with him!
We may not understand it, but this logic is part of the next verse, which states that when a man and a woman marries, they become "one." They are reverting to Yahuah's original design before the separation of the ish and ishah. The harmony between man and woman is associated in their separation, as the first ishah gives what the ish lacks. In Yahuah's design, the two together eventually reflect the image of God.
The Torah states that Elohym יהוה ‘created‘ and ‘made‘ mankind. The inner being which is spirit was created and the outer being which is flesh was made. The Hebrew word translated ‘created‘ in the Tanakh is BARA. There are two Hebrew words translated ‘made‘ ASAH & BANAH. The word ‘ASAH' is used in most scriptures where the Elohym יהוה says He makes things and makes man; however, when the Elohym יהוה makes woman the word BANAH is used.
“And the rib, which the Elohym יהוה had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” (Genesis 2:22)
The Elohym יהוה elaborate design was made from a rib taken from man's side. This signifies that she was not to be ahead of or behind him, not to be above or beneath him; but to be beside him, loved and protected by him and to be equal to him. She was not a mere physical help but an intellectual and spiritual help, as well as יהוה gift to man so that man would prosper.
The Hebrew word BANAH (Strong's H1129), pronounced bä•nä, literally means ‘to build or rebuild‘ as if building a house (family) or temple; ‘to establish‘ as if making something permanent; and ‘to cause to continue‘ referring to producing offspring. Thus we see that woman was not ordinary but extraordinary!
Adam called himself “ISH” (man or husband) in Genesis 2:23 and called Eve “ISH SHAH” (she-man, wife or womb-man) but there is so much more to this “woman” as we will see. A true Proverbs 31 woman is genuinely led by יהוה in everything she does. She is guided by HIM in every aspect: spiritually, mentally, volitionally, emotionally and physically. A woman completely led by יהוה is the ideal woman and a blessing to the man of יהוה.

How do you show Yahuah that you love him you do the things that He Loves!! There is never a good excuse for not honoring God in your life, and as soon as we open up our mouths with such excuses, we've already been doom to fail. All that you ever ask for was our obedience, and the observance of the laws, statutes and Commandments. “Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Adonai Yahuah! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But Yahuah said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for you shall go to all that I shall send you, and whatsoever I command you you shall speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with you to deliver you, says Yahuah. Then Yahuah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And Yahuah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. YIRMEYAHU (JEREMIAH) 1:5-10”
